I was suprised to see Sunflower (I girasoli) get attention. Even for De Sica’s filmography, it’s obscure. But then, I shouldn’t be surprised by this point, right?

I like how this anime some times just don't throw references, and give sauce.
I'm impressed with the bad taste Chihiro have for man.

What a sad backstory, I feel sorry for the sensei lol. Anyway the visuals in the flashback scenes were beautiful. Also so she had the pill with her huh.

Oshii and co not giving a rats ass about 2021 viewer demographics and throwing ole school cinematic sources and references vintage shoujo style at the viewer.

I love this, but I can definitely see how it's not for everyone.
"Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii

The students probably think the jar of memories was vamprie related, nope just blood of men Chihiro's been.

All the anachronisms for the film references was perfect.

All Chi are the same women to him lol

What a stylisch way to tell a backstory.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

The flashbacks felt a bit stretched out but were definitely funny.

I wonder if the supplement becomes important later on.

As someone who is a fan of Italian Cold War era cinema, this was a pretty cool surprise.

It seems as if the first part of Vlad Love was basically a giant shitpost by Oshii, the second part is just him nerding out over Cinema lol.

Oshii doing another UY-style shaggy dog story while he reminisces over his favorite films from his university days.
