There's something more to this that I can't really grasp...

Oh it's graspable, but it's not an in-your-face kind of show. Bet you didn't notice the girls were watching them from their dorm room windows. Or that Yayaka is watching the girls get sucked into the Pure Illusion even more in the background

Oh and it wasn't just the clock that had trouble counting to 12. This show is so fucking good I love every little detail in it.

Episode 6 may be the best episode in the entire series

Cocona in school/at home vs. in the Pure Illusion (and really both characters' frequent shifts) has a nice subtle contrasting effect.
a lotta "morphing" now that i think about it

It was the first show that really drove me to want to be active here. I saw it on a whim, saw the thread and with only the first episode out I started talking about everything and picking things apart and finding little details, trolling through places like Japanese Twitter and Japanese boards looking for information or other ideas and it really made the show light up for me. I fell in love with it and it became my favorite show of the year. I have very fond memories of watching it with a friend who was as impressed as I and with you guys here.

Not many shows make me seek out supplemental material either.

Good morning Cocona. What's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?

What's the deal with Japanese nude communal bathing and reciprocal backwashing ?
It's been so long I've been afraid to ask.

It was really touching. He told me after he watched it with me, he went home and watched the entire series with his 12 year old sister.

It really was a wonderful show to experience alongside /a/. The threads were so much fun to be in each week.
It's not too often we get a show that bring everyone together like that, there's maybe only a few each year, Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou being the last one I can think of.
COCONA!

This show doesn't make much sense even without the use of degenerate substances. A lot of stuff just kind of goes nowhere, like the twins and their younger sister or whatever it was. Also weird stuff that never really gets addressed, like how the paprika goes from being the mother's best friend forever to being in a gay relationship with her daughter. And how come she didn't age? Is she immortal now?
>>830105
I find this kind of horror incredibly unnerving and this episode creeped me the hell out.

The show had a lot of good butts.

I miss those threads. It put 3Hz on the map for most us I'd say. Hopefully they can stick around for a while, I like how they draw eyes.

There's always someone that hasn't watched a show, doesn't hurt to be considerate of anons that see the thread and decide to look it up/push it ahead in their backlog.

Even though it flopped, it also flipped and flapped .

It was fun but I can understand why it flopped. The ideas and worlds were nice but they didn't do much with them. Maybe the show should have been longer.

I think the first episode, the one with the alice in wonderland and (though more different in overall atmosphere) the one in the girl academy all had a really interesting adventuring feel to them and I kind of preferred those parts over the more fight-heavy episodes later on or the psycho drama but it was still nice overall. Honestly wouldn't have minded if the show was tonally almost entirely like those episodes.

I will always adore it as the show where the Gendou expy was not only right, but actually succeeded

Did the blu-ray ever fix the quality? I still have my GJM-DDY releases.

I'd say Darling in the Franxx is the latest one, though it's almost over, so if you missed the threads, then too bad.

From what I remember, the mother used Reality Alteration magic to make her into a baby, so that she would grow up together and protect her daughter.

I guess I forgot about that. I recall that there were a lot of things that were left seemingly unresolved, like the painting club girl and how they just ignored her after mindfucking her once or twice.

This. Salt was the man of the season in an anime about girls. The part where he shot his split personality in the head was superbly badass.

The attention to detail with stuff like that in this anime was incredible. They really but a lot more effort into crafting the look and feel of everything to make the whole world come alive far more than is typical with modern televised anime.

Man but did they ever pile on the imagery and work hard to make the art feel fresh. A lot of the symbolism and whatnot it ended up not meaning much in the end, and a lot of our speculation turned out to be wrong, but it was great to see so much attention to detail, and so much visual creativity being poured out into a modern televised anime. That feels rare in this day and age. Watching it and discussing it with you guys was the best part.
