So, when I was in my final year of undergrad, I had to take Philosophical Ethics, for it was a university requirement. Our teacher made us read philosophy by Aristotle and then Nietzsche, and would have us write essays to show our understanding. In order to minimize plagiarism, he told us to write about a TV show of our choosing, making the essays unique. When it came to Nietzsche I was a little stuck for some time, and eventually asked the teacher if it was okay to do it based on an anime or tokusatsu. He was somewhat down with anime, so once I explained tokusatsu he said it was okay.
The result is what you will see after the jump; the best non-thesis essay of my college career, rivaled only by my paper on Hawking Radiation for laymen: How Kamen Rider Kabuto, the series, demonstrates themes discussed by Friedrich Niezstche.
