✦Finished Darwin Jihen... It really is saying a lot about society. As far as foreign perspectives on USA issues go, it was a fun thing to experience as a group watch with my gringuitos, who will now probably force me to watch all of the Planet of the Apes movies in one sitting, to keep the monkey train going.
I don't think Darwin Jihen's terribly clumsy in the way it boards the (heavy and complicated) themes it touches, but it definitely feels like someone peeping, thoughtfully, into a jar, rather than being soaked in those issues. I'm sure some US folks watching the show will feel different than a non-US watcher like me did when they see an open carry heckler being mocked, or a former military guy that definitely did war crimes in a brown country now act as an earnest vegan terrorist.
It has some gruesome depictions of traumatic events and violence, so be mindful. Opening song is staying in my playlist for sure. I'm rooting for Lucy and Charlie 😃
I don't wanna read the manga because I have too much book back log but it IS getting licensed here and there's no way it's getting a second season, even with the massive cliffhanger it ended with. Sighhh maybe I will.
