Can you try not<\/em> failing once in a while, Kyoto Animiation<\/span>?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh come on, KyoAni! \u00a0AIC pulled it off a lot better with Asu no Yoichi<\/em>!<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

DESHO?!?!<\/p>\n

If you’re going to get all stereotypical on us (like you always do), KyoAni, then you might as well make it good (or at least better than an anime that I ultimately gave a 6\/10 to).<\/p>\n

Nagisa’s death was an awesome-ly done “oh shit, an important characeter dies” scene. \u00a0Kyon liking ponytails was an incredible [twist on the] “confession” scene. \u00a0Mio’s terror at seeing Mugi’s eyebrows<\/span> Mugi in costume is a… normal scene? \u00a0Damn it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rice is synonymous with Jesus Juice.<\/p>\n

The egg on the right symbolizes fertility, the chopsticks and the lone chopstick holder are collectively a phallic symbol, and the fish in the background is another phallic symbol, “disappearing” behind the bowl of “rice” and thus, from this point of view, “entering” the bowl. \u00a0The bit of white stuff on the right of the fish is symbolic of the bit of “rice” that manages to fall out of the bowl.<\/p>\n

In other news, the shading of the bowl is quite odd.
\nThe shadow that the bowl casts upon the table is almost entirely circular (from an aerial view), suggesting that the light is directly above the bowl. \u00a0Yet the shadow on the bowl curves up at the ends, suggesting that the light that causes the shadow comes from the direction that we are looking in. \u00a0THIS SHOWS THAT I NEED A LIFE<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Ritsu is not amused by this post.<\/p><\/div>\n

Semi-unrelated tl;dr (one-sentence summary): KyoAni tries to please the fanboys, KyoAni gets away with a lot of shitty art and animation, Mio is actually the monster from Slap Up Party<\/em> 05, and I’m going to sleep.<\/p>\n

Freud would love that bowl shot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2zM4X-yr","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2135"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2135\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flomu.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
