Viewing Notes

really no proper way to describe this. it’s Hideaki Anno doing his thing. as it starts i was like, “sure, it’s fine” but it progressively gets more crazy and i was loving it by the end. 

It’s so very Japanese and yet still a universal truth for anyone that’s rode a packed commuter train. Neat that legend voice actor Kiyoshi Kobayashi does the voice narration and journeyman character actor Yoji Tanaka has a small part.

Great that stuff like this is getting shared via Archive.org.
