anime

I recently started to get back into watching anime.  I will admit it's hard.  I can't simply be satisfied with magical girl anime anymore.  Maybe because I'm older?  I need a deeper level.

Unfortunately most of the time this is fucking impossible, because Satoshi Kon is dead and most anime that tries to become complicated or interesting just turns into some clusterfuck.

When it's good it's great though.  I always liked animation.

In the last few months I rewatched Revolutionary Girl Utena, and watched two shorter series called Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Princess Tutu.

I didn't really like PMMM.  The story overly complicates itself and I think I could see it being way better in the hands of a different writer and director, which is a tragedy because it has such a good idea going for it.

I have a giant girl boner for RGU shit and always will, lol.

Finally, Princess Tutu is the finest piece of animation I have ever witnessed in my life.  If you have not seen it, do it.  It's only like 22 episodes, I think.  The second season is kind of dark and it's really not what you'd expect from the art style.  Really fantastic stuff.
