    “It helped me realize what is important” is as real as it gets.

    One cannot know what one cannot see, and most do not see until it’s too late

    After, you swear to never remove your glasses.

    Always good to be reminded of humankind’s past atrocities. I forgot this was based on a real story until the end and I snapped out of an audience stupor upon the reminder.

    As Noah once said, "Felt like a dream. Probably because I was falling asleep. I am sleepy." I watched at night, in six sittings, because I too was sleepy.

    Pretty fucked but certainly interesting. Not at all a lighthearted watch. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also, watched it with my dad, that was fun. He doesn’t watch anime at all so this was an interesting one.

    I watched this per Ryan’s suggestion for our upcoming project and the two are ironically similar - impressively so. No matter, I’m excited to get going on our own psychological fuckery project
