gonna watch an anime called “un-go” because a friend said i'd probably vibe with it and it has music by narasaki and also i swear it came up when talking to other friends last month, high hopes

HERE WE GO

literally less than 5 minutes in and this has ghost-in-the-shell level political density that's making it hard to follow ahahah

“kaishou-kaichou” lmao

holy shit the way the detective is introduced this is gonna be peak. i gotta clip this later

oh my god the constant titles appearing that explain who someone is (their name and position and affiliated organisation) are used for almost a form of dramatic irony this is incredible

this is so… ace attorney. in the strangest ways

thsi fuckign gremli n of a character

what an incredibly strong first episode???? i'm going to love this series

true to my word, here's how the detective duo is introduced in the first episode of “un-go”

ok episode 2 let's go

btw the title of this series, “un-go” [sic], is something like the japanese equivalent of naming a detective series “homes” [sic]

or rather “doil” [sic]. very explicit homage

this computer is adorable look at that “cover flow” imitation but with blank cds

*does this to u*

certain things in un-go episode 2 almost presage the most infamous internet-related EU legislation of the current era. hell, i might have to turn one of them into a GIF at some point, it's so incredibly on-the-nose

episode 3 let's go

this series, un-go, is genuinely incredible, i wish i had a familiarity with the original works of ango that are being adapted, but i wonder if it's making everything some future sci-fi dystopia to invoke the same otherworldly-future feel that the meiji era might have had, hmm

what the hell were they on when they came up with this series

it… really is a lot like ace attorney? while also being nothing like ace attorney. it goes hard in different ways. i'm getting the sense that both of these works have common inspirations i'm unfamiliar with

one more for today, episode 4

already with the first episode of this series i've been thinking, wow, this feels like one of those series where they know they're getting tragically little time (11 episodes) and so they decide to go extra hard on what is, nonetheless, a detective series. it's unusually cool

i feel cursed by the constant desire to make comparisons. if i make enough of them you'll feel like you already know what this thing is. i don't want you to know that, i want you to watch it. anyway, i'm once again going to say “ghost in the shell”

holy fucking shit the scene with the doll in the car

what. whaaat

gods the political commentary in each episode is so frighteningly contemporarily relevant

i don't want to spoil things so i won't, but episode 4 is yet another example, i'm gonna end up fucking quoting it at my friends when talking about… a certain topic lmao

episode 5 let's go

LOOKING FOR KOTOBA KOETE
OCHITEIKU HANE NO YOU NI
LOOKING FOR MITSUKETE
KOKO DE YORISOU YOU NI

starting to think any series which has the verb 探してる somewhere in the opening or ending is peak

episode 6 time!

i am in love with this series

time for episode 7

this show loves unexpected cliffhangers

i Just About have enough time to watch episode 8 rn lets go

i've decided that magical depictions of technology and hacking are cooler than realistic ones, nerd me was wrong

@hikari why not both

(i only dislike the middle ground)
