When I watched it, my roommate said that it would feel too dark after watching it, and I would feel very sad, but I didn't shed any tears after watching it. I just felt that the fighting was exciting and Satan was so beautiful.
I like the connection between sexuality and violence - basically all demons expose their archetypes in sex, and carnal lust breeds ecstasy and lures wild beasts.
And those depressing points are nothing more than friendship, family affection, and love. The macro point may be the life and death of human beings, the temptation of gods, and the boundaries of cognition.
I am a very pessimistic person, the demise of mankind is an inevitable outcome for me, I do not believe that human beings can defeat Satan at all, just like I do not believe that emotions can defeat machinery, so this is a correct animation, it is a An animation that completely fits my worldview, and all the battles of the demon male protagonist are laudable, but at the same time, it also reflects that humans are not worth it.
A subversion for me is that I always thought that humans are superior animals precisely because they have emotions and empathy, but this animation believes that love is a weakness that humans can break through. Satan says that humans are vulnerable because they perceive love, a metaphor for the age of mechanization. And in the last scene, Satan actually felt love and heartache, which is another metaphor.
What I can't talk about is "the temptation of the gods". I believe that a large part of it is related to oracles, such as the Bible, myths, etc., full of a strong sense of mission, I can only feel it approximately, but Can't say why.
