I think vice versa was written and directed by a mastermind because there's no other show(specially in gmm) I've seen that has put so much thoughts, elements and details behind their every farme, action, dialogue etc like the way this show did. When I started the show and it's doing so well I often question myself 'how is this new show out of nowhere with these new actors doing everything right so far' like this! was! so! new! We were so used to overlook silly goofy things in shows we didn't expect that the genre is capable of producing this much yk perfection. Every episode KNEW what they were doing, there was a beginning and an ending. No unnecessary cliffhangers, no unnecessary drama, no unnecessary anything really. Even ep 11 I think it was probably the best ep 11 in a show. They didn't put drama just to put drama. It always felt like the people working behind the show loved it so much so wholeheartedly. This show is so carefully, patiently crafted by love. Vice Versa is INCREDIBLE
ANON SAID IN THIS ESSAY I WILL AND BY GOD IN THIS ESSAY YOU DID!!!!!!! CATCH ME IN THE STREETS HANDING OUT INFORMATIVE PAMPHLETS WITH THIS MESSAGE ON THE FRONT PAGE LIKE EXCUSE ME SIR(gn) DO YOU HAVE A MOMENT TO TALK ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR VICE VERSA
and i agree with all of this but what stood out to me the most is how you said that the show was a labour of love because YEAH. THAT'S IT. like i fully believe there was mental illness in the air when they made this show but it's obvious that there was SO MUCH LOVE too!!!!! and i think that's one of the things that makes vice versa so unique to me and that captivates me so much about it, the fact that you can tell that everyone involved just put their everything into it. the amount of thought and care that went into it, not only from the above the line crew (the director, the actors, the writers) but from the below the line as well (the art director, the costume designer, the cinematographer, etc.), is honestly unparalleled: no other show is such a treasure trove of parallels details reminders symbolism
it's also so refreshing!!!!! like you said there's no unnecessary drama because everything is functional to puen and talay's journey, and even when there's a misunderstanding between the two of them it doesn't get dragged for too long. there's no episode of doom because episode 11 actually ends with the characters getting reunited instead of having them break up: the separation that happens is due to external circumstances and puen and talay never stop looking for each other. last but not least all the tropes that are used aren't gratuitous but once again they serve a purpose and tell us something about the characters or the story
ANYWAY THE POINT IS!!!!!! despite my personal bias im objective enough to know that vice versa isn't perfect BUT EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE SHOW PUT THEIR LOVE INTO IT AND THE RESULT IS STILL PRETTY FUCKING AMAZING

thinking about how the Houses have no cultural memory of Earth. that the only glimpses of humanity that survived are out of context fragments that make up the names of stateless refugees. that John bulldozed the whole of human history and civilization and rebuilt it as a patchwork of highbrow cultural sources and memes, but at the same time locked away every reference to the mundane everyday bustle of humanity. kept it to himself because he’s the only one who remembers it... but then dusts off a dead language nobody in his Empire ever heard of to rename his daughter... what I’m saying is that @nikkicafeina you’re right. John would want Gideon to watch Sailor Moon
