Recommended by a friend, I have only watched four episodes so far, and my friend said: The brain hole is amazing. So I watched it with an open mind. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. Maybe it was because I was not used to the style of simple strokes with straight arms and straight legs.
As far as sci-fi brain holes are concerned, it really didn't give me much impact on the lack of reading films. The spaceship and time travel in the first episode felt like a jingle cat. In the second episode, I also repeatedly mentioned Inception, and the third episode. The episode reminds me of the Japanese Platelet anime, and the Sims episode 4 always reminds me of Truman's world. My friend also specially remarked that this is an R-rated animation, but the driving of the car within four episodes is far-fetched, which makes me wonder what the purpose of driving is.
Yet the rhythm and structure of it really got me going. In the first episode, a few lines of dialogue between the family eating breakfast convey the main character relationships and emotional attitudes, cleverly without procrastination (don't blame me for making a fuss, I really haven't watched a complete American drama). The 30-second title, the 20-minute duration, and the reversal and easter eggs at the end, its rhythm makes it easy for me to keep going.
And the structure I like the most. Simple sci-fi brain holes and adventure trips, the animation "Martin's Morning" also did it. However, this one is interspersed with the ordinary life represented by Jerry in reality. In the first episode, several clips of family members clearly describe the life of an ordinary family of five. In the second episode, the human and dog transposition even made me almost ignore Rick and Morty's dream crossing. There is also the fourth episode that seems to be about the sci-fi brain hole of the simulation cabin, but Jerry, as an unknowing person, seems to be living his ordinary but brilliant day. Such a structure of cross-narratives between reality and science fiction is what attracts me the most. Maybe every episode of science fiction is paving the way for some real social problems. However, I am a person who can kill monsters all the way and realize it later. I don't understand the deep core, so I can only write casually, and then continue to follow the drama.
