Best post I have seen you make that I have come across. Although could have had a lot more content with a bit of research. :)

So I probably should finish watching Tsukuyomi, eh? I got kind of stalled on it, mostly because Kohei is just so fucking annoying…

I rather like how the shows you mentioned when they do their artsy scenes still obey the rule of thirds, or if not (like the top picture) your eye finds itself moving from detail to detail and finding several focal points, thereby properly breaking the rule. That and I love how they do a sort of HDR lighting imitation in that first example screenshot.

This is why I don’t get people who disliked Tsukuyomi. I never understand it. They said it was boring, lacking focus, too ridiculous, etc. To this day, it has some of the most wonderfully ambitious direction in the medium.
