barbecue at the folks
Jul 20, 2007


I saw the thread in the announcement so I decided to tag along at least for a while, I need to spend more time with Japanese media anyway. I love the student council just lounging around all angsty and sniping each other like a bunch of ancien regime aristos. I'm vaguely aware that everything will definitely get a more dark later, so I can appreciate there's already a lot of work being done setting up stuff on a thematic level that will pay off later. I like the surreal touch with the visuals, the shadow plays, and the completely unnecessary but awesome metal mass interludes before fights that help with the transitions. Chu-chu has already had some good visual gags lavished on them—I wonder if the pretty overt similarity to Cheburashka is meant to be a homage? I think I'll keep on watching for at least a while more, I've been hearing a lot about Utena for decades now but never got around to it.
