Yeah it's a shame I couldn't get you to turn into a pony :p

But that's fine. Now I have all the time to convince you to turn into a Sonic character. Or an anime girl!

PUT ON THE DOGGY EARS, DIZ! NO SNOUT, NO PAWS, JUST BAU BAU >:D

Very glad to have watched this- I've always wanted to get to know more of Satoshi Kon's work, and I look forward to seeing/watching more in the future.

Turns out that by not watching the whole series, and not being old enough to understand the world and people yet, I missed out on the theming of said people unable to face up the problems in their lives, using the hysteria around Lil' Slugger to free them from their worries. But only temporarily.

Despite not fully grasping what was going on with the story, I could grasp the emotional context enough to get the gist of it- people getting stressed out and reaching the end of their rope, until this mysterious kid comes swooping by, smacks them, and suddenly they're not so worried anymore.

Fuck yeah, that's fantastic to hear!

Me when I accidentally overshoot on the musume and end up much more an uma.

(but not quite)
