I haven't read the manga but I feel like this is the most likely scenario. I mean, most people in HS tend to not be together years or years later right?

I feel like this is the direction the story would realistically be going but love triangles are messy and overdone so I still feel a little weird about it.

Suwa is the loveliest person and I'm sure he will find and bring joy to all around him in whichever worldline he exists.

It feels the show has made peace with the two worldlines that have diverged, one in which Naho and Suwa can be loving parents to their son, and one where Naho and Kakeru can make their futures together.

I... I think I might actually really like love triangles, when they're well executed. I'm all about pining over unrequited love, and also pain.

God, it always takes me days to get around to watching the weekly episode, unlike every other show, just because I know I have to sit down, mentally prepare myself to have my emotions toyed with, and actually pay attention to the animation. :argh:

Kakeru, why are you so thick? :argh: At least he and Naho deserve each other. :v:

Also, I'm glad that Naho is finally fixing things. :3:

This is a thing I've realized about myself in like the last year. I am super cool with sappy love triangle stories when it is actually about people dealing with non-reciprocal feelings and figuring their poo poo out.

On the topic of the show itself, I really enjoyed the scene where Naho just freezes up as she tries to comprehend what exactly is going on and if changing the past even matters.

Man, Suwa's letter must have been something.

"Hi, buddy, I'm you from the future. Your new friend is going to commit suicide, and to stop him, the your future wife, the girl you've always loved, needs to date him instead. It's cool, though, many-worlds theory tells me I won't be sabotaging my marriage by briefing you on this. Which is good, because did I mention that Naho's a really great wife? Peace."

All the same, it's somehow encouraging that Naho's not alone.

Those cartoony reaction faces were new, weren't they? Seems a bit odd and jarring to bring them in so late in the game.

Calling it. Show of the season.

Shame Ueda only got smacked down figuratively and not literally, though.

Probably to hide QUALITY issues. The actual animation budget appears to have gone to a parallel world.

They appear in the original manga quite frequently as well, I was more surprised that they hadn't shown up earlier. Still far less jarring than in, for example, the new D.Grayman anime.

Gotta echo the need for Ueda to get bitchslapped. :argh:
