Tonight I really just needed something that I could watch that would make me feel good. Something weird and fantastic, possibly even insane... and I found it in the works of Tatsuyuki Tanaka.
First, I watched this really awesome little short film collection called Digital Juice, it was really weird and hard to describe... half the time I didn't know what was going on. I give it a 7.5 out of 10 for being good but not super great or anything.
Then, I watched Eternal Family, it sounds kind of normal but read this synopsis I stole from Anime News Network and you'll see that it is not: It started as a sociological experiment. 6 different people were brainwashed to think that they were a family and then put in arbitrary situations to see how they would react. However, when a taping of the families conducts is sold in a desperate attempt to make a little capital it instantly becomes a success. Now the family is a first rated show and their every move is broadcasted around the world without them knowing it. But when a clogged toilet sets off a chain of events that ultimately frees the family from the room they are confined in the broadcasters, not willing to lose their source of income, set out to hunt down and recapture every member of the Eternal family.
Gets an 8.5 for being pretty fucking awesome.
Oh yeah, I've also started re-watching Paranoia Agent. I feel better now.
I Didn't Dream It. The Smell of Oil Pastel is Still Fresh.
About Me
- Necrophiczombie
- I'm Bryce. I am now twenty, and still exactly the same. I am actually a character from a Charles Bukowski novel made flesh by the mysterious power of E.E. Cummings poetry and filterless Lucky Strikes. My body is a filthy place, full of rotting flesh, half digested meats, and the acrid smells of tobacco and tar. My brain is dying from drug addiction. I sometimes lose all my motor skills and bladder functionality. I'm a bitter, misogynistic old man, and I've never felt better in my life.
