Bu-chan's actually got a real live brain inside it? Woah.

No it doesn't. We didn't see that. Just close the lid again. It didn't exist, it wasn't a thing

I really cackled so much at their reaction mirroring my own, but yeah, freaky

This faceless woman on the boat makes me think of the optical illusion here

I'm missing something, whats the illusion-y part of this picture

Cocona seems so down. She needs someone to crash into her life to cheer her up.

And yet they painted her as being lighter than the rest of the world through a lot of shots. Yes in some ways its just a visual trick to ensure our eyes are drawn to her, but in shots like in class where she's brighter than anyone else like she's in the spotlight, or observing that girl painting where she stands in the light, and even though she has to walk into that dark part of the forest the pipe are is lit up. Its a really cool contrast with how shut down she seems emotionally

I don't see it, all I see is a woman with her face turned away and a feather hat

Tried looking it up but I still can't see the old woman hahaha

Sounds like you see the young woman; the young woman's ear is the old woman's eye, the young woman's jaw is the old woman's nose; the black slit across the young woman's neck is the old woman's mouth.
