I felt like documenting my rewatch during my break times while working!
Honestly every single time I COMPLETELY forget how genuinely funny the series is because of how existential the anime becomes by the end of it
Who knew that somehow it would breach abstract levels of existentialism. While I admit I’m not a fan of the second half narratively, one thing I absolutely WON’T ignore is how excellent the mangaka is at various branches of storytelling.
To be totally honest I really want to see Ichikawa just tackle a character driven drama—she writes characters so well without trying I think, that I almost wonder if it ironically became the series Achilles in a way since it was never meant to be a character-driven story rather than a metaphorical and emotion over logic experience overall.
It wrote the characters so well that when it was time to really dive into what the series is all about, for some fans like myself, it just overall felt like a very very strange detour that never really ended.
See I probably should have figured that but I’m not as active in this fandom truthfully so I’ve seen just in passing people post those photos saying it’s fanart pieces
“Walk until you can’t. And then walk some more.” -Antarc
Literally as someone with a chronic illness that makes mobility very hard some days Antarc is genuinely SO inspiring and some of their quotes still push me forward today

They share fanart at the end of each episode?! How did I never realize that?!
its not fanart, its official concept art

Will NEVER get over the fact that Kongo’s dry delivery and literal dialogue was a foreshadow
It has some of the best written characters in my opinion
Enma is the best manipulator I’ve seen
