This was such a hard show to watch. Took me a lot of strength to not drop it. There’s no denying that this is a great anime, but its not for me.
This guy really reminds me of back when I used to struggle with depression and was going through my nihilistic phase of life. God, I hate those memories.
I’m not even sure if depression is the right word. The kind of feeling portrayed in this show and the kind I was going through wasn’t some irrational behaviour. It was the logical conclusion of a perfectly sound train of thought. It was a sense of emptiness caused not by emotional feelings, but by self-reflection and extrospection.
“If things seem hopeless when you’re alone then rely on someone. Otherwise, no one else will rely on you” That hit me harder than I thought.
Every episode felt like it was telling something so deep but it flew right over my head. I just couldn’t relate, not even a bit. I know I wanted to watch a slice-of-life but i bit off wayy more than i could chew with this one.
