FWIW, I'm with the Prof on this one. I first saw The Tatami Galaxy back in 2013 and found it exceptional. (I still do.)
The next Yuasa thing I saw was Night is Short, and while not up up there with Tatami for me, I still enjoyed it.
And then I saw some other examples of Yuasa's work and started to realise that perhaps I'd been rating him a bit
too highly. His contribution to the Genius Party short film anthology, Happy Machine, is... perfectly good, I suppose; Lu Over the Wall is fun and charming in parts but falls apart into a bit of a mess late on; I was honestly surprised to be so disappointed by Ping Pong, but I could just never get into any of the characters or their stories...
And then I saw Mind Game. I absolutely
hated it. What an awful excuse for a film. That further damaged my overall opinion of Yuasa's complete body of work to date. I'd love it if I enjoyed Ride Your Wave, though. I've got my fingers crossed for that one.
Again, FWIW, I think We Without Wings is one of the
very worst examples of what anime can sometimes end up as. It's such godawful tripe, with writing that's cackhanded and incoherent at best, and just outright creepy and disturbing at worst.
I gave it 2/10 on MAL, but that was only because I didn't want to trivialise the 1/10 score I gave Urotsukidouji II. That is hands-down the
worst anime I have ever seen. Absolute gutter trash.
