It was very fun to stare slack-jawed at a screen for 45 minutes trying to understand what was happening, and I did manage to largely follow the plot, but seeing as how I’m a new audience to this insanity, can anyone just throw in some production context? Like why or how was this made, was it based on a manga, who made it and do they produce similar things or was this an example of how far you could stretch a dollar to make a crazy story?

100% worth watching, to anyone wondering.

    Guren Lagan is the best “saturday morning cartoon” type of anime I’ve ever seen. It’s the pinnacle of that vibe.
