New Project

Oregairu was the first series to make me write on every episode, but it might not be the last. Darling in the Franxx is proving to be a smash hit, and one of the most brazen things I've seen - in an era ruled by spiritual version of Marx in general, and the notion that gender is an act of the will in particular, a work of art hammering home the importance of being an embodied man and woman together feels like a groundshattering earthquake. It's making me hungry to dig in, and it's so well done - the use of parallels, time, color, and motion in the frame all serving the story of two people encountering one another. 

Evangelion used the apocalypse as a stage to understand the search for human connection. Franxx uses the apocalypse to as a stage to understand the love of male and female together. Nothing could be more appropriate.
