I love how many anime recommendations begin with “It’s really hard to get through the first episodes/season/series, but it really picks up about 140 hours in!”
Guys. You can learn a new language in the time it takes to get to the “good parts.” You can learn to draw. You can take a hike every day for a week. You can write a short story. You can call someone and have a conversation. You can make a paper-mache volcano for your nephew’s science project. You can take a box of food and socks to your local food bank.
Let’s stop grinding slop for desperate distraction from the anxiety in our heads.
Yeah but that’s what I’m saying, I dislike the generic aesthetic enough that it takes away most of the enjoyment. If I was neutral on that it’d be no big deal, but the story is only part of visual media
@glimse@msage Hey, I don’t wanna spoil it to you, but know that the show’s events make the visuals change and mix together with a veeeery different style. It’s honestly one of the most aesthetically unique animes I’ve watched, you’ll know what I mean if you watch at least one ep
Go in blind, push through the first movie. It is worth it.

It’s 4 hours total, so you could not pick worse time to write all that.
The entire show is very purposeful, and it reveals the meanings slowly. That’s why you need to push through the first hour.
I almost gave up, many of my friends gave up, but those who gave it a serious try, were rewarded.
I went from ‘wtf is this shit’ to my absolute most favourite piece of media ever.

It’s weird. It gets even weirder. But it’s purposeful, and it grows on you.

Yeah, also, it’s my favourite anime ever.
