    It has great audiovisual production values for a show of this type. Natsuyoshi Yuuko is nailing her role. The sounds she makes are on par with Kumiko noises. The show is funny, yet the creators make no attempt to hide the fact that the story has its dark sides. It definitely comes across as an anti-smoking ad. I’m glad someone decided to portray smoking as something disgusting, which it is, because anime as a medium usually depicts it in a positive light. The opening sequence is also excellent. It’s packed with references to various cultural works (Spiderman, LotR, Nirvana, and a bunch of others), and I probably didn’t even catch half of them.

      The opening sequence is also excellent. It’s packed with references to various cultural works (Spiderman, LotR, Nirvana, and a bunch of others), and I probably didn’t even catch half of them.

      the ones I recognized:

      Footlose

      Leon The Professional

      Dumb&Dumber

      Trainspotting

      Nirvana Nevermind Was wrong here. It was Trainspotting, which also fits better with the film setting.

      The Usual Suspects

      Breakfast Club

      The Evil Dead (maybe, its a reach)

      Lord of the Rings

      Fight Club

      Resident Evil Extinction

      Spiderman 3

      Pulp Fiction

      Wednesday Adams

      Saturday Night Feaver

      Fallen Angels

      A Better Tomorrow

      Chinatown

      Conclave

      Project A

      Ready of Not

      Blade Runner

      Coffeee and Cigarettes

      Flashdance

      Stand by Me

      The King of Comedy

      The Yellow Handkerchief

      Pierrot le Fou

      Night On Earth

      Farewell Friend

      Blue Spring

      Either way, anime YouTuber will have a field day with this one. I can’t wait to see a side by side of the entire opening with the original shots.

      edit: thanks to the internet sleuths I have some reference material as well and references that I missed.

      Still so many scenes missing…

      Supermarket makes smoking look kind of okay while the cat makes it look absolutely vile and disgusting.
