Meh... weird how Takopii was so ignorant to human relations and just because it turned into Marina-chan it now understands humans in a deeper level.

In this episode, I started feeling less sympathy for Shizuka. Before, she was like sad but pure character. Now something switched and she got manipulative, shiwing twisted personality. Not her fan here.

seeing that Marina, if she had resisted her mother just once, her mother would have given in to the abuse, this is crazy to see, but I'm still not sad about her death, fucking fucked up girl, I'm scared of what will happen to them if Takopi doesn't go back in time

Damn things are really scalating out of hand now. Homeboy falls in love with shizuka becuase she is facinated by how smart he is, thus giving him validation that his own mother doesn't give him, instead gives it to his older brother and now Marina's family on top of that is too much man.

I really don't know how we are going to get ourselfs out of this one. And how the hell is this anime still broadcasting after having such heavy scenes?? I'm not agaisn't it or anything but it weird todays crystal generation hasn't said or tried banning this anime yet.

Of course Azuma likes Shizuka of all people. Plot conveniences sure are a wonderful thing. Same goes for that group of workers conveniently deciding to work in the exact location where Marina was buried.

And of course they would try to justify the psychopathic kid's behaviour smh...

Solid! Even though it is a "basing" kind of episode. It does not stand out like the ones before.

Takopi is finally realizing the fucked up things he been doing
weird how he thought Marina's parents were having normal conversations... at this point, he shouldn't be so oblivious to ppl being angry... he know what this is... anyway, minor weird thing

Azuma have some common sense, but boy, this kid have serious problems with need of validation... his mother seems awful... like, isn't even like he is bad at school (still wouldn't justify the abuse anyway), but he score 95 and still is left without breakfast?? come on woman

and now they found the body... oh boy

Who in this series doesn’t have psychological issues and a dark past? I wouldn’t be surprised if even the dog is secretly suffering and contemplating suicide. These grim plot twists are way too predictable, making it not all that interesting to watch.

This isn't just another run-of-the-mill coming of age story. It's quite the opposite.
In this episode the story really delves into the root of childhood trauma.

The faces of abuse are getting to be many. And the pacing of this sereis is very fast...it doesn't beat around the bush. Makes me wonder what the endgame is here. Hmm...

It's ridicolous how many adults in this series are so terrible.

I like this episode more than the previous ones.

A relatively-light episode compared to the first two; the saddest part is Azuma not getting to eat some pancakes I guess? As well as Marina's mother crying to have her daughter back. Which, brings up a dilemma for Takopi, who wants everyone to be happy. Bro's gonna learn that that's not exactly gonna be easy. Oh and Marina's body has been discovered. Hoo boy what is going to happen next. Again, a less heavy episode, but it must only be the calm before the storm.

This went in a rather different direction then I was expecting. I did not think they would kill the main deuteragonist and keep her dead, and then have an alien take over her body and pretent she's her, while the other characters take it very lightly and come up with a different plan. It's interesting seeing more of the families and their home situations but it's just very different then what I expected. I’m curious where they'll go from here. As always beautiful animation and ye

Nothing too outstanding but great regardless. Loved seeing Naoki become more involved with Shizuka and Takopi.

We really just saw two 9 year olds burrying the corpse of another 9 year old... This anime is just so dark on so many different levels.

I'm starting to think Shizuka isn't as kind hearted as we might think, because she's clearly using Azuma and draggin him to that mess, for her own good. But it's understandable, since he's probably the only thing she has close to a friend.

Now, the thing is, Azuma went there, because he was suspecting Marina was doing something to Shizuka (and that's why he wasn't even that sad for her death, he knew really well what she was capable of). This means that in the other timeline, where Shizuka took her own life, he knew what happened to her, and didn't come to her rescue. Or maybe he was going to do something to help her, but since Takopi gave her that ribbon, his help didn't come in time... It really makes you think that maybe Takopi shouldn't have intervened at all, and the situation would eventually get resolved (although I doubt Azuma would be able to do something in that situation, even if Takopi didn't giver her the ribbon, Shizuka would just find another way).

Anyways, Azuma has the biggest crush on Shizuka, so he does anything for her. In reality, you can just see that he sees in Shizuka someone that appreciates him and aknowledges him, in contrast to his mother, that is constantly comparing Azuma to his older brother, and making him feel like he's not worth anything, because his grades aren't as perfect as his brother's. As expected from this anime, we have yet another child that lives in a toxic environment. Probably not as tragic as Shizuka, but at the same time a much more common situation in real life, especially in the context of Japan. It's unfortunate that Azuma feels some hatred towards his brother, because his brother genuinely seems like a good guy, but their mother is making Azuma turn against him with her actions. And the thing is that Azuma is actually quite smart, and yet that "mother" still makes him feel like he's worth nothing... GIVE HIM THE PANCAKE, HE JUST GOT A 95%.
I'm guessing he realized at the end that stealing his brother's ring wouldn't change a thing, and he just wanted to be accepted by his mother. I wonder what's the matter with his father though.

The episode ended in a dark tone again, when Takopi realized that although Marina was horrible to Shizuka, she still was the daughter of someone. Even if her parents have a toxic relationship, it does seem that they were a happy family before Marina's father started cheating on her mother, hence why Marina hated Shizuka so much. I wonder if Marina's father actually loves her, we actually never saw him deliberatly treat her badly, it seems that her mother is actually more manipulative, as we can see by the end (and also by how episode 1 ended), but I'm not sure if her father cares that much about her either, since the only one that noticed that Marina was different was the mother, even if she takes all her anger on her own kid (the father probably doesn't even know his own child for that). What a messed up family. But it was cute seeing them playing Pokémon (White 2 if I'm seeing that correctly) together, before all this happened. Either way, Marina's father treats Marina's mother badly, and that for sure isn't a good environment for Marina.
Marina was the only thing her mother had, so now she really lost everything.

Now, I wonder what Takopi is going to do. It seems it is finally realizing the damage it caused, and there's still a way for it to rewind back in time, only if he's able to return to his planet.
Marina's body has been found, so that certainly isn't good news for Shizuka and Azuma...

This anime is just so well done honestly, every aspect is executed perfectly, and the storytelling is amazing. It really deserves all the praise it's getting.
It also makes people really reflect about what's happening. For example, now with Marina's death, the truth is that what they did was wrong, but Marina was making Shizuka's life a living hell, to the point she commited suicide, so what really was the way to save Shizuka? Could they really just talk it over, like Takopi wanted, when we know that Marina wants Shizuka and her mother gone, to have her "old family" back?

Edit: Everyone mentioning how Azuma will take the blame, and the truth is that is probably what's going to happen, especially if Shizuka really is manipulating Azuma.
And really, how is it possible for that town to have so many bad parents.
It also seems that Shizuka's father really is alive, and is currently living in Tokyo. But does he really have Chappy?
