What is Satou's story? (Spoiler Alert)
To me...

The idea isnt to say it is a love story but to show how crazy people can get over their concepts of love, me as a Happy Sugar Life fan ✊️ i can confirm that it isnt a beautiful love story as everyone expects love stories to be, to have an happy ending.. or a reasonable one, but that's exactly the purpose.. it's like a dark humour joke in between serious pshycological behaviour. Its not meant to be a good story, but a crazy ... one with a crazy concept. Why does everything need to have a good ending where people get taken care of and carried to others "ideal ways of living" Happy Sugar Life is indeed an awful anime to society's eyes, but the anime/manga isnt about what society wants, the anime is indeed pointing to Satou's desires and her own ideal understanting of Happiness. The idea of hidden horrors (such as the bloody pages) in between the beautiful interpretations of Satou's ideals, these ideas are screaming her actions and memories of "pay the price of crime" intrusive thoughts that society has input in us (our ways of thinking), but she doesnt care, Satou knows she's done things wrong (in society's aspect) but all she wants is happiness and love (and if we think about it its just what everyone wants, but everyone is different, some people rather love money for example) so she just keeps on pushing on what she believes, ignoring all of her intrusive thougts. Satou's intrusive thoughts represent her as crazy, but she likes the outcome of her actions so she doesnt care at all.
Satou isnt crazy, doing such awful things in such a controlled society is indeed unnacceptable as it is destabilizing the beautiful ways that it has given us. But Satou doesnt want what it has to offer, she "WANTS" what she feels like she desires and she isnt letting go of it, and why would she? Arent we all deeply inside egoisitic and looking forward for getting what we want? Deep inside is it wrong to hold the will of our hearts? Do you remember the day, that, that big fat dude that was starving ate a donut instead of giving it to a cute little begar child asking for it because he couldnt buy it? Everyone around got mad at him, and debated his actions, but he was hungry, but no one cared because he seemed fat and full to their eyes. So is it bad to really want something? Have we asked to be part of this? Dude only wanted to go out and eat a donut, but everyone seems to be blind by basing themselves of the obvious, and just as him, who ate without second thought, Satou doesnt want to be part of other's perspectives and interests neither and clearly, this being the reason why she kept going till the ending she thought she deserved. Ofc she died, but it was the ending she craved for as things were going.. even though she died, she lived all her moments as she wished for, she died a criminal in society's eyes, but to herself she did what she wanted. It doesnt matter if you like the story or not, the story isnt about you or neither me, its about Satou, and about how she won what she wanted within all those atrocities.
Satou won and had her Happy Sugar Life achieved.
(Extra)
By the way, aint gonna lie when we look to what she did to poor Shouko 💀 she didnt deserve that, she seemed like a truthfully amazing friend, i got really sad when she stabbed her with zero compassion, but i understand that she won (Satou), and i dont consider her as weak like many of us who hide and run away from what we want.. her ways were abrubt and violent, but her strength was indomitable when she saw what she wanted.

Now an official review based on a research i made after writing this point of view of mine without any information beforehand, just to prove my point isnt wrong:

>>The author of "Happy Sugar Life," Tomiyaki Kagisora, crafted the story to explore the darker aspects of love and human nature. The narrative delves into themes such as obsession, manipulation, and the lengths one might go to preserve their perceived ideal life. Kagisora intended to challenge the traditional, often sanitized portrayals of love by juxtaposing it with horror and psychological tension.

In interviews and discussions, Kagisora has emphasized that the core of "Happy Sugar Life" is about the complex and sometimes destructive nature of love. The story's protagonist, Satou, embodies this complexity through her extreme actions to protect her relationship with Shio. This contrast between the seemingly innocent title and the dark content serves to unsettle and provoke thought in the audience.

Kagisora aimed to depict how a person's distorted view of love can lead to dangerous and morally ambiguous actions. By doing so, the author invites readers to reflect on their own perceptions of love and morality. The conclusion of the story, with its tragic and unsettling resolution, reinforces these themes and leaves a lasting impact on the audience.<<

I gotta say, i feel rly cool after hitting it on point so much 😎

Anyhow
This is my personnal review, intending to share my view on this. And sry if someone didnt approve it or like it, its a delicate opinion in which i gave my best in such a delicate story to share 💀 but it is what it is.

If you keep reading you'll find a psychopath rizz ;3

So ima leave u alone... ... ... or am i?

It was an odd story and a lot of people say it wasnt "well done enough" but you see, sometimes we simply do not need everything to be explained.. sometimes things are simple, and made to admire for what it was, think about it this way.. a lot of people start reading a story, or living one.. but they never truly get to see the end as they die or smt, but the important thing is that the run was marvelous and interesting, and even tho it didnt go deep and accomplish everyone's desires, it went through a lot, enough to be worth of applauses.

So, ... this anime in my opinion was very well done and interesting besides near the end (spoilers ahead) -
when Donald Trump showed up, but ill explain that later.. to start with, the anime goes through giving us an universe where grandpa over there 👀 is on the end of his life, and then he decides to get a dog because he feels unsatisfied abt his familly's care for his existence (even tho, besides his non corresponded affection, he still loves them a lot.. but how much the sadness gets to him, makes getting a dog sound ok).
So, grandpa, on a happy evening has short of a mental breakdown and decides to run, while crying over towards a park with his dog chasing after him in a desperate intent of finding peace and comfort later when arriving at a grass spot and sitting on his dog's lovely embrace.

BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN, A METEORITE FALLS OVER HIS HEAD! DOG GETS TO SAFETY BUT A DUDE HAPPENED TO BE ON THE PARK ASWELL AND BAM! BOTH DIED! Than, dog barks and *beep beep boop boop* thing says "oops, i kill, i shall revive, shame there's only military stuff here! Well, nothing to do abt it, go on humanity, have fun!

So grandpapa happy, granpapa feel strong, granpapa goes on devoting himself fully for love and helping people.
Meanwhile, other young dude who reincarnated aswell has the bad in him and his military robopup alien stuff it appears, so he the villain now and he kills people.

(may be major spoiler)
And basically the anime shows us immersively how the good and the bad stuff in the end takes us to the same place ig

The bad guy who appears to be true evil, happens to be just a kid with power that wasnt meant to be his, who happens to get to deal with too much from what he was capable to handle, and leaves him to do the unthinkable because uhm, stupid common human behaviour + when dealing with such machinery, <his machine had the look like it was intended to be evil aswell>, glitching and all, which, besides his unpleasent personal human thoughts the machine pushed him a little too it seemed (nothing truly said in the story but from my point of view)

And the good guy granpapa who fights him on an intent to stop his ongoing sins, while also saving a lot of people from diverse different problems and trying to prove himself he is still human. Not thinking a lot of his familly but always there for them. (Later he does some good to his fam and enlaces better with them but yh, it was great but irrelevant for the review, watch it instead)


(Than the final part, there was quite an essential thing they did in the manga that wasnt well shown in the anime, which is the purge part, where Trumph says everyone can purge and do anything, like kill, violate rob and do crime or anything as a general because the world is about to end. While in the anime it only says and lets us know they are simply free or smt and shows people running naked and happy)

So everyone in the world at the end happens to be confronted with Donald Trump on tv, telling'em all they can purge because a meteorite is arriving. So it quickly represents how people can become radical and similar to the bad guy (Shishigami) when set to a world without rules and full freedom, (just as Shishigami did when capable of overrulling these rules) when people can show who they truly are.

But yeah, besides my seemingly ignorant review, i liked the anime and i do think it was worth the watch, very fun and well concepted.
Might not conceive understanding to a lot of people because its hard to understand, but you can see what they mean if you pay attention. So if you havent seen this yet and read it all (my comment), got spoiled in some matter and still consider the watch! Go on! GIVE IT A TRY, ITS WORTH IT! Its mostly an enjoyable experience from all the shared emotion given from the mcs stories, but the message seems cool too i guess. Something like "we're all humans so it doesnt matter" while shredding that a little and creating drama because bad dude is an alien robot... but at least thats how i see it.. its just an independent opinion you can take by yourself by the end of the day, you choose how you want to consider a piece of art.. just like those (lets say) "weirdos" that look at picasso's art at the museum and say "ohhh this TELLS ME SO Much.." without you understanding from a glance, i say this about this anime. I loved it, and i recommend giving it a try and admire its beauty for what it is <3
