Radio Spiricom posted:eva, utena, monogatari, any of masaaki yuasa's shows i wanna specifically point to yuasa's show Kaiba where there couldn't be a larger and more disarming gap between the whimsical, childish character & set design (explicit homage to tezuka) and the devastating seriousness of what takes place, where often what literally appears on screen seems so sanitized and cartoonish it feels euphemistic

thinking about EE... i've never been able to articulate this very well, but on top of being an amazing and harsh indictment of anime as vapid escapism, endless eight always sort of felt, to me, like a really affecting illustration of the insane cosmic miracle of chance. phiz anime thread guru Two Worlds made a good post about EE and quantum theory once that i totally can't seem to find right now, but maybe i can give an example that'll make sense- my single favorite moment in the entire arc is when kyon shakes out the bug box and one of the twigs lodges inside it. it's a completely banal non-event that would normally barely even be a blip on the radar, but when you see it as one possible variation from an infinite number (or 15532, close enough to make the point) of possibilities, it's something small and very, very precious. when i first saw it it was incredibly poignant to me in a way i still have trouble putting into words. like this feels pretty insipid as i'm fumblingly typing it out, but it seems to express the idea that everything down to the smallest event is miraculously plucked from an endless field of possible events and holds incredible value. definitely thematically related to kyon having to choose the reality that means more to him by virtue of having shaped and touched his experience. like he expresses to haruhi in melancholy 6, they can't treat this choice as arbitrary- the reality that holds meaning for them is the one with the friends they've known and cared about
