It's easy to get lost in the stunning art by Yoshitaka Amano. Except for the beginning of the film, where red and blue dominate the drawings, the rest of the story is set in a mostly dark and blue world, where shadows prevail and water seems to be everywhere. Truly amazing artwork by Amano.

Angel's Egg is like being unable to leave a dream, a mysterious and captivating world with only a few lines of dialogue. You're a spectator in a world where the only sounds are from the wind, water and machines lost in a loop of actions.
The only people that seem alive prefer to act rather than talk

I went to Lucca Comics and had fun goofing around and looking at stands. The number of people in line for Stranger Things was insane and I saw some clips about Saturday and Sunday being completely full thanks to Tetsuo Hara, Hideo Kojima, and Stranger Things' actours. But it was fun regardless.

This time his target was the Royal Courts of Justice in London, where he depicted a judge hitting a protester with his gavel. This comes after thousands of people got arrested for protesting.

Black Sheep is the first episode, and it has two main themes: the ethical issues of using a person's online data to create an AI copy, and the problems caused by the contrast between social expectations and personal feelings. Both are well explored in a dense episode full of emotions and plot twists

While the story lacks the momentum to elevate it beyond simply “good” due to its development focusing almost entirely on the ending, the worldbuilding is flawless. The cities, technologies, and people feel like a realistic vision of our near future where governments selfishly ignore global issues.

Watanabe tries to tell the story of a group of outcasts—like a suicide squad—who have to save the world. While the main characters' stories are partially explored and they grow as a group throughout the narrative, I felt I couldn't fully empathize with them as they came across as somewhat artificial
