No, Chiaki Konaka deserves it more, but I think ABe became the figurehead just because he was the one that spoke about it most.
He also wrote Haibane Renmei so it's not like he's just a trumped up attention stealing character designer, he does have some skill of his own. Even if he does owe a massive debt to Haruki Murakami.

This thread seems like the perfect intersection of /lit/ and /a/ to ask this question:
A while ago I read about a Japanese word meaning something to the extent of "a person who does something which hasn't been done by anyone in history". I find it quite fascinating that such a word exists in Japanese, but not in any other language I'm aware of. Unfortunately I have forgotten the word and I can't seem to formulate a Google search that is short or precise enough to turn up an answer.
Any help would be appreciated as this has been gnawing at my brain for days.

I'm pretty sure Japanese is one of those languages that group in a bunch of other words into one and call it another word. It's the same as with German so you get a lot of that kind of thing.

sometimes

you can add -者 to just about anything to make it a person-pseudonoun, or -人 in other cases or just add "の者" or "の人" after a clause and it becomes a noun-phrase for "one-who-does-whatever" see the last section of http://www.imabi.net/nominalization.htm, similar to -er, -ist, -man.

I couldnt get attached to any of the characters, I dont like the explanation for the halo or wings, they seem like a gimmick and weren't adding depth. I was bored toward the middle and didnt like the pacing, they couldve done so much more with the characters to make me miss them when theyre gone.
I wanted to think it was going to have rewatch value and some kind of deep ending like Lain but was let down

Ted Chiang is the only SF writer that I believe understand technology enough to make parables that could remind you of Lain or Texnolyze. Read Lifecycle of Software Objects to start. Then there's of course ye olde Gibson fetishism in the Sprawl theory - this is perhaps the closest a writer has come to describing the hum of wires, for example.
