I also did not realize just how sync his style is with the sort of thing Sporn did in The Hunting of the Snark. I did not realize how much like Bambi this is, either, and much less clinical than that is.

I'm eager to continue my slow Sunday journey through Sporn's major work in the coming weeks.

CITY's transitions are getting better and better.

This is definitely not clinical or anything of that sort (which I've come to realize is a key reason I ended up sliding off of Don Hertzfeldt), but regardless, I still just can't get inside of it, as much as I'd like to be able to.

The show feels a piece with Patlabor and Kino’s Journey in terms of what I get out of it, even if I don’t think it’s as “great” as either. Chasing down the full implications of that conclusion is probably going to take me a long time, but I’m happy to be able to now get started on that.

I got interested in the show because of what I had heard about Chisato, and she fulfilled my expectations completely. I found her to be really resonant and entertaining.

I liked Yuri!!! On ICE and Free! well enough, but this is my favourite sports anime I’ve seen in my life so far. I’m very glad I finally got around to watching it.

The dragon of those 5 & 2/3rds (Unicorn warrants a fraction) cartoons is a dragon I suspect I will long be chasing, and I wish more of the shorts matched up to their standard.

I ended up recalibrating my own standards a couple of times during my UPA watchthrough, and this is where I ended up with them.
