Should Luluco have dumped Nova or is what they did the correct choice for them to have made? This is a question that many people debate. Me? I don't mind either way.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this in the thread and I missed it, but I just realized the Blackholeian is Viral's VA. Both characters that can't understand the power/value of strong emotions.

Luluco apparently never really told Nova how she felt in a straightforward way, so she confessed to him and presumably if he didn't give a gently caress or rejected her, she'd develop some different emotion to get the Blockholeian to gently caress off.

She's got middle school girl determination and justice, she'd figure something out.

Incidentally, when the blackholeian blasts off Nova's shirt you can see a Kizna scar!

i would have preferred if luluco just got over nova instead of what's happening.

but i am happy for her, as a fan, and hope we get a separate version of that upbeat version of pipo password to listen to.

The tone of the show so far has just been 'hyperbole for hyperbole's sake'. Remember the episode where the MC got turned-down so hard it literally killed her?

Middle school crushes are shallow stupid garbage. If you need an uplifting message that actually applies, its that it's ok if it's still important to you at the time. Just don't take it too seriously, or act like it's really significant in the grand scheme of things.

Actually this is just what I keep telling people in ADTRW if you replace 'middleschool crush' with 'lovely anime'.

i agree with long post man that middle school crushes are in fact insignificant. i think ideally luluco would put her superficial interest in nova behind her and realize that her own values and opinion of herself are more important than some pretty boy with a 20 word vocabulary.

but excluding that, this is nice too.

I think it would be really sad if luluco thought her feelings were worthless and not worth exploring!

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

It comes off as weird because the lesson they're trying to show (be honest with yourself about your feelings, respect a target of affection as a person rather than an idol, and don't blame them for your inability to communicate your intent) is the kind of lesson you'd want to try to teach young men, not necessarily young women.

Something can be a silly Wacky comedy about kids in space and also be a show trying to say something meaningful about crushes, simultaneously

Honestly, the main lesson I'm getting from the anime is that it doesn't matter if someone else puts you down for it, if you find something important, you should fully embrace your feelings for it. The entire anime had been about Luluco knowing she had feelings for Nova, struggling between going for it and backing down, and then finally GOING FOR IT.

The black hole guy is probably right, it's probably just a silly middle school romance, but just accepting that as a fact wouldn't let Luluco progress as a person.

i think the real lesson is to do things, quickly, and maybe loudly, if you feel like it. own your destiny and run screaming into the future.

moreover, the blackholeian is a real prick about it and should get punched in his stupid black hole face for it regardless of if he's right or not imo
