Sh15uya - Talkback

[Kyusaku]

It's kind of like the matrix if you ask me. So it's aired around 3:12PM Monday in Japan ? Yeah, I wouldn't say it's really suitable for kids having all the killing.

Not 3:12PM, AM technically 27:12, which is Tuesday 3:12AM. It's like a matrix for missing 15 year olds. I find the language and dialogue content to be much more of an issue than the violence, also the scenery. In one of the earlier episodes there is a scene where Tsuyoshi is talking to the Palhands leader, Ryugo, you see a bunch of Ero posters, which you can clearly see. I doubt they'd let a show that has nude pictures of women air during the daytime.

Tuesday 3:12AM Japan time ? Wow. This really gets me wondering on who watches this show. So is there any profanity ?

 

[Kyusaku]

So is there any profanity ?

Yes there's some. Overall the speech patterns of the characters are very "street". So they talk like thugs.

Can you give me a basic rundown of the show ? All I know is that there's a bunch of kids - 3 gangs. They must live in some sort of Matrix like world. I have no idea what the story is about though.

Shibuya is a real place in Japan. It's a very commercialized area. Lots of stores, arcades, etc. It's a very popular hang out for teens. The introduction calls Sh15uya a virtual world for 15 year olds who have disappeared.

These 15 year olds play out these roles set for them. The 15s are members of 3 gangs, Palhands, Bunkamu, and Rabugen. Then you have Ema and Tsuyoshi. Ema's powers haven't been explained, but Tsuyoshi's origin is being explained especially in ep 7. The purpose of Piece/Peace is to cull the herd. He removes any of the 15s that might break out of their set mold, once they become "broken" they are marked and hunted down by Piece/Peace. There is a plot point in ep 7 about what happens after the person is killed but I'm not spoiling.

 

[Tachibana Sakuya]

So if any of the kids break out of their set herd, they will get killed by Peace ? Do you mean the gangs ?

More like their set programming. They've all been brainwashed to play certain roles. You saw ep 6 so you remember the whole thing with the photo.

Oh ok I get it. Mari's parents became that other girl's parents. I thought Peace only appears when they're about to kill someone. That's how its been for the past couple episodes. So these kids are opt to play their roles otherwise they face execution ?

SPOILERS!








Remember how girl in first episode went insane? Remember how the girl who was about to kill DJ went insane? Remember after Asagi broke her mold she became marked? And then again later when she learned too much? Etc. etc.
