[@black1blade74]

+Paul Appleton You gotta love anime with that urban late 90s feel like boggiepop, lain and kara no kyoukai.

[@paulappleton9666]

+Eesa Ali Truer words were never spoken, friend. In fact I think I'll re-watch Lain this week, it's been too long and I'm feeling all nostalgic now. Take care.

[@mopeybloke]

One anime with a bit of a similar vibe is Shinreigari Ghost Hound. Paranoia Agent too.

[@aresef]

It was the anime that got me into anime when I saw it on TechTV. The episode that I saw: My Fair Lady.

[@ryohazuki3071]

Paul Appleton this song set the vibe, anime continued it.

[@HarujiSubayama]

I see it as a show that gives ideas, but still leaves enough open for interpretation. My interpretation after watching it a second time is that it's about growing up and getting on in life from childhood, but still keeping those fond childhood memories. It may be dark and gritty, but it still has a unique beauty to it. It's genius.

[@giga3132]

Recently started this series and was struck by this opening. The music in this series has been incredible.

[@pianoman8765]

I have it on DVD :3. A store near my house was selling anime for a very low price because they were going out of business. I got this and Serial Experiments Lain. I'm so happy to have these two. They are both classics :3

I just started this anime, I’ve got no idea what is going on but I loved every minute of what I saw. It kinda reminded me of Lain with its atmosphere and the fact that it just shows you things without explanation. I have a feeling this anime is going to end up being another favorite of mine

[@V4Vonnie]

Ya'll. So i used to rip songs from Limewire back in the day. This was one. I remembered the beat but couldnt remember the anime it came from. This was years agao. I was JUST watching a random video where BoogiePop Phantom was mentioned. I looked it up and I click the first thing that looked familiar. I had already liked this video! Im so happy. Saving to favorites.

I remember being a preteen when this would come on the Funimation channel late at night. As an insomniac who loved anime, I’d stay up with the TV on and eventually Boogiepop Phantom came on. The opening was so relaxing, I was in love. I ended up learning why the show came on so late-it was definitely NOT for 11 year olds. Well, I’m 24 now and still come back to listen to this song, and I own the Boogiepop light novels and watched the 2019 anime as it aired, so it didn’t traumatize me too badly.

If anyone is confused by this anime, read the light novels! It doesn't do as well on it's own because it's a direct sequel to the first novel. (I'd say treat it like another light novel, just animated instead)

Its actually a non related and non-canonical anthology series. I mean the ending of the first book instigates the events of the anime, but the stories here are self-contained enough to be their own thing.

Yeah, I agree. The OP and ED are just generic pop songs that don't capture the feel of Boogiepop. I would have liked them to have a western song as an ED, like how Jojo did, since Boogiepop has musical references.

@@WalkerRileyMC The new anime follows like 6 novels and tried to condense them into 2-3 episodes each. You miss so much with the new anime compared to the books. By comparison, the old anime is all original content, not a book adaptation, and captures the feeling of reading a boogiepop novel much better.
