okay so idk what meta is but listen THE DIRECTION ON DEAD BOY DETECTIVES IS FUCKING SUPERB. UNRIVALLED. AND I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT TO THE HELLSITE VOID. SO LISTEN.
transitions. between scenes. it's so easy to cross-fade, or just hard cut, or fade to black and then open the next scene. sometimes, if a piece of media is putting in a bit of effort, you'll see things like water transitioning to sky or maybe a background being continuous while the characters change or vice versa.
but dead boy detectives. the transitions are fucking flawless. and so creative, like everything about this show. creative transitions are difficult to do, and they keep getting it right. whether it's someone holding up a circle and that melds into the next scene where the railing has a circle in it, or the camera moving downwards from the floor in one location to under a table in a different location, or them falling out of mirrors, they take the tiniest of elements and turn them into transitions so fucking deliciously, and everything is so dynamic, both the camera and the scene.
and that makes it so much more impactful when there IS a hard cut. like in episode 5 (where the You Know What occurs with Jenny). the cut from the mascot at the high school scene to the butcher's shop is BRUTALLY hard, with Jenny again slicing into things with her meat cleaver, and it lends an extra air of violence to that meat cleaver--which is such great foreshadowing for what happens later (even the initial establishing shot of the butcher's shop at the start of the episode makes the cleaver in the sign flash red, drawing attention to it).
the direction helps the narrative so much, giving both atmosphere and foreshadowing without needing to fatten the dialogue with it.
and apart from all that just the general camerawork is so creative and helps with the campy feel of the show, with characters being bang in the middle of frames or with the camera holding a lovely shot for longer than a beat like Edwin and Niko cocking their heads to the side it's all such a lovely, choreographed dance between the camera, the actors, the set and the script and NGKKK.

I'm gonna say it here too. Allow me to be crystal fucking clear.
It is not cowardly to stay in the closet. Full stop. You do not owe anyone any part of yourself you aren't ready to share
If you unable to come out because you fear for your safety or well-being or because you know it will cause you substantial discomfort, that is not a defect in you. It's a failure of the society in which you live and the community surrounding you.
If you just don't want to share that part of yourself, that is valid and I support you

It is very Edwin, but I really REALLY want people to start headcanoning Charles as playing as many instruments as possible too.
Never let that boy escape the Orpheus accusations.
I love how we’ve all just collectively agreed in the DBDA fandom that Edwin plays piano

I love the detail in episode 7 of both Edwin and Charles being completely caught off guard by their own reflections.
Ghosts don't appear in mirrors. You can't take pictures of them - Charles hasn't seen his own face in over 30 years, Edwin over 100.
Truely one of the biggest "It's you. Despite everything It's still you," moments and I love it so much.

Alternatively, he and Edwin went to go see it together, AND they didn't have to pay for tickets because they're ghosts. Edwin totally did not understand ANYTHING, but Charles was amazed by the idea of time travelling to 2015.
He also DEFINITELY forced Edwin to watch it again in 2015 because "We're actually in the future now!!!"

Charles definitely had a back to the future phase when he first watched it in 1985

the problem isn't just that media literacy is slowly becoming a dying art. it's that people straight up do not pay attention when they watch tv/film anymore.

If you alternate skipping days to no skipping days, it feels like you're constantly on the verge of either a breakdown or MEGA discovery
Why are there like 5 daily chores where if you skip them for 2 days your life becomes a time based psychological thriller after
