"if you don't fall in love, you won't get hurt" pretty simple but still have a point |
 |
| in the beginning its so funny XD sato writing misaki's name in his scenario XD in the middle well it is going more interesting... looks like sato's feeling for misaki getting bigger.. :3 and in the end.. bro I know you dont know anything about her, but at last.. dont leave hear you bastard! -_- dont say that to her -_- damn I was suprised when he really said that -_- ahh this hikikomori -_- *facepalm looking forward to next episode :3 |

| Aawww, poor Misaki. Even if she was coming off as kind of suspicious, she really seemed like she just wanted to be friends with Sato. Feel so bad for her. |
| That episode was painful to watch, but it was really really good. Every time Satou make one step ahead, he make two step back. Yamazaki is such a bad influence, though I can't really blame him. He was drunk and just had a bad experiance. It's true that Misaki is really strange. She surely is a stalker or something like this. Though, I don't think she's a bad person, I just think she have a lot of problem. The true problem of Satou is not that he is an hikimori, he is an hikimori because of his fear of conspiration, his paranoia. If he could overcome is paranoia, which was surely influenced by his sempai, he could surely unchain himself. I think that Misaki hasn't understood that yet. |

| DAMN YOU SATOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| lol "that's the exact opposite of what you said yesterday" Hiis reaction in the beginning was really funny xD LOL His mistake with putting Misaki-chan in this game xD lol this duo is just so funny I guess there's progress though since he's counting down the hours of when he can meet with Misaki (curing his Hikikomori) the "Meow" was really cute though Also liked how he stopped smoking That OST is so trippy xD it gives such a chilling vibe o.o The OST that played when he started to doubt Misaki With all his "it's a conspiracy" theories... really makes me think he has Chuunibyou lol the duo-stalking was so creepy xD LOL she had a bird's eye view of everything? XD I wonder what else she saw... like when he was playing all those galges... xD Talking alien furniture comes back~~ Hikikomori incarnate! So... unless he can talk about to these... furniture... things... he can't move forward? :O Anyways... does that mean he has to pay the fine? lol jk Damn... that ending was depressing ._. He actually left her behind? >:O |

| That was very painful to watch... I hope Misaki doesn't give up on helping Sato. |

| Listening to talking furniture is the right and sane thing to do. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| dam. super illuminati. much conspiracy. but living plain view of him and knowing that much about him is sus |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Actually he would be dumb not to run away from her. From the start I felt like she was a stalker.. he doesn't know anything about her too. It's weird for him to sign a contract with someone you never met before in the first place. Te talking furniture is funny lol. |
| Poor Misaki :( She looked so sad. |
| I don't blame him, he hardly knows anything about her. That walk with Yamazaki pretty much increased his chances that Misaki is probably an NHK person or in a clan. As for Misaki, I feel bad for her. From her POV she is trying to help him but Sato's thinking process is well, filled with conspiracies; |
 |
| I blame Yamazaki for filling his already fucked up head with more fucked up stuff I wonder how this is going to play out need to watch next can't stop !! |
 |
then said: He needs to change his furniture |
| This episode was excellent. It portrays the heavy blow left behind by Satou's seeming obsession with his senpai back in his school days, and how twisted his ideals of reality has become all because of her. His mental block; his highly cynical and suspicious view of others in turn act as repercussions to his outlook on society, and how it resulted into him becoming a hikikomori. Had he face the problems straight on, like how he was younger and how he was innocent back then. He actually still have a shred of that innocence remaining, but his mother denied it back then, which in fact act as a 'backstab' of sort, resulting into this desperate of an outcome. Ironically, his senpai did not end well either. On drugs, and 'suggestably' selling her body... Well, the show's not even half-done. We'll get to see how events unfold. 5/5. This anime is a work of psychology. Hits right in the spot for me (I have an interest for psychoanalysis and human philosophy) |

bloodiemonster said: I blame Yamazaki for filling his already fucked up head with more fucked up stuff I would push the blame more to Kashiwa. In the end, Yamazaki was just swayed away by the different situations imposed on him, due to his flimsy personality and indecisiveness. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding. |
| This was easily my least favorite episode so far, but the comments in this thread made it worth it. lmfao y'all forgetting she's been spying on him and stalking him for God knows how long, though. I'd be pretty freaked out too. Freaked out enough to do what he did and not even bother talking to her about it? Nah, probably not, but this was entirely within his character, as others have said. He was faced with a concerning, troubling issue that made him unsure of the trust he had with Misaki; compound this with the blossoming romantic feelings he had for her, his chance of his paranoia over her increases multi-fold, even without finding out she's been essentially stalking him. And, honestly, how many of you have distanced yourself from someone you care about because you're terrified of getting hurt? If you've been in a romantic relationship, you very well might have some idea of what it feels like. You just don't need hallucinations of talking furniture to be led to the conclusion because you can think about it yourself. However, are these hallucinations not Satou's method of contemplating issues with own paranoid mind? Hardly. |

| Satou's furniture is scary. O___o Anyway... I understand him, but I also understand Misaki. That's why I think I know where this is going. Hehe |

 |
| Oh great. It's starting to turn into emotional torture porn now. >_< And there's 14 more episodes... |
| Eeeeh this started off weak and is even getting worse O_O |
| Really feel for Satou when he was all like "Shit, I should've bought her cotton candy!" |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Satou really needs to be less paranoid |
 |
Decadent said: Still laughing at him putting the blanket on Yamazaki's head instead of putting him on the bed properly... this lmao loving this show rn |
| I'm starting to feel that Sato is dumb..It was interesting to see the paranoid thoughts in his mind. Poor Misaki. Great Episode. |
| Damn Misaki is actually pretty creepy with what you learn in this episode, I can completely understand why Satou would act like that. |
 |
| There is matter to be paranoic since he don't know shit about her but he has a pretty messed up mind, i knew everything was going too well the last few episode ! |
| Oh man, the plot thickens... poor Misaki.... |
 |
| Interesting new information on Misaki. Kinda weird to know that she was able to see EVERYTHING he's done since Satou lived there. |
 |
| I'm so glad this is shaping up to be more than just a romance show. Sato seems to suffer from some form of paranoid schizophrenia. Or, there really is a conspiracy of some sort. Or, she has been watching him from her house and fell in love with him and that's why she approached him in the first place.....lots of possibilities. Awesome! |
 |
on 
| I swear 99% of the people on this thread are complete fuckin retards. The bitch have been LITERALLY stalking him 24/7 for months, maybe even years. and she knows way too much info about him. oh right i forgot stalking someone is only creepy when a guy does it. |
| i fell in love with misaki when she was talking to the cat and said "nyan~" >_< and hmm. i can see where hes coming from and him being paranoid and all, this makes sense. it would b OOC of him if this didn't happen |
 |
| Ohhh Misaki takes centre stage in Sato's mind. Knew she's not as normal as it seems though haha but still not many questions answered. Like can you imagine stalking someone for a long time and be like "Oh blood type A from Hokkaido" lmao. Also, it's cool to see 'romance' from a guy's perspective once in a while but I want more conspiracy, more talking furniture pls |
| Poor Yamazaki seems like he's used to it by now... Also, Satou finally broke their relationship. |
 |
ASHGARY said: I actually think it was a good turn, because Satou remained very true to his character: paranoid and anal. And, we see his trust issues haven't just evaporated. Amen. I'm kind of relieved, actually. And Yamazaki hasn't changed at all, either, apparently. I want them to change, but they have a lot of work to do until that can happen. "As long as I'm giving it what it wants, I'm sure it will remember me." I wonder what this scene was really about. Does the cat represent Satou? Nah, probably not. I really enjoyed the dream with weapons-for-arms Misaki. But seriously, she's even more of an enigma than before. |

| Satou!!!!!! I know that Misaki is a bit weird and she has obviously stalked you, but she is a nice girl. |
 |
| Wow that was a pretty heavy episode, I felt like I was watching for hours and I loved every moment of it. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| All these people who feel bad for Misaki or thinks it's "too harsh" or "what an idiot." Like. No. Do you not realize how creepy Misaki is??? She knows every little detail about Satou, has even met his mother, doesn't tell him ANY INFORMATION about herself, is the only random stranger who ever paid attention to him and offered to help him and be all nice to him, and he just found out she can literally SEE EVERYTHING he does and where he goes. Like WTF???? OF COURSE ain't nobody gon trust a bitch like that. Maybe that wasn't the best approach, but remember that he has very little experience with social interactions. That was his best solution at the moment-- to run away. So no, don't feel bad for Misaki. It was her fault in the first place for being so secretive. In the real world, you can't just trust anyone and everyone. Plot twist and say this was a guy who appeared all sketchy in the middle of the night and approached the girl offering to help her. I wonder how many of y'all would be weary by then. |
| so he got the craziness get the best of him...but he's got a point, she's been stalking him creeper style 5/5 anyway, i'm enjoying this way too much lol |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Asshole that definitely was the wrong thing ahh. |
| Yamazaki's attitude sure changed fast after going to see the fireworks with that girl. What happened to them all being dirty whores? "I don't know why she's helping me or if she's helping me." She's clearly helping you, Sato...you've gone outside more in the past few days than the entire year beforehand. The talking objects are by far the worst characters. Poor Misaki looked so hurt by Sato's outburst...I mean, clearly, since we're only on episode 10 this won't be permanent...right? Sato had no rational evidence against her, other than the voices of his mental illness telling him that the world is scary and everyone wants to hurt him. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| this anime is improving |
| :v |
| I really like how they portray thought spirals in this anime. I think anyone who has cut themselves off from the world -- hikikomori or not -- realizes how bad your thoughts can consume you. Even if you know it's completely batshit, the suspicion and cynical thoughts completely blind any rationality and social skills. |

Cogsworth said: Gaaah, you people aren't putting yourselves in his shoes. From personal experience, Satou's reason for doing this stems not only from his distrust of her but also from all the changes that have been going on in his life. Remember, he's been like this for almost FOUR YEARS. It must be extremely stressful for someone like him to do all of this in just a few months. To him, breaking off the deal is not only a sort of insurance against getting betrayed, but it's also a way for him to escape from everything and alleviate the stress that's been put on him. Remember what a hikikkimori IS. Doing something like this is completely within their nature; when things get tough, hole up in your house. Yep, my thoughts exactly. Good post. |
