I never thought I'd be turned on by a scene where the heroine gives herself to her mirror reflection, which comes to life and becomes her shadow, more dominant, stronger, greedy. It was weird, even creepy at first... but then when she started asking for more and harder from herself, I just froze. These scenes break familiar boundaries, but they do it beautifully. TMovement is plastic, the play of light, the shadows on the skin, like an erotic dance. It's art too, but it's not beauty as an aesthetic that turns you on; it's beauty as a lust. So I'm thinking, where is the line? Is there even a line in animation, or have we been on the other side of it for a long time?
