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

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

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

honestly kind of in awe at how they managed to tell a complete story in 11 episodes. i do feel like i'd probably like the series even more if it were twice as long, but it's like… not an incomplete work
