AG: People always try to downplay the story in Metal Gear Solid games. There's always a lot of hand-waving, a lot of 'yeah, it's bananas but...' that seems superficially like cultural cringe. Like the anime Shiki, which -- if you haven't watched it -- will seem like utter trash for the first three episodes until it becomes something awesome. And so you cringe as you recommend it, praying they make it past the Love Hina-esque bullshit and through to the good stuff lest they think you're one of those anime fans.
