The show undergoes a thematic shift roughly halfway through that catches the watcher completely off-guard. It subtly inserts light existential philosophy into what appears to be a stereotypical mecha anime which increases in quantity, not necessarily quality, until it reaches a climax in the movie. The author inserted his depression and self-loathing into the characterization of the protagonist and this, coupled with the aforesaid philosophy, resonates with viewers that can sympathize–or people that it catches off guard–because it coalesces with a brilliant soundtrack by Shiro Sagisu, high-quality and soulful animation (a veritable sendoff to 90's cel animation), and unadulterated, unexpected tragedy: the director makes it his objective to impart his depression upon the viewer; yet, for some reason, shows us that there is always hope.

It resonates specifically well with the stereotypical self-loathing teenager and is, realistically, the best the genre has to offer. It's objectively aesthetic if slightly pretentious. Whether or not it is substantial is, of course, up to you; I found it, despite largely disliking anime, interesting and without a contemporary western equivalent.

24 been here since 12. Not the worst thing ever, really, but I should take a break.

>modern left are the revolutionary class of yore and are anti-liberal pluralists whose revolution has been incorporated into the status quo of western society rendering them revolutionaries who do not do anything conducive to revlution
>modern right are classical liberals and antagonistic to social liberalism whilst upholding economically liberal policies that necessarily beget social liberalism
>modern politics is a battle between revolutionaries that support the status quo and reactionaries that do not react effectively rendering western political systems and societies inert as the largest wealth transfer in history continues to occur
haha imagine if this was the case

does appreciation for females stem only from sexual desire for you guys and in the event of its fulfillment do you no longer find yourself in the former state so then is the former state an implicitly sexual one because that seems very base to attribute those feelings to some extension of a biological imperative manifested in a manipulative desire then consumated in sexual objectification ohh so then she wouldnt be so pretty if only you could "insert your penis deep inside her" or get laid because her ostensible function has been fulfilled and you can move on- that is disgusting
