Every time I listen to this song, a strange feeling runs through my body, like a region of old memories overflowing in my mind, so vague, so beautiful. But full of regret, a heartbreaking sadness. You did your best, smile, Setsumi.
A little girl who lost her place in life, an outcast in this place we call terra, but in the end she went away, so far away from this place to find her own happiness, a place where she belongs 😭
after finishing almost every narcissu that is translated into English, I feel like every single day I'm morning for some people who don't exist. at least, it's good that they smiled at the end.
Actually, there is a Narcissu light novel. IMO it's not as good as the original because they changed a few bits that emphasized the bleak and hopeless tone of the original VN.
I felt deflated after completing this vn. It wasn’t the type of sadness that I got with watching Clannad. This one left an impression of emptiness. That is the best way I can describe it.
I am crying everytime i remember the story. All the things about Echo and other things would make player think that at last character would change his mind and stop Setsumi from doing this. But when i saw he gave her his license i just broke into tears. I am not a young boy neither on hormones but its so sad that it made me crying
If we talk about 1 hour 30 minutes movies, those are kinda 9x 20 minute episodes. An anime can also show a lot more than text and we could get even more depth, so a standard 12 episodes anime could be made. It doesn't even matter, I just finished narcissu 1 and am sad asf
I played Narcissu part 1 and still can't find enough strenght in myself to play part 2nd. I feel like this would break me from inside. By the end of part 1, I couldn't even cry anymore.
ik waht you mean, i've been telling myself to read the 2nd side for a year now but i just can't get myself to do it.. I always feel so empty after reading the story.
Suicide as a symbolic device in literature often represents the character's rejection of his/her fate. Shakespeare used this quite often (in the case of Juliet and Ophelia). Perhaps the reason is that Setsumi wanted to choose beyond waiting for her fated demise, not being able to achieve anything. She did wanted to die painlessly. But that's just one among a sea of interpretations.
Yup, I think this is further emphasized when you read side 2nd and realize Setsumi's triumph. She was the girl who broke the curse of death on 7F. She chose the place where she wanted to die instead of waiting for the disease to take her life.
I just played the visual novel for around 2hrs. Haven't completed it but I can say that I cried almost the entire time. Especially the 7th floor room "arc". That was depressing as hell man. I cried so god damn much. This entire arc was just tears.. Not a single laugh. I am NOT looking forward to completing the rest of this... But at the same time I am. My heart hurts as I think about it. This Ost in particular.. God my heart feels like it's being squeezed tight.
Does anyone remember a visual novel released around the same period as Narcissu, also translated from Japanese to English, about two girls who was cycling when she found a cell phone or the cell phone started acting weird (I can't remember which) and it turns out the other girl is actually in an alternate universe very much similar to their own? They discover this towards the end when they promised to meet up but the other girl didn't show. It was short and a bit bittersweet. Does anyone else remember playing it?
@@nasterfireguy4467 I found it! It's called Natsu no Hi no Resonance :) Sorry for spoiling but it's so comforting and thoughtful. Lmk how you like it if you play!
Apache 14 They tell you she's going to die in the beginning with the suicide statistics comment. Also I agree with you on Akame ga Kill. Seryuu's death was a noble one.
