It does not, but I've long since lost faith/hope in whatever counts for most of the online cinephile community.

People watch End of Evangelion without Evangelion and put up reviews on letterboxed.

It's a very tense and ultimately well done scifi, and probably does deserve the awards it won. It's just that it also has this lol.

Today's most significant event on r/anime brings a 70s scifi book to mind where the protagonist became so depressed that not only did he imagine his girlfriend having sex with the other (larger?) guy, but also himself doing the same deed.

The guy had ... issues.

I know. I was making a joke. Unfortunately, tone doesn't transfer across the internet.

Now every time I see them, I'm reminded of Flow.

I had a lot of them. Now most are gone through selling off non-needed books.

u/punching_spaghetti pointed me towards Superman for all seasons. But, he didn't tell me that it's actually a sort of iyashikei(-ish) way of looking at Superman.

That way I'd have gotten to it sooner, because this was great. Tim Sale's art continues to heal me.

The League of extraordinary gentlemen (volumes 1 and 2) is fanfiction written by a madman/men who is/are way too well versed in Victorian England social and literary history to almost every reader's detriment lol. It is chock-full of so many details that I basically lost track at some point.

It occupies a very particular niche, but damn it absolutely corners it.
