Anime Symbolism





This piece is a picture from the anime Tokyo Ghoul, in which the story consists of two different species (Human and Ghoul) has been fighting over each other for a while, and the main character, originally a human, becomes half Ghoul through a accident.  This picture represents the two worlds in which it symbolizes the same but different backgrounds.  He is residing on the ghoul side(grey) but his reflection represents his human side still remaining.  The chair in itself is a big contributor to the story since it's the point where he accepts that he is both a human and accepts his ghoul side too (through extensive torture).  I like this picture because it's very simple but through context it tells so many things.
