i wrote some words for the accompanying chapbook which were essentially just a series of gnomic sentences about the sun and clouds and birds and mushrooms
Thousands of repetitive split-second tasks in sequence where three seconds of a break requires you to start over. Look, medical transcriptionists can take three second breaks, and even they often get lots of stress and overworked nerves, also, strains. Sleeping issues, too.
My mom's a medical transciptionist, and I can see the toll it's taking on her.
Normal mode is rather slow. The games have a lot of misleading patterns that will overwhelm people who don't take a closer look at how they work, but really they are quite slow and deliberate.
I liked Haruhi enough to put a coded reference to it in the song titles of my last album and still consider it one of the best anime series I've ever seen.
Anyway, that is how the cultural zeitgeist works. Few things truly stand the test of time.
I find it interesting that two of your apparent favourite anime series revolve around a teenage girl who is unwittingly (functionally speaking) God.
i remember being on TVT in 2009, and no one could shut up about it
then, some time passed
a few years later, there was an IRC conversation where someone expressed the sentiment of barely even remembering that Haruhi was ever a thing
oddly, in the meantime, i went from resenting it being everywhere to gradually learning more about the series and getting the feeling that it might actually be a series with interesting characterization and character development and drama
and maybe i feel a little bad that people seem to have forgotten it and are now all about attack on titan and kill la kill (seriously you people speak so highly of stuff being life-changing then just put stuff down like it never affected your lives) (then again it's not like this doesn't happen to a lot of things in meatspace, from career choices to entire towns...)
so yeah i just added haruhi to my to-watch list on MAL.
...y'know, that list that has like, 72 items now. i haven't sorted them.
You do realize that after a while, you stop finding things to talk about?
There are works that really, deeply affected me, and they still pop in my mind to this day. But I won't talk about it with anybody, because there's nothing left to talk about, so it just occupies a comforting space in my head. And it becomes deeply personal.

Honestly, Haruhi never sounded like my thing. I've been mildly curious about it for its structure and style, but the plot and characters aren't really my bag. I mean, granted, Kill la Kill shouldn't have been my kind of thing, but past the panache and wacky high-jinks there are a lot of things to like about it.
And yes, I just spelled high-jinks the old fashioned way. COME AT ME, BRO.

You've seen the "Old Testament God/New Testament God" image floating around tumblr, right?

Lain is more like... the classic Jewish and Orthodox mystical conceptions of God. She is all things to all people and yet one thing at the same time. Or even the Gnostic True God to Eiri's Demiurge.
(Incidentally, the Kabbalistic aspect ties into Utena in a roundabout way, given that each duellist represents an aspect of the Sephiroth and/or the Qlippoth.)
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
I remember the first two, but I don't remember Shinji theories.
Also, I'm reminded of that one page devoted to the theory that every television show ever created was a 10-year-old autistic boy's daydream because of the bizarre twist ending of St. Elsewhere. Yes, I know that was a thing long before TVT, but still.

So, could Centronymous or anyone that had Nickelodeon remember this first episode of Rugtats?
Because I like this animation here.

I notice they made a point to show the adults leaving the room before the babies talk, implying that the babies really can speak and they're keeping it "secret"
I'm glad they dropped that angle for the series proper, because it doesn't really make sense

I don't know if that was the precise intent, but I get what you mean.

I never saw the show. I hope the animation is like this first episode, with weird camera angles, long necks, and DAT foreshortening.

Now that I've had a desktop for a few years, it feels weird that I ever had a laptop.

Those were the days, Myr, those were good days.
I assume people do not eat or perform experiments on animals in this world.

I liked early, to early-mid Rugrats.
It was a big influence on me, as young-un.
