I thought the whole 'anime for adults' thing was just a marketing gimmick

For years I rolled my eyes at people saying shows like 'Monster' or 'Vinland Saga' were deep. Then my buddy made me watch 'Odd Taxi' last month, a show about a walrus cab driver. The dialogue is so sharp and the mystery plot is tighter than most live-action thrillers. It completely changed my mind about what the medium can do. What's one anime that actually made you rethink your own snobby opinions?

Funny how a show can just hit you different. Cowboy Bebop seemed like just another space show until I actually paid attention to the quiet moments. The whole thing just feels like a sad, cool blues song, you know?

It's all about the spaces between the notes, that's where the real story lives.

Totally get that. I watched it three times before I even noticed the background music was doing most of the talking (I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes). Those silent shots of the Bebop just floating in the dark really do all the heavy lifting.
