Oshii was so good at these type of sequences that somewhere along the way he decided his films should be nothing but them.

He's always being pretty weird though, at the same time as he was doing stuff like Urusai Yatsura and Patlabor he directed Angel's Egg, which is probably one of the most impenetrably surreal films I've ever seen.

Butt Frosted Cake posted:I didn't find Angel's Egg that impeterable as long as your atleast somewhat familiar with Noah's Ark. A guy wandering around carrying a cross is pretty easy to figure out, as well as the egg being a metaphor for Oshii's personal faith (if you break the egg to find out whats inside you ruin it). And the common reading for fish symbolism seemed to fit, dreaming dissolution and death. I don't know that's like 80% of the Oshii impentrable bullshit in the movie. Yeah, I didn't mean to suggest that it was literally impenetrable (I got some of that and and I'm rubbish at that sort of thing) it just that I can't really think of another film that goes so all in on the symbolism that it barely even has a conventional narrative, the closest I think of is Eraserhead and maybe Cronenberg's Naked Lunch.

Episode 0 was super boring and nothing but 'oh hey, remember how much you liked those old characters who aren't in this show?' So I don't hold out much hope for the rest to be honest.
