Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

It’s not that obscure, but Perfect Blue (1997) has not left my mind since I first watched it.
Everything Satoshi Kon made was great. I personally lost interest in anime when he died because there is literally nobody else who pushed anime in any worthwhile direction other than him, in my humble opinion. My favourite of his has to be a tie between Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers. Perfect Blue was also waaaayyy ahead of its time. It’s a masterpiece.
They’re not going in the same direction, but if you want some anime of Kon’s calibre, look into the work of Urasawa. Personally, I found Monster and Pluto to both be 10/10 shows.
Honestly… valid. I love Urusawa. Monster and Pluto are both amazing shows. The only reason I even bothered with Pluto was because it was made by him.
I’ll eat my words. There’s at least one person in anime who still makes good shit and actually tries.
