Maybe it doesn't reach the indie heights of Éric Rohmer or Jim Jarmusch or John Cage, but this is the anime equivalent of their movies or Cage's 4'33, a sort of game of chicken played with their audience. I'm also amazed by the quality of the animation. Should people be devoting so much good animation on something that will not appeal to ... |
