Here is my favorite analysis of Utena: https://www.yewtu.be/watch?v=7d5uPR2FwLE

nope. only other series I’ve seen are Unicorn and War in the Pocket, and I can’t remember anything about them, but I think fans regard them highly.

I didn’t like much about that series, tbh. the first 10 episodes are spent doing school life shit at the boarding school for rich assholes, and then just when you think you’ve escaped, THEY GO BACK.

in no relation to anything how does “Yikes, my girlfriend is brainwashed and being manipulated, I must cuck her to keep her safe” sound as a plot point?

With IBO, I didn’t actually know this was a seperate universe from the rest of the Gundam Series, I thought Gjallarhorn, Ahab Reactors, and the Calamity War, and Agnika Kaieru were series hallmarks that the normal audience would be well acquainted with, and that’s why there wasn’t a ton of exposition on any of them, and the fact this was all new shit made me realize how seamless the world building was, very well done.

No, it was Episode 24. Actually In Edmonton. The Silent War Episode was cool too.

Such a good series. without becoming another edgelord anime, it did such a great job at depicting life as cheap. I haven’t watched enough gundam to know how different this is, but the fighting was so well done, you could really tell that in all the mobile suit fights that pilots were with full intention trying to kill the pilots of the other suits. The jump cut at the start of that one episode where they’re suddenly in a slow, grinding offensive towards Vancouver Edmonton was a top tier moment, even if it first felt like you accidentally clicked an episode too far in your [Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans 2015 1080p BluRay x264 10bit AAC-Shiniori] folder.

Vlad Love was Mamoru Oshii first return to Anime in about a decade, and he was given almost unprecedented control over the entire production, and it absolutely rocked. If you like Invader Lum, or even if you just like Patlabor, it’s really worth watching. at times, it will be one of the most bizarre shows you’ve ever seen. the Animation feels both super cheap, and somehow still super captivating, lots of water-color backgrounds, I heard it’s completely Hand drawn (except for the live action footage. Yes, it uses live action stock footage, another reason it feels congenially cheap).

Basic synopsis is that a gremlinish lesbian with a blood donation fetish meets a starving vampire girl who refuses to drink from the unwilling, and creates a blood donation club with classmates, who implausibly also have a blood fetish, to keep her satisfied.

Studied Philosophy as a PhD. That’s one of the biggest flaws a human could have.
