War and suffering: between the gloom of World War I in the poetry of Siegfried Sassoon and the laser glare of MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM.... Cuteness Unit and Chi Chi bash their helmets against impossible to talk about soap opera until some kind of meaning pierces through. Long silences. Women floating through space. Newtypes and empathy and the battle between futurism and humanism."Brutal." Tragedies so real and punishing they bleed into the post apocalyptic twilight of I'M SO POPULAR. Chi Chi sheds real tears; You Will See the Tears of Time.
