>>2772This show, man… I haven't finished it either, I'm on episode 32 at the moment, but boy is it aiming up to be an experience. I don't get most of what's going on to be honest, but it's very unique and weird in an interesting way where you can tell there is a lick of sense under the surface if you dig deep enough.
The duel songs especially, a write-up on the series stated that these songs made it stand out from the other anime at the time, yet even in this age I haven't seen anything quite like it. By themselves they're fine compositions, the inclusion of the lyrics, however distracting it may be to read the two sets of subtitles, definitely accentuates that hidden deeper meaning and makes you just want to go on ohtori.nu's lyric comparisons and get lost in trying to make sense of platonism and geometry or something.
Even with knowing some ending spoilers it's hard to predict what will happen next. A notebook I keep for trying to speculate on that has mostly been filled with some remarks and analysis on the episodes, not that's it's a bad thing, but my only real theory at the moment is that
the outro bird is Akio.Anyway, amazing show. I like what I've seen so far and I'll probably check out the other RGU material and other shoujo in general to see the inspiration and evolution. I'll have to see the full thing to make up my mind on the characters and everything else, so far they're all very interesting, but Juri is pretty cool. Honestly all the girls are, for now the only guy in the folder on my mobile is Chu Chu.
