"Alone" ... again... naturally...

[ Edited ]

I wasn't sure which episode was coming on... as soon as I saw "Alone" on the screen I got goose bumps. This one is incredibly twisted and sad. The first time it aired I think I stared at the television, mouth agape, through the entire episode, and then a bit longer when it was over. Incredible insights are given into these women's lives in a short eleven minutes.

What did you think when you first saw this?

Also, if you haven't already, this is a good time to track down the script for the unproduced episode "Raped" ~ (discussion thread)

When will television have the courage to show the humor in a rape and subsequent abortion?

I eagerly await for 2 Broke Girls to be the first.

rarely has a work of animation moved me to actual tears; Nurse Bendy's portion of "Alone" did. 

 

Some thought we were supposed to be laughing or creeped out by her..."role playing fantasy" at her home, but I got that A - Bendy is aware underneath that its just a fantasy she's acting out, she's not deranged or something B - it was just so utterly moving and sad that this two-dimensional background character, "the nurse who sleeps around", gets this whole scene where she shows how she longs to be a loving mother in a stable family relationship, and *she's annoyed that people think of her as a two-deminsional character* and don't realize that she's also sad or afraid or lonely at times.

Can't take away my memories of Big O--Can't Shut Up the Diclonius girls--Have you ever been Mello?--What anime characters are you? Eva's Asuka and DN's Mello
This fandom's afraid of me. I've seen its true face. The bboards are extended gutters and the gutters are full of hentai fanart. And when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and self-serving fanfic will foam up about their waists and all the otakus and weaboos will look up and shout 'We want Eva hentai!'... and I'll look down and whisper...'No.' " ReVolution of Evangelion
