Oryx and Crake was perphaps one of the most confusing stories ever. Sometimes I thought, is this real life? Is this our time? Is this the future? Is this another universe? Certain demeanors were familiar and certain things seemed barbaric and alien to me. Jimmy seemed pretty human...at least he had a human boys name...and he was interested in born and girls (specifically Oryx). Crake is in a relationship with Oryx before Jimmy though...love triangles man.
Anyways, a disease breaks out after Jimmy began working for Crake. Crake doesn't like the Crakers, and he becomes enraged when he sees Jimmy locked up with them and Oryx. He slits Oryx's throat, thus causing Jimmy to shoot Crake. Jimmy then becomes responsible for taking care of the Crakers.
It was the weirdest story ever. And I pictured the Crakers as little moon people sheep made out of cheese.
...I can't think of any anime that this is similar to this story for once.
The Aquatic Uncle was probably even more weird though. Long story short, lil' dino-kun fell in love with furry-chan and then he introduced furry-chan to his uncle, aquatic-ojiisan. Furry-chan falls in loe with aqautic-ojiisan and leaves dino-kun. The end.
Both stories were so anime in terms of the love triangles and yandere feelings...but the subjects were so different from the norm that it was hard to truly envision the story in my head.
