To Your Eternity
| I don't like how the author is playing with our feelings or he just doesn't care about his audience's feelings at all.When March died I felt really sad but then Fushi transforms into her which makes it even worse.Even though some may argue he carries on the dead's wish I feel like the author is using the character's death for Fushi's own sake and development and not to carry the dead's wish. The Author also played with Gugu's death.In a certain episode it felt like he was literally about to die but when Rynn came he suddenly woke and I was getting frustrated and episode 11 literally confirmed(at least to me) that the author doesn't care about his audience's feelings at all.When Rynn and Gugu were finally able to get together "The Shock Factor" came in which is one of the biggest reason for the score to drop.(Not that I hate the series or anything) The Anime made it even worse.March dies in episode 5(I think) and in the beginning of episode 6 it starts with March dying right off the bat like it doesn't even respect any of the characters. I don't think the Author will back off now and will continue to play with our feelings.So from now on I'm not gonna get attached to any of the characters and it's better if you do to. What are your personal issues with the series? |

| The author likes to play with its characters as a toy rather than just actual human being, They only served one purpose in most of the story. It is to become a replica so Fushi could copy them on physical sense. All of them are one dimensional so it is easy to make their replica. Secondly what is the purpose of these knockers to begin with? If they are really impose a threat to Fushi , why wait for 4 years ? The author seems like to make us know the cast then kill them off. There is no literal sense of attachment to the characters at all if they only to be killed later on. |

Scordolo said: My main point was why even let us get attached to the characters if the author plans to kill them right off the bat? I think it's a message being conveyed through this story, that nothing lasts forever. Humans are not eternal, nor immortal. Fushi absorbs experiences, emotions, thoughts throughout his travels. It felt inevitable that some sort of tragedy would happen again considering Fushi hasn't moved away in 4 years and has been content. I'm starting to think that creator of his might be involved with creating those nokker enemies too, in order to motivate Fushi to continue to move around. But we'll see |

| Well yeah, hope its not repetitive like this anymore. It will be just another bad tearjerker type show than. |
 |
| So far it's been like that. But considering how much Fushi has grown. I think the author might do something to improve his character growth. Yeah, if this keeps up. It's gonna get repetitive. I hope they let us know the purpose of knockers and work their way towards the plot. Or else this will end up shallow like how Vivy did by focusing only on mini arcs and shock factor. |
| I think you may be misinterpreting the core message of the show. Remember that one meme quote that goes along the lines of, "Maybe the 4.0 GPA was the friends we made along the way"? Yeah, the same idea applies to Fumetsu no Anata e. The uniqueness of the story isn't necessarily the destination, but rather the journey as they say. Yes, it's heartbreaking that beloved characters we meet during Fushi's journey end up dying, but it's the new emotions and interactions Fushi experiences with them that makes the story all the more special. And there's some solace based on the fact that character deaths that we've seen so far, they'll always be remembered by being a part of Fushi. I like to think the mangaka is exploring different facets and emotions of the human experience through Fushi. It's really beautiful to see all of this, especially in tandem with Fushi's development too. |
| I think you're missing the point of the series. You should expect every single character we meet to die at some point because this show doesn’t operate like others. The story will always follow fushi with other people showing up and impacting his humanity in some way before leaving his life, and other than the nokkers he is literally immortal. It’s impossible for the other characters to stick around and you don’t just get a “happy ending” when the fate of the world is on the line. I guess you could say the author is “playing with our emotions” but I’m pretty sure they know we expect every character to die and makes their deaths mean more. Like I felt that marchs death and fushi transforming into her was absolutely beautiful not disrespecting her as a character at all. Idk just some thoughts. |
| All I can say is that I felt the same annoyance as you OP (when reading the manga). I also didn't like how the author is just killing characters to "buff" MC. At this point viewer just tries to avoid connecting with new characters as it's pretty much obvious that "they'll all die anyways, so who cares?!" right? Because of such approach I think I will never give this show 10/10. I understand how the author is telling us "Fushi is the only one who will live forever" but after Gugu died I felt pissed. I mean, yeah, I understand that Fushi will outlive everyone, but could we stop killing young people so tragically/dramatically? The first guy, March, now Gugu. Time to stop? |
| I mean let's be real, even if they don't die in such tragic ways, they WILL still die, even if it's from just old age. Fushi is immortal, he will always see his loved ones die. The series is an interesting character study and provides insight on human emotions, going further into what makes us human. Fushi being like a baby who is learning everything from scratch about being human. So what I'm more interested in isn't the fact that people WILL die, I already know they will. I'm more interested in how much pain can Fushi bear. He's seen 2 of his loved ones die at this point. At what point does Fushi go "I do not want to ever be in contact with people again". At what point does he completely break down and start blaming himself for ever getting close to March and Gugu which led to their deaths. Like that's the essence of people in general, the ability to persevere, but Fushi is basically a self-fulfilling suffering machine, he watches people die, he takes their forms and carries the burdens of their deaths with them. At what point does his will give out, that's what I'm interested in. |

Scordolo said: My main point was why even let us get attached to the characters if the author plans to kill them right off the bat? We've seen again and again that it is the personal stimulation for Fushi to be able to turn into someone. He has seen multiple unimportant people die and can't reproduce them. He can create spears, because they were the first weapon to properly hurt him. He can create fruits, because they were the first proper food that March gave him. And he can turn into Fushi, March and Gugu, because of how important they were to his personal growth. They all teached him something about life. But all three seperated from him with a wish. The boy showed him what hopes mean, but also wished to not be forgotten and get out of the icy despair. March acted like his mother, teaching him about things in life and had the wish of someday having a family. Only following that, Fushi actually tried to have that family. He and Gugu were like brothers doing everything together. We had a few moments during which Gugu could have died earlier, but the author waited until Gugu's arc was actually finished. If he had died earlier, then Fushi wouldn't had really learned anything new, as it would still have been about family. Instead Gugu died for the woman he loved and these feelings are what turned him into another part of Fushi. This also makes the ending of episode 12 hurt much more. Fushi feels what Gugu felt, but he also knows that it could only hurt Rean if he stays. And Rean can also feel that he's not the same Gugu as before, as we can hear in her talk with her father. She's not saying that the man she loves may someday come back, but is sure that Gugu died for her. She knows that he is a part of Fushi now, even though she never really found out about his powers. To be honest... I love the show, but sometimes it also annoys me to know that the author is just playing with my feelings. But then it always happens in the right moments for the deaths to have a proper meaning. |

| I have 2 problems with Fumetsu First: Some action scenes don't make sense. Parona fell from a cliff and it was okay Parona got hit by that giant bear and it was okay The giant bear was destroying the city Hayase got hit by that giant bear, just got some scars and went crazy Second: Too many death flags. I guess it's going to happen all the time: Fushi meets someone -> learns from that person -> that person dies and becomes part of Fushi. But do they need to make it clear when they're going to die? |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |

What are your personal issues with the series? Honestly, I feel you're going to have that problem for the rest of the season. I feel like after the arc that the rest of the season is probably going to cover is when no characters die for a long time (but they still do eventually). Scordolo said: Muzan2020 said: My main point was why even let us get attached to the characters if the author plans to kill them right off the bat? It's funny because this is precisely why I love this series. Ever since I was a child I thought "Wouldn't it be cool to tell the story of an immortal... but how it "really" would be. Obviously, an immortal will outlive every single person he cares about. Though obviously this show is killing characters way faster than it should, but that's also to show how unforgiving the world they live is in. But this isn't a Shounen... well at least not a normal one. A story about an immortal shouldn't care about what the audience feels. It should show it as it really would be. And as someone else said, it's also part of the point that Fushi "grows" and becomes more human through this pain. The death toll eventually becomes less when Fushi can actually do stuff by himself. But that's after this arc that comes next. And also, this is something that I keep telling people, but after Gugu it stops feeling repetitive because Fushi himself already knows what to expect, and he changes his behavior as a result, closing his heart a little more. That's a good development, and the conflicts also start becoming larger in scale, so it doesn't feel like "some person's tragedy and Fushi observing" To finish, yes, Nokkers do have a goal, but that will be revealed in a second season if there ever is one. This show is building a long-form narrative, so don't expect every answer right off the bat. And the Nokkers were gone for 4 years because they, as Fushi, need time to evolve, except the reason they evolve is to be able to beat Fushi. I couldn't agree more |
