Report ilalochezia's Profile

thanks for the add! it's fantastic to meet another Mayuko fan and someone else who enjoys Niea_7 in general--very rare, indeed! I'm also delighted to see someone else with Boogiepop Phantom in their faves: that's *also* very rare!

Thanks. I've had the GIF up there for a while, just as something to look at. I knew it was from one of the Conan films, though I haven't seen anything from the franchise myself.

oh no then but thanks for offering

where did you watch fog hill ep 1?

Wow, thank you! I'm glad that you liked it!

Hmm, good to know, good to know.

For me I thought a lot of the humor was cringey, and the fact that I couldn't relate to being an otaku/hikki probably contributed to that. So while I do relate somewhat to being afraid to go out and do stuff, it's not to the extreme degree portrayed in the show. My main issue tho, is that I didn't like the fact that Misato showed up on his front door and what seems like codependency that develops between her and the MC. I say seems like because I only know it from reading ahead, as I dropped it early on. Do you feel like those were issues?

Yeah I definitely wouldn't knock your way of looking at it. A lot of it comes down to whether or not you're immersed in its atmosphere. It wasn't enough for me, personally, (perhaps it would've been different if more music was used to pair with the visuals) as I would've liked more happening and more dialogue. Hence the highlight of the movie for me was the dialogue talking about the alternative version of Noah's ark.

Also, what are your thoughts on Welcome to the NHK?

Yeah Utena isn't the easiest thing to watch so 2x speed is not a bad idea. Its structure is what lends it a lot of its thematic significance and at the same time makes it grueling to get through.

It's such a technical, dry exercise in interpreting literary devices, probably the most extreme example of this in the medium. Trying to analyze this show feels like sitting in English class. It is fascinating to try to puzzle it together, and at the same time, it does lead to over analysis. What makes it worthwhile to me is its craziness on top of all of it. But looking back, they could've told these stories in a more straightforward way that would not only be more informative concerning its themes but also more engaging. And to this day I don't think anyone knows for sure what it really means. I had to look stuff up to piece it together and from what I've seen, you kind of need to be in a feminist state of mind to get a lot of it.

Perfect Blue had a direction and point to it, whereas Millennium Actress felt repetitive after a while, so it makes sense that you found the latter boring. I don't think you're missing out on anything.

How are you liking this craziness so far?

Np, cheers!

I like looking at profiles and stuff, especially the more interesting ones. And thanks, I appreciate that!

I've taken the liberty of sending you an FR, hope you don't mind :)

Thanks for dropping by! And yeah, SAC 2nd GIG is honestly incredible.

I really like your profile, it's pretty funny. Your list looks great too. And you're quite the poet :)

Boogiepop is, on paper, right up my alley. I love Ryuutarou Nakamura and I absolutely adore Hiroshi Hamasaki. But for some reason I just couldn't get through episodes without losing my concentration. I don't remember anything about it apart from that Nagi was cool and that black vignette lol.

I should rewatch it and give it a fair shake, or at least read the light novels.

> For me, I feel like I could've rated it literally any score (maybe except 9 and 10 lol)

That's interesting. Currently, when I watch something and I dig it, I at least think "oh it's 6+". But "any score", damn.

I'm curious how you put Boogiepop on your favourites yet you can't rate it?

It's always been one of those anime I've really wanted to like but can't.
