Darwin Jihen

Darwin Jihen was simultaneously the most interesting anime to follow from its season but also one of the silliest for me, which is why I was somewhat engaged with it at the beginning, but lost interest and got bored by it as it went on. The premise is definitely weird but for the same reason interesting, as it could potentially elevate to topics regarding science, ethics and philosophy. Instead, it chooses to focus on sociopolitical aspects and perspectives, mainly vegans versus, well, non-vegans, but also people advocating for animal rights. It could perfectly work with those themes as well, and on paper the discussions provide some food for thought and are interesting to follow. On execution, however, the theme exploration falls flat on its face because of how extreme and over the top it is. The anime pretends to be multi-layered and neutral by presenting different perspectives, and to its credit it does have some neutral people, vegans or not, but it mostly relies on crazy characters and monologues to present its points. The bullies at school playing the victim and blaming Charlie in front of everyone, that one kid that became a murderer, the antagonists who are either cold as robots or complete madmen, especially the main villain who seems more insane the more he talks. Besides Charlie’s foster parents who are normal vegans, and the congresswoman who wants to use him for the sake of animal rights, everyone else makes it hard to take the themes seriously with how crazy they talk, sound, and look. Theme exploration aside, the writing can also be very questionable, mainly due to the either crazy or illogical reactions of the characters, or lack thereof, to everything that happens, and by that I don’t mean just the crazy facial expressions and yelling that I already mentioned. Charlie is a sentient non-human living organism, it’s crazy to think that there wouldn’t be laws regarding his existence, that he wouldn’t have any lawyers, that he wouldn’t have the mass media all over him, that his house would be left alone by the police after the attacks it suffered, that his parents would be so dumb to keep living in there. More instances can be seen in the backstory, such as kids being left completely alone and unattended by a pool, where a tragedy could happen, and in fact, it almost did. Part of the premise is hard to accept in general because what do you mean terrorists for veganism and animal rights? Did something remotely similar ever happen and I’m just clueless about it? It feels like a bad attempt at criticizing progressive ideas and activism. And also, at some point the villain is searched internationally, how can he go around so freely and where does he get his resources from? Without spoiling, the final twist was somewhat anticipated if one considers a certain information from the early episodes, but kind of makes no sense when you think about it. Why did the villain organization search so crazily for Charlie then? And the character himself seems so petty. Want to talk about characterization? Everybody that is an antagonist or against Charlie is or seems to be out of their minds, and most people from the side of Charlie are passive to everything. The protagonist himself, although he is more proactive, sees everything from a logical standpoint to the point he seems to be unaffected by anything, and even when is affected by something, he remains almost expressionless in both his face and voice. He does show emotion sometimes but it’s mostly thanks to the directing and sound design than the character himself. In action scenes he is always at advantage, since he combines intellect and strength of both human and chimpanzees, and he even powers up near the end of the season. Since there wouldn’t be a point in using Charlie for explanations and discussing perspectives, the series smartly introduces Lucy, a seemingly normal girl that enters his and his parents' lives, and is occasionally attacked by the villains. She is there to help, question everything, be in need of rescue so Charlie has an excuse to go into action and look badass, and eventually become the love interest. Oh yes, the anime starts to become that kind of story, and you may already know how I feel about interspecies relationships. The issue with this girl is, why the hell would the rest tell her everything, in the case of the support cast, or leave her be, in the case of the antagonists? To have someone in series to excuse the exposition, that’s why. The only character that somewhat changes is a police officer that’s initially an antagonist and later becomes an ally, but even then he only changes perspectives, no personality. Visually the anime is fine to good. The artwork and backgrounds are mostly solid, though sometimes they look plain. The lighting and shading are well done and the anime knows how to display scenes in darker sceneries and times of the day. The problem is that sometimes it uses questionable CGI for smokes and vehicles. The character designs are kind of unique, they combine a semi realistic look and kind of crazy expressions, with vibes that make them seem like they came out of Banana Fish. And also, well, in what other series will you see a human/chimpanzee hybrid? The actual animation is a bit whatever a lot of the time but fine in the action scenes, although those don’t really last long, as the protagonist is clearly stronger than everyone else. Also, shot out to Ilutv for appearing in here. As for the audio, the sound effects are good, the voice acting is ok, even though the villains sound crazy and Charlie sounds monotonous, and the music is fine, it has that needed thrilling vibe, but it can get a bit repetitive and used in a bit of unfitting ways for the scenes that are playing. The opening and ending are strangely upbeat in a way that doesn't fit the anime. The former is a funky jpop song, and the latter is a slow, soft spoken almost to the point of being whispered pop song with some parts of rap in I don’t know what language in it. Although the anime has some, in my opinion, bad light moments, it’s mostly thriller or sociopolitical drama, what are these songs doing in it? Their lyrics are also romantic and that creeps me out, should have seen the romantic element coming I guess. Like I said in the beginning, the anime is interesting in themes and ideas, but the execution and presentation of them leave a lot to be desired, and the characterization doesn’t help the series either. One to check out for its weird premise and ambitious topics or to see what madness is going to happen next, but not much else. There’s nothing quite like it, that’s for sure, but even then I would pick up other series about terrorism, and perhaps Parasyte for part of its themes instead.

The people who don't recommend it definitely didn't finish it. It has both extremes, but because of the premise, it looks biased. I like Lucy and Charlie's relationship. I love Charlie's parents, especially his mom! I really like how Charlie's feelings worked as a human chimp hybrid. Some aspects were predictable but all and all this is a pretty original anime with a unique concept. Flaws for the characters? no all the characters are pretty good but maybe some background but well prolly get that in season 2. The ending was good, and was not expected! - I like how steryotypical (but true) American this is sometimes. Can't wait for season 2!

The Darwin Incident seems like a prototype for a better version of itself. This is an ambitious series built around heavy real-world themes, but it has uneven execution. It won't work for everyone due to having a very different style compared to most anime. It has strong ideas with less focus on presentation, so viewers who prioritize animation quality, voice acting, or atmosphere may find it lacking. There is character development and psychology exploration, along with limited worldbuilding. There are action scenes, though most of the show is tense instead of fast-paced. The plot's purpose is to provide a vehicle for the themes to be conveyed. One common criticism is the portrayal of its themes. While some viewers may find the delivery too emotionally intense or see it as propaganda, it presents multiple perspectives on its social and political ideas. It doesn't take a side, instead showing how going too far in a single ideology direction causes problems in real-world situations. It portrays ideology conflict, discrimination, justice system limitations, animal rights, terrorism, and the consequences of extremism. It covers several themes, though it doesn't go into considerable depth for any of them. Another common criticism is the character design. Some might call the artstyle and character design "ugly", though the non-flashy pseudo-realistic visuals fit the tense themes the show covers. The characters are grounded instead of exaggerated character archetypes. The animation gets stiff and choppy at times, though it remains mostly stable. While the sub is consistent, the dub's voice acting quality varies across scenes and episodes. Personally, I found the show interesting, and it had character interaction moments that were quite funny. It's also set in an unusual location: the United States, which allows it to explore topics that aren't typically covered in anime. I think the execution would have been better if it included philosophical and science exploration instead of sticking to concepts only. However, I definitely had a fun time watching it despite its flaws. The final episode leaves the story open for continuation, though it doesn't fully resolve the existing plot points covered. Viewers looking for a comfort watch, power fantasy, or consistent presentation may not find this as engaging. I recommend The Darwin Incident for viewers looking for an anime covering social, political or ideology themes.

At first glance it may look like a vegan vs non vegan propaganda to you and it's true though. Author deliberately portrayed vegans as a villain with twisted philosophies . He justified non vegans and claimed them as a victim of struggle between vegans and animal rights . Another thing he portrayed about vegan is barbaric nature like they can go to any extend to prove their point even if it means to kill someone. But we have to look other things too besides propaganda darwin incident provides some crime drama stuff between terrorists and government. Terrorists using vegan philosophies as a shield , a mean to resort violence to fulfill hidden motives . Animation is smooth , no cgi , decent bgm ed op etc . Really enjoyed some important moments in story and the ending has a insane plot twist . Definately will look for another season .

I wonder if it was wasted potential? Probably. I never considered the possibility that someone would think anime was a good place to address a very complicated issue in real life: veganism. I wonder if the author used his own work to protest against those who consume any kind of food of animal origin... Is he one of them??? And how did the publisher look at this and approve it, thinking it was a brilliant idea??? Did they want to take a risk to see the result??? In short... I was quite disappointed with what was shown in the anime because I expected more. The prejudice people have against the MC for being a hybrid of two species is somewhat understandable, but the other issue involved is what ruined the story. If it were something like a group or organization wanting to "possess" the MC for in-depth studies for something even greater (for example, he has intelligence far superior to that of a human and certainly to that of a common chimpanzee, great physical strength from the animal side and the gift of speech from the human side), how to extract "something" from him to perhaps make human beings also have the same characteristics as him without being a hybrid and maintaining the "human" form, and because of this, later in the story there would be a kind of disaster with some "modified beings" rebelling against humanity and using their abilities to create a new "order" since they are above normal human capacity, or some other issue that fit well with the presented proposal, but unfortunately this is what was delivered... Lamentable. NOTE: I have nothing against vegans, as long as they don't impose their customs on other people and respect the differences in eating habits that each person has chosen to adopt for themselves. I've never seen a person who is solely carnivorous (difficult but possible) or omnivorous (myself, for example, and I believe a good portion of people) bother a vegan for not eating meat; at most, they might make a joke like, "You don't know what you're missing," but still respecting the other person's choice.

Even though at some points the story is interesting most of it is very boring. The clash of ideas presented in this series is done poorly though, very basic arguments on the topics it tries to explore. The main problem is that it tries to present some of the arguments in its discussion as if they were some mind-blowing ideas while they're actually the type of thoughts you'd hear in a Reddit, Facebook or X (twitter) discussion. Then, as many modern media, it tries to put emphasis in the dumbest problems as if they were big issues (like men should pee sitting) lol. Sometimes it feels like a parody instead of something serious. I have more to say, but this is enough.

After watching the trailer on YouTube, I was quite intrigued by the story, and became further engaged while watching each episode. I love the media references pertaining to American culture, the authors have everything written just about right. The plot was something very unique and interesting, it digs deeper into questioning human's moral compass and the injustices in this world. It leaves many of us to reflect on human nature. As someone who's not vegan, this show has given me some time to see my own biases especially with the normalization of animal abuse. The part that got me really emotional was hearing about Charlie's mother and her story, unfortunately this reflects the lives of so many animals, like chimpanzees who are removed from their homes and used as experiments their whole lives. The show isn't afraid to talk about social and political issues, and I love how bold it is. As the series progresses, I would love to see more character development from Charlie, as he connects more with his human emotions. As for Lucy, I am waiting for her to develop as her own character and have her own independence rather than just being reduced to another "female sidekick". I love Rivera's character, as a black person that watches anime, I think it's cool to see a black villain finally showcased on scene. Rivera is unpredictable, and extremely cunning as an antagonist. So far into 2026, this anime has left a really good impression on me. I hope it gets better!

So I watched The Darwin Incident, and it's worth watching, though it unfortunately ends in a terrible cliffhanger. Since no second season has been announced, the manga is for the impatient. It touches on the subject of consumerism and whether it's possible to be against it without being labeled a terrorist (it's impossible), but I was intrigued by another aspect. "Darwin" is another series about whether something or someone non-human can be better than it. The creator quickly breaks out of this tired rut. Charlie doesn't want to change, fight, or please people. He doesn't identify with them. He understands he's different and feels good about it, but as a character, it makes him quite boring. It's cool that he's cool and "logical"; it works well with him, but everything interesting happens alongside it. And sure, that makes sense too (focusing on the story and the message, in which the characters are carriers of different ideas and attitudes), but I felt the chemistry between the characters was lacking.

More than an anime, it seems like a social experiment. Many of the criticisms I see about Darwin Jihen are that it's too pretentious and that it's pro-vegan propaganda. I understand both points, but I don't agree with them. The pretentiousness of the story is there, we can't deny it. Especially when Barack Obama intervenes. Many complaints focus on the fact that the pro-vegan dialogues aren't refuted by characters within the series. I can understand the discomfort that generates. The issue I see is that the anime doesn't try to give you a counterargument, but rather that you generate your own. Since you see that the anime has radicalized ideals, you understand that neither side will have an answer that fits our reality. Because everything is based on the premise of the existence of something we don't have: the figure of the Humance. When internal debates take place, the series clearly has the arguments it wants to put on the table. In this case, it's up to me, as a viewer, to weigh the pros and cons. It's an exercise in debate and dialectics that can help us all. I agree that anime has very extreme ideas at certain points, thanks to the radicalization of those ideas, and therefore it's up to us to provide the counterarguments. We're not just watching anime; we're having a debate with the original creator. The pro-veganism propaganda isn't really as aggressive as many claim. I mean, at most, the anime tells you that everyone has the right to choose their way of life. Which I agree with. If someone wants to be vegan to harm animals less, well, it's their life; they know what they're doing. The anime doesn't even absolve vegans of guilt, since it acknowledges that the vegan industry also kills many insects and other types of wildlife. It's not as if they're good just for being vegan, but rather that their argument is "of two evils, the lesser." Of course, the anime encourages you to try veganism with a very well-crafted speech by Bert, where he tells us that change begins with taking the first step. I return to the same point as before: anime doesn't aim to provide answers through its characters, but rather to encourage you to formulate your own. If you don't want to be vegan, then instead of calling the anime "vegan propaganda," it's better to present arguments for why that lifestyle isn't good for you. Darwin Jihen is an anime that could have taken the easy route, making Charlie the central figure of the story, with everything revolving around him as he dished out blows left and right. However, instead of being a central figure, he's more of an axis, as the entire world revolves around an imaginary character and society's potential reactions to him. For this reason, there's also a strong message about discrimination, racism, and gun control. Therefore, I think it's appropriate that the story is set in the USA. Let's be honest, if you're told a story about discrimination, racism, and shootings, it's almost impossible not to associate it with this country. Is the Western representation inadequate? I don't think our attention should be focused on that, instead of the social commentary it presents. Darwin Jihen might be a rather striking niche anime. It's one of those anime that sparks discussions with friends or strangers online about the points it raises. That said, it's niche because not everyone will take the time to bring arguments to the table for debate.

Planet of the Apes Origins, but in anime... well, not quite, but I have no doubt it's headed that way and will eventually end up being a Planet of the Apes, haha. Joking aside, it's similar to other franchises. They present us with a half-human, half-ape hybrid with a comprehension capacity far superior to that of humanity. This hybrid is superior in every aspect: more intelligent, morally superior, stronger, and more agile. And to top it all off, there's a faction of super-radical vegetarian terrorists who are taking advantage of this hybrid's popularity to supposedly "liberate the animals," BUT it's obvious that this is just an excuse and they have a more tyrannical objective (in my opinion, they want to establish the superior species and seek the reproduction of the "Humance" and the enslavement of humanity, or at least I think that's the terrorists' goal...). But enough with the theories, let's get to the point: do I recommend it or not? Well, yes, I do recommend it. It's a story that, beyond the action, tries to make you reflect on your morals, ethics, customs, and lifestyles. The downside is that they do it from extremely extreme perspectives, and to a certain extent, they portray eating meat as "wrong" (I'm a carnivore at heart, "there's no meat healthier than pork"). BUT, in a few episodes, they also try to show you that the problem isn't what you eat or don't eat; the important thing is the respect you have for other customs. The interesting thing is that our protagonist isn't on any side; he acts based on what's most efficient or what his morally superior instinct dictates, not on feelings. His interaction with other humans is more that of a superior being who sees us as insignificant than as an equal. He doesn't condemn us, nor does he have an inflated ego, but he knows that we are no match for him, even though we are indispensable. And that... it still has a lot to tell, it's not a perfect story and if you want to reflect on your morals, it's not a bad anime... although it is still science fiction and takes some points of view to extremes, making them unrealistic.

I came here because this anime was somewhat hyped and honestly seemed curious enough to make me watch it. The concept was interesting. The premise was good. But the excecution... Darwin Jihen is an anime with a really American style, both for the good and the bad. I have to give it a point that if it wasn't because of the japanese audio, I would've thought I was watching an american series. They really made good use of their typical style that fits the series too well considering where is everything happening. I liked that. It was an interesting experience But for the bad, I felt it like that certain group of american products who focuses more in giving you a morale than telling a good story. Darwin Jihen has an interesting premise, some interesting concepts and situations. But then in the excecution most of it gets ruined by how unnatural or even unnecesary the situations are, just to expose you the different perspectives or because it would make sound to show an scene that controversial (if you watched it you know which scene I am talking about) I get it. I get how they are portraying that a certain difference in lifestyle is just that. That won't make you a better or worse person and neither are you a monster or a saint for behaving that way. I get it. But I believe there are better ways to expose this message so viewers wouldn't feel like they are being lectured. To make it feel more natural and less of a typical school exposition. Sometimes is good, casual, natural. As it should be. But most of the time I felt like I was in class because the series feels the need to present all the controversial topics they could, no matter how small or big they are. To put the nail in the coffin. The plot twist in the end, which I am not going to explore since I don't feel the need of doing that is... Silly. Honestly, silly and unnecesary. That plot twist made my vision about this work for worse. Before that it was an interesting work who lacked a better exposition, but even so did a decent job to make me be able to watch it to the end. But after it I could just ask "why". It's not that the plot twist makes the previous experience really worse. It's just that. It's so unnecessary and in a certain way silly that I just felt like they pulled the cheapest trick they could to continue the plot. If the premise looks interesting to you, give it a chance. At the end it was a curious experience. Yet in my case an experience I wouldn't recommend.

genuinely awful plot progression, it tries to take itself seriously but it just pushes ideals about being anti-human and the resolutions make no sense. Sh*t is just happening just to happen, it feels like it should be a parody, but its just not and it sucks. I also couldn't have been more bored with decisions made in the show, because when they do just throw random stuff to progress the plot, its not even that interesting nor does it ever go anywhere. Not a singular character in this show ever tries to use more than one brain cell and nor does any law enforcement 0/10

Darwin Jihen is an anime about a human-chimpanzee hybrid, who is facing several challenges because of his understanding of the world, living with humans all around him and an animal rights terror organisation, who is trying to use him for their own purposes. What I'll say in the beginning here is that the show is gradually getting better, not great, but better. I will split this review into 2 parts: the first couple episodes and later ones --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The premise of the show was really fascinating and sparked my interest. However, the first look into the series isn't good. The story picks up introducing the characters and not even half an episode in the viewer gets bombarded with a political narrative of being vegan. And now don't get me wrong, I don't find anything wrong with talking about the topic and discussing it in the show. It would actually be entertaining to see which (from the writers perspective) a human-chimpanzee would take in this situation. Sadly the whole cast seems straight out of a vegan bootcamp, people from the 1800s or just people who seemingly don't even want to partake in the discussion. It is waaaaay too over the top. The anger seems forced and just put there because they needed someone to crash out over vegans. Also people change their mind in this anime way too suddenly and quick, i.e. Lucy becoming a vegan. This all amounts to an unbelievable scenario, where a whole town of lunatics crashes out over a bunch of vegan lunatics. This is just bad writing and let's me think the whole thing was partly sponsored by liberals. (Also it was just too much talking about such an irrelevant topic considering the whole situation. I was so annoyed during these first couple of episodes, I almost dropped it right in the middle of ep 3) While speaking of characters the main cast is to discuss. Charlie is so boring that the whole focus shifts on his relationship with Lucy. The main protagonist has no opinion on anything ("I'm fine", "I don't care" "I'm just an animal"), sure it should portray a normal "dude" with too much attention, he doesn't want to have, but come on... a little personality didn't kill anyone. Lucy is a bit more interesting but seems like she's just here so the main has a purpose. She befriends him almost instantly, no questions asked. Later, she gives a reason, which doesn't make sense, but I won't include this here because of spoilers. Like all the other characters in this show she is very one dimensional. She portrays a young naive girl, who is interested in the world and helping our main cast and that's about it (seems like the usual copy-paste moral compass for the viewer) What I mean by moral compass is that all characters in this show tell you what to think. This is more apparent in the earlier episodes than later. You have the adoptive parents, who are vegans and are discussing their worldview with everyone they encounter (really obnoxious btw). The discussions seem grounded and neutral at first glance but when you listen closely there is the ever so slight "You should believe me, my worldview is the right one, even though I'm not saying it." This makes it harder to really find interest and intellect in these characters. This also slips through to the viewer. In these episodes you really have the feeling that you are being missionized into veganism and flowerpower. I almost felt the sun shining out my butt. The story doesn't evolve into a moral question whether to accept a hybrid like charlie but rather shows the selfishness of people and how they are using everyone to their own advantage. And that isn't a dilemma, being debated by the viewer. You are given a side being depicted extreme and unbelievable stupid (enemies of charlie or the ALA) and one side, the good side, which is given every moral highground the writer could think of. The one side is throwing stones and plotting crimes and the others are just normal people, who "want" charlie to live free. The viewer doesn't have the freedom to choose a side because it was picked already by horrible writing. To clean this up a bit in 2 sentences: The characters in this anime are plain, one dimensional and written in a way which either makes them monsters or saints. This creates a theme in the show where you simply have to trust charlie and his supporters because of the moral wrongdoings of one side and the heroesque acts of the other. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The later episodes got better. Side characters getting more attention and the story making meaningful progress. The antagonists are quite interesting, but still one dimensional and plain. The depictions of manipulation and reaching their goal without thinking about the casualties are well written for the most part and Feyerabends personality was quite intriguing. The introduction of those antagonists were helping the story a lot. It brought tension to a boring story and a dilemma for the characters to solve. Still the problem concerning the moral compass persists throughout. Charlie is still plain but begins to act on his own (sadly yet again because of Lucy) Overall the story was progressing and the concept of the state and politics were introduced. I can't say more because of spoilers but the story got interesting and I am hoping for a season 2 non the less, if they hold back with the hippie bullshit. Some final thoughts regarding animation, etc. Animation: fine, nothing extraordinary. Backgrounds are shitty, character designs could be better, but I saw worse. Music: The OP and ED are nice, I quite liked them. Music throughout the show was forgettable. Plus points for OP and ED Overall not bad, not great. Story could be interesting if they keep it up in a potential 2nd season.

Entertaining with a lot of good ideas. Most Characters are annoying and flat, dialogues are like a comment section on twitter and hard to take seriously but also hillarious and complete brainrot. Charlie as the main character is better than anyone else arround him but also kinda weak and often emotionless while the uninterersting and annoying characters spew nonsense all the time about veganism or something, idk its quite forgetable and flat. The whole plot with the terrroristic ALA is better and especially the unpredictable and brutal ALA Leader Rivera Feyerabend is quite entertaining when he appears alone or against Charly. Altough i had my problems with Darwin Jihen i would recommend everyone to atleast watch the first episodes and decide for themselves. Darwin Jihen is not supposed to be really deep or complex and more like cheap entartaining with a few interesting plot twists here and there, and for that its completly fine.

As weird as it can sometimes be, The Darwin Incident is an interesting modern seinen that explores the life of a creature that is not human nor animal and how the author expects our society to act around it. The drama is interesting, but don't expect the philosophical debates of the show to be complex or have too much debt. It's a simple show that some people will like and some won't, but I stand among those that enjoyed most of it. The main characters, Charlie and Lucy, are interesting to follow. It's nice to see how Lucy rubs off on him and slowly helps him touch his more human side and deal with his emotions as he grows older. Charlie's family are also fun characters that both have different opinions regarding the same ideology, and it was fun seeing them talk about it with Lucy. That's not to say the series isn't without flaws, Charlie can sometimes feel repetitive in his behavior, while Lucy also doesn't get a lot of chance to be developed. Additionally, while sometimes the drama and the mysteries flow naturally, at others it feels like characters conveniently remember or know certain facts to help progress the plot that I don't think would be believable for a normal person to know or remember. The animation isn't too good or too bad. It's decent, and the visuals of the show are nice as well. The backgrounds and colors give that vibe of american anime while the designs of the characters themselves remind us of old seinen manga. The anime also adds episode warnings to two episodes that require it, and that's a point in my book. If the anime handled the shocking content appropriately, well, that's another story. I'm not American, so I don't feel I can comment on it properly, but I think the worst part of the scene is how the villains are portrayed. Ah, yeah, the villains. While they normally work in anime, they are more similar to shounen bad guys in my opinion. Well, Rivera is. While the other ALA members seem serious and want to follow their ideals closely, Rivera has insane bouts of laughter, creates silly nicknames for people and constantly acts like life is a game. It's fun to hate these types of villains, but I feel he does ruin the otherwise serious tone the anime could have, especially in the shocking episodes. This anime is not perfect, but it was fun, and has some interesting story beats and characters. Most of it is written well, and some of the dislikes I have are personal. I do recommend giving it a try if you were interested by what I had to say.
