| man this anime really loves to send you for loops doesnt it. man i really like Junya, he sticks out to me, especially as someone who is also the eldest sibling. i have to change a bit should i. honestly i still like Shizuka-chan, even though she's very manipulative, maybe that says something about me but, idk i'm glad everything worked out. and the whole perfectionism arc with azuma-kun i believe his name is, very excellent!! |
| This is so fucked up, holy shit. But it's so good as well, the animation was amazing in this episode. Also the older brother might be the only decent person in this whole show. Naoki as well I suppose. But not Shikuza, her mind's long gone it seems. |
| Welp, the news has finally gone out of Marina's disappearance and her dead body found by people, and of all the people worried about this, it's Azuma since he's the intelligent one to risk himself, Shizuka and Takopi getting found out of their reckless act. Regardless, Azuma still being tempted by Shizuka to travel to Tokyo, and the misdemeanor almost being found out by his older brother Junya, amidst allegations of Shizuka being involved in the senseless affair since she has always been Marina's target of bullying, it only makes sense that way. Yet, for Azuma's desperation to start feeling like Shizuka and being ignored by his own mother for failing to meet her expectations, they're now both peas in the same pod...or rather, Shizuka wants Azuma to take the rap for killing Marina. However, looking at the happy Azuma family, while Junya's prodigy sets the standard for the family, Azuma has no choice but to follow in his footsteps, and not even hs delinquency got in the way of achieving the same high standards that the younger brother would have dreamed of achieving similar results. The thing is, the bullying affair between Shizuka and Marina having been severe enough, his idea of reaching out to the former (just because she looked like his mother) only got worse by the time Shizuka managed to charm him with her manipulative innocence that ended up scarring and dirtying his hands instead. And while Junya is always there for him to hear his worries, the perfect prodigy sibling still has a heart for his younger brother to listen without prejudice. With or without Naoki, Shizuka is dead set on Tokyo with Takopi, and what adventures will they find in the city? |

| Nah... a wholesome and heartfelt interaction between human beings in my misery porn anime? It can't be. 10/10 visuals tho. |
| How harsh expectations and comparisons can inflict on children 101 Though, I'm glad his brother was there for him, in all seriousness. |
| Azuma's mother is totally a perfectionist. |
| That was some outstanding direction and animation. Really conveyed the pressure weighing down on Azuma and the territory that came with “only” being second best. A gifted child, but not quite as gifted as his brother. When you’re used to extraordinary, “perfect” results, anything just below doesn’t cut it. Great, great work. |
| It's a great animation, but the story is at bad levels of writing. I can't believe she told him to go to the police and take the blame. Why would I should care for Shizuka after this? |
 |
| Was expecting Azuma to be dragged down with Shizuka, that with her he would enter a dark part of his life, if not the end of his life. Was expecting a reveal that Junya would be just as cruel as their mother, if not more so. But no... Junya saves his little brother from the brink of destruction. This episode was a ray of hope in this dark world. Now to Shizuka: RUN |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| never would've ever thought in a million years that shizuka would become manipulative, and oh my god azuma's backstory and family sitaution.. . .. |
