Unless everyone on the internet whose ever used those buzzwords to describe The Tatami Galaxy was fucking fourteen (which I highly doubt), then the idea that such an anime would be lumped in with the taste of someone who’d be super into Serial Experiments Lain for example seemed completely ridiculous to me. It’s just a show about a college kid losing his mind in his dorm room, because he doesn’t know how to grapple with his newfound freedom to choose his own path and frankly thinks he REALLY should’ve gotten laid by now…which is a station in life pretty much anyone over the age of twenty can empathize with…right? But The Tatami Galaxy doesn’t really have any of that. Lots of weird symbolism, unstated themes, non-linear storytelling, etc.

But even if I find things like this to be relatively easy to understand, I at least understand why others wouldn’t. These to me are anime which most of these people would call “pretentious,” “elitist,” whatever. Anything written by Chiaki Konaka anything directed by Mamoru Oshii anything touched with a ten-foot pole by Kunihiko Ikuhara even shit like Evangelion. I obviously understand that in the context of their common usage, these phrases are buzzwords that mean nothing and whose actual definitions are completely unknown and misunderstood to those using them, but still, these buzzwords have always been used to describe artsy, confusing, abstruse anime which the casual viewer would consider annoyingly if not purposefully difficult to parse. It was always spoken of as being this “pretentious,” “elitist,” “pseudo-intellectual” anime, and I could never understand why. Maybe I would’ve felt differently about the series if I had watched it first at the appropriate age, but personally, The Tatami Galaxy had always been one of those anime whose reputation seemed completely incongruous with my own experience. be to take a leap back in time to once again reacquaint myself with the 4.5 Tatami Ideologue, and I must say, it was more than happily worth my time. Hopefully you enjoy…īeing a drunk corpse, I figured a much more pertinent use of my time than watching Cyberpunk: Edgerunners-as much fun as that show was-would Alcohol and its affects were therefore heavily involved in all relevant processes.

This entire show and this entire review itself were both additionally and respectively viewed and created over the course of about nineteen hours. Plus however much Barrell Armida is in this rocks glass. Disclaimer: An entire bottle of Mount Gay Black Barrel, an undisclosed amount of Appleton 21, and multiple cans of Bacardi Rum Punch (to use as chasers) were consulted in the creation of this review.
