This show introduced so many Strict Rules Of Society in the first episode that I would be very surprised if it's not planning to seriously question some of its world's initial assumptions as things go on. They have everyone living in an ominous death cult that's designed to pair them up, create sexual tension between them, and directly tie those feelings to their ability to pilot, and I don't think the show's conclusion is going to be "actually the manipulative death cult was good all along".

Yeah, Ichigo is in a truly miserable situation there. I feel awful for her too and hope she gets some sort of meaningful satisfaction and happiness by the end.

You can't actually assess how gay or straight it is until you know all of their self-identified genders. This is Shrödingersexual at best.

please stop posting or at least try to be a better person

Alright, that's reasonable. I'm not letting go of my pet theory that it's just accelerated and we're gonna see someone ends get the BGSTD before long, but even if I did, I'd still bet a lot of money that it is/was at least a serious possibility for Hiro.

But then why make him the only one to have that angst? They already did the "Hiro's probably gonna die soon" thing. There's a lot more potential for Eva-level drama if everyone has to stare down the fact that their lives have an expiration date.

I feel like we've kind of gotten a bit of that in the last two episodes with all the references to previous teams who didn't make it.

Holy poo poo, I was not expecting this show to actually go there. I can only hope it doesn't end in tears.

...I can still hope for that, right?

I'm kind of numb to all the death-flags predictions in discussions of this show, because I've been hearing about them since the early episodes and they've always been the wrong assumption so far, even in some pretty intense and serious episodes. That's also me being optimistic, sure, but from the way things have gone so far I don't think it's unreasonable to guess that our leads could all plausibly survive to the end of the story.
