Sentimental with sprinkles of dry humor throughout. It's kind of fun to see old, washed up men hang onto their favorite game until the very end. I should have picked up a coffee before my screening since I was dozed off at some parts. Still very charming though, might be better if I was more fully awake.

Princess Mononoke 1997

Ritual is definitely a Hideaki Anno work. It has all his hallmark styles, from the trains to the composition and music. I feel like all his works are deeply personal because they all revolve around the same central themes, which makes sense because he has a history of clinical depression. And he really is a master at depicting loneliness, depression, alienation, trauma, and suicide. I love how this film depicts escapism as a cycle, or ritual, more like. It's strange, sometimes aimless, but there's so much heart poured into this film.
