something something puss trying to outrun the literal personification of death for the whole movie whilst perrito walks around always wearing the sock his family literally tried to drown him in as a sweater, something something accepting that life is short and literally growing into your own mortality and making the most out of the hand youve been dealt

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!
Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*
Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

i just finished watching scavenger's reign yesterday, and let me tell y'all this is genuinely the best piece of sci-fi media i have seen in a long while, and it's insane how little i've seen this show being discussed online! it is probably the most unique and viscerally stunning series i’ve ever seen. the world that they have created is equal parts fascinating and terrifying, and every part of it feels fully realized. sci-fi is at its best when it lets go of nostalgia and explores the unknown, and SR gives me hope that real sci-fi can take root again, and be something beyond what came before it.
i will refrain from giving too much away in my discussion because this show works best the less you know going into it. the premise for this show is simple: crewmembers of a crashed freighter ship are left scattered across an alien planet. a good chunk of time has already passed by the time the show begins, and a few of the survivors have already established camps. however, things quickly spiral out of control as disaster wipes away their progress and forces each of them to move on. it's a harsh and unforgiving world that tests them each and every step of the way on their journey.
worldbuilding is where this show truly shines. it is no easy thing to design an entire ecosystem from scratch. it takes an insane amount of creativity and attention to detail to pull off what this show has. and my god did they fucking pull it off. living balloons floating through the air, large sea creatures that suck up their eggs when faced with danger, tendrilled plants that spawn clones of their prey to track them down - it is a frightening, surreal, and violent world, but harmonious in its own way. some creatures poison you, others clean off the poison. there are your typical type of predators that come at you with sharp fangs and giant pincers, but then there are predators that hunt via more insidious means: manipulating the memories of their prey to have them do their bidding, or hijacking their bodies from the inside. ultimately, the characters who fare best in this world are those who learn to adapt to it, and even sync with it.
SR also boasts a surprisingly well-crafted narrative. we are shown just enough of the world to keep us hooked, but it still feels like there is a lot left to be discovered. i also really enjoy the way the story is delivered to us. we follow the journeys of a few isolated groups whose paths gradually intersect. the characters are all fleshed out and three-dimensional - they were different enough to be unique and quirky, but never too different that it felt overboard. the way they react is exactly how humans in those circumstances would and should, the dialogue and voice acting were just superb. it felt so insanely real at times.
i really do hope that this show gets greenlit for a second season. this type of pure creative freedom is what we need right now. all in all, scavenger's reign is a gorgeous nightmare that you need to experience for yourself.

animated movies i think everyone should watch at least once in their life
1) into/ across the spiderverse
so beautiful. amazing story, full of emotion and color. very cool mixed animation style, combining 2D and 3D. insane use of color theory, and full of detail and depth. 11/10.
(netflix)
2) isle of dogs
another beautiful movie, obvs because it’s wes anderson. stop-motion. very emotional and funny at the same time. i legit cried.
(disney plus)
3) coraline
amazing movie. absolutely chilling. the mix of analog horror and horrific implications are amazing. another stopmotion.
(amazon prime, but i think you have to rent it)
4) puss in boots: the last wish
listen. you don’t have to watch any other puss in boots movies to like this one. you don’t even need to like puss in boots. another 2D and 3D animation mix, and it’s gorgeous. hilarious, and very, very good depictions of a lot of things (no spoilers). plenty of adult jokes packed in, too.
(netflix)
5) the house
honestly horrifying. three different storylines. very unclear ending and uncomfy all the way through. absolutely recommend, especially if you like don’t hug me, i’m scared. implications and deeper meaning in everything.
(netflix)
6) the how to train your dragon franchise
some of my favorite movies of all time, and my intro to fandom culture lol. gorgeous, hilarious, emotionally charged. look at that background art.
(peacock)
feel free to add on!

When I started watching Bubble, I assumed Hibiki was just very autistic-coded because that’s all it ever is, coding, it’s never explicit—BUT NOPE HE STRAIGHT UP IS AUTISTIC, IT’S A MAJOR PART OF HIS STORYLINE, HE’S LITERALLY AUTISTIC.
Hibiki isn’t just presumed to be autistic by the cast because he’s somehow mystically aware of supernatural things, he is able to perceive supernatural things because he is autistic. The diagnosis came first. It’s not a case where it’s actually some superpower, where he’s actually the chosen one, he’s autistic and that means he’s hypervigilant and has auditory sensitivity and that makes him pick up on things that others don’t. He’s not neurodivergent-coded because he’s actually “special,” he’s genuinely special because he’s actually neurodivergent.
The leading female character, Uta, is autistic-coded but not explicitly such because of plot reasons. She’s mostly nonverbal for the majority of the film, when she does speak it’s with a very flat verbal affect. She absorbs information and gets really into math once it’s introduced to her. She has a special interest in The Little Mermaid, and also in spirals and how they relate to gravity and the cycle of expansion and compression throughout the universe. The only thing that makes her being autistic less explicit than Hibiki is that you don’t see her get a diagnosis (and she won’t because that would be a weird way to derail the story).
Bubble will make you cry—it’s based on The Little Mermaid, the original, which should make it clear that the title of the film has a distinct double-meaning in the context of the story—but I’ve never seen neurodivergence on display so clearly, so respectfully, and so naturally in an anime before, and I recommend it with every fiber of my being.
