The Too-Perfect Saint: Is Ngayon Anime's Latest Release Too Good to Be True?
Let's be real, we all love a good, wholesome anime. But sometimes, a character can be so pure, so perfect, that they start to feel a little…fake. This is where the new anime Ngayon comes in.
Introducing the Saint Who's Too Saintly
The story revolves around Anya, a young woman who's literally a saint. She's got all the powers, all the grace, and a heart of gold that would make even Mother Teresa jealous. She's kind, compassionate, and always puts others before herself. But, here's the catch, Anya's perfection starts to feel…unrealistic.
The Problem with Perfect
As much as we want to believe in the power of goodness, there's something off about a character who never struggles. We all have flaws, we all make mistakes. It's what makes us human. Anya, on the other hand, is always on point. She's never tired, never angry, and never loses her cool. It's like she's been designed in a lab, not born of flesh and blood.
This makes Anya hard to connect with. We root for her, sure, but we can't truly relate to her. She's an ideal, a fantasy, not a real person. And that's where Ngayon falls short.
Where's the Humanity?
The show's creators clearly intended to create a story about a saint who embodies all that is good. But in their attempt to achieve perfection, they've lost sight of the very thing that makes saints inspiring - their humanity.
Think about it: Even the most famous saints had their own struggles, their own flaws. It's through these struggles that they ultimately found their path to sainthood.
Ngayon misses this critical element. The show would benefit from giving Anya some flaws, some vulnerabilities. Make her struggle, make her doubt, make her human. Only then will she truly feel relatable and inspire us to be better ourselves.
The Bottom Line
Ngayon is a beautiful anime, but it suffers from a fatal flaw - its protagonist. Anya, the perfect saint, is too perfect. She's a beautiful ideal, but lacks the human touch that would make her truly compelling. Let's hope the creators realize this and give Anya some much-needed flaws in the future.
