    It has great audiovisual production values for a show of this type. Natsuyoshi Yuuko is nailing her role. The sounds she makes are on par with Kumiko noises. The show is funny, yet the creators make no attempt to hide the fact that the story has its dark sides. It definitely comes across as an anti-smoking ad. I’m glad someone decided to portray smoking as something disgusting, which it is, because anime as a medium usually depicts it in a positive light. The opening sequence is also excellent. It’s packed with references to various cultural works (Spiderman, LotR, Nirvana, and a bunch of others), and I probably didn’t even catch half of them.

    The opening sequence is also excellent. It’s packed with references to various cultural works (Spiderman, LotR, Nirvana, and a bunch of others), and I probably didn’t even catch half of them.

    the ones I recognized:

    Footlose

    Leon The Professional

    Dumb&Dumber

    Trainspotting

    Nirvana Nevermind Was wrong here. It was Trainspotting, which also fits better with the film setting.

    The Usual Suspects

    Breakfast Club

    The Evil Dead (maybe, its a reach)

    Lord of the Rings

    Fight Club

    Resident Evil Extinction

    Spiderman 3

    Pulp Fiction

    Wednesday Adams

    Saturday Night Feaver

    Fallen Angels

    A Better Tomorrow

    Chinatown

    Conclave

    Project A

    Ready of Not

    Blade Runner

    Coffeee and Cigarettes

    Flashdance

    Stand by Me

    The King of Comedy

    The Yellow Handkerchief

    Pierrot le Fou

    Night On Earth

    Farewell Friend

    Blue Spring

    Either way, anime YouTuber will have a field day with this one. I can't wait to see a side by side of the entire opening with the original shots.

    edit: thanks to the internet sleuths I have some reference material as well and references that I missed.

    Still so many scenes missing...
