Hhmm... Texhnolyze? Eureka 7? Gunslinger Girl? Oldies, but these 3 had some impact when I watched them years before and I don't think many appreciates them.
Weird question time again!
What’s ‘your’ weird, niche anime that it feels like no one else has seen?
What elements do you like, is it something you think more should see or something that needs a specific viewer, etc etc?
Me? Avenger, it’s only okay but the concepts hit hard to a teenage mox!

Texhnolyze 17-22
Something about getting older, is now I like this one too.
It's somber, slow, violent, creepy, weird...no one gets out alive.
I watched it again thinking it might now be less creepy than recent American Necropolitical developments. Like taking antivenin for a wound of darkness.

Pues viendo que Lain y Ergo Proxy son tus favs estoy 99% seguro de que Texhnolyze te va a gustar. Es también de esos animes que hay que verlos con mucha calma y sin esperar estímulos cada 5 minutos, pero que cuando te pillan con el mood o en el momento de tu vida adecuado los aprecias mucho.

Te entiendo, a mi me paso eso justo con Lain, que la primera vez que la vi, la deje de lado por que estaba convencido de que simplemente seria una chica vestida de oso haciendo cosas raras.
Y joer que equivocado xd. Texhnolyze la tengo pendiente aun.

Hace como 15 años que vi Ergo Proxy, tendría que verla de nuevo. En su momento me dejó un poco tibio aunque la prota me molaba bastante. Creo que ahora la apreciaría más, me hubiese pasado lo mismo si hubiese visto Texhnolyze por la época seguramente.

I chose creeping on two accounts...
1. Texhnolyze is deliberately slow and has an unyielding pace.
2. It gets real creepy on the way down to its bitter end, and I've just begun the creepy portion. This is the part of the show that put me off seeing it again, yet also the part I'm 'keen?' to see.

Texhnolyze 5-16
Just about every bit as watchable as I remember it... When I first watched this show, I finished the last 17 episodes in one sitting... might have done that again today if I'd started earlier.
Texhnolyze is a 'creeping' nihilist Yakuza Cyberpunk mystery.

John Earle, that's a really intense image! The contrast between the burning cars and the building in the background is striking, though the scene itself looks really disturbing. I hope everyone in the area is safe. It reminds me of some scenes from the anime 'Texhnolyze,' which had a really dark

Vu Tetsuo (1989) hier, & la manière dont ce vagabond sort de l'ombre à côté des rails (la caméra tremblante dévoilant sa silhouette, inconnu moustachu qu'on ne voit que quelques minutes ici dérangeant l'affrontement entre les 2 principaux) me rappelle Yoshii, l'émeutier philosophe dans Texhnolyze...

Okay, firstly that's not even the most obscure aBe show and secondly, I watched both Texhnolyze and NieA_7 like a decade ago

The framing of the above-world seems to be that they created true peace through eugenics, but without violence and conflict the people lost their purpose, and that the violent and cruel culture of Lux is preferable because it's more human to conquer and be conquered

Chiaki Konaka often writes about fascism and sometimes it's hard to tell where he stands on it
Parasite Dolls seems strongly opposed to fascism, but Texhnolyze seems to imply (and interviews reinforce) that might makes right and peace degrades the soul because humans are natually violent

Texhnolyze is one of my all time favourite anime but man is it a rough time with near zero dialogue in the first episode and with such an oppressive industrial atmosphere and direction.

Boa sorte amigo!!
Eu tentei duas vezes assistir Texhnolyze. Achei difícil. Mas minha cabeça não tava muito boa em ambas as épocas também 🫠
Mas ei!! A abertura de Bokurano é bem boa de escutar! (eu ouvia muito na época que via/escutava os pout-porri do niconico douga.
irei acompanhar sua jornada! 🫡
