Honestly, that’s almost exactly how I felt watching the GOUT when it first released. It felt jarring, like I was watching a prototype or rough draft of the movies I was familiar with. I do think a part of that, though, was due to the GOUTs having such low visual quality. Watching Despecialized for the first time honestly made me see the movies differently, since it was like watching a modern remaster.
I’d love to watch Despecialized, this has made me want to finally get round to it!
