#neither of those movies are a fun time but i wasn't trying to be morbid for morbid's sake with examples

I saw an amaguuji comic where kiyo says his favorite movie is human centipede and it got me thinking on what types of movies he'd watch... I don't think he'd be big into horror movies, I think he would be more into documentaries like ilha das flores (documentary about the trash system in brazil), alphaville o outro lado do muro (documentary about a luxury condo in Brazil and how everyone living there is shitty and racist), Bicho de sete cabeças (movie about psychatric hospitals based on real facts)

(all of these are brazillian bc these where the first ones that popped up in my mind and no more than that)

i know EXACTLY which comic you're talking about. the song as well, it is never not stuck in my head for too long. that being said while i don't think kiyo would particularly like human centipede, the song DOES fit him.

i think kiyo would not be much into horror for horror's sake? like i imagine he would like a lot of more supernatural-themed jhorror since it often has an inspiration in folklore, as long as it didn't try to claim itself as factual. he probably couldn't see the reason behind a slasher or a zombie movie though and least of all shock horror like human centipede. i  don’t think he is bothered by gore but he also doesn't seek it out in his everyday life, not even make-believe gore.

i think he would love docus as well! he brings some really heavy sorrowful stuff to a movie night because it's a conversation starter and is surprised the mood is dead by the end of it. not to say he wouldn't like most kinds of documentaries probably, but keeping his sense for the macabre in mind, he would be onto some dear zachary/the bridge kind of thing. i think he would enjoy seeing documentaries as a very dubious genre, an effort to make unbiased narratives that will inevitably claim the creator's agenda.
