Never seen it. Never seen anything related to Hannibal, actually. Would you recommend it?

Well, seeing that you mentiomed that serial killers intrigue you in the introduce your firebot self thread, yeah. Its one of my favorite shows out there.

Its horribly graphic though, so you need a slightly tough belly.

I'm not typically interested enough in fictional serial killers to seek out shows/movies about them. But if you recommend it, I'll give it a shot. :) Is it on Netflix?

Gory stuff doesn't really bother me lol. You constantly see that shit when you learn about serial killers.

Yup, its on netflix. And thats good, Ive seen my fair share myself.

I personally find cannibals interesting, the likes of this dude for instance.

Oh, I've seen this! Yeah, I know him. Crazy to think he's still out there today. He pretty much became a celebrity for his crime. He travels around and tells his story a lot.

If hes able to keep himself in check, its not strange that hes out (imo). But yeah, he did. Then again, cannibals, or psychos in general, usually become well known cuz people are interested in understanding how they work! The stranger cannibal case out tjere is definitely this guy tho. The guy himself isnt the weird part imo, its the victim. Like who actually voluntares to be eaten!?

It just doesn't feel right. I think it's a shame that he never really got any justice. I can't help but wonder how the victim's family feel. I feel bad for them.

I've heard of this guy, too! Idk what was going through the victim's head. We don't really know much about him. Maybe he had emotional problems?

Perhaps. Here in Norway, the maximum punishment is 21 years in prison, and the idea is to rehabilitate our inmates to avoid repetitve crime. Im not sure how we handle psychos tho. Generally speaking tho, if they end up useful to society we give them another chance. It will hurt for the victim's family, but i do believe in redemption as well.

He must've had. Or some insane vore fetish, like Armin himself. Which still constitutes as emotional issues, i suppose.

Ah, so I guess it's just a case of different values between us. The the US is pretty notorious for treating it's prisoners like shit. I believe in redemption as well, for the most part. If it's obvious someone can't be redeemed though, I say lock them up forever. Perhaps Issei will never reoffend, but I'm still kinda iffy on his lack of punishment.

Fuck, typos. I meant to say "Then again, the US is pretty notorious for treating it's prisoners like shit."
