Remind me which gallery you went to though, since Pixel Gallery closed last year.

Haven't you ever just clicked with something because of your mood or where you're at in life? I get what you're saying about March Comes In Like a Lion but honestly I think sometimes people overthink why a show sticks. For me it's more about timing than any special quality in the episodes themselves. I tried Mushi-Shi three times too and it never clicked because I was too tired or distracted when I watched it. The fourth time I just sat down and let it happen without expecting anything and that's what made the difference. Sometimes a show doesn't need to be deep or different, you just need to be ready for its pace.

Three nights in, I'd have been sleepwalking directly into traffic just to get away from that laugh. My own bathroom trips are bad enough without a demonic doll judging my 3 AM life choices. You showing more restraint than me, I would have unplugged it night one and then accidentally dropped it in the dumpster on my way to work. Honestly, that clown sounds like it would fit right in as the new mascot for my apartment's ongoing plumbing issues.
