@disrupthehuman@AuthorialGail the films are procedural and dry in a way that they don't let the audience escape, its like the goal is to make the audience sit there. Like a blend of his LA and animation. Also Gquuux was entirely on Tsumaraki he just wrote the exposition episode and produced
@disrupthehuman@AuthorialGail I think with the shin films he was able to tap in again, just in a healthier way.

@jorgertg98 honestly funnier theres so little engagement with comics outside of fandom stuff the main point is that he doesn't sell well instead of being a former confederate
