funny enough, despite having seen those both and being really anime-brained, i actually didn't consider those as subconscious sources of inspiration! i knew i'd seen TV towers in more than just nier automata and persona 4 >:3 but yea i like to remark on that in the west we often depict CRT TV walls in a neat little order, but the japanese equivalent are these pyramids of disparate shitty screens. i was very much trying to utilize the trope in a meaningful way, since in most instances they're more just aesthetic set pieces and don't actually tie into the story much.
