It's hard for me to review Boogiepop because by my own admission it's a hard show to follow. The story is told in non-linear fashion as the backgrounds and viewpoints of half-a-dozen characters intersect and are then analyzed independently and episodically. Individual episodes jump back and forth along the timeline as they fill in gaps regarding a supernatural incident that gave various people in a city special powers, or changed their lives permanently. However it's hard to argue with Boogiepop's lighting, ambiance, shot composition, or soundtrack, all of which are top-quality. It's the kind of laconic show that won't hold your hand and seems primarilyconcerned with identity in the digital age; it can certainly be seen as a companion piece with Serial Experiments Lain, and a foundational part of the Japanese "denpa" subgenre. I think it merits another watch or two before I can get into anything beyond its aesthetic qualities, but it makes for an amazing watch anyway.
