DON'T LOOK

True story: when I saw the scene starting at 6:53 I laughed so hard one of my contacts came out.

    I was gonna make fun of 80s anime, but apparently this was done in 2004.
    I like how there's a certain point where having absolutely no money means all the animators just do whatever and it gets slapped together and aired anyway.

    Apparently it's like this all the way through. If I'd known it was actually a masterpiece of hilarity, I wouldn't have let it just get dusty in the old review pile all these years.

    Am I missing some essential contextual clue, or is the scene just an exercise is maximum ridiculosity?

    That's the thing with Melody of Oblivion. It was never entirely clear whether they were just lazy or actually thought they were doing something cool and meaningful.

    I definitely detected no set consensus as to what they were actually doing at all. It's like they were each given a card with a single plot point on it, and did something like that plot point involving agreed upon character designs, and then the director put all those scenes into an order that made sense to him and him alone and called it a wrap.

    George, while there technically is some context you're missing, there is nothing in the episode that will make that actually make sense.

    Guder, how did you possibly avoid mentioning this? Even Bird Island wasn't this fucked.

    I'm pretty sure I talked about it via email way back when I was watching it and desperately trying to convince myself it didn't suck.
