#it's kind of funny to watch anything with mr. hassei after being introduced to him through ryuki

you finished ketai sosakan 7!

thoughts?

But, in more seriousness...

I loved it! The eldritch machine horror, the looming question of humanity's capacity to engage with intelligent life beyond ourselves, the precious and adorable little cellphones! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

I was pleasantly surprised by how much the show made me care about Takimoto through Seven! Mr. Haunting the Narrative...Mr. Literal Ghost in the Machine...

The more episodic episodes were (as usual with longer series) a little hit or miss? The show does drama a bit better than comedy generally, and the characters that are mainly in the comedic segments do suffer a bit from that, but that's not the end of the world to me. When the show gets it right, it gets it right. It's a lot like Robot Detective K in that respect.

I wonder if it would do well in a shorter form animated series, like Kikaider. I feel like it's so intensely 2008 that you couldn't do it now though.
