Bad execution?

Am i the only one who think, they kind of failed to develop the emotions in this ep? the whole ep felt so rushed, it could've been better, like a lot better, this ep was supposed to be a major one but i couldn't feel anything throughout the ep( just a personal opinion, the anime is still pretty great, no hate)

what are you talking about, i laughed throughout the whole episode. one of the saddest attempt to create a bully arc that ive seen

gnomeu said:
Yes, extremely poorly executed, if the idea was to make the Episode run, my congratulations to the staff succeeded, I couldn't feel a drop of emotion in Sayu's flashback, I made an effort to accept her motives and not for being "weak" but Episode failed to show the weight of events, I'm disappointed.

It’s not just you. It was rushed. Seems to be that due to time constrictions and because they want to wrap up the whole series in just 13 Episodes everything is being rushed (Even skipping Arcs and important interludes). Sayu’s past is meant to be devastating and depressing, yet, because they tried to packed all in one sitting the studio cut too much content so the impact was lost. If you check the LN, the feeling that this part conveys is extremely different.

I think the main problem with it was the dialog because it was kind of stiff and also character's emotions going all over the place leading to the emotional scenes kinda coming out of nowhere whith literally 0 build up

No you're not the only one but this was inevitable. The author wanted to create a scenario where an attractive, sexually-seductive high school girl and an average guy in his mid-20s cohabitate and eventually fall in love so he had to contrive a set of flippant plot points where that would happen, and in a modern day setting to appeal to lonely salarymen in their mid-20s. Everything else is just him working back and filling in to make it make sense.



This series was never deep. It's wasn't ever about the characters, highlighting the dangers of runaways, or putting a spotlight on poor parenting. It was simply a romantic drama using these things to create romance between a teenager and a grown man.

This ep 9 is so bad... Thats the reason she ran away and was basically turned into a sex doll for horny/dirty Salarymen? No... This show was so good but the realism just took a BIG hit here. This show is now down from an 8 to a 7. That is so unbelievable that her first real friend she made was in highschool. We (the audience) don't care about a random ass girl that committed suicide because of bullying caused by Sayu... You can't just introduce a character with no development like that. Come on she needed at least 3 episodes of development just for that to be somewhat feels worthy. This was so anti-climatic and knocks the series down a few pegs for me.

I mean Tokyo is DENSE so it's pretty believable that she got away with it. We don't know how many guys she let hit but 20-40 is likely. The guys kept it a secret and so did she so know one would know. But yeah The believability of the entire story went down after ep 9... And I don't think she's a slut. To her, that was the easiest option and thats why no matter how attractive a minor is they'll always mentally be minors until they grow up. Sayu is not to blame, she's a child. Her home situation and the men that preyed upon her are at fault. They showed Sayu flicking and it's normal for a teenaged girl to have a sex drive although puritan values in the US would say otherwise. She could've tried being friendly in HS and maybe had a boy her age clap her cheeks. That's healthy if teens the same age are engaging like that. Slut shaming is wrong and u shouldn't do that. Its a really bad double standard. One double standard that does make sense is the one around older guys and younger girls. Men are statistically much more likely to be predators so it makes sense why people often don't question it when it's the other way around. Hige is a better watch then DG definitely but the problem with that show was that DG was just made to get a reaction out of you while Hige is a decent drama omitting the Sayu BS.

" Sayu is not to blame, she's a child. Her home situation and the men that preyed upon her are at fault." Seriously ??? her body, her choice of course her fault. she had good brother that did support her and if she ask help from him, he would have done that . also I don't belive her mom is completly shit you do know parents are also humans they make mistake, if she was compeltly abuse to sayu she wouldnt have rased that beautifuly. sayu mom made mistake but sayu never tried to at least shout out what really happend she just took easy way out. I blame all these things for lazy writing by author they could have done better with backstory

Yeah the back story was ass... I think it's explained better in the LN from what I heard but I'm an Anime only type of watcher atm. And I disagree. There are age of consent laws specifically to protect children from being taken advantage of. Sayu is a child (minor) so she literally can not be blamed in any capacity for what happened. Children aren't usually expected to make rational decisions. I still feel like her reason for running away was a bit much but the guys that fucked her committed statutory rape. They're rapist. If Sayu was of age (Which was 20 in Japan but I think now is 18) I would say that that Sayu should take responsibility for her own actions but she's not.

Personally I feel like the age of consent should work like this: The lowest age of consent internationally should be 16 (like in the UK) anything lower is nasty and anything higher like 18 or 20 is Puritan asf and toxic. Also get rid of all marriage loopholes (Japan has it where you can marry a 16 year old girl "with permission from her parents" and get away with sex no matter what your age is) in all countries.
13,14 year olds should only have 1 year up or down. 15 year olds can have 2 years older but only 1.5 years younger. Kids aged 16 to 20 should be fair game (within the 4 years) . For 21 and up the lowest is 17. Anyone 25 or older cannot have sex with with someone that's younger then 20. I feel like that's fair and not only protects kids from adults but also older teens from taking advantage of younger teens. Age matters much more in your developmental years and this accounts for everything.
