It depicts an obsidian overhang which menaces with spikes of obsidian and tears. Carved on the overhang is an image of Toady One and the players. The players are curled up in a fetal position. Toady One is laughing. The players are burning.

i know i already reblogged this like 20 minutes ago but I think this is my favourite vine of all time.

Oh, thematically and all it’s very up tumblr’s alley, that’s what I meant by Correct when I called it “Correct but surprising”. The surprising is that for a long time it was kind of obscure - there was an official English release (with atrocious voice acting) for the first 13 episodes (the “Student Council Saga”) but it didn’t catch on. And for maybe a decade you could only get the rest of it on fansubbed VHS (this is when I saw it, at the anime club that had originally subbed it). Even when the other arcs got an official licensed release it wasn’t treated as a big thing (iirc the “big thing” then was… KareKano? Maybe Excel Saga.)

So to see it treated now as one of the pillars of ’90s anime, up there with Evangelion and maybe above Cowboy Bebop, not even to mention Trigun or Escaflowne or Nadesico (which were much bigger at the time), comes as a bit of a shock.

The analysis is a bit stale, and I think the “evil E1” bit is ridiculous (I would accept “machiavellian”), but the underlying schema’s worth considering nonetheless.

(if anyone should be surprised to come across a Final Fantasy VI reference in the middle of an analysis of social structure it sure as hell shouldn’t be me, but here we are)

Whole thing reminds me of “ladder theory”, which was to Internet 1.0 what “Game”/“redpill” heteromasculinism is to 2.0 (I mean, look at this fucking webdesign)
