That was… interesting. I don’t know why but this show felt like it was on the same level as NHK. A very grounded story said using abstract concepts. Although Sonny Boy is at the epitome of weirdness.
First of all, I adore this art style. That’s the primary reason why I picked this show up in the first place.
The show felt like an anecdote to change. That people can change. Your change might not be recognized by anyone. It might not even be on anyone’s radar. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Because you’re there to witness it. Even if the whole world’s blind to it. You aren’t. And thinking your witness isn’t worth it isn’t going to take you anywhere. There’s nowhere to go if you run away. You can only run forward.
If you told me to summarize the show.
Things just happen. We can’t control the world. We’re mere observers. We can only control the little path we make for ourselves. So hating ourselves and being numb towards the world isn’t going to solve anything. It’s only going to make you more miserable.
That last ep sure was something. Not many stories take that path. It wasn’t a victory. It wasn’t even a tie. It showed the crudeness of reality. That the world… doesn’t really revolve around us. So what do we do facing that meaningless? Live so you don’t regret it with the smile. What a last scene that was.
