Anime angst

[froggy_dear]

So, among the random few cable channels that we do get is AZN - The Network for Asian Americans. It's more interesting than the Golf Channel and tonight they had an anime movie on AZN - The Adolesence of Utena. I had mixed reactions to Akira mostly because I was confused and it didn't make sense to me. This Utena movie leaves that confusion in the dust. WHAT THE FUCK? I can't even begin to describe the things that confused me. Totally could not follow it, and when I thought I could.... there was a giant CARWASH. Fuck. Maybe it's cultural. Maybe I would get it if I were raised in Japanese culture.

But maybe not.
