Sir Mopalot posted:Either way I think that it's a great time travel show so far, but it's not steins;gate, it's more of a magical realism show, and I think that it is much less important to deliver a tightly logical story in that kind of show. I'm not sure it actually is a time travel show, frankly. Given how often Naho fails to change things, I've got a sneaking suspicion that it's all just an autistic child's dream (ie. it's purely "future"-Naho's imagination trying to figure out what decisions she made in her relationship with Kakeru and how they might have changed things, as well as where she would have been unable to overcome her personality-defects to do what she knows is right. After all, the first decision is "Send Kakeru home to stop his mother from killing herself" which, if it had been successful, would have completely derailed the story as we now know it.

This episode impressed me in addressing all of my lingering concerns from the previous episode. Makes me feel like I'm more or less on the same wavelength with the author/showrunner, something that doesn't happen terribly frequently with Shoujo shows. I still feel a little weird about the possibility of Naho losing her life-partner and child over the guy she had a crush on for a few months in high school (who happens to be depressive, impulsive, and totally at home making full use of other peoples's kindness, which might not be the best blend of personality traits for a happy future for Naho herself), but at least they've made it clear that it's not erasing that existence in the metaphysics of the show, so much as creating another future in which Kakeru has the chance at a happy and productive future.

My current worry: The more the future-people team up, the more obvious it will become to Kakeru that the others are doing something without him/about him. That realization might cause some unproductive thoughts to lodge in Kakeru's mind

Luckily, Kakeru's too stupid to have the obvious thoughts of "Wait... you all just pitied me? Naho, did you ever even like me or was this all just playacting", etc.

Cialis Railman posted:(Spoiled just to be on the safe side...) I really thought that Kakeru was going to off himself in this timeline, too, and Naho and Suwa would get together, just with better knowledge that they had done everything they could. Sort of similar to how things might have wound up if Kakeru had gone home the first day of school. Probably my AotS also.
