The second season is every bit as excellent as the first one. Animation, music, story, style, everything.
It is also even more hard-hitting, and I am still a bit shell-shocked from running through it in three days. This whole thing gave me A Lot of feelings, and all the interspersed fluffyness made the gut-punches hit so much harder.
I do recommend it, but this is not “light entertainment”.
This thing holds up as perfectly on the second run as on the first, and oh boi did I forget how constantly hard-hitting this was.
Hopefully I’ll now manage to ge relatively quickly into S02, finally.
A “reconstruction of the filmed version of a puppet play that was never performed” by the c-atre collective, this open-source play (link below) follows a group of coffee-bots unhappy with their working conditions making their way to the Boss Planet to update the system. It is slightly absurd and utterly delightful, and contains some very good musical numbers.
A (translated) collection of science-fiction short stories, none of which is actively bad, but also none of which really connected with me. I also found them pretty uncomfortable at times.
Nonetheless, if you’re looking for 70s scifi written by a non-american, non-male writer, consider taking a look.
