What's the image? It looks like Rahxephon but isn't. Is it the show that inspired Rahxephon?
This was the other movie playing where I saw The Boy and the Heron and I considered going to see it right after! I decided to make the long walk to a barcade instead, which has horrendously packed. Shoulda seen the movie Jerry.
I love Gremlins! I even had the GBA game, Stripe vs. Gizmo. If I remember correctly, child me stole it from a Rite Aid. Ended up being one of the better licensed games I played!
The Bloke and the Heron was alright innit? I watched it subbed. Kinda feel like rewatching it dubbed! Maybe I'd be able to wrap my head around it a little better this time around.
Yeah, I did a bit of stealing as a kid (up until the age of about 10). I'm not proud of it, but I'm not ashamed of it, either! I've made peace with it, so I just look back and reminisce sometimes. I don't know, I was just a dumb kid in the habit of taking what he could / wanted from stores, I guess. GBA games were especially easy, since I could just open the box and put the cartridge in my pocket.
I would like to see Heron again at some point and unpack a little more, yeah. It was a complex film and also I was a couple beers and tequilas deep by the endThe Bloke and the Heron was alright innit? I watched it subbed. Kinda feel like rewatching it dubbed!

You indeed should've seen The Holdovers, mate. I think you would've liked it. Pretty sure it'll be on streaming services soon enough!
I went and saw Wonka last night. It was okay. Just okay! Very comfy and uplifting. When I told my mom about it, she said she was glad it had no relation to the weirdo Johnny Depp portrayal.
I haven't heard of Rahxephon so I don't really know but it's from Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz.
Nah it's not gundam I was talking about. Didn't realize they had Gundams with almost the same design as Rahxephon tho.I haven't heard of Rahxephon so I don't really know but it's from Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz.
Gundam inspired a ton of other shows... like, inspired a wholeass genre, so maybe?
I work at an elementary school and you just made me feel old as shit with this post. We do that every year!
RahXephon is pretty solid! Feels like it was made for people who wanted Evangelion to be more generally comprehensible.I haven't heard of Rahxephon so I don't really know but it's from Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz.

Where's the fun in that..?
I agree, but it ends up working pretty well on its own merits.
ah yay, that's so cute! i'm glad they're still doing that!
I’m glad someone else named this one — it always makes me cry.
high five
I know this is off topic, but I find this really funny because depending on the person what show is more unhinged completely changes. I've seen so many answers saying that Rahxephon is like Eva if "Anno didn't go crazy", usually followed by some insults towards that series, while I've seen other people say stuff akin to Rahxephon is like if Eva was completely nonsensical. It's funny because I sort of see both sides of it, since Rahxephon's base appeal is undoubtedly less depressive and more relatable for the average self-insert main character, but I actually think the story and influences behind it are even weirder. Like, the story legit just makes no sense to the point where its better to just enjoy it on a purely metaphorical and thematic level.
I think the dramatic beats in RahXephon are far more classical, while Evangelion is often tragic and deeply unfair toward its characters and eschews the traditional ideas of character payoff. That is also part of what’s special about it, of course.
Unimpeachable classic!
