The crimes we commit because of our ignorance,
the consequences of our action the we could not foresee,
the hate that is bour from the fear of that we do not understand,

The hero hunting the evil creature only to discover the it is not evil and she herself is one of the reasons for the sufering of the people, the creature itself hiding in fear unsure what to do unable to act only to shed tears for those arund her.

Hope someone can understan this...

this reminds me of the quote "we stopped looking for monsters under the bed when we realised they're inside us"
i think this basically means that..people hide behind convenient ideologies..good and evil..but what they fail to see is that..they too are hurting others
there's no such thing as good/bad person
because everyone has both sides to their personalities
we're always unconsciously hurting someone in the process
i think the 'hero' in the quote realised that she isnt one and this made her feel confused and helpless

now there are series where there was a guy who was a hero, but due to insanity caused either from overuse of his powers, or corruption from the true evil force or something became insane and a villian.

thats pretty common.

Monsters.. in anime, not so much. If you can't put breasts on it, they don't feel like making it into an anime.

Generally its not going to be that simple. Yes you hear a one sided story from your propaganda, but if the story is being told, the other side won't be pure good. more a story of equal blame.

this part needed more thinking..a little more profound than the second part
"the fear of that we do not understand"..hmm you see,why are we afraid of the dark?its because we lose one of our senses..you cannot see in the dark and therefore you feel insecure
it's the same thing here..when you cant comprehend something when you dont understand why it happened ,you feel afraid
this might actually be a reference to god
we cant comprehend the strength,existence or the ability of this being called god
but some still choose to have faith in what they cant see nor understand
but what happens when the fear turns into hate?when it becomes an excuse to justify the injustice?
"the crimes we commit because of our ignorance" when you rush into conclusions,label people according to injustified stereotypes,giving them senseless tags..hurting them
"the consequences of our action the we could not foresee" this is like..lets say you hold-up a grocery store..but what you dont know is that this man you're pointing the gun at,doesnt have another way of living..that what little he earns everyday goes to provide for his children..but thats just an example
the point is,sometimes the most trivial thing can hurt a person deeply..you can never forsee the consequences of what you did,and when you do,its already too late


i used to take analytical literature classes in the past...hope this helped biggrin

Here are some random thoughts of mine about this:
Makes me think of one-sided righteousness. Also makes me think of "Man is his fear." People have always been quick to condemn what they deem as wrong, yet in their quest to cleanse the world of that "evil" they become that which they fear. However, eliminating such an opponent has multiple consequences. There is no pure cause or effect, everything is connected. It is these echoes that contort people from intent to action. So it's not the "evil" that imprisons people, they create it for themselves as well as others. The nature of the universe transcends many human notions and thoughts, including that which we call "evil" or what we fear. Persecution is prejudice and hatred put into action, and I find it astounding how easily forget what truly made the "creature" they were hunting evil, is also the same beast that only needs the right conditions to emerge. It almost seems like the feelings that drive such righteous people are contagious. It's the same with positive feelings but it makes me wonder whether people are more inclined to incubate those emotions of ignorance and such or positive ones. I think this relates with the debate on whether humans are inherently evil or inherently good. Is man the cage that holds a beast or is it the other way around? The environment in which we are raised is one of the important hands that shapes our existence, yet do "the crimes we commit because of are ignorance" stem from what we simply are from birth? Ignorant?
I think it's interesting how this all relates to the world's cultures and religions. How faith carries many meanings in the mouths of those who wish to persecute and those who wish to free others. Many essentially culture and religion are the tools and material used to craft the people that practice them. Like "God." You know, people always say that you can never understand or know the true nature of "God" yet they use words like 'judgement', 'power', 'faith' and 'holy' as the bars that put the concept of God into an easily understandable power. When other's concept of religions fails to meet those bars they become evil (I'm sure this is also true for other religions, though I think Buddhism is a suitable exception, I don't mean to diss religion or anything, I just mean to say that people manipulate for their own means, it seems to me that most religions are relatively pure of evil intention) it's acceptable to become "the hero hunting the evil creature" when this perception is like being stranded in a room with only one window to peer out of, the rest of the world is just blank white walls. The consequences to actions caused by ignorant fear and hatred is complex, such that even the inklings of shame "the hero" might feel are the tears that "the creature" sheds: they fall silent and unnoticed, and as she hides, fear blankets them like sleep until they seem unimportant.

Haha I went off topic. Sorry. But this is my understanding... more or less laugh

Maybe Claymore and Code Geass? They have a few characters kind of like that. And it looks like you've already perused Death Note. But yes, you don't have to read the above, though I'm a bit pleased with it biggrin

Vampire Juuji Kai has that theme, and is a pretty good manga, too.

EDIT: Whoops, looks like you've already read it. Never mind then.
