Roland Jones posted:I think it would have benefited from being thirteen episodes rather than twelve; this last episode felt like it was trying to wrap everything up ASAP. Even skipping the opening entirely, if felt cramped, skipped over some things (like Nanko and Valkana kicking rear end apparently), and then kind of just ended. It was still entertaining, but, yeah. It is going to have a thirteenth episode

My favorite part of this show was that the "different colored shoes" theory was probably just an animation error.

That episode was basically 20 minutes of denouement except nothing really felt settled and few loose ends were actually addressed. I loved it.

I liked the part where a big revelation for the characters is how people end up punishing themselves harder because they assume everyone else has it all together and that only they are suffering/coming up short. This point is especially important considering that Japan has been very slow to acknowledge mental health issues, and that many people who fear the stigma of being "crazy" end up coming up with really bad coping mechanisms. I wish we had more episodes to flesh out the cast, though. I was surprised that the nurse and the basically sensible guy ended up staying behind, but it made sense in terms of character to try and care for those who can't leave yet.

Maybe Soy Latte will find romance? Hopeful end! (Although a lot of the knuckleheads on reddit at this late juncture STILL haven't figured out that the humor's intentional. Kind of annoying.)

As much as I'm confused by how many people think Mayoiga's humor is accidental or nonexistent, I think what I find even stranger is when they go on to also say it's a compelling serious story with effective dramatic direction.

It occasionally gets serious, like with the bus driver's daughter, because it would be kind of dickish to play that for laughs even by this show's standards. Just not very often.

I think this ended on an okay note overall, it just felt very rushed. Feels like it having one or even two more episodes would of helped it a lot. Mostly I thought far more of them were going to stay so was rather confused by the bus being so full.

they should've made the manga be a completely different plot that happens to also take place in nanaki village, starring wankoro, the three yuunas, and toriyasu as the main characters. mitsumune dies day 1 and masaki is completely unimportant and probably has a completely different backstory. just make every adaptation star different members of this show's ridiculously large cast

That episode felt like the director thought he was doing a 24 episode series and wasn't corrected until he finished episode 11. It was jarring with the shifts in tone and the back-to-back character resolutions.

Yeah, Lion either had some power or thought she did, and others thought so too, and her mother used that to sell things to supposedly help the people who were going to die to make money. Which apparently was working well, given how nice her place looked in Lion's flashback. It's also why Lion doesn't want to go back in the end, I imagine; she's still a kid and has nothing to go back to except being used as a tool by her mother, so, her problem is a present one (beyond its effects on her psyche) as much as it is a past one. It's a bit of a downer, really; there's no happy ending for her either way, so the best she can do is not go back.

Also, Blondie McHat felt really out of place, I mean, he joined the tour to run from loan sharks, right? We can assume everyone there has some sort of psychological scar but he's the only one with a more mundane reason that is never challenged, not even in the final episode when he reiterates it. He never describes or claims to have seen his nanaki, right?
