This isn't Mirai Fukuin?  But that's not all that surprising, seeing as Mirai Fukuin probably isn't just talking heads.

That kind of appreciation - that I'm genuinely thankful for being able to see it - and treasure it as much as my very favorite titles are along with the 7 films that preceded it.

maybe it's because they talked about things I've contemplated too many times before, but with greater understanding?

Though I may want to go through some of the parts again to understand it more, I definitely didn't feel anything like you felt.

This feels similar to that comment some guy on VNDB made about Cross+Channel.

"I guess its only the people with intrapersonal and/or interpersonal intelligence that fully grasp the sublimity of this VN. What a disappointing society..."

That totally pissed me off for a few minutes, before I thought more into it and realized, what he's saying probably has truth in it (and isn't simply bashing others), which then sort of pissed  me off in a different way....

Cross+Channel is pretty much one of these things that focus much more heavily on Characterization than plot.  And I thought it was mostly boring except for some specific parts and the ending.  And while I liked Cross+Channel's ending, I feel that's a only a "shallow" sort of surface like, and different from what he (that guy from VNDB), and without doubt many other, saw in it.

So is it my average (or less-than-average) understanding of people, feelings, the non-scientific side of the mind and heart, that has failed me in seeing the true excellence within that which is one of the highest rated VNs (currently 11th on EGS discounting duplicates), and is considered an absolute masterpiece by many?  

Including Kinoko Nasu (who wrote Kara no Kyoukai which wee were just talking about)

And he asked me...

Have you ever measured the depth of your self?
Do you find worth for the people around you?
Are you interested in "humans"?

And I could not answer him.  Because "yes" would be a huge lie.  "Maybe" at most, even that would be slightly pushing it.

On a different note, that kid's arc in Bakemonogatari is boring the fuck out of me, hope it gets better later on...
