This is so fucking good. Incredible writing, performances, story, and pacing. The ending had me literally sobbing. Beautifully constructed, and very emotionally honest and heartfelt. A really excellent done coming of age story that effectively preserves the look and feel of 1980s-90s LA beautifully and with astute and carful attention.

I liked the part where the baby holds up the cracker to everyone. It was an unexpected twist, utterly clever, and truly gripping. I had expected the baby to eat, but instead, it suggested its own sentience, offering the audience (or whoever was behind the camera apparatus) a bite. How utterly delightful and completely empathic is that?

By far, one of the absolute best-animated shows I've seen produced in the modern era and a 'Western' style. Historically rich and beautifully composed, this is a surprisingly poignant and relevant work that addresses issues of violence, colonialism, and gender so beautifully. I cannot recommend this series enough, and I can't wait until the release of its second season.
