| Ah shit, now I'm scared about what happened to the mom... |
 |
| Damn some of the writing has really disappointed me in this middle bit, with certain set-ups (like the exact cause of the discord between Satou and Misaki, and just what Misaki originally did so wrong (other than her house being on a hill, and her witholding information about herself--which Satou already knew) that warranted all the following, or Satou weirdly raising his fist for some forced reason--despite that mannerism/reaction not fitting his character at all--just to set up a part of Misaki's character, and then doing it repeatedly like three times--after seeing the obviously terrible reaction it caused from her...) and conclusions (an offer of marriage really being the/a great answer to Hitomi's obviously very deep-rooted issues, or the way too simply-written and cliché turnarounds for the other suicidal characters) really rubbing me the wrong way. Can't help be sad that this didn't keep as perfect as it started for me, but that's an unfair expectation I guess. :( The comedy still worked though (dark comedy is always great, and this "group suicide" arc reminded me a lot of the similarly hilarious one in Paranoia Agent), and while the overall execution of this arc let me down, I did still very much appreciate its themes and ideas, and I had no issue with the core plot points themselves. Oh and it ended pretty nicely too. Hoping it picks back up from these 4 or so episodes though. I really want this show to become a favourite for me, because it definitely can. |

| This is the end of a depressing arc, everyone gets to go back to their life, better than the life they live before this incident. Parents coming to an understanding and long gone family giving yet another chance of getting back together. All is well... Except for Sato, nothing really changed. EXCEPT! He got a valuable understanding about Misaki. She's hiding her past, a past which made her cower in fear if she ever saw a fist being raised above herself. Some form of PTSD maybe? Well, at the very least, Sato is back home... If I heard that right, isn't that alarm on Sato's mother's side sound a lot like an earthquake/tsunami alarm? Well, that's for another ep, an ep by the name 'Welcome to Reality' A realm harsher than 'Paradise' |

| Another powerful episode. Hitomi's boyfriend was very awesome and generous. He was a true MVP of this episode. Satou acted like an asshole towards mostly Yamazaki but Misaki as well to be honest. Misaki, as expected, also suffers from mental problems. She must've had really bad memories, that's why she started to panic when Satou raised his handStand. Maybe she was a victim of domestic abuse? My main problem with this episode is that everything ended so well and idealistic that it might be called as unrealistic garbage. I wish many people who oar won a verge of committing suicide had opportunity to not only change their decision, but meet a good person and be able to witness the change in their life right after deciding simply to keep being alive and just live on. That last scene was kinda mysterious and grim. |

| Okay , the anime seems completely ruined right now , can we go back to the time it wasn't all about cheap drama? |
| I hate everyone equally |
| Nice to see a happy ending after all that suicide bullshit, but it seems like things are worse for Sato now than they were before. He now lost Hitomi, how sad. |
 |
| Poor Misaki she must been hardly abused since a little Must Protect Her at All Cost |

| Fucking cheap cliffhanger! They better have a good reason for Misaki's mysteriousness. |
 |
| I think that they pushed it too far with the happy ending for the rest of the off meeting people. It felt unrealistic. But it makes you feel bad for Sato as he didn't really have a fallback like the rest of them. He's the one who felt lonely. That bg music amplified that feeling. It's odd how Sato immediately forgave Hitomi but he almost hits Misaki. Honestly both Hitomi and Misaki's apologies didn't feel that genuine to me. Misaki's reason for being mysterious better be a good one.(she definitely has a traumatic past). Right after the suicide arc there's a mmorpg arc which could go wrong in all kinds of ways. I hope Sato's mom is alright. |

| My man can't catch a break |
| another cliffhanger. well yamazaki's comicon lol rip. also misaki has like abusive parents or sommething. the floorcleaner was rude but pretty insightful. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| this ep made the last one feel a lot better had a few tears in my eyes towards the end nice episodee |
 |
| What happened? Wtf happened??? |

| The moment we see Satou get mad and about to hit on Misaki, we see how she gets startled and afraid. We can now see more about her character, and it seems she must have had some trauma from child abuse when she was younger. This could explain why she said such a statement to Satou in the last episode. It's possible her lectures are not just to help him, but herself as well. Also, shoutout to the janitor explaining to them when they returned from the island that one is an idiot when wanting to throw away the lives their parents have created and that such idiots would end up in hell. This man was really spitting facts, and I'm glad he gave out his speech on how suicide doesn't just affect themselves but the many surroundings as well. I'm also glad to see the old guy reunite with his kid, saying his mother wants to start things over. This just shows that even at your lowest point, you can't give up and end yourself. You never know what great changes could eventually happen to you. I also liked the small moment when Satou went to Misaki at the park for her to say she's glad he's back home and feels the same way. But... DANG! THE CLIFFHANGER THOUGH!!! ALLOWANCE CUT IN HALF!!!! :O |
Yes, I still have candies since I'm sugar addicted:    |
| Why was Sato about to hit Misaki multiple times? That was crazy. I wonder if her grandmother/aunt/mom or whoever she's usually with physically abuses her bc that isn't a very common reaction. Rough that no one from Sato's family went to go see him. Yamazaki is also a dick for blaming Sato about the failure of the games sold, which doesn't make sense because he woke up past noon. At the beach everyone was like we should be grateful to Sato bc he saved our lives, but the doctor failure project was like I'm never gonna see you again instead of being like we are friends now. I hope his mom is okay bc he's already been through so much |
 This never updates so that's cool |
