I had to return to this episode recently as I was reading the book "Life Ceremony" Sayaka Murata. Not knowing what exactly I signed up for reading the book, when the first short story opened with the main character wearing a sweater of human hair, I instantly thought of this episode! I was like wow this is so cool they know about this. The story then takes a more surreal turn with all the most expensive and high quality products in this world being made from human materials. They talk about bone tables or engagement rings. In the context of the world of the book, this is simply what is done with bodies after they die. The whole book is rather disturbing and bizzare and a bit introspective too, but I think it was quite funny how unprepared I was for the turn it would take because this episode had me less weirded out by the idea of human hair clothes then I might've otherwise

YES! I loved that story! Sadly I also read it after we made the episode, otherwise I would have loved to include some of it. But its so good right?
