tryhard homosexual shit that people will call kino because of their rose tinted nostalgia goggles. 35 year old
boomers stayed up late and watched it as a kid
44 year old gen x and I remember watching this as a teen, but could never figure out when it came on. I'd just turn on MTV late at night and hope I got lucky
Unironically one of the kinoest experiences in history. I rewatched 2 years ago and was impressed how good it was, only had seen a loose episode here and there when younger
One of the last major demonstrations of the wretchedly hideous ugliness of western art, especially when it tries to depict sexy ladies, BDSM, or anything erotic/naughty. Fortunately, around the late 1990s people finally started to get the picture that anime is three orders of magnitude at sexy/cute, because the art style is just inherently better for coomer purposes.
DO NOT reply to this post with "well it was Peter CHUNG did you ever think about that huh" He intentionally adopted an ugly (read: Western) expressionistic style which is clearly at variance with the above, along with other nasty/gross fetish art from the 80s and 90s which made its way online.
They understood that the show was vaguely sci-fi and that the story had a little potential, but also that they needed a conventionally attractive lead to make up for how unbelievably god-damn butt-ugly the cartoon is.
the shorts that have no dialogue are fantastic. incredible visual storytelling.
the full length episodes with voice acting are okay. most are good to great with 2 of them being downright bad. something in general gets a little lost with all the dialogue and need to stretch these stories into 22 minutes. like everything peter chung has done, he is at his best when he has smaller runtimes. further evidence being his commercials, they are really good and short
its good, don't listen to what haters say, they are dumb and stupid.
Its not a 10/10, or a masterclass in anything but it manages to be unique, and decently executed all the way
an esl brownperson is given a large budget and tries to rip off anime in a time period when most people didnt know what anime wwas while his handlers pretend its original content.
kino
erections
back when artists still dared to be original
Confusing western anime substitute
It's watchable tho
fact: anime is only good when trying to appeal to the west or adapting western mythos
bingo
The shorts are better than the full episodes.
>trap fly with your eyelashes
>it immediately goes berserk and repeatedly bangs directly into your eyeball
watch the MTV Liquid Television shorts before you dive into the show.
The dude who made this also made rugrats, although I think that was a humiliation ritual
Peter Chung?
>humiliation ritual
Is it loss?
Pure unadulterated kino

Watch Reign: the Conqueror in Spanish on mushrooms instead
this sucks
peter chung only did the art on that mess of a story and plot and characters and gayness
OOOOOOOOOOOOH THE CHOSEN ONE

A weird time. Most of it seemed like a fever dream when I was kid watching it.

there's not a better example of a movie failing to capture the source material

The 2000s were a mistake

I like the deeper worldbuilding and mellow vibes of the full length episodes. The shorts are just flashy eyecandy.
It delves into a lot of esoteric knowledge
Banging soundtrack, especially in the "Gravity" short and the end credits of S3
sounds like something out of deus ex, very bumpin
The shorts first made me interested in film making as an art. How come there are no words but I still "get" the story?
Make sure you watch them in order. The dvd has them out of order.

Absolute kino
Mogs every shitty tranime i got tricked into watching
Are there any other movies/tv shows like the war one that kept switched perspectives to the killer of the last protagonist?
It's not exactly similar but the Pusher trilogy kind of does this, the third movie is from the perspective of the antagonist from the first 2 movies.
Linklater's waking life is the best I got
