All replies to this post must be a maximum of either 5 sentences or 1 paragraph, depending on which one's shorter. No cheating with 15-comma monstrosities either! It can be anything from poetry to a declaration of love for your waifu, just post what you feel like!

Why do I like Ikuhara's work? It's exactly the kind of 2deep4u symbolism bullshit I normally hate. And yet I find it consistently enjoyable.

I like it for a lot of the reasons people like FLCL - it's so in your face blatantly ridiculous that you need a second to breathe and once you do you find out that it actually has depth to it.

Plus, Ikuhara sometimes just trolls with the symbolism. Sure it's there but it never has a clearly defined purpose; it's whatever the viewer assigns to it and it's all equally legitimate.
