Giving an anime character a new hairstyle after a significant change is a visual shorthand so the audience can tell at a glance that the character has changed. Whether it's hair or outfit or some other aesthetic change, it signifies distinguishable eras in the character's life. Many people do the same in their own life, and consider different looks to correlate to different eras. So they might not deliberately change their style and aesthetic to signify a change, but rather it becomes a retroactive marker of those changes. In my case, I had medium-length hair that I had to cut short when I joined the military, and then I grew my hair out after I left the military as a deliberate rebuke of the control they had over my body. Looking back, I think that long hairstyle was something I clung to based on anxiety in an attempt of feeling like I had no control of my autonomy. Last year, I shaved my head entirely when I realized I could no longer deny the fact that I was going bald, and that I no longer feared the correlation of short hair to that time in my life. Same sort of thing for my facial hair, too.

2025-02-18 08:50:03 +0000 UTCId be down for katanagatari too, I watched the first 2 episodes then unintentionally dropped it because I was watching a lot of other things, so I cant exactly fully praise it.

2025-02-17 23:40:43 +0000 UTCOk went through your AniList and Im struggling a bit to find recommendations. I think you already mentioned Kill la Kill/Gurren lagann, but Id be hyped for that ASAP. Cowboy Bebop/Samurai Champloo are always classics. Death note too. 2 out of 3 of those are reacted to oblivion on youtube though. You could catch back up with Dr Stone, final season is airing now and its getting spicy, though I expect there to be a break between cours. Hibike Euphonium movies, Liz and the blue bird honestly almost functions as a stand-alone and its beautiful. Catching up to series that werent on your channel probably wont work out that well for a lot of people though.
