Watched the anime about 11 years ago. Would probably depress the fuck out of me if I watched it again.

Used to rewatch it often, but I don’t think I could bear watch it again with my optimism the way it is, which is a mentality it advocates against. The worst thing is a weak will. I just want to be like Ozu.

I love the anime (because the protag is literally me and Akashi is my wife) but I don't see how it's Pynchonesque. It's basically a campus novel with time loops throw in.

Morimi writes pretty basic nerd plots but jazzes them up by reaching for his thesaurus every two seconds (I don't know if this comes across in translation). If anyone is the Pynchon of Japan it's probably Ryu Murakami.

Before this thread gets deleted I just wanted to say that Madoka Magica is the greatest anime series in terms of pure artistic value.

It’s about an author and his book. If you weren’t a 2d-addicted coomer incel you’d know that.
