rushthatspeaksMy latest anime-what-I-download-and-watch-late-at-night-by-myself-so-I'll-have-something-to-watch-when-I'm-bored is Simoun, which has defeated my purposes by being sufficiently good that I watched eight episodes in one sitting-- twice. The same eight episodes.
I don't particularly want to talk about the premise, even, because I feel that's one of the most interesting reveals the show has, but: it is intelligently written. It has interesting commentary on war, national differences, age, religion, gender and the intersections of the above. It has good music. It is a nice solid mix of science fiction and fantasy. And it's yuri-- much with the lesbians-- but yuri which I believe to be solidly aimed at a female audience, i.e. not simply male-fantasy fodder.
And it has a character who happens to resemble my internal self-conception of what I would probably look like drawn as an anime character than any other character design I've ever seen. So, in case anyone is watching this show and forgot to tell me, does anyone have any screencaps of Mamiina I could use for new-default-iconage? Thanks.
