Disorderly is a millennial body horror novel that tackles cannibalism and cancer and harkens back to David Cronenberg films of the 1980s.
“[Disorderly] has a lot of heart to it.”

1979-1990 Anime Primer
Macross: Do You Remember Love? (1984)
In 2009, humanity finds itself under siege by a race of giant, warlike aliens called the Zentradi. During their initial attack, the SDF-1 Macross—a giant transforming space fortress housing thousands of civilians in addition to military personnel—is flung to the far side of the solar system due to a faulty space fold. Struggling to make it back to Earth with enemy forces hot on their trail, the people try to stay positive, their morale raised by the singing of superstar pop idol Lynn Minmay. Fighter pilot Hikaru is a huge fan, and a daring rescue leads to a potential romance between the two. But the Zentradi also have their eyes on Minmay. Her love songs stir up ancient memories of what may be their only weakness: Proto-Culture.
It’s hard to overstate the impact Macross: Do You Remember Love? had on anime fans, and the genre as a whole, upon its release in 1984 (a momentous year that also saw game changers Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Urusei Yatsura Movie 2: Beautiful Dreamer hit theaters). An adaption of the 1982 surprise hit TV series Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Do You Remember Love? smartly streamlines the original story while emphasizing the three key factors that made it a success: eye-popping space battles, a gripping love story, and catchy music. The production staff bursts at the seams with some of the most talented people in the industry, including: director Shoji Kawamori, co-director/writer Noboru Ishiguro, character designer Haruhiko Mikimoto, mecha designer Kazutaka Miyatake and ace animators like Koji Morimoto, Hideaki Anno, Hiroyuki Kitakubo and Ichiro Itano (whose signature missile barrages are forever associated with the franchise).
Macross: Do You Remember Love? is modern yet nostalgic; ahead of its time but also firmly a product of it. Perhaps no other film captures the youthful energy and cherished motifs of 80s anime so well.
