too bad they didn’t adapt that manga panel where Marina was kicked in the guts from Takopi. But well, it was censored and switched with the happy camera hit even in the manga. Kinda wanted to see it animated.
Amazing episode again

The black screen with the noise of it hitting her, that's when it hit me when I realized it sounded a bit too rough to be just a knockout hit. Amazing episode, really took me off guard! I feel a bit sick though.🥲The absent parents were the ones who let it get to this point, so it feels heartbreaking.

Welp, Marina died. It's kinda uncomfortable people are happy she's dead, and I can understand why at least, but is no one gonna talk about her piece of sh*t dad and Shizkuka's mom? In my opinion those two are the real villains of the story.
Good episode once again. I'm excited to see where we go from here. 5/5

Bro that’s what I’m saying!!! It is so freaking disturbing and psychotic that people are celebrating a child dying
@Willhelm23 Do they realize *WHO* is going to be blamed for this? Believe me, it will the outcast girl. Having suffered bullying for being different in Middle School, even self-defense isn't allowed in the eyes of most adults. Been there. Done that. Her life will get WORSE.

This episode board got dark, rather quickly.
Not a manga reader (yet) but really interested where they're going with this and what exactly is the overarching message that the author intends to get across. The first two episodes have been extremely compelling and haven't shied away from anything. I'm hoping that's not entirely the end of Marina, as I definitely think there's stuff to work through with her character and her misplaced anger and powerlessness. But, we'll have to see where they are in fact going.

Ok Marina is dead. Killed by Takopi's happy camera and now there's no more do overs...

Well with Marina dead it's only going to be happiness from here right? Pure happiness to make up for all the pain right?

Anyway, at least Shizuka is the happiest we've seen her so far. Takopi you did it! It might not've been the way you intended but using your happy gadget you made Shizuka very happy with a wide smile.

If One thinks that this abuse and bullying is fictional they would be wrong.
This is real shit that goes on everyday in every neighbourhood probably.

But I've seen much worse bullying and child abuse in Japanese live-action drama.. Also I've noticed the recurring theme that it's always the mother who abuser and the father is the one who leaves the family..
In the my wife is a grade schooler, it was also the mother w who was abusive, likewise in Erased.

I think they toned it down for the anime, cutting off abuse Marina-chain get from her mother or Shizuka gets from her mother and also cut off Shizuka's mother only caring about men and sex and whoring often abusing Shizuka and not feeding her.

That's it. That's the show. Thank for watching.

Nope. This is where the real fucked up part begins. The worst part about bullying is not the bully itself, it's the fact that the victim has their hands tied by the system that enables this shit in the first place.

@Kkkaptain Yes, it was pretty much a misery-porn at one point and it doesn't help that her whole struggle is shown through the eyes of this "cutesy" pink blob. In spite of those things I wouldn't say I dislike it and the seemingly irreversible murder and her reaction to it was actually an interesting turn of events.

@RainyEvenings Yep, japanese movies about bullying like River's Edge or All About Lilly Chou-Chou, can be extremely brutal. Child abuse, which in japanese movies is mostly about abusing mothers, actually is even a more frequent theme, I have seen almost a dozen of them. Interestingly, just like you too said, abusing fathers are more rare in japanese cinema.

Amazing ep once again

While I thought that Shizuka was finally safe, Marina has other plans as she makes it a life goal to find her and Chappy on day 6.

Having to see Shizuka lose Chappy so many times wasn't fun as she lost the last thing that was precious to her.

Sure, Takopi does his all to help, but he is simply too stupid to comprehend some things, which leads to destroying Shizuka's life more. POV shots and animation was great.

We even meet the mother and Shizuka's father more clearly. The mother is seriously a bum and the father is worse than trash, as he is the root of it all for not staying solid. But, at the same time, the mother is guilty as much. Even, Marina who is brainwashed to the core, thinks that the Shizuka's mother is at fault, when it's really her father. Ignorant asf.

Takopi is too much of a wuss to watch Shizuka get beat up again, but surprisingly, he kills Marina with the camera. This becomes Takopi's original sin and now the camera is broken, along with time travel now being out of the equation.

Just thought that was really cool, and the events that happened in 7 days. Who know what will happen later.

Could we call this retribution in a sense, tho Shizuka didn't do it, but got her "wish".

Now, day 7 can start on a good note, I hope. Marina was left there and there's a high chance that we will see Shizuka either in jail or in questioning bc of prior reasons. Mind u, Takopi can't be seen unless he removes his flower. Really stoked to see how this story moves on from now.

After watching some reaction videos, some comments arose that made TOO much sense. Takopi’s original sin was not listening to his mother about the rules of the happy gadgets, similarity in the Bible, God’s first children, Adam and Eve didn’t listen to God when they were told not to eat from the tree of knowledge. Takopi’s second sin was killing Marina with the camera, while the Bible has Cain, who killed Abel with a rock.

Insane episode. Why is no one talking about Shizuka being very happy? Like yes, it would make sense since the person she hates the most is gone, but a fking person just died. I wouldn't be mentally well if a person died in front of me even if it is the person I hate. Maybe it's just me but I would be traumatized, especially if I was her age. I guess Shizuka is kind of messed up herself. Now I'm curious about the next episode.

That was just so twisted, or is it my humor that's twisted mehn. The episode was so dark, but that moment made me laugh as Takopi finally understood the gravity of his actions and Shizuka smiling like 💀

@DJLEGEND
I mean, why wouldn’t she be happy? Imagine your life is constantly tormented by this one thing for years and finally this source of torment is gone. It seems pretty understandable to me, especially putting myself in her shoes. But I can understand why from an outside perspective it can be perceived that way too.

Last time I cheered about a kid dying in fiction was watching the Sonic 3 movie. Good riddance Marina, if you ever come back somehow, I hope you become better.

I couldn’t help but laugh at that ending. It felt extremely satisfying as I personally was also wishing for Marina to end up killed, or at least gone. That being said though, my logical brain can’t help but realize that that was a horrible solution to the problem. Marina herself was just a child and she’s the product of her environment as well. Yes she was a horrific human who most likely deserved what she got, but like Thorfinn would say, there’s always another way. So although satisfactory, it’s not the best outcome, and I can’t wait to see how the story addresses this turn of events. I guess that’s what makes it such an intriguing story. I’m almost tempted to go read the manga but I’ll try to exercise patience lol.

The real story finally begins.

I hope the director can stick it out to the end. This series really needs to have its tones juggled expertly for it to work later on without feeling so dissonant that it falls flat or comes off as comedic. Looking forward to the rest of the adaptation.

This feels like Steins;Gate a bit, and I'm not complaining since Steins;Gate is my best anime.

Well damn, this took another unexpected twist, my poor innocent Shizuka is slowly turning into a psychopath, please don't, it was hard seeing her lashing out like that and happy about having that other crazy little bitch dead.

Takopii messed up big time. Why did you have to hit her with the camera? Couldn't you hit her with a rock instead? lol, now the camera is broken and you can't rewind time anymore, well shit, this unexpected twist is something that I wouldn't have guessed and took me by surprise. Please fix that camera ASAP, stop being invisible, and give that camera to a specialist so they can fix it somehow. And how on earth is the specialist going to fix a magical camera with a completely different mechanism in it? no idea, but they have to fix it somehow, that timeline is already fucked!

Another amazing episode, goddamn.

It’s pretty well adapted, maybe around 99%. There are a few things that aren’t necessarily essential, but still feel like they’re missing. For example, the fact that Takoppi tried to rewind

it'll probably be explored in the next episodes, but i don't really care for her immediate excitement after marina is killed (if she even is dead; doubt it tbh) she absolutely tortured shizuka day in and day out, so understandably, you'd feel happy that kind of person is out of your life, but (and maybe i'm misinterpreting her character) i feel like murder is something you contemplate the repercussions of, ykwim?
