So I finally watched Crisis on Infinite Earths Part One recently now that it’s on MAX and I liked it, the unique framing they chose was pretty cool.
It of course get me thinking about the 2017 Anime Re:Creators again. One of the things I’ve been thinking about that show since I finally first watched it last year was that it has, perhaps by pure coincidence, some structural similarities to Crisis on Infinite Earth. The scale is ultimately much smaller but the parallels you can make are neat.
Souta Mizushino plays the thematic role of Pariah to some extent.
Meteora is The Monitor and Altair the Anti-Monitor.
Mamika plays a role similar to Supergirl.
My thoughts on this really weren’t all that worthy of an entire post, but that’s fine. I might take a break and not post anything else till sometime in May, it all depends on if inspiration strikes me.
Update: And I did not know when I wrote this that Amazon let the license to Re;Creators lapse so now it's not possible to legally watch at all. Very frustrating.
