I am a creature that parades what it lacks.

final bit im copy pasting from my throwaway tweet but its missing a little pizzaz. a little artistic liberty. I love an anime that takes its source material and runs with it. d*n d*n d*n and the summer that hikaru died are fantastic examples of this. ddd sells you the silly nature of everything going on with over the top squash n stretch animation and crazy color and style changes. Meanwhile the sound design for hikaru is such a good translation from the manga having an emphasis on onomatopoeia, plus the artifacting on some of the spirits ooohh my god. so fucking cool. theres so much room to do weird crazy visuals with 3D animation and I with they'd capitalize on it more. i see it theyre so close to doing it like with caiman's remembering scene but aAAUAGHH. at least caiman has the best voice actor ever.

ok. go my gushers.
