"There's a reason the show has such a strong cult following."
I'm sure that most people have, at some point in their lives, asked themselves "If I had made a different decision in my life, how would I be different today?" It may take a few episodes to realize it, but this question is the entire basis of Yojo-han Shinwa Taikei, AKA The Tatami Galaxy. The story…

Please excuse me for an entire review while I gush about how much I love The Tatami Galaxy. Honestly, I haven't watched a show quite as thought provoking and artistically pleasing as The Tatami Galaxy since one of my absolute favorites of all time, the Monogatari Series. Not that the two are all tha…

The animation genre continues to grow in popularity and techniques since its creation. Its market is full of different styles, such as 2D, stopmotion, CGI, and even a mix of all these previously stated.

The idea of perfection is something that, I believe, not any piece of media has been able to attain, and that makes sense. Nothing is 'truly perfect' and every piece of media, no matter how great that product actually is, will still have flaws in one way or another and this philosophy also applies w…

Tatami Galaxy é uma profunda análise sobre a ordinariedade da vida.

Alors... Je ne pensais pas au début en lisant le synopsis, mais j'ai adoré cet anime, à un niveau très rarement atteint. Comme quoi, il ne faut jamais juger un livre à sa couverture. Ça tombe bien, c'est une des nombreuses morales qu'on peut tirer de cette œuvre.
Bon, on ne va pas se le cacher, le…

Tatami Galaxy: surreal, hilarious, visceral, eclectic, profound. It is the embodiment of magical realism; if Murakami and other contemporary classics of Japanese literature in the genre had their essences extracted and turned into an anime. In fact, this is no exaggeration since Tatami Galaxy was ad…

Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei (the Tatami Galaxy) is a wonderful and weird anime directed by Masaaki Yuasa. I have always heard of the show being different to most anime and about Yuasa's unique way of directing anime, but I was not prepared for what I got.
The series is about a college student, Watashi,…

A nameless protagonist, referred to as Watashi, has just entered college, and the story more or less follows his many lives and many misfortunes. Each episode starts with Watashi pursuing something insane or stupid - like a "rose-colored campus life" or "raven-haired maidens" and in each episode, hi…

Tatami Galaxy is an interesting anime to watch and ideally rewatch a time or two. I've tried to think of another anime that matches it or something to compare it to that's equivalent and it's a bit tough to pin it down. In the modern age of anime with very established tropes and expectations, this…

Ever since watching The Social Network for the third time I have been kind of obsessed with Aaron Sorkin.
