Re:CREATORS (TV).

I am almost certain our White Haired Military garbed girls creator... spoiler[Was the suicide girl from episode one, so what happens when God is Dead?]

If you were to meet your creator, would you despise them or thank them if they granted you various hardships to overcome or forced into a soul crushing situation, what if you were the designated villain to be hated?

I am almost certain our White Haired Military garbed girls creator... spoiler[Was the suicide girl from episode one, so what happens when God is Dead?].

Heroine following the Pretty Cure-esque show logic that a fight scene will resolve the episodes tension and everyone could become friends after, it of course does NOT work out.

What if white haired military girl spoiler[drove her creator to suicide? She already seems to have tried to manipulate the other characters], I might not put it past her.

When Meteora says her world has 'enough information to construct worlds':
does this mean that in addition to different laws of physics they have different laws of information theory? like a fire upon the deep? differences in modes of thought that can exist? I think that's also the explanation of why the repair magic didn't work. Destruction is a lot easier than creation and a lot simpler. Maybe the relative simplicities in her universe enable something like repair magic but ours definitely doesn't. It's interesting to see that some of the magic still works, like Silesia flying or Mamika's heart blasts, so I guess that implies that the information theory stuff is a deeper and more fundamental difference than just 'physics'. Actually Meteora says this I think.

Of all the characters so far, Mamika seems the least self-aware. Well actually I don't think that's quite right. It's just that since she's from a work intended for children her priors are a lot farther from the nature of the world she currently finds herself in, so she may have some harder lessons to learn. I get the impression she'll wrap her head around new modes of thinking pretty quickly and turn out OK. It's kind of funny since her world probably was very similar culturally and technologically to modern Japan, but she's the one having the most trouble adapting because there are fundamental differences in the laws of cause and effect and differences in human behavior.

I'm still really liking Silesia. She's pretty hard to get a read on, in that she makes little statements or gestures, like clenching her fist when Mamika is talking about the morality of the 'gods', where you might have a general idea of what she's thinking, but that's only a guess at best. She is a bit cryptic and to me that makes her seem very real. Along these lines, what was she going to do to Mamika after she gave her speech about having to follow through on displays of force and how by realistic and 'adult' standards Mamika's behavior was pretty barbaric? Was she going to kill Mamika? Just rough her up a little or scare her? It's pretty unclear what exactly she was going to do. I don't think I've seen anything where the main hero was this subtly crypitc. I want to learn more about her.

Selesia is a good person but like Mamika she is flawed. I think she expects the battle to end with one of them dead because that is how battles end in her world. That she was telling Mamika to remember her advice was because she thought she was about to die. Both characters are still figuratively trapped in their own world and are having trouble adjusting to the real world.

I was also thinking specifically of what age levels their work is for, which I think is kind of reflected in their ages. Mamika is a child meant for children, and thus think of easy answers. While Selesia is more of an angsty teen made for teens, even if she looks together on things, she is more made for teenagers who have come off of such childish and are all too happy to show that kids are wrong because they know more of the world, and actually get a bit of revenge to show them they are wrong.

Yet the true mature thing that hopefully an adult that has things together would do would be to try and de-escalate the situation, that trying to throw that you were right even if you continue the conflict is not a way to handle something like that. But that is also hoping for a bit, because you might even get the worse ones that lean even further as work for adults who would want to blow off steam.

I don't think I've ever had so much exposition shoved in my face at once since The irregular at high school! I mean damn. The first half was just explaining a theories (some of which that aren't probably theories) of how the world works with random stuff in the background. Spread that shit out through the story geez! >:/

Also I kind of call bullshit on the worlds characters are from technically already existing and apparently humans ended up writing stuff that is exactly the same which is how they are connected (even the characters within called bullshit) if that is in fact how the lore of this show works. Miss bookwarm even brought up the possibility of characters within their world having stories that could have their own worlds but for some reason it isn't multilayered. What does that even mean? I assume that just because a book exists in a fictional world doesn't mean it carries the same depth of info as the real world because a creator might not describe in full what is contained in the book. But what if they do? What a if a creator does create a story within a story that has the same amount of information as a book in the real world? And that information resonates with someone reading that story which causes them to try to create a story? Doesn't that mean it technically exists already?! Gah so confusing >.>.

Adding onto that wouldn't that mean these people technically don't have creators and the title should be changed to Re: Editors since they are influencing a world that already exists?

Anyways random magical girl enters the scene! Probably the thing I liked most about the episode was her coming to terms with the laws of the real world and meeting someone on pretty much the complete opposite side of the spectrum, a girl from a world full of fighting. The main slip up however is that the anime seems to be moving way to fast for it's own good. At first she brings up wanting creators to change the bad things that happen in the worlds. That's cool and all. But since Celestia immediately denounces the claim it's kind of pointless (yeah she clenches her fist but that could have just been her getting angry thinking at the magical thinking her world simply nothing but killing). Yes she probably does so because the villain told her that but if Miss bookworms theory is right it's not like what she said is a total lie. Plus if Celestia has suffered some heavy loses in her world (which seems to be implied) I'm kind of surprised she's so quick to ignore what she's saying. I feel like more like a bit more contemplation would have sufficed but we had to move into a fight scene so there isn't any time for that.

Either way it looks like Souta's apartment is going to be full of freaks. Also I'm going to put money on it now that the white haired girl is a creation that Souta made when he was younger. The half showing of his picture is a common screenwriter tactic.

It was just a theory, the sort of thing you were complaining about earlier. A character making a theory does in a show does not mean what they are saying is the truth, but maybe to highlight certain aspects of the show to make it clear that they were not just not thought about. And the already existing worlds theory could fit into infinite universes where there is a world of anything could happen, and thus the writer making the story happens to anchor a world the exact same. It does not mean it is the most likely, but clearly she is pretty much a scientist of things that are not so easy to nail down (magic).

The whole world being within a book as it is, kind of goes into a being like "if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?". Normally the characters in the story could not observe those above to know if they are created, and the character above cannot normally know the one bellow has some sort of aspect of independence. If the creator world made a sort of fleshed out story that appeared within a different story, the perhaps the rules mean it already exists as a story within the creator world, the book might just act as a point they might theoretically overlap

Well apparently the characters in the show are not aware of the show they are in. As it is many people make the stupid cinema sin like thing of saying "Ding, roll credits" the second a character says such a thing as their series name.

Well perhaps she was quick to come to the conclusion that she only exists herself because of the way the story was, that if it was all sunshine and rainbows then any way she would exist would be all sunshine and it would not be herself, but someone who only looked like her. That leaving thoughts that the absolute authority of making a happy world is up to decisions of the creator is removing the agency she has felt that she had her entire life, that one should never have to work for anything.

You are not the only one thinking that, but his dead sister is also aspect that people are looking at. That the two of them were creating stories, and so far it looks to be leaning towards having him finish the story he has had unfinished.

Well apparently, the episode had Selestia being saved by Yuya although I suspect that his intentions are much more than just being heroic.

MP was likely a mary sue stylized character and was made with the purpose of hating on Setsuna's current life.
