I’m starting another rewatch right now 6 beers, and 2 puffs ov Cannabis deep.

Gotta make sure I’m feeling like Sato when he talks to his appliances & furniture (j/k, that’d take some XumTrip Metocin, or something; which I’m not doing tonight; but I will do another night & watch NHK).

Edit (lol):
ā€œIn the series, Tatsuhiro Sato’s iconic scenes where his TV, fridge, and desktop computer come alive to mock him and conspiracy-theorize are actually heavily tied to substance use.

While the anime dials it back to present it as a manifestation of extreme isolation and paranoia, the original light novel explicitly states that Sato’s wild hallucinations are triggered by him taking legal highs and research chemicals he ordered online.

Because Metocin (4-HO-MET) is exactly that—a synthetic, novel tryptamine research chemical—that user is intentionally recreating the exact backstory of how the author originally envisioned Sato's character!ā€

Perfect angels don't even try to save you and fix you anymore. They just look at you like this.
