This week, an article was published on Anime News Network regarding an interview Mamoru Oshii had where he expressed his thoughts on Evangelion director, Hideaki Anno. In that interview, the strangest thing he said was that Hideaki Anno's works don't really have themes by pointing that what he mainly conveys is self-expression. So that begs us to ask, can self-expression really not be considered thematic in itself? And if not, is self-expression somehow lesser? In this conversation, we dove deep to explore what it actually means to have a theme and if a movie can succeed without one.

For this episode, we dive right into talking about one of the most fundamental and often overlooked aspects of anime: the visuals. Specifically, we're tackling the way in which people talk about those visuals or even outright disregard its significance in making an anime work. But what led to this mindset toward animation? And what can we do as fans to gain more of an appreciation of that? Is the barrier for entry too high for not only the casual but even the most seasoned of fans? To answer those questions, we thought it best to consult someone who is already well-acquainted with this subject. For that, we've invited fellow anituber, TheCynicClinic, to help guide us on how we can elevate our conversations about animation in the community.
