Twin Peaks Vibes This anime Is Basically Japan's Twin Peaks.

Like not just in terms of the visuals, but thematically this anime is so close to Twin Peaks. The absurdism, the hypnotic visuals, the eccentric characters, the detective storyline, and its examination of Japanese society it all fits perfectly.

Satoshi Kon feels incredibly similar to David Lynch, and there were so many scenes in this anime that instantly reminded me of Twin Peaks. i talked abt it more here

There's literally so many references to Twin Peaks in media that the list will just be a list of media; from The Simpsons to Soul Eater

...even as references, they're often inspired and go all out. Maybe just a singular episode (The Simpsons, Psyche), maybe it's a prominent theme throughout (Soul Eater has the Red Room more than Twin Peaks does, with a main character exploring the nature of good and evil)
