The last episode was fucking shlock.

This show is what happens when you have an interesting idea for a story, but don't have an idea for the ending, and then you just kind of hope you'll come up with something at some point while writing. It's full of disingenuous foreshadowing and dead ends and story elements that were never reincorporated and so became irrelevant.

I like this kind of anime though. I think the reason they don't happen more often is precisely the same reason this one fell flat. Namely, that a story with this much complexity requires more thought and effort than most writers are willing to invest.

It makes you appreciate good writers in the industry, like Gen Urobuchi.

>>139505945

Everything after the reveal felt like an "Oh shit, I need to give this a happy ending" by the creator (even though it was still a bad end for Satoru)

It was pretty clear Yashiro was the killer about 3-4 episodes in, him losing that race to the kid who is in all of 3 minutes of the show being played up as a big moment and going nowhere, Yuuki is in maybe 15 minutes of the series (counting all the openings) despite being the main suspect in the future (did they even mentioned he hung out with that other girl before showing them at the park?).

It just need more time to develop.

Good animes/movies/TV shows are rarer than diamonds in a haystack compared to good books which there are tons of. This lowers the required ceiling for a good rating.

And furthermore you have to consider the OST (Yuki Kaijura is generally good tier even if the soundtracks are all a one trick pony), the animation (stellar in this case), plot compression and pacing (conveyed most of the important threads even if it was short which is important if it's not a book where the author can afford to spend more time characterisation). The amount of filler/fanservice (which makes shows instantly shit) and how the ending of the last episode and the start of the subsequent episode.

What a retarded thing to say. Do you have any idea how many more books there are than Japanese cartoons? Taking that into consideration, the proportion of actually good to complete shit is roughly the same. The only reason there are a lot of great books is because books can be produced by a single person and without as much financial investment, and have been around for thousands of years.

there was no NTR, childhood boy/girl can't have such a concept. girls don't grow up and marry someone they last saw in elementary school 15 years ago when they left to go live somewhere else, whether or not the boy was in coma or whatever dire situation. that's absurd

In the manga he does a whole bunch of shit, admits everything and gets the death penalty.

I don't feel as strongly about the need for her to hook up with MC.her just being available so you can ship whatever you want would have been nice but I guess the Christmas cake rules came back to bite us in the as.
>make length of the coma ~10 years
Im not sure how I feel about the coma. I guess they did it so we could avoid him having 2x memories of everything and it was nice to see that he did not get abandoned by his mom, the bullshit part of the coma was that he falls out of it than falls back into it for 1 more year.

I'm fairly sure that his Revivals are triggered by extremely strong emotions like the feeling of horror, justice or panic.

>>139511914
Yashiro reminds me of a Time Lord called Irving Braxiatel. Who is a timetravelling, manipulative douche ass with an entire audio story line regarding how he manipulates the fuck out of everyone and you still feel sorry for him.

Wait, if he was a city council member, wouldn't he have been more noticeable? Like how would he have gotten away with abducting that kid in episode 1?

>>139512091

the coma was dumb as hell, we didn't need a time skip for the ending

>>139512159

only answer is for theMC to be gifted with by a deus ex machina with the girl’s phone number. and then DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

>>
>>139511873
It was once mentioned that it only works for the sake of others. Doesn't make much sense in the manga though since Yashiro kept killing people after he fell into the coma, it's more likely to be true for the anime.

I guess the maker assumed we would feel disconnected from MC if we jumped in time while he lived out his life. yes the ending did not need a time skip because its more or less the same scenario just play out in modern day. I guess he did not want to rewrite the timeline too much

was he a member or was he just in the running? realistically he would not have gotten away with it, hell realistically one of his brothers victims would have talked long ago or even come to blackmail him, its one of those thing that happen because plot needs it to(I don't know much about japan but don't they have cctv in parking lots?)

And another thing to mention is presumably only one revival can happen at once.

When he's in the car, he's in the past. He can go back to the present but the past has already changed. Presumably when he goes back into the present, his younger self recovers his original personality (which is what Kenya notices). Maybe because he changed the timelines so drastically by ending up in a coma he didn't return to the present. But if he did return to the present, the circumstances have already changed and there's nowhere for him to return to anymore because he's either dead or still in a coma or if he's not in a coma he's brain dead.

>>139512554

he should've just gotten "amnesia" for a few weeks (yes I know, it's just as cliched as a coma) before hearing Yashiro tap his fingers and regaining his memory. The timeline is still changed by Satoru going from a burnout to a respected mangaka.

>>139512657

The coma only went up to 2003 and he was already a politician at that point, so 3 years on the council would've made him somewhat well known as a public figure

>>139512727
Intuition? He runs away from the police knowing it can buy him some time and maybe revive.

>>139512476
Im assuming you where not a fuckboy in a rural village with only 4 friends, nor do I think your friend saved even 1 life. I do not mind how it turned out, hell its even bit logical since they may hook up to feel closer to satoru or something like that. nor do I endorse the belief that helping cute girls auto lands you their pussy
>>
>>139512859
>The timeline is still changed
its changed by the fact that people that were dead before are alive
>>
>>139512877
thats more logical. he was kind of dead inside in the first ep + he says this shit happens all the time so it can't really be panic all the time
>>
>>139512963

then what would it matter if Satoru grows up and relives his teenage years with all his friends?
>>
>>139513057
The killer tried to kill him and he brushed it off like he was plot jesus. No suffering, no nothing. Satoru is untouchable.
>>
>>139513057
I have no idea.Im just grasping at ideas trying to figure out the authors thinking. even the thinking that the killer would not give up is foolish since satoru could tell his mom and she would believe anything he says + the antagonist gave him his backstory and if cops look into it his guilt would be easy to prove

>>
>>139513348
If he just had amnesia and wasn't in any sort of life threatening danger, Sensei would have taken his body out of the car, gotten out of town and kidnapped him. Leaving him in the hospital means that Satoru might talk and reveal his shit. On the other hand, he can't kill Satoru because Satoru claims to know the future. Yashiro's future is dead if he lets Satoru go.
>>
>>139513348

I'm guessing the backstory was given while he was in a coma since he mentioned how he couldn't kill the boy. And they could explain away why he wouldn't go tell his mom it was sensei could be explained away with amnesia or them immediately arresting Yuuki/his father and Satoru needing to convince everyone it was really the highly regarded teacher

Didn't Yashiro steal a car of the exact make and model? Satoru was dumb for not double checking the number plate first.

The police sure would and when you buy a vehicle they know who owns it. He could replace the plate every time but it's still pretty suspicious.

Did the opening single ever get released?
>>
>>139509125
I genuinely believe their is a higher percentage of anime that are good then literature that is good, a single man can write a book, a single man can shoot a movie, but for anime it takes a team and /some/ budget, so every anime has /some/ bare minimum of quality. Work in publishing or as an editor, see how many of the submissions you get are complete and utter garbage, then consider that the author thought that that was good enough to send in, imagine how many don't even get to that point.
>>
>>139514587
typical cop wouldn't notice, they don't go down the street constantly running plate number checks on parked cars. random plate number checks if done at all are mostly done on moving cars, because they're interested in people not cars.

Less happened. Hiromi, Kayo and the other girl didn't die.
I am absolutely certain that it was sensei and not a random vet who pulled anime Satoru from the car so sensei could have made up any story he wanted and a few weeks of amnesia could have occurred as a result of a self induced accident.

Kayo has obviously been abused by her mother and she's not there to testify anything. Remember that she has just left for her protection and Sensei just helped Kayo out so Satoru's mother has a positive image of him, maybe she would think that Sensei helped Satoru out too.

Kenya and Hiromi are still children. Hiromi has minimal if any knowledge about what just happened.

Kenya and Satoru are still just children and would not have their opinions respected as adults. Yashiro hasn't killed anyone else like he did in the manga gap (or didn't kill in the anime gap) which doesn't make him suspicious. And Yashiro doesn't have the 'coma' scene which means the instant Satoru wakes up he'd want to get his hands on Satoru again and try and provoke another confrontation.

This is assuming that Satoru gets into hospital in the first place. If all he gets is amnesia from drowning, well presumably Sensei knows CPR and why would he bother letting his prey get away from him if Satoru doesn't even need any treatment? It would be illogical for him to reveal himself by letting someone who is in the right mind but without a memory into a situation where he can blurt everything out. He also can't verify whether or not Satoru is really faking the memory loss.
>>
>>139515072

this

Yashiro just removed one of his students from an abusive home and would've saved another from drowning. Throw in the easy patsy of Yuuki/Yuuki's dad and there's no way Satoru's claims would've been accepted
>>
I'm an idiot and don't get the spider's thread allegory (as it relates to this series) someone explain it
>>
>>139515700
Spider's thread is what the Buddha throws to the sinner Kandata allowing him the slim hope of getting out of hell. Kandata tries to climb towards paradise by damning them (and kicking them down) so that he's the only one who can get out. Unfortunately the thread breaks and he falls back towards hell and Buddha turns his back on Kandata.

Yashiro wonders whether or not the position of the thread breaking would influence Buddha's attitude towards Kandata. The first time Yashiro sees the spider's thread on a person's head it's his brother and then after killing various people he sees it on himself.

You can interpret Yashiro as either the Buddha or Kandata.
>>
>>139510474

it wasn't hidden, Yashiro points out that he has his phone so you can assume he was aware of it the whole time

Yashiro wants to see himself as Buddha because he wants to be the arbiter of fates. He kills people without consequence and is the fact that Spice survives feeds his complex.

But on the other hand Yashiro is Kandata because he is sinful and has only committed one good act (the saving of Kayo) and for that Satoru sees him as his father. On the rooftops, Satoru offers Yashiro the chance for redemption and Yashiro is moved because Satoru/Buddha/Jesus says that he 'bears him no hate'. (Whereas he would have expected Buddha to turn his back on him if it went according tot he story).

You can interpret the allergory in two ways - the string snapped because Yashiro is saved and redeemed (red → brown eyes) or the string snapped because he let Satoru die (he 'let go' of the wheelchair) but personally I think it's the first situation.
>>
>>139516046
Yashiro deleted the call but presumably it can be restored because memory is never really 'wiped' unless you DBAN the whole thing.

>>139516239

I agree with it being the first, the scene where he looks at his reflection in the water seemed to imply a redemption
