OMG. SERIOUSLY! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING ABOUT THIS! In my shame I have an AMV for this show and it never stated what the show was from. The AMV was done so well I started to believe that the animation was made just for the song. Now I can look it up! (I avoided reading your post for spoilers but i’ll be back once i’ve seen it !)

Heh, can’t believe I haven’t commented on this yet.

I loved Pale Cocoon, and was amazed at how it crammed so much and gave so much in such a short space of time. On one level it’s a pretty and chilling piece with gorgeous music but it also highlighted an aspect of human nature that’s both profound and really quite straightforward.

No matter when or where we are, we as humans have to have some reminder of where we came from. It’s an extension of our innate curiosity I guess, but it was quite telling that someone would risk his very life to try to find his own answer to that huge “why?” that hovers above everyone’s heads.

And of course people are, whether we admit it openly or not, interested in other people. Pale Cocoon’s lonely and austere worldview just pulls that more clearly into focus…and does it really beautifully, I might add.

Can’t wait for Eve no Jikan now.

Hmm, does anyone die? Is there any blood?
