According to Wikipedia the third season of the anime was written by Chiaki J. Konaka.
"In the original Japanese, this series is also known for its darker undertones and story plots, taking darker routes than in previous series."
Well that makes sense.Sunday, 29-Mar-15 03:13:21 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal who is Chiaki J. Konaka.?

@mushi He wrote Serial Experiments Lain, as well as one of my other favourite animes of all time: Texhnolyze. He's also worked on several other series I enjoyed a lot, specifically Princess Tutu and Ghost Hound.

@mushi Texhnoloze is one of my favourite anime ever, but I have a hard time recommending it to being because it's incredibly dark. And I don't mean in the tryhard edgy sense that most "dark" animes are, I mean that the series is genuinely nihilistic and has one of the most oppressive atmospheres I've seen in a show. As a mood piece it's a master class. But it's also incredibly minimalistic at times. Dialogue throughout can be incredibly sparse at times and when there are action scenes they are over incredibly quickly, the violence the series does pose is swift and deliberate. Also, the writing is incredibly subtle and the show will not explain itself to you through exposition or feed anyathing to you on a silver platter. It's pretty difficult for an anime but if you stick through to the end it's really worth it, the series works really well on so many levels.

@mushi Also Princess Tutu is cool because it did the whole "magical girl anime but also psychological character study" thing Madoka Magica did but like ~a decade earlier.

@northernnarwhal well, that sounds nice
Sunday, 29-Mar-15 03:45:56 UTC from web-
@mushi I mean, narratively and thematically the shows are different but they do both share that style of storytelling so generally if you like one you'll probably like the other. Princess Tutu is underrated as hell though.

@northernnarwhal well, this one i know by name, but never cared to look agt it
Sunday, 29-Mar-15 03:49:00 UTC from web-
@mushi Yeah, a lot of people have probably heard of it but its really slept on in terms of people who've actually seen it.
