I have been spending the last few days bingeing on Cowboy Bebop (currently on Netflix). What a delight!
In Session #23: Brain Scratch, Spike comes across a tower of televisions. The image reminded me of something, and I couldn’t for the life of me remember where I’d seen it. Brazil? Serenity?
I appeal to the masses: Has a tower of televisions (moniters, video screens, whatever) like this featured in any film you can remember?
(My apologies if the image doesn’t show – I just can’t figure out how posting images works.)

Not a tower exactly but The Man who Fell to Earth watched a load of tellies all at once.
The artist Nam Jun Paik is famous for installations featuring towers of television or multiple televisions – I live the TV dog and the buddha watching TV (just google him and look at the images.)
Didn’t the Tubes used to have stage set which was a wall of televisions?
I’m interested that you are watching an anime show that is almost 20 years old. Taking a quick look, I can understand why.
