    • “fuck you dad!”
    • main cast commit terrorism
    • manmade horrors beyond comprehension
    • the villain was kinda right?
    • beware men with unnatural hair colours
    • memory loss

      How about:

      • Magic/Magitech doesn’t kill people, people kill people. (VI)
      • Killing an illegal alien and her “child” makes you a hero. (VII)
      • Burn the Witches. (VIII)
      • Never trust a polycule with an overweight woman, a twink, a group in robes, and a geezer. (IX)
      • One of these teens will die by the end and they know it, but they will hide this fact from their lover for some reason. (X)
      • You’ve been marked by a demon. Do what they say and die, or don’t and become a monster. (XIII)
      • Celebrity deathmatch: who will be the ultimate (E)icon? (XVI)

      Note: Only intended to be a silly joke. None of the above reflects my opinion on anything in the real world, to be fully and unambiguously clear.

      Amnesia is an extremely common trope in Japanese fiction: anime, manga, and games. At this point I’d say it’s reaching cliche status.

      They also almost always get the symptoms of amnesia wrong: the characters forget who they are. In real life amnesia cases that basically never happens. People can forget a lot of other things but they never forget who they are.
