MJP posted:Sheerly out of curiosity, how many people in this thread watched Kotoura-san? It's more or less the same premise of involuntary telepathy on the part of the female lead, and it's surprisingly nicely done. Well given the last couple of posts I decided to check it out. That first episode had a pretty bleak opening and the story has a very different execution despite the overlap in concepts this one is far more wacky. I'm not sure if this is going to be addressed either but my biggest question is; why did Koutora never develop a filter between what thoughts she hears, and what she tells other people? I thought that made perfect sense in MT with Aya to just withdrawing from social interactions without tipping her hand once she had a few events where her telepathy caused friction with others. Especially at a young age. But Kotoura just kept going with it to the point that everything collapsed around her as more and more people distanced themselves away from her and her insight. And the fact that apparently none of these doctors concluded that she could read minds also bothered me. It's not like it's a bad setup at all, but I'm curious how this will pan out. And what is up with Muroto's face? I've seen that sort of number three (3) mouth on the character from world trigger but I don't know what expression that's supposed to mean?

Onean posted:She did stop, but she was still in the same school as some of the kids in elementary school and they didn't let it go. She's in an entirely new city for high school now, but she's so withdrawn people still think she's a weirdo and avoid her. quote:I think the 3 mouth is usually used for pursed lips, like pouting, being upset or kissing? I'm not sure why Muroto uses that expression so much though, probably just something the artist liked.

Dire Lemming posted:Aya has a reputation of being willing to help out with basically anything, which was established way back at the start I think. So it's not a particular teacher it's just some teachers take advantage of her helpfulness. Which means it's time for Aya to start asserting herself and not take the fall for what seems to not be her problem.

DrSunshine posted:More than that, she seems to only hear thoughts that are of the verbal variety -- If someone isn't subvocalizing, just imagining, I don't suppose she'd be able to catch that thought. She can as that is what the mental images she gets are. But the problem there is that her mind is supplying the imagery so she frequently misinterprets info she has little information on which is why she couldn't create an accurate image of Toda's ex girlfriend. Not only that, but when she does know the subject matter she injects her own perception onto it so just like in the previous chapter; if she asks someone to visualize say, a document, she would see what she would put on it and not what they would.

In theory, the better she knows a person the more accurate her interpretation of their thoughts becomes. But since she's not seeing 1:1 inside their heads there is always room for error. Edit: She is supplying all the imagery, but the framework of the thought is still rooted in the other persons head. That was what she discovered when she realized that while Toda is imagining lewd things about her, she's using her own memory as the basis for the image.

Elephant Parade posted:but why did the teacher not explicitly decide who got the recommendation until the last minute. like, "actually you need to study for this test" is something the losing candidate should've been informed of way in advance??? From what I've seen in my own education, and what I've heard of Japanese education systems; I can believe that someone didn't make a decision until the last minute.

I don't think there's a set age where people develop their ambition; it depends greatly on the individual. That being said this page hits close to home for me as well.

Ytlaya posted:Doesn't it kind of depend how far they're going for university? Like even if the universities are different, if they're in the same or nearby cities it's not exactly a big deal. It's real easy to drift apart even when you are in school in the same area as you start to move further down your curriculum. Especially since Toda is going into Medicine and I barely saw the friends I made at College who went into the Pharmaceutical field. The problem here is Aya is intimidated by making new friends and she wants her current group to stay together going into the future; but reality is that for many reasons, people who are close may see each other less and less as time goes on. Right now Aya's got to get over that realization because she can't cling to just one group of friends for comfort as time goes on. Doesn't mean she'll lose her friends and confidants, but she'll need to be able to forge new bonds and maintain some longer distance relationships with her other friends.

I still think that the individual provides the script but Aya supplies the visuals. So the location is the same in both people's minds but they look different given Ayas differing experiences.

Ytlaya posted:I get the impression she just gets the vague idea from him of "a college reunion where we're dating and then hook up" and everything else is hers. The dialogue might also be from Toda, but wasn't Sano mentioned in the dialogue? Posting from phone so it's a pain to go back and check. Toda directly acknowledges Sano in the daydream, so yeah. That just reinforces the notion that Aya was doing the brunt of the work. I'm sure the lewd was Toda's doing though...right?
