I know it's not strictly anime but we can choose not to be petty fucks about animation.

Just watched S1 of this and I can't help but see a strong allegory. Hell is literally a prison for undesirables that heaven regularly comes down into for the purposes of doing various genocidal exterminations. The population of Hell are unable to fight back. Then a major upset event occurs that makes everyone realise that heaven can bleed.

I can't help but think all the way through this show that Hell desperately needs a liberation army to break out of their imprisonment.

Anyone seen it? Thoughts? First couple of eps felt a bit ehh but it finds its stride when it starts leaning in on being a musical and some of the characters are genuinely really fucking good, looking at you Alastor with your incredible radio voice.

Anyway if you haven't watched it I kinda recommend it and not to be put off by the first couple eps feeling overly edgy/cringe. It finds a good rhythm after them.

      Totally agree. Just felt like tossing my two cents in.

        No, I liked it, actually. Sorry, wasn't sure if we were just regurgitating the same things without knowing, but I liked the bit from Capital there.

        Edit: Oh wait, I think this is from Disco Elysium (hence the emoji)!

        lol!
