I heard chanting. I'm betting the foreigners turn out to be

yeah this looks to be somewhat Lovecraftian horror...very cool

love the green glow against the complex at night..

Oooh a Cthulu/Lovecraft reference. That would be cool

wow for sure. Even the art is obviously there too. I knew i'd seen the style before, but feel stupid for not realizing it was KLK and Gurren Lagann. Makes me want to revisit all his earlier stuff.

Yeah BL is definitely more in line w/ the films you're right. Edgerunners is more raw and in your face cyberpunk. Im not too familiar with Imaishi but he's doing a fabulous job at directing. The episodes buzz along, but the storyline is well laid out and has some emotional beats too, so it's not all over the top all the time. What else has he done hat youre a fan of?

awesome gif

Yeah, good question and it might be more of a personal thing, but I thought BL would explore more cutting edge cyberpunk topics and storylines. Edgerunners for example really pushes the genre to its more extreme boundaries as far as the technological questions go. It's more cartoonish in a way too but it's much closer to how Gibson described places like the Sprawl in his novels. It's actually a lot like GiTS, but a psychedelic punk version. Black Lotus otoh is much more restrained and existential.

yup, incredible....love that title too

Not sure what you mean, but if you can clarify I can try to answer. Either way I think you'd really enjoy it. It's a no brainer as far as just being that good. Some might not like the in your face art, but I think it's appropriate.

Yeah I had no idea it was them until like the 4th episode but then it all made sense. I have not finished yet and am almost savoring it at this point. Every episode is just a joy to experience. They have a formula for a long runner if they really wanted to keep it going.
