So I finally got around to watching TTGL after a fun week of Hige standing over me with his whip ever since I mentioned that I’ve kinda, sorta [totally] been ignoring all of the internet hype about it when it first premiered and therefore, have been living under a rock. So the existence of this entry is due in large part to his aggressive pimping enthusiastic encouragement to give TTGL a try.
All fun poking at Hige aside, I’m glad I didn’t miss out on this series. Funny, fantastical, all the right proportions of giddy excitement for epic adventures and deep empathy for the depiction of private and universal human struggles, TTGL is a Win.
Pale Cocoon is a one-shot OVA by Yasuhiro Yoshiura. In a futuristic dystopia of rusted cubicles, disintegrating archives, and weary bodies filing along the darkened corridor of a factory warehouse, we are presented with the silhouette of a bleak reality that isn’t too hard to imagine for ourselves as a real possible future. Ura, our protagonist, is a diligent archaeologist of sorts within the “Archive Excavation Department”.
Prompt: Why do you watch anime? What do you get out of it? Think about this prompt in terms of escapism. What is it that you are escaping from? How does anime offer you an escape from your reality? Talk about the way in which anime distorts reality by offering up fan services of all types, fuzzy feelings, and happy endings. What is the appeal of anime? How do you balance reality with the unrealistic nature of anime? Does this make you feel like a coward for not being able to cope with reality? Or do you think it’s a healthy refuge from the stress and hard realities of daily life?
Participants: Hinano, elezend, animemiz, soshi, myu, blissmo, shizukie, choux, a day without me, usagijen, gia, kaeboo, and dick
