It was studio Gainax's breakthrough film, although it totally bombed in the box office, losing well over half of its budget. The only reason the studio survived was because critics basically wet their pants from the visuals. It was the most expensive animated movie produced in Japan at the time of its release too!
Hi again, your reply is so kind and resourceful 😭❤️ it's genuinely professor-level advice, you seem very smart. Thank you because the research so far has been so confusing to me. Being my first thesis, I've been finding it difficult to untangle the random ideas I get or the bulk of information I find, to connect the dots in order to turn them into a coherent lecture, and your comment helpfully visualizes how you can adventure yourself through this kind of endeavour. Luckily I'm still in the early development of it all.
Godspeed!
Hello, I found your profile becuase I stumbled upon your Heisei Internet Anxiety stack. I was captivated by the list you made because it's pretty much the exact subject I'm doing research on for a thesis. It's a subject that I had a clear idea of in my mind, but I didn't know there was a name for it. Searching "Heisei Internet Anxiety" on google only gives me your stack and a letterboxd list made by a user who doesn't seem to be you.
I really want to learn more about Heisei Internet Anxiety, but I don't know where to go from here. Where did you hear of it? Did you invent the term yourself? Are there books/articles about it? Did you compile the list just based on firsthand knowledge or have you informed yourself through outside sources? I am dying to know more. Thank you so much ☆
You have Apocalypse Now, Paths of Glory, Network, A Clockwork Orange and much more in ur extended list holy damn
I am adding all of the movies I haven't seen to my "watch later" list now

I’m not watching garbage and I read the manga
It gets worse from the point it drops off
If this ends with a shitty cliffhanger then I’m giving this a 1
