yurikuma arashi is a show where bears (lesbians) are attacking and eating (seducing) (also killing and eating) the innocent schoolgirls of japan in a surreal and deeply horny commentary on depictions of queer characters in anime by ikuni, director of utena

so what i'm saying is this guy has the right idea when it comes to how to analyze it

also here's a couple screenshots so you have an idea of the level this is working on. some of these are nsfw

if you haven't seen ikuhara's other work it's all stuff i would categorize as "weird shit"

utena is definitely his best work (and my favorite show of all time), but this and sarazanmai are both worth watching. haven't seen penguindrum yet

i guess sailor moon isn't that weird, but he was just the director of a few seasons of the anime there, not the actual creative person behind it
