| I guess I'm not the only one here who expected far worse regarding Sayu's background, I don't feel the reason was compelling enough, why redirect all that animosity towards her own family? it's like telling me a young girl whose only source of emotional support could be her own home decides to disappear into the world? with NO support whatsoever? that doesn't seem viable, what about the whole problem with her mother? did she just woke up one day and decided she was an unwanted child? asymmetric preference? what led her relationship with her mother to be such a trainwreck to begin with? and oniisan? he seemed like a totally chill guy in my opinion, an affection-starved teenager would probably drift towards that sort of character faster than just deciding to face the hardships of the same world that treated her like s*** a while ago, the whole decision making process is very illogical. Just saying, this is full of weird gaps all over, not liking it very much, considering what the character has been developing into, I expected much more from this level of storytelling, but I guess I set my expectations a bit too high here. Cause hey, most of the characters have been solid in their characterization insofar, even that cardboard "Iwannabeyourgirlfriendbaka" coworker has some kind of weird sense of coherence in her own twisted way of seeing things, but this thing about Sayu, giving her one episode called PAST and chalking it up to an evil mother is kinda gtfo man, it just doesn't correlate well to what we have learned about her as a character up to this point. |
| Soooo... a brother who has some cash just let his sister go... AINT NOBODY BUYING THAT. In short: bullshit. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| This felt rather stupid to me! Sayu has a caring and supportive brother. I assumed nobody in her family cared for her and that was why out of desperation Sayu began selling herself for food and shelter - I thought perhaps she was being abused by brother thus why she'd rather be a whore than to ask for help from her family. Turns out, Sayu's rich brother is a good person and even Sayu herself knows this and they seem to be on good terms. He seems like a guy who could've helped her even as she ran out of money in those two weeks. No doubt, he isn't a guy who wants his sister becoming a plaything to random men just because she ran out of money. In other words, he WOULD'VE continued supporting her in secret even if she refused to come back home after months of running away! AND YET, Sayu chose to basically betray own brother's trust and chose to be a whore instead. And THIS she did because she didn't want to be a bother to him any longer?!! AND YET, for the same exact reason she decided to sleep with every men she met! - Because she didn't want to be a bother to them and felt she had to repay them. This makes NO sense??? Was she probably just too horny? WHY trade own body (and her first-time) to complete strangers, rather than to ask for more help from own F'ing brother who clearly wishes the best for you??? Where are your priorities Sayu??? Where's your pride??? wtf are you doing?! Sayu's brother is also an idiot! Trusting a traumatized teen and letting her go completely on her own. Why not rent an apartment for her somewhere? Did he honestly believe a teen would suddenly become an adult and think rationally? In conclusion, Ogiwara's are a family of retards: the brother, the sister, the mother and I recon the father (who we haven't yet met) is even more dumb than those 3 combined! Sayu should also consider herself lucky none of the men she met were crazy and didn't lock her up even murder her... Truly a stupid girl... |
| it was great I liked the concept and the animation is good too |
 |
| AH yes this episode is literally burnt to my mind as the “C O O M episode” why did they add that into the freaking anime |
 I hope no one I know irl sees my secret account~ Anyways, do I look cute in this outfit?~ |
| What an amazingly stupid show from start to the end. |
sarcasmosrevenge said: In geopolítics therms i mean. They already ceased to exist in geopolitical terms in every practical sense in 1945. But to be fair, most countries have and many lost their raw power and relevance on the world stage even centuries before that. Their power today is in soft power as one of the world's largest economies (still third largest after the U.S. and China) by GDP and as a fountain of art and culture in film and animation, music, cars, electronics, video games, and other technology and consumer goods, including pharmaceuticals. Other than that, they're a U.S. client state and have been for over 75 years, but it isn't due to declining population or aging or anything like that. |
| The mother is kinda the bitch here. |
| Oh wow... the fuck? |

| LOL is the brother retarded? What kind of a brother lets his 16 year old sister (who is a sheltered and spoiled brat) run away on her own when she has gone through a traumatic experience and isn't mentally stable? Not to mention, this dumbshit is the son of a CEO, but instead of making arrangements for her her to stay in a hotel for as long as she needs, he hands her some chump change and sends her off? This moron is worse than the mother. Everything that happened to Sayu between running away and meeting Yoshida is on him. |
| Yeah idk how any adult would hand out money to a minor to live in a hotel for a week. Sayu's past in general was kinda half-assed and perfunctory. |
| This family is fucking dumb as bricks. "ok I know you're traumatized and mom's a cunt but lemme just hand you a few thousand bucks so you can adult for a little while." I don't need to rag on this dude, because the entire thread is doing it, but... what the fuck? Meanwhile Okasan, who is clearly the final boss, is losing her shit because of reporters. Is this what wealthy parenting is like? I have no idea. The bullying theme was irrational, but I've seen enough "teen angst drives youth to suicide" plot points IRL and in fiction to know that teen drama is irrational, so in this case it was handled practically. I don't know what the fuck is going on with the rest of the writing. I have my criticisms, but one selling point of the series thus far is that the characters are all handled like real people. Then the series decides to justify its entire existence with a heaping dose of "everything is despair" anime bullshit. Ok fam. |

| Well, I'm glad that reason was actually good.. Why Sayu left home.. |
| That embrace by Sayu to Yoshida really speaks for itself that he's the one who she trusts at this time, Good thing her brother is that considerate for his little sister Finally she's bringing up her past we now will learn what was the drive to run away from her home, A lot of bullying can really hurt a lot of people involved, Damn that's just too much for Yuuko, This is so heartbreaking man from that drama alone led to a lot of scarring shit happening to Sayu even her own mother actually thought of blaming her daughter in the end what's up with that and Issa's move is not plausible as that lead to what's happened today I wish her the best to recover from this nightmare that lead to her running away the real world is a bitch out there. |
  |
| Understandable to see why Sayu ran away as she not only experienced the traumatic event of best friend Yuuko committing suicide right in front of her but also her shitty excuse of a mother not giving a damn and even putting the blame on her. I got to say the brother is quite the dumbass for just giving 2 weeks of money without knowing where Sayu is going, instead of renting a nearby apartment and checking in on her which would've prevented all those men taking advantage of her. |

| Anime bitch of the year goes to... Sayu's mother! Her brother seems like a genuinely good dude though. Not sure why he couldn't offer to take her in, at least temporarily. |
 |
| Wow, this backstory is stupid and overdramatic. The moment you see this girl you know she's gonna die. And Sayu had all the time in the world to save this idiot, during her like 2-minute long speach. So, i'm gonna kill myself, so you will blame yourself like forever. I'm such a good friend. I could like stop attend the school or stop our friendship whatsoever but no, i'm gonna ruin your life because i like you so much. And of course all these anime roofs are opened the whole day. You can jump whenever you want, please, be our guest. |

| Ahora todo tiene sentido, lo que si no acepto es que el hermano de sayu este deacuerdo en que debe estar lejos de casa un tiempo para pensar las cosas. |
| Main girl is dirty. Starting to not like this show. It's getting progressively worse. White Knight Yoshida is the only guy who doesn't get any action |
 |
| Jesus.... That was.... Heavy... |
 |
| I find it amazing how quickly I grew to like Yuko, how quickly I was heartbroken by her death, and how quickly I hated her mother, incredible work on their part |
| I expected a completely different reaction from her brother. I think it's really crazy how everyone so quickly accepts that Sayu lives there, it's almost strange. |
| For those who cuss at Sayu's brother, you need to remember that he was raised by the same b*tch (their mother), maybe the only thing that he could think of was to provide Sayu with money. Also, another factor is that if Sayu's brother provided Sayu with some sort of temporary house, just remember that their mother would do anything to get Sayu back, and that probably wouldn't give Sayu the freedom feeling. So yeah, the very root of this "stupid" story was that old b*tch. Not to mention, the girls in Sayu's school who think that they're better than anyone else. |
| As always those fcking bullies... I wonder what's running on their fcked up mind, why they bully etc... |
| I guess her backstory involving bullying surprised nobody. And her brother actually helped her to run away? That was quite a weird plan. |
| So her rich brother that seemed more supportive of her won't provide a small place for her to stay and collect her thoughts, instead give her some huge allowance and tell her to go do whatever. Lmao, huge blunder by the author since no real brother, rich or not, would ever leave his little sister alone like that. |
 |
| Her mother was being plain selfish, I agree that they simply need time away from each other until her mother cools down since she's letting the stress get the better of her. Sayu still had her brother. She should have negotiated with him from the start, maybe he'd be willing to hook her up with a place to stay, or stay with him for a longer period of time. She should've opened up to him more, he seems like a kind brother, and I'm sure he would've thought of something. Sayu TRULY doesn't understand her own worth. |

| I'm really glad that her brother was nice and supporting! Better than what I feared! |
