OMG Attack on Titan. So glad now that I didn’t cave and start reading the manga, or I might have missed the gut-punch of those last three episodes.
I’m doing a little rethinking of things, including this blog space.

i have already watched this
three times this morning. it’s exquisite and, in light of the recent extinction headlines, full of a kind of pre-grief. perhaps this is also the kind of morning you’re having. h/t to warren ellis’ newsletter.

evangelion
Cautiously pleased that I’ll be able to rewatch Evangelion on Netflix. I’ve been meaning to for a while, I’m curious to see how its influence on me has played out (I first saw it sometime in the late 90s, I think? When it aired on PBS in San Francisco) … But please, please can we not redo it, or extend it, or revise it, or live-action it, or anything else? The series was so good, both as a story and an artwork, a kind of commentary on its own creation, which is also one way of looking at the story’s themes. It’s interesting times we live in where we can access more content than ever, we live in a perpetual tidal wave of story, yet we keep reaching again and again for a few old familiars. Watch new things. Read new things.
… and tell me where I can finish Ergo Proxy now that it got snatched from Crunchyroll. 😉
