Prince is also a heavy influence on JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. The writer states that he his is favorite artist and listens to him as he draws.

His quirk must have been “Guitar” because no villain could hear past the sound of how awesome he was playing it.

So, this is a documentary about Prince then?

Yup, it was made before the manga series ended, so it has its own, no less depressing, ending. 

I am not in the least surprised.  Uzumaki is very Colour Out of Space.

The creator has stated his work is inspired by Lovecraft.

Holy crap.  I want to see this.  One of the creepiest works I have ever read.  Always struck me as some that Lovecraft would have liked.

Production IG makes me hope this will be a step up from the Gyo adaptation and Junji Ito Collection

Yeah! Here it is, from 2000.

I remember seeing a movie of this already, right? Live action, pretty good as I recall.

You may get your wish:

I think that’s the point of Mari. She’s the classic giant robo action hero; she’s everything the haters complained that Shinji isn’t. As a result, she has no depth.

“Excusez-moi, Eiffel.”
I fucking loled!

That part in ep. 4 where the newspaper guy kicks the desk? He 4th-wall knocked the camera into Dutch angles!

I nearly abandoned Eva during the first episode because it seemed exactly like what you described. It was the standard cheesy anime tropes with cutsey anime girl Misato, the over dramatic “Get in the robot or we’ll send out that unconscious girl laid out on the stretcher who’s covered in bandages!” spiel, and the…

I actually really like The End of Evangelion as its like watching Anno just yelling FU! to the audience for 90 minutes. Furthermore, its actually quite prescient as anime fans and Otaku that the film expertly critiques has become worse then at Eva’s time.

It makes me wish End of Eva wasn’t released on Netflix at the same time. Maybe release it nine months later or whatever, so the new people can work themselves into a lather over how much they hate the show’s ending, convince themselves that the “true” ending will be satisfying and then watch the implosion.

On one hand it is a brilliant deconstruction of the “Real Robot Genre” of anime most notably Mobile Suit Gundam which is much more popular in Japan then the west. As such a lot of what is interesting in what is says is often lost on some who are not fans of the genre. On the other hand and this is more easily grasped…

Arguably in retrospect Eva’s greatest issue is that it made its mecha exterior too enticing and interesting. Eva, especially by the end, is more of a rumination on depression and human connection that occasionally giant robots are in rather than a giant robot show that has some headier themes. I’d go so far as to…

In my head canon, Pippi grew up and became an air pirate named Dola.
