I miss this, I totally thought it was intentional and love how accidentally thematic it is lmao
When Tenna switches through channels rapidly at the end of his fight, on release there was a bug for PC caused by using certain GPUs that would display texture data on the screen instead of the intended static. This has since been fixed.

there's an argument to be made that the fascism aesthetics of mechsploitation serve a thematic purpose but it's hard to extend that justification to the girls fetishizing and dressing up as the genre's aesthetics in the real world

Fascinating things to me about Yume 2kki is that because it's a largely collaborative community project it doesn't have any thematic or artistic consistency; it goes all over the place so there's nothing to really gleam of Urotsuki. HOWEVER-

"wait is it serendipity or is it purposeful thematic intent" look with ZUN it is somehow both and neither okay sometimes the beer just speaks through him

Because of this, there's a real focus on "micro" stories; one mapmaker implementing short vignettes into 2kki with their own thematic throughlines and motifs. Sure, it doesn't say anything about Urotsuki in general, but it's the walking sim version of a short story compilation

Is there an academic or critical textbook with great analysis covering Deep Space Nine? It's such a rich show and I feel like there's an enormous amount of thematic ground that could be covered on a multitude of subjects.

And unlike the movies and musical, he doesn't wind up with Mércèdes (though I get the romantic urge), too much has happened between them to get back together. There's no full recompensation for Edmond's loss In a thematic way, both Danglars and Dantès wind up in the same situation by the end:

I designed a magic rule system for boundless and I’m so happy about it
It’s wild how both easy and fun it is to work with this ruleset.
Rules write themselves and they are just so satisfying and thematic.

THEMATIC SPOILER: Also, there's a theme addressed in the final episode that is addressed so much better in the episode of Evil called C is for Cop. When that one character says something like, "I'm surprised I'm okay with this," it's like, dude, no one else is.

One of the most magisterial of compilations, DECADE goes for thematic coherence instead of chronological countdown (it does the latter, sure, but it doesn't play like it). humanizingthevacuum.wordpress.com/2020/04/12/r...
Ranking Neil Young’s ‘Decade’
Now, see, this is how you compile a great artist’s achievements. Although it helped that Neil Young didn’t release many singles in the usual sense, Decade treated him like a V.S. Pritch…
