>Nori-chan might actually win
I'm ok with this
>>142796568
Or die.
>>142796568
She dies, Chidori wins
Its very predictable.
All I care about is Nico desu
>>142796804
>Chidori wins
This, nigga ran so fast to the patio when he thought he heard her and was burning holes into her during class. Don't be surprised if he "realizes" he's in love with her.
>>142797149
His feelings are a mess but its quite clear who he is affectionate towards and who he sees as a subject of curiosity.
>>142797149
I don't know I mean he ignored her confession to save Nori so that means something
>>142796568
Why does the animation look weird?
Cute nonetheless
>>142797339
His feelings (and the guy in general) being a mess is exactly why you should consider the possibility. It's obvious why he would be so concerned with Sonozaki and the Kizna system but a "Chidori is who I love now and I didn't realize that and blah" ending can easily be the outcome.
>>142797560
That wasn't intentional though and it was one of your family, you'd do the same thing.
I'm not saying this is for sure, just that it's very possible. This isn't uncommon or anything.
>>142796568
>that smile
suddenly best girl
>>142797691
>weird
No, that's actually quite good animation.
Maki > Chidori > Hisomu > Nico > Sonozaki
>>142799283
Sonozaki > Nico > Hisomu >>>>> everyone else
I'm glad Hisomu and Nico got more screentime this episode.
>>142799283
Sonozaki > Chidori >Ruru> Nico > rest
>>142799973
Good shit
>>142799973
Neat.
>>142799973
Is the full op out yet?
>>142796568
Nori-chan is a fucking home wrecking whore. I can't wait until she is dead and Kacchon will have to have someone pick up the pieces for him.
>>142800445
Yes it is
>>142800539
Nori-chan confessed first, Kacchon belongs to her
>>142799973
>anon finally makes it to 2D world.webm
>>142800793
Nori-chan is a used up whore who doesn't care about Kacchon and fucks old men for funds. Chidori is pure and does everything for Kacchon and knows him the best. Chidori was always by his side.
>>142797149
yes but these were before the cutest flashback that sent him into his crying fit
>>142796568
>not posting link to sound
http://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1465669108019.webm
>>142797149
Why was Chidori not talking to him? She is his friend right? I don't think she is the sort of girl that would just abandon him.
>>142796568
Aw shit
I don't know why but that scene hit me like a train.
Sonozaki better win. Chidori needs to get the fuck over it.
>>142801335
Shut up Tenga
She doesnt like you anyway
>>142801941
Everyone except Fairy girl, Masochist pervert and Dead boy have gone a number of steps backwards in their relations with one another rather than forwards.
>>142801913
What do you call a boner that is in your chest but you penis isn't hard? That is what I feel.
>>142799283
Beyond bad taste dude.
>>142802021
Love
>>142802021
A heartboner. I got one, too.
>>142802021
anon found a waifu
hopefully we get more of loli sonozaki or that she gets her emotions back and is super cute still
Sonozaki > others
Who even cares about the other people at this point? They feel somewhat pointless now.
will this show end with a vanilla "everyone wins" ending?
Cause I want Noriko to be with her kacchon and everyone else to have their own significant other to love, no one getting left out.

How can one girl be so blown the fuck out?
>>142802139
As long as best girl Nori wins and Nico is happy in the end, I'll be fine with it.
Honestly though, I feel like this show is going to pull some bullshit out of its ass in the end.
>>142802139
No Tenga a shit and doesn't deserve to be in a relationship with anyone let alone best girl Chidori.
>>142802176
Chidori didn't get BTFO. She hasn't confessed or been rejected.
>>142802139
>Kacchon is in mutual daisuki with Nori-chan
>but Chidori likes Kacchon
>but Tenga likes Chidori
>but Nico likes Tenga
>while fatboy likes Maki
>but Maki likes a dead lesbian
>purple mostly just likes pain
A bunch of these people seem to fall under the "just friends" category even if problems are resolved though
If Luluco can repair her heart then so can Nori-chan. She'll be daijobou, you just gotta believe.
>>142802368
>but Maki likes a dead lesbian
it's funny because it's true.
>>142801882
I'd start crying too after all this shit. Lab experiment gone wrong, past friends are all dead inside, childhood waifu has been forced to suffer all this time.
>>142802336
>streaming
>>142802368
Kacchon loves Chidori, he is isn't aware of it yet. She has cared for him, spent time with him, and was nice to him so it is obvious she will get his love.

This fucking guy, is alright.
I was sort of shocked when it turned out Chidori was just a thirsty, me first bitch. She claims she doesn't like him but still kicks up a fuss.
WHY DIDN'T YOU PROTECTED NORI-CHAN'S SMILE, /a/?
WHY?
How the fuck do some of you fags like Chidori?
>>142803160
She is kind, selfless, and maternal. She is a sweet girl.
>>142803160
Only good for a hard fucking.
>>142796568
I fucking melted when we finally saw her smile.
>>142803160
>not liking chidori
As long as its not hate I guess.I like her.
>>142796568
Totes adorbz
>>142803274
I'm not normally one for that whole protecting smile meme, but god damn if that whole moment wasn't beautifully animated and so damn cute!
>>142802021
hurts in a good way, doesn't it.
>>142800539
Chidori pls
Katsuhira will die. But his soul will choose to go back in time, the time when he was happiest, and he will be at season 1 first episode. Chidori who loves Katsuhira wants to be with him too and wants to be in a time when Katsuhira'd love her, but since he already loves Nori-chan she'll go back in time before Katsuhira is born, and become his mother.
>>142800539
This post makes me way more pissed off than it should.
>>142801913
goddamn, i get tingles up my spine every time she smiles and says "I love you."
Every time. Without fail. Trigger, why you do this to me?
>>142802336
>crunchyfag
start torrenting like an adult
I mean, look at this smile. How can you NOT either fall in love with her or she instantly becomes a daughteru?
>>142803481
Just you wait, when that hussy Sonozaki dies Kacchon will be crawling on his knees to have Chidori take him back.
>>142803717
Her and everyone else involved in that experiments parents a shit.
>>142803778
Yeah, I'd like to see the parents' reasoning. my guess is that they were poor and were paid off.
>>142803805
Some of the parents were the scientists I recall.
They mentioned everyone in the initial experiment was so positive of it working they were almost in a trance. So probably a combination of all that.
>>142803943
scientists aren't always well-paid. and if their parents were part of it, they probably signed a release so they couldn't sue
>>142803965
Probably.
But then again I don't think the parents are really an important part to the story.
>>142804048
no, they're not. just an interesting diversion.

It's not enough I ruin five children's live into a vegetative state, I also need to make fun of those that come after them.

>>142802510
>this is what 'nice guy' beta orbiters tell themselves so they can sleep at night
>>142804954
So Chidori is a "nice guy"?
>>142804996
the female version, yes. She fits every prerequisite.
i guess this works, not feeling it this week
>>142803160
If she gets off on caring for a low-tier autist, she's perfect for most of /a/.
But seriously, outside of her tsuntsun hitting/slapping antics (which have gotten less and less frequent as the show goes on), she's loyal, kind, caring (and can cook) and just wants everyone to get along, except for her chosen man and his childhood crush, understandably.Also, she's pretty good looking, although most of the girls in the show are, depending on your type. Makes the most sexual pose in the OP, too.
I don't really care if she wins the Katsuhiro Bowl (Tenga's a better foil for her anyway), but if Kats goes with Nori and Tenga gets paired with Nico, I will be platinum mad.
>>142805138
Does anyone have the full set of these?

shitdori is a selfish bitch who cares for no one but her own fraudulent self-pitying ass. if she got with tenga she'd only nag and abuse him because she has no capability to care for anyone but herself.
>>142803160
It's /a/, and it's a shitty tsundere. What do you expect?
>>142806792
I.E. She's a "Nice Girl" equivalent to a "Nice Guy"

>>142802218
>tenga a shit

funny joke, almost raged.
>>142800539
fixed:
chidori is a fucking home wrecking whore. I can't wait until she is dead and tenga will have to have someone pick up the pieces for him.
which will have to be nico or katsuhira let's be real.
>>142803693
what's adult about being the poorfag who can't pay 6 bucks/month for nice&easy access to anime?
Chidori sure has a lot of haters.

>what's adult about saving bandwidth by only downloading a show once
>what's adult about watching in the highest quality currently possible
These scientists doing these things to them. Shit is fucked up
>>142803160
Most people like her.
The bigger question is why so many people don't have Maki as their favorite.
>>142807108

>>142807179
Honest answer: Her personality turns me off and I have never found glasses attractive.
>>142807179
no stamina
notice how quickly she tires compared to others
>>142806792
>no capacity to care for anyone else
She's got a chance to come around and break out of it.
>>142806887
If she realizes what she's been doing, and leaves it behind, there's still hope.As there is for all of us.
The difference between comedy and tragedy is whether the heroinerecognizes their faults and changes, or remains bound by them, like chains around the heart.
The whole time, I haven't been able to see the Kiznaiver wrist scars as anything put standard self-harm scars, which gives "bound by our pain/wounds" a whole new meaning. In the end, the question of the show is whether people can deal with their past, and the pain it causes them, or or just wallow in it.
That's what Maki's whole arc was a spotlight on, and the current situation is just a variation on the same theme, but without the whole group rallying around one person and trying to help them unwind their past. Humorously enough, Yuta's one sided affection for Maki helped her get resolution, and now the one-sided affections of the rest of the group are preventing them from getting any resolution.
>>142807190
Textbook. And I'd be mad, because it wraps things up in the most meaningless way.

Wow, never thought of that. Thanks for the insight, anon.
>>142807111
The entire show is a lot funnier if you take the Kiznaiver scars as self-harm wounds, and interpret all the zany shit as the kids being given shitloads of acid without without anyone realizing.
Explains the OP, too.
>>142807404
Am I the only one who unabashedly loves the OP completely?

>>142799973
Better than the actual show.
>>142807423
>>142807505
Right there with ya, only I figured out this show was a thing yesterday, because of the thread, and have been shotgunning it since, watching the OP each episode. It's probably one of the best crystallizations of a good trip I've seen as an OP.
>>142807526
Good, I'm not the only one.

>>and some engrish lyrics that are close enough to be misinterpreted as a-ha's biggest hit
alright, I guess that's a good point
why nico not a shit:
she swallowed her pride and confronted katsuhira & purple with the hopes of making friends out of them AND recognized her rejection and realized that it wasn't the ONLY thing that happened during her summer
meanwhile what the fuck else is everyone else doing
NOTHING
>>142807423
I always skipped the OP after episode 3. I just do not like that kind of music, I guess.
I find it baffling why so many say it is so good that it is the only redeeming thing in Kiznaiver, but different musical tastes.
>>142807730
you're the hipstest

>>142807057
You know the history of Crunchy, yes? These fags will shit on you for streaming in general, but it's not so bad if you're going third party at some ad site. Crunchy is the fucking devil. The day they get a cent from me directly is the day I chop off my own dick and eat it with A1 steak sauce.
>>142807730
I wouldn't say it's the only redeeming thing, but yeah, no accounting for different musical takes. I guess it doesn't hurt that I like club music.
>>142803717
Because she became terrible growing up. Hintyou have a daugter, it WILL happen no matter what.
>>142807761
>takes
I mean tastes. I should probably go get some sleep.
>>142807774
Don't you even compare it to that.
And Sonozaki is like that because she's constantly drugged with painkillers.
>>142807705
>what the fuck else is everyone else doing
Hisomu actually at least checked the other six's houses and then went into the house of the one least capable of taking care of himself and brought food. During the Summer of Broken Hearts.
People always forgot Hisomu is always the exception. He had no prior drama. He had no love drama. He had not acted like idiots after his introduction.
It is because he is so underdeveloped to be an absolute anomaly.
>>142807817
A daughter growing up will become shit no matter what. Drugs only make them even worse.
>>142807760
>Crunchy is the fucking devil
/a/ is always against any paid service with the exception of buyfags.
>>142807854
So do sons, as evidenced by you.
>>142807760
>You know the history of Crunchy, yes?
Not him, but I've been curious for a while now. Was just reading about it on Wikipedia.
They made money off of fansubbers who uploaded to their site right? Then got liscensing deals to host certain shit and removed copyright infringing fansubs?
Yeah it's kind of fucked up that they made money off of other people's work, but why would fansubbers (among others) be pissed off at crunchy despite the fact that the fansubbers uploaded that stuff to crunchy when they knew it was a for profit site?
>>142807848
he's perfectly aware of his status
once confronted by Maki he openly asks whether its mandatory to have some prior psychological trauma to be the person he is
he's somehow involved in the project I assume, that will be the big tweest
>>142807958
Sonozaki picked him out. Or was it the researchers? One of them know something about him.
>>142807760
yeah right like you could afford $6 per month without selling your dick sucking abilities on craiglist

>>142807952
It's not that they charged for people to watch fansubs, even though that + turning on them after going legit was a weasel thing to do. It's the fact that they proceeded to join Funi and crusade against the evils of fansubbers, copyright infringement, and torrenting. They're ruthless, hypocritical pieces of shit.
>>142808047
it doesn't get too much worse
>>142807952
Farmer John decides to plant some turnips in a field that doesn't belong to him, and then gives the turnips away for free. Mr. Crunchyroll sees this, and starts taking the free turnips, washing them, and selling them to people in his own little turnip stand. Farmer John and his customers think this is bullshit, but whatever. It's not even Farmer John's land in the first place.
A few years later, Mr. Crunchyroll gets a startup loan and makes friends and partners with the guys that actually own the field. Then Mr. Crunchyroll goes back to the field and starts trying to tear up the turnips, screaming that Farmer John and all the people he gives free turnips to are criminals, and only the legal turnips that Mr. Crunchyroll now grows and sells are okay to eat.
That's pretty much it.
>>142808228
It's been constant escalation so far, so I expect it to get worse from here. Really loving the way the Purple Pervert, Kats, and Nico task force is getting to the bottom of the mystery.
But now it's the rooftop, and this is probably going to hit way too close to home.Because I think I'm about to watch Tenga do something I once did myself.
>>142808511
That's half the appeal of the show though. You come to love the characters because you were once that young, stupid, and totally clueless about love and your own feelings in general.

>She dies,

Hah, Tenga's got more balls and even less sense that I did. This has been a good ride so far, although not always a fun ride, and I'm looking forward to next week.
This cast was goofy as hell at first, but they've really grown on me.

Holy fucking shit I want do Urushii so bad.
>>142808874
I think her eyes are pretty sexy
>>142808744
I've seem infodumps that were a heck of a lot more forced then this episodes. Kacchon actually becoming something of a real human being redeemed a lot, and I thought Chidori's outburst really summed up what she was thinking the whole time. It was a neat way of getting across that she wished she'd kept things the way they were instead of even trying to confess to Kacchon.
>>142808881
Kiznaivers has the best eyeporn in anime.
>>142808785
As I said before too many conveniences and the terrible pacing is what is ruining the show for me.A lot of questions are still unanswered and we have two episodes left. Feels like a rush job will be happening.
>>142808890
It was forced though. Like seriously, why were the broken kiznaiver kids just sitting there randomly when he was talking to the counselor?
Chidori's outburst was again nonsensical bullshit like all her actions are. Do I have to recount the idiocy of last episode when Kacchon tried to hug her?
>>142808966
Can we ban people for using the forced buzzword?
>>142808874
I want these two to just fuck already.
>>142808997
Don't like it, put in the filter you sensitive fag.
>>142808966
>why were the broken kiznaiver kids just sitting there randomly when he was talking to the counselor
Because they're broken?
>>142801913
It's so good with that odd ambient BGM.
Just shines with purity.
I didn't see Ninja Slayer, and the Supernatural battle anime was sub par, but does this anime truly confirm that Trigger has saved anime?
People were praising them during academia, but it seems so far, with their track record, they are pushing through the ranks to become the best studio in the present.
>>142809090
Nah, it's already a good indicator that I can completely discard the rest of a post.
>>142808966
Come on, you'd be upset if the person you'd loved for years rejects you, then turns around and hugs you, not in a romantic way, but in a way that shows he has no idea what's going on and doesn't really understand what you're feeling.
>>142809117
No, why were they just sitting there at that particular time?
>>142809214
Except that was her heart speaking....how do you explain that? Hell how do you explain how they can do surgery tht leaves a scar on the wrist but can cause the wrist to glow during emotional turbulences, be a communicator, has telepathy and can share pain to other people. We still haven't gotten an explanation on the inner workings of it.
>>142808966
>Do I have to recount the idiocy of last episode when Kacchon tried to hug her?
You just never felt this kind of complex situation, this is incomprehension is normal for people like you who never experimented that.

Their last good memories before Kiznaiver system fucks them up is playing around in the garden, so they probably go there just to have that small semblance of feelings before going to sleep or something. It's the evening, after all.
And the counselor brings Kacchon there because she knew they'll be there.
>>142808966
>terrible pacing
Not sure what you're getting at. The show's done a really good job of building tension, the releasing some of it, just to ratchet up the tension another notch for the next cycle, which usually coincides with the Kiznaivers becoming more sensitive to each other.
>rush job
I admit, that worries me a lot too. There's probably not time to set up a fulfilling ending at this point, and another season (haha) would be way too much time.
>too many conveniences
That's actually part of the genius of the show: the nearly Truman Show manipulation of events by the ever-watching experimenters. This allows for some of the tight timing and other things that would be true bullshit in any other show to make more sense, at least during the missions.
>>142809267
>why are the broken kids sitting there?
That's pretty standard with some types of invalids, actually. Many hospitals have enclosed gardens or other outside areas for terminal patients to get some fresh air, a dose of sun, and a taste of nature. Even vegetables get wheeled out there from time to time, in case they're still 'there' enough to get some benefit. Nursing homes (at least decent ones) are a prime example of this sort of thing, bringing people who can't walk, talk, or even really think on their own out into the garden for what good it can do them. Palliative care, Jesus H. Christ.
>Chidori's actions are nonsensical
Yeah, no. They make a lot of sense. She wants Kats' affection, and holding her would be sign of that. But when he does it, she realizes that his heart isn't in it (as it obviously was with Nori), which makes it worse than worthless.
People deeply desire things in their heart that they realize as soon as they get them that the very thing they desired isn't truly what they wanted at all. but until they've got them in their hands, they have no hope of realizing that it isn't what they truly want.I never thought I'd be defending Okada's writing one day.
>>142809267
>Except that was her heart speaking....how do you explain that?

The scar is symbolic.

This is why a scifi story is interesting dumbass. The show gives you few elements, and your work is make a theory based on your scientific knowledge for explain everything.
Not your fault if you haven't imagination or can't stop your incredulity.
Yamada revels in carnage just for shits and giggles
I love how needlessly edgy he is
>>142809392
Not to mention, in the metaphysical sense, the 'heart' isn't logical. It doesn't progress and create through logical incremental steps like the brain. It jumps from one idea to another idea as the feelings ebb and flow. That's what 'the heart', or emotions, are supposed to be.

>That's actually part of the genius of the show
I don't think that's what he was talking about. Kizna tech has had no explanation whatsoever. No rules have been established, not even magic psuedoscience. They even skip the operation so we can't know how they do it.
Everyone just feels each other pain because reasons. Also, they all share emotions because reasons. If their hit by enough emotions, that'll make them share thoughts because reasons. And all of the feeling that got siphoned by Sonozaki because reasons also gets transformed into pain because reasons. Feel sorry for the ill girl! Also, everyone's hair turned white because reasons. Even though Sonozaki got drugged to remove her feeling just like all the vegetables she hasn't turned into a vegetable because reasons.
Oh yeah, and here's a convenient love hexagon for some extra drama. We're gonna drop, like, half of it though if you don't mind.
>>142809512
I think it's worth pointing out that all those things you listed have an explanation that serves a purpose. Mecha varies from show to show, but it's generally anti-gravity tech or jammers. Psychic powers also varies, but it's supernatural 90% of the time. Sybil System having brains in it was a crucial plot element. Hooking up brains to a computer is about half science we're still figuring out and half wires, but we know it's pretty much possible at this point. Geass was entirely supernatural and existed since the beginning of the world. GN Particles were an analogy for Higgs Boson.
Meanwhile, we have Kiznas, which just do a million things that aren't entirely consistent because it's convenient for the plot. Almost nothing is properly established.
>make you more comfortable with the fantastic elements, you're shallow as hell, because that's nothing but fluff fluff
If we're going by typical storytelling conventions like this show does, properly establishing the setting is one of the singlemost crucial elements of suspension of disbelief.
>>142809548
>acting ridiculous and expecting the guy to mind read her
Not to go all /r9k/ on ya, but that's a real thing. Although, in this situation, he was reading her mind, but she didn't want what she thought she wanted. She wanted what he was giving to Nori when he hugged her, but got nothing but the physical act instead.
The moment when you're physically intimate with someone, and realize that there's no heart in it, can absolutely rip you up. If you've never experienced it, I'm happy for ya.
>she likes him again because she's jealous
Also realistic, but not exactly admirable. You could try making a case against Chidori being a good person, but a good representation of a flawed character is still good writing.
I'd argue that she was downplaying it by saying it was in the past, and even if not, old flames flare up damn fast. Besides, Kats had some serious improvement during the time her feelings turned back on (if they were ever truly off). But that's rather beside the point.
>the broken kids would be in a much better facility
Where people might ask awkward questions about what happened to these albino near-vegetables. It's pretty obvious they're trying to keep everything involved in the experiment under their control and under wraps.
Besides, Nori's still active, and they're connected to her. They're worth keeping around for science reasons, and giving them to anyone else is an incredibly dumb idea. If it takes the ridiculous analgesics/dissociatives to keep Nori in one piece with them just sitting around, imagine how much more it would take if someone was deliberately subjecting those kids to intense sensations/pain.
Imagine the kind of leverage any other organization would wield over Nori/the Kinza Project if they had possession of those kids. It makes sense to keep them around.
>>142809598
the fucking cutest
>>142809548
>muh Chidori isn't logical.
"Thehearthas its reasons that theReason ignores."
It's human feelings, it's casual to be paradoxical for this extreme feels. Did you studied ancient greecs playwright? I suppose no because this paradoxal feels and acts are fundamentals. You don't have to search logical or pragmatism in few of them, because this is when the characters are facing great difficulties, physical or psychological, then they are the greatest.
As I said, you never experimented this kind of situation so you can't understand how it works.
You seem inexperimented with basic humain relations
>>142809693
>an explanation that serves a purpose
It's all effectively the sufficiently advanced science indistinguishable from magic, no matter what words are used. Honestly, I'm happy they didn't bring any bullshit like "this is an outgrowth of cellphones, which allow people to share emotions through speech and text".
>properly establishing the setting
Town built/controlled by people trying to create and iron out the kinks in a mad science project. Also, run by the kind of people that would try a mad science project like this. May as well ask how NERV can haul Shinji Ikari in after his sulking-on-a-train stuff.
>Kizna's aren't consistent
As for explaining the Kiznaiver procedure/rules itself, there's tension between properly setting up your rules, and the journey of discovery. Dumping everything at the start is usually fucking awful.
At the beginning, we were told that it shares people's pain by splitting it up among the connected group. We get shown the examples of physical pain pretty fast. If you didn't think "isn't people's mental/emotional pain more painful than physical pain? How do you solve 'world peace' just through sharing physical pain?" sometime in the second episode, this show might not be for you.
We then get shown that by splitting the pain, one person can do something extremely painful, and not feel it as much as they would without the system.
Alright.
Then, the system gradually starts ramping up, sharing more things. Not much of a stretch. We finally get to emotional pain, and are told about 'words from the heart' as a final level. Then we go there.
Ok, so we've established all this stuff. and then they tell us "yeah, we tried an earlier version of the system, and it was buggy, and the sharing stuff didn't work right".
Still seems alright.
>it's painful for her because reasons
Imagine experiencing a jumbled, disconnected version of the sensations of nineteen people. Sounds like I'd need heavy drugs to deal with it.
>>142809693
>here's a convenient love hexagon
Most of it grew fairly believably/organically over the course of the show. Nico/Tenga was something I didn't see much of until just before it was important, but that's only a small piece of it. The Tenga/Chidori/Kats/Nori chain was well established.
>Nori's been drugged, she should be a vegetable
The vegetables are under the effects of what would be analogous to a full CNS dissociative. Basically, they're in the K-hole, where they're not getting any neural feedback from their bodies. Or something like that.
The stuff Nori's on is probably a more standard opiate painkiller, or a mixture of several things, enough to manage the pain without completely fucking her mind. Frankly, some of her actions seem more believable if you think "she's on some heavy drugs".
It's like how you can use a painkiller/opiate to dull/nullify pain without becoming completely anesthetized.
Stupid Theory-Time:
Something will happen that will link the two Kiznaiver systems together through Katsuhira, and then cause something to happen with the 5 vegetables or Noriko.Don't know if this is an original idea or not. Haven't been in that many threads.
>>142810345
not bad.
>>142810345
I think it already did in some manner. That could explain why in episode 9 Chidori, Tenga, Nico, Yuta, Maki and Hisomu fainted but Kacchon didn't. Some pain must have transferred from Kacchon to Sonozaki.
>>142810345
>>142810411
I think there's little hope Nori makes it out of this alive, which dishes any chance of Chidori having to grow up and move past the state she's currently in.

Except it really isn't. That's the point I explained. Even so, "a wizard did it," is just as bad as nothing at all. At the very least, a setting's ground for magic should have some visualization or explanation for what does what and how that impacts everything else.
>Town
The setting is not just a location. It's the laws of physics a world follows and why. It's the various groups who inhabit it. It's the history and time the setting exists within.
>there's tension between properly setting up your rules, and the journey of discovery
That's kinda beside the point. Spoken exposition isn't the only way to give details either. It goes along with the whole, "it shares their pain," thing well enough, but then the scientists who supposedly worked on the project don't properly understand how they work. They say it exists to convey pain, but then there was apparently a barrier for sharing emotion, something that was conveniently left completely unmentioned until it was important when all it would take to work was change the word "pain" to "feeling", which is effectively the same. It probably has something to do with the nervous system, which would justify how they can share clearer thoughts, but why in the world is that set behind an emotional pain limiter? How? Was that even intentional or not? Why is it that the scar is on their wrists? Logically it would be because that's the best place to easily display the holograms, but the carpal nerve isn't exactly the most efficient place to be sending messages up and down. It's also not the case because Sonozaki and Kacchon's second scar are on the back of the neck and chest respectively. Does the location have any impact on how they work like a frequency or something?
(continued)
>>142810014
>>142810494
The two delinquents sharing one on their forehead suggested this, but Kacchon and Sonozaki's are in two different locations and function just fine together. Also, how in the world does Kacchon's make itself disappear and reappear as the plot demands? Why did their group's signals all feed into Sonozaki other than just because? How are the scars made to actually insert that tech into them and why does it have to have such an ornate shape? Why doesn't the location matter? Even if it doesn't why wouldn't there be a more uniform surgical procedure? How in the world do those holograms even get projected? Is it part of the city or does it somehow penetrate their flesh? What the hell are, "words of the heart"? What the fuck? Emotions can form clear and complex ideas based on what language a person's brain is programmed in? Who invented the Kizna? Where are they and what's their role in this? Shouldn't they be supervising the experiment? We know the two teachers weren't the inventors because they used to just be lackeys. Why does the Kizna affect someone's pigmentation? I could go on all day if it weren't for the fact that I'm running out of space for two whole posts.
>Imagine experiencing a jumbled, disconnected version of the sensations of nineteen people. Sounds like I'd need heavy drugs to deal with it.
That alone would be one thing. It's explicitly stated that it wasn't just sensory overload, but all the senses were somehow multiplied and converted into pain. They didn't even say, "oh we wired it wrong," or, "there was a critical glitch," or anything. How could they? We don't even know how Kiznas are made.
To put it simply, there are an abundance of poorly or incorrectly conveyed ideas as well as completely pointless variables that only serve to create confusion. This is the polar opposite of proper setting establishment.
>>142810494
What you want is hard science in a soft science story.
You're not going to get it. If Kiznaiver had pretended to be hard science, you would have actually had a point. But it never did and you don't.

>a wizard did it is as bad as nothing at all
And what I've been saying the whole time is that talking about something like broadcasting amplified nerve signals, in a way that diminishes the original signals, or any pseudo-scientific explanation, is no better than "a wizard did it".
>they didn't say there was a glitch
They didn't have to say that. It's fucking obvious. They referred to a previous, failed iteration, and the very fact that they're re-doing the experiment shows that they didn't get good results the first time.
>locations?
Apparently, the device can be placed in multiple locations on the body. If we were working backward from what we've seen in the show, assuming there's a reason for it, we could guess that the locations for the Kinza were different on the children in the first test batch, probably to test for the optimal placement site.
Hell, let's go for it and say that the reason Nori's has the issue is because hers was tapped directly into her spine, instead of a lesser nerve, as the others seem to have been.
Now, in the second go-round, with data from the first one, the location was standardized to the wrist, probably because it was a decent balance of effectiveness without becoming overwhelming.
Bam, just extrapolating from the show's visuals, operating from the assumption that the writers/artists knew what they were doing, and there's a potential decent answer to some of your questions, including one of the big ones.
But why didn't they tell us this directly? Because infodumps are shit. As you said, spoken exposition isn't the only way to give details. Maybe the visual details here actually answer your questions, if you just look.Perhaps because they didn't have an explanation, and just threw in things that could be connected into one if someone was looking hard enough.
But there's probably another/different reason for the locations.
>>142810664
No. Three Star Tenga looks stupid.
>>142810527
It's not hard science. I'm 100% fine with absurd magic so long as it obeys it's own set of rules. It doesn't obey any. Things just happen because it's convenient for the plot plain and simple.
Time travel isn't hard science. Mecha isn't hard science. Psychic powers isn't hard science. However, I like and enjoy these things, especially if they actually have an explanation for their own set of rules to follow. That's what setting development is. I'm not saying this needs to have Star Trek tier Q&A or anything, I just want it to be consistent.
Actually try reading through that long list of questions. Most of them have nothing to do with actual science and wouldn't even exist if Kiznaiver would eliminate unnecessary variables. More of them still wouldn't exist if there were maybe one or two new characters. More of them still wouldn't exist if we were shown just about anything to do with what Kiznaivers are aside from scars.
None of this is hard science. It's all just setting and all that entails. Having a character to just answer the how of how this setting exists is just satisfying a suspension of disbelief.
>>142810586
It's not heavy nor is it analysis. These are big headscratchers I came up with without any break between them, most of which wouldn't exist if the creators were less careless with the pointless variables. Several of those questions literally just address the wording in the script.
>>142810606
It's the overabundance of technical details that have no impact on the drama that bothers me. Those technical details both have no reason to exist as well as no answer for their existence.
>>142810606
It's more like he's one of those people who really hate that one director and embarrassingly nitpick the shit out of everything they do because they can't seem to form an actual critique of the main aspects of the show.
>>142810752
It all comes down to that you want specifics in a McGuffin.
It's there to drive the plot and be a "gee-whiz" thing while exploring the effects of such technology. It doesn't need to explore exactly how it works because
a. It's not important to the story
b. It's incredibly boring
c. It's NOT important to the story.
Writers put what's important into the story and usually hand-wave the rest. What's important in this story is the relationships between the characters and how such a technology would affect them. It's not about the technology itself.
>>142810494
>>142810723
>why is the scar on their wrist
Now, for the potential thematic reasons. We're wildly stabbing in the dark here.
Wrists, because wrist-slitting is fairly standard self-harm. Ties into the "connected by our wounds" theme, and the theme of scars from past trauma and how people deal with trauma, movinig past it or not.
What about the different locations in the first group?
Well, the only ones we've seen are Kats (heart) and Nori (back of neck).
Kats' is fairly obvious. His first Kinza is his link to his emotions, and his pain. Or rather, his emotions, because of his pain, since most emotions arise like waves on the ocean of the human subconscious' desire to escape pain and seek comfort. For bonus points, it connects his heart to Nori, tying into the love polygon.
Nori's extends far enough around her neck that it's visible from the front, as if about to encircle her neck. It's killing her, strangling her like a noose, or the old French horror story about the woman whose head was removed by the guillotine, and wore a choker to hide the fact that she was really dead.
Then we've got the two lunkheads who show up for virtually no time, with forehead markings.
Small markings, possibly because they were never intended to reach for higher levels of synchronization, like the true experimental subjects. They've got the skull insulating them from the nervous system, leading to a less invasive connection.
And as for symbolism, well, the look like stupid birthmarks? I've got about as much idea as their Kinzas got screentime.
>>142810723
>And what I've been saying the whole time is that talking about something like broadcasting amplified nerve signals, in a way that diminishes the original signals, or any pseudo-scientific explanation, is no better than "a wizard did it".
Except it is. There's a world of difference from 'the world explodes because magic' and 'the world explodes because magic spontaneously froze the core'. The devil is in the details, etcetera.
>assuming there's a reason for it, we could guess that the locations for the Kinza were different on the children in the first test batch, probably to test for the optimal placement site
That's one really big maybe. And also a failure on Okada's part.
>say that the reason Nori's has the issue is because hers was tapped directly into her spine
That's an even bigger maybe. It's also worth pointing out that any number of answers about emotions or whatever would've worked.
>the location was standardized to the wrist
And yet the two delinquents get it directly in their skull? That sounds incredibly balanced and not overwhelming.
>why didn't they tell us this directly? Because infodumps are shit
Firstly, I can almost guarantee that almost none of these questions will have any bearing on anything else in the story. They're just pointless white noise that makes the other pieces fall apart. Secondly, a couple sentences here or there aren't infodumps, and that's all that would've been necessary for what wasn't either already obvious or easily solved.
>some of your questions
When none of them should exist, not good enough.
>Perhaps because they didn't have an explanation, and just threw in things that could be connected into one if someone was looking hard enough.

>>142810945
You could try explaining what you mean by that outside of ad hominem. Saying it's a magic mcguffin so you shouldn't care equates to saying a wizard did it or nothing at all. Even so, it's still not just a plot ticket. All the drama and character development revolves almost entirely on the Kizna.
>>142797783

Even if Nor dies there is no way Chidori will end up with Kacchon. The series has made a point just how toxic their relationship would be. She hasn't rejected tenga, or more like refused to, if anybody's gonna win anything its going to be him

>how of how this setting exists is just satisfying a suspension of disbelief
If you're not satisfied with "city built to conduct this crazy mad science, run by the kind of crazies who would build such a city for such a reason", you're not gonna be happy.
>unnecessary variables
Having scars for what's basically magic on different parts of the body and saying that's a significant variable is like those fags theorizing about what the soul gem locations of the megucas symbolize. There's shit that just isn't particularly important, and not important enough for the show to explain.
Like the particulars of why the first Kinza experiment failed so catastrophically. What we're told is that the central fractional sharing structure somehow didn't function correctly. Assumably, the scientists know why, since they prevented it in the second Kinza experiment, but they feel no reason to share the technical reason with the three screwed-up High Schoolers present for the exposition.
>>142810752
>actually read through the questions
I am, and I've taken a stab at the ones I found most interesting (Kinza locations, mostly). You've got an eye for nitpicking, but I think a lot of what you're asking about hangs together, if you're willing to start from the premise that the show has a sufficient reason for much of it, and you pull from a wide enough field of knowledge.
>>142811006
The thing is that a wizard did it really is an adequate explanation for this show. We get enough information to give the audience a basic understanding they can believe and anything beyond that is irrelevant to what the show is actually trying to do.
I don't know how you stomach watching anything if you need every plot to either be completely bare-bones or have an absurd amount of completely logical world building.
>>142811117
>If you're not satisfied with "city built to conduct this crazy mad science, run by the kind of crazies who would build such a city for such a reason"
I just need a name and five seconds of screentime of the project's head. Instead we get two people working on it.
>Having scars for what's basically magic on different parts of the body and saying that's a significant variable is like those fags theorizing about what the soul gem locations of the megucas symbolize.

That's what makes it unnecessary. Muh symbolism is satisfactory because it's at least something that creates a purpose, but otherwise, it's white noise that's harmful to the infrastructure of what Kiznas are.
>think a lot of what you're asking about hangs together, if you're willing to start from the premise that the show has a sufficient reason for much of it, and you pull from a wide enough field of knowledge
I find too much of it requires extrapolation. That aside, there are still big questions that haven't been answered such as what's going on with Kacchon's original Kizna and who's responsible for the experiment aside from those two teachers and the mayor, but I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens in the remaining episodes before we can say anything certain about those.
>>142811285
That's what I'm getting at. If the differences don't matter, then they don't need to be there. It just distracts from what the show is trying to do. That's why symbolism is a such a nice answer. 'Just cuz' is stupid.

Haha, good one. And saying "this system that shares pain shared it unequally to this girl (presumably because there was a problem, which is the whole reason why we're running the experiment a second time)" is not better enough than "they are vegetables because Kizna"?
>I'll throw shit at a wall and let the viewers connect the dots
EVA is still a masterpiece.This show isn't, but it's a lot better than you're giving it credit for.
>only hacks create details they don't need
>if it doesn't matter, it doesn't need to be there
This is nuts. It's like saying that a painting of a tree should just be a green circle atop a thin brown vertical rectangle, because individual leaves are unnecessary details that only a hack would add, since you can tell it's a tree from the basic shapes and colors.
Every work has detail is doesn't need. The color of the characters' shoes, for instance, in a work that isn't heavy into using color for themeing. This is especially relevant in visual media, since in writing, you can simply not mention the shoes, but you have to show them in animation.
>they're pointless white noise
>but they make everything else fall apart!
>all these meaningless questions should have answers! These questions shouldn't be able to be raised at all!
Your questions are on points the show doesn't specifically address, and doesn't depend on for it to function. You have failed to point out any glaring inconsistencies, which is where worldbuilding/tech/magic falls apart.
Fuck this, I'm going to bed.
You seem to have destructive intelligence. You can pick at holes and raise questions, but you don't seem capable or inclined to take a stab at answering any of those questions for yourself. You've got some intelligence, but can't read between lines to save your life.
You act as if you're smart enough to spot all the tiny flaws, but so dumb everything has to be spelled out in explicit exposition.
>>142811368
>I just need a name and five seconds of screentime of the project's head
Those would be the very 'pointless details' you're so up in arms about in other areas of the show. White noise. They'd add nothing to our understanding of what's going on.
And now that I think about it, you're still full of shit.
We got a name: the Kinza group. We got faces: the research team photo.
If you want a more current face, or a person the Mayor at least holds the purse strings, and is probably the closest thing to an executive head they have right now.
What's his name? Who the fuck cares and why would it matter?
Unless it was incredibly symbolic, there would be no reason for a name, and giving the mayor a symbolic name would smell ever so ridiculous.

That's not even what I was addressing, but okay.
>EVA is still a masterpiece
I would certainly argue that. It's only special as a character study and otherwise an overrated mess, and even then it's mostly just Anno projecting how depressed and shitty he was on everyone else, but this isn't the place for that.
>It's like saying that a painting of a tree should just be a green circle atop a thin brown vertical rectangle, because individual leaves are unnecessary details that only a hack would add, since you can tell it's a tree from the basic shapes and colors.
Pic related. That aside, with or without leaves, it's still a tree. What if that tree was dead, though? What if it was on a barren sand dune? What do these things mean? That's the important part.
>The story isn't about the character's shoes. It's about the Kizna. The Kizna doesn't exist in the real world, so how does it exist in this one?I would put meaning into the character's shoes, though. They aren't as unimportant as the seem. You can learn a lot about a person from their shoes.
>where worldbuilding/tech/magic falls apart.
Well, yeah. These are just headscratchers, not plot holes. I never said they were. This entire debate hasn't been about the entire quality of the show, just how it does this one part less effectively than it could. I'm nitpicking and others are blowing them out of proportion because they don't poke out to them. I said they threaten to infrastructure, not that the destroy it.
>>142811537
>>142811537
Think of it this way: the person in charge of a project normally oversees it. They're responsible for everything coming together. Instead all we get are our supervisors. That would be satisfactory if this was a larger scale experiment, but it's not. It's these two guys. As it stands, this one character would probably play a larger role if they were actually in it. Instead, we have those two guys.
>the research team photo
I honestly forgot this, I'm satisfied on this front.
>>142811712
That's great but you still haven't explained why the show needs more than those two guys.
>>142811752
A logical hierarchy and involvement. I already explained that.
>>142811778
But why does it need that other than to satisfy your need for pointless details?
>>142811812
It's not a pointless detail, it gives the story ground to stand on. The story isn't some surrealist abstraction of reality like Alice in Wonderland or something, it's setting is grounded in it's reality. Suspension of disbelief requires that the discrepancies between it's reality and our reality are explained. This is another discrepancy that is unexplained. The only excuses I can come up with are that those two are now in charge, which I don't recall ever being made explained, or Trigger didn't want to hire any more voice actors.

>>142811878
I thought the second Kiznaiver experiment (the one Tenga is on) is overseen chiefly by Sonozaki, aided by the two researchers, Urushii and Yaamada. You meant you want to know like the surgeons who implanted the Kiznaiver system, or the neuroscientists who monitored the brain waves?
>>142811955
I mean a lead scientist. Sonozaki isn't a scientist, she's just sort of there. If it's been stated it's just the three, then that'll have to do, but I would imagine the scientist who actually came up with the Kizna would want to see things through on the second project. I can see that one getting laid off, although an explanation would've been appreciated so that this story has a history propping it up.
>>142812024
Yaamada and Urushii aren't enough of a lead scientist? They're the ones shown watching over the brain waves (which doesn't really show anything) and say things like "PEA density" or something.
>explanation would've been appreciated so that this story has a history propping it up
I can see that perhaps an information about the organization overseeing the first Kiznaiver system might be important, but so far it seems like the story doesn't need that much information about the original organization, only that there's enough of a difference between the first and second Kiznaiver programs that leads to how the plot progresses in the anime.
>>142802139
You think this is game? This is a Trigger show directed by Okada. Vanilla end is impossible.
>>142802139
>everyone wins
This is genuinely impossible. Nico wanted to be with Tenga who wanted to be with Chidori who wanted to be with Kacchon. There will be heartbroken people.
Doesn't mean it won't have an 'everybody ends up with someone' ending, of course.
>Sushio posts key frames
>it's mostly Not Kamina

I wish I had a copy of the script so I could skim through it and confirm Yaamada and Urushii's roles. As it stands, it's still just messy but functional.
>>142812761
They're not wound bound anymore.
>>142812786
Nico's actions in episode 10 certainly seems to lead that way.
>>142812821
wanna bet
>>142812632
>This is genuinely impossible
Really? Happy end is possible for those 4 at least.
Nico is rejected but gets to befriend Maki at last.
If we go by visual cues™, Chidori likes Tenga quite a bit and their relationship will develop.
MC will get his waifu.
Only Yuta is royally fucked.
>>142812880
By their current goals, an 'everybody wins' ending is impossible because Tenga's goal is incompatible with Chidori's goal. Of course, if by the end of the next two episodes (is this really 1 cour? damn) they shifted their goals a happy end for everyone could be possible.
>>142799283
Chidori = Nico > everything else > shit > sonozaki
>>142812802
Like, do you want to have their official titles? It is pretty clear at this point that for the second Kiznaiver program Yaamada and Urushii are the lead scientists, or at least lead technical engineers. Sonozaki's role might be more of the chief.
>>142812917
Exactly - you don't even know what Chidori's current goal is. I strongly doubt it's still getting into Kacchon's pants no matter what. If anyone needs to move on it's her.

>The series has made a point just how toxic their relationship would be.
Not really, much of the dysfunction is due to literally forced drama and misunderstandings (kiss that never happened, being stood up except not really, etc.) and that's looking at things from how Chidori is experiencing it; for Katsuhira's, it's actually been positive (the personal confessions in the earlier episode, Katsuhira finally standing up to his bullies because of Chidori's rant).
An ending with Tenga could very much possible but could also be a lead by the nose, same as with a Sonozaki ending for Katsuhira.
>>142813781
kachon suddenly having feelings for chidori at this point would be a new level of okada meme. The guy literally said he had been thinking of nori chan in hour a day before he even knew it was her. Literally the only time he thought of chidori last episode was when hisomu noticed he had no food. This is past being an autist, he really doesn't care about her compared to nori, so much so that a chidori end at this point would be incredibly forced.
>>142796568

Of course he would: unbeknownst to him he knew Sonozaki in the past. This is important to understanding shit about himself. He doesn't put so much focus on Chidori because she's the everyday, but he has when provoked like during the camp trip.
>Literally the only time he thought of chidori last episode was when hisomu noticed he had no food.
He was staring at her doing class and jumped up when he heard a noise, thinking it was her. The point is life without her feels unusual to him. You're making him out to be colder than he actually is.

We haven't been given signs that she has moved on. She is still torn up over the thing. What I don't get is why she didn't even try to contact Kacchon since she is also his friend.

>>142814822
>Kacchon and Sonozaki close to each other, facing the same direction

Clearly Kacchon/Sonozaki is canon, Tenga/Chidori is not happening, and Yuta/Maki will remain one-sided.
>>142803474
Darker than Black and Shadow Hearts were the best shit ever.
>>142814769
She wants to be left alone after all that happened. She's in a similar boat as Maki, close relationships have burnt her and she fears getting close again. Not like he's trying to contact her either, he's hesitant as well.
Potato, Masochist, and Retard developed because they're weirdos and things can only go up for them.
>>142814769
>We haven't been given signs that she has moved on
"I can't win."
The rest is coming up. She's not that retarded, gradually she will get over him completely. Her wanting to stay away from him after the mess that happened is also realistic. Everyone has decided to maintain their distance. Except for Purple, who was lucky enough not to get involved in shippingshit, and Yuta, who is the opposite and goddamn hopeless. Nico holding hands with the two guys she had 0 - zero - drama with is an irrelevant development.
>>142814893
And if Nico and Purple are facing or close to each other, they'll happen too? Anon, calm down.

>>142815122
>"I can't win."
She did that before she became even more dramatic.
> Her wanting to stay away from him after the mess that happened is also realistic
She was his friend and she looked out for him. Was her kindness and friendship predicated on him not liking another girl?
>>142814628
>when provoked
when those are the only times in the show we see him showing any response to her, and when the most recent example happened because he was forced to address it via tenga, one would assume it's because he doesn't want to see his friend hurt vs having deeper thoughts for her. especially when the most significant emotional response he has given in the show was given to someone else aka nori.
>staring
Are you the type that makes every glancing gesture to be some 2deep4me meme? it was the first time he had seen her in weeks anon. Fucking tenga showed more response to her during yamadas teasing. Yes, kachon is aware that life without chidori is different, as would anyone else when they don't have some one to basically be your parent anymore. but if you think that equates to muh he has feelings for her that he doesn't realize when the entire point of the nori subplot is about him becoming more aware of and regaining his feelings/pain, then i just feel like you're ignoring whats present in the show to suit your own narrative. no offense.
>>142814728

Like I said, that's just the beginning and the rest is coming up. It was a huge realization for her. Her reasoning for being Kacchon's №1 waifu crumbled on the spot at that very moment. The "hug" served to ruin her hopes even further.

Yui may not be selfish as Chidori yet both are dick carving whores for their autists, at least, Yui did something about it at the end of volume eleven and revealed she isn't a nice girl as he think whereas Chidori wallowed alone with her curtains closed. Chidori would slightly redeem herself if she admit something similar "I'm not a goody-two shoes."

You'd be right if she said it out loud for him to hug her but it was just her emotions that others heard.
And Kacchon doesn't know anything about how real humans work so he just hugged her without thinking.
Though it appears you don't know either.
Please kill yourself.

His relationship with Maki is so hopeless and only friendship end await his future with her.

Only Nico is apparently getting rejected. I expect Yuta will fuck off away from Maki on his own, Chidori will move on on her own as well, and the only mystery is how Katsuhira/Nori-chan and Tenga/Chidori are going to be resolved.
>>142816176

>>142816238
>Basically what I'm saying is how do you know they're not vapid people only getting close to Yuta because he looks good
Initially, Yuta told Maki the same to her, he liked her because of her appearance. Until, he began to know her. If Yuta turned a 180, so can they.
That, and Yuta archetype was the normalfag, so he could fit into the vapid, superifical popular crowd. That is probably a reason they are apart of his groupie. He commented that, the six Kiznaivers was apart of the weird crowd and he didn't want to associate with them earlier in the beginning of the season.
The point is, Kiznaiver have shown the characters aren't defined by the self-appointed sins Noriko gave them and they are layered individuals. Or, rather a in-universe example: Noriko realized they aren't so simple and one-dimensional and abandon the themed naming. Yuta probably never tried to understand them and kept the relationship as status quo.

My question was why would Yuta just stop without Maki doing anything, which is a response to an anon saying "Yuta will fuck off away from Maki on his own". If Yuta 'fucked off' on his path of getting that Maki puss by Maki telling him they should be friends first, I'm okay with that.

Yaamada reacted to the mental trauma of the first Kiznaiver project by becoming sadistic and excessively cold hearted, severing his emotions in the name of research. Urushii reacted more normally, becoming cautious but remaining somewhat connected to reality and receptive to the emotions of the test subjects.
>>142818546
Slightly disturbing.
>>142818616
Clearly what needs to happen is Urushii warming up Yaamada's cold heart with a dose of furious sex.

>which is a response to an anon saying "Yuta will fuck off away from Maki on his own".
I disagree with that anon. Yuta tried to befriend Maki, he even noted summer break is over to her. I think he would've continue to reach out to her regardless. The problem with him, similar to Tenga spying on Nico and caught her befriending Hisomu and Katsuhira, is neither of them know how to open a proper narrative to convey their words across. Episode ten shown they tried to make amends and all, yet they haven't experienced a situation as they are currently in, it come off as probably nervewrecking and anexiety ridden for them because they can't get a read on the others. Despite that, I still think Yuta'll try.
>>142819029

>>142810450
I love to envision that Yamada was the current Urushii and Urushii the olden Yamada.
>>142808874
Yamada probably had the elder brotherly aura and when the children became who they are, developed an uncaring attitude because why continue to care for them when they aren't expressive as they were, he sought them as they were experiments.
Whereas Urushii felt indifferent and didn't care for them until the children became who they are. Her attachement to Noriko could stem from her seeing Noriko trying to retrain her humanity and realized they aren't experiments.
>>142818552
You can't be this slow. Yuta will try to be friends with her because it's the only thing he can do at this point. That will lead him nowhere in the long run, so he'll give up on romancing her because he's not an idiot. Maki won't chew this shit over for him again or reject him personally.
>>142819782
This is not actually opposing my argument, which is that I find it hard to see Yuta giving up on getting close to Maki on his own.
>>142819829
And the initial argument was - Yuta will fuck off on his own, as in stop pursuing Maki romantically without her explicitly kicking him in the balls.
There won't be a rejection chain or whatever next episode.

>Not sure what you're getting at. The show's done a really good job of building tension, the releasing some of it, just to ratchet up the tension another notch for the next cycle, which usually coincides with the Kiznaivers becoming more sensitive to each other.

No, no it has not. It has been lukewarm most of the time with literally NOTHING happening disguised as "building relationships" when it was just the most bland hanging out most of the time.
And bitch, I'm a fan of drama, I know when nothing is happening.
This series is ultimately a flop since can't sell a 12 part show where the majority of the episodes are weak.
>>142822375
I want Yuta to start disregarding females and focus on acquiring currency. I bet Maki secretly enjoys being chased by him, fuck that shit.
>>142823964
She's in a very similar situation to him, and knows it, and can't see doing what he's doing helping the way she feels at all.
She knows, or thinks she knows, how much having Kats reject her would devastate her, and can't understand why Tenga would willingly seek out that same pain.She might be missing the fact that she's known (and cared for) Kats most of her life, while Tenga has only known her for a summer. Getting shot down and moving on is a much more viable solution for him than for her, but she's in no condition to see that.
Or maybe she's trying to keep stringing him along, but I'm not she's in control of herself enough to be quite that manipulative, consciously.
>>142824009
>literally nothing happening disguised as building relationships
But that's how people work, reading emotional meaning into literally nothing. Growing ridiculous feelings in their hearts for the smallest external reasons.Doing shit like falling in love because they tried to get someone else to fall for the girl.
It's nice to see a show that doesn't fully fall into "now watch them all do nothing" without making everything a big emotional moment.
The pacing might feel better because I've been shotgunning it.

She thinks feelings should be given more thought than that. Tenga's essentially asking her to reject him after he's just confessed as if it'd solve everything immediately, and she can't do that. She doesn't want to reject him like this, or at all.
It'd be very much like the autistic Katsuhira casually taking a dump on her confession.

I think that her statement about that being in the past was mostly false (consciously or unconsciously).
Even if it wasn't false, did you seriously miss all the moments where Kats becomes more like he used to be, or when he makes progress in other areas, like realizing that the extortion hurt her as much (or more) than it hurt him? He's been turning back into the person she originally fell in love with.

Maybe if you give up and more on, sure. But if you stick around them, live close to them, cook for them, walk with them regularly, yeah, no. Twelve years of that, and you're still majorly invested.
Twelve years is enough time for a wound to heal, unless you pick at it and peel the scab off every day.Yes, I did just tie this to the entire 'wound' themeing of the show.

>That cuts both ways
But not everyone projects themselves emotionally at others like she does. This is why Maki's emotional turmoil was seemingly so sincere, as she understood the actual value of her feelings, and only shared them with others when let known it wouldn't be a burden. But Chidori just spewed out her emotions selfishly.
So can we say it's official that the Kizna project is an abject failure?
With only seven linked people, their conflicting emotions, desires, pain, and empathy caused a near feedback-loop ITAI meltdown, after only a few weeks.
Being able to feel each others' pain, emotions, and thoughts from the heart brought them little closer to being able to truly understand each other (or themselves: case in point, Chidori), and couldn't get them to truly resolve any issue where they were in conflict. (Maki could get closure because her situation didn't involve conflict with the rest of the group.)
If the plan is to connect everybody together for world peace, there's no hope at all.

No, complete opposite, presume harder. I'm the part of /a/ that hates, say, feels threads, as they're nothing but a pandering circlejerk. But you sound like you openly participate in such emotional projection, when really your emotional spew is not worth sharing with others.
>>142823964
My interpretation:
Tenga wants Chidori to properly reject which will ultimately make him feel "good."
Chidori is wondering what that has to do with her, in terms of making her feel better as well. She claims that even if they were still connected via kiznaiver system, she wouldn't feel the "good feeling" that Tenga would feel from being rejected, because that feeling isn't hers anyway; it's only Tenga's. The idea being that even if kiznaivers share feelings, they don't share the experience that gives context to those feelings.
Dumbest thing I ever seen is when Nori-chan said she loved the mc.

She deserves nothing. Kacchon has no obligation to return her feelings and affection. A friendship isn't a mutual contract, it's something you do from your own goodwill, and you shouldn't expect a return like some kind of investment. That just makes Chidori selfish and self-centred.
And just how much did she do for him? Sure, she cooked and made him meals, but they also happened to be neighbours which made it convenient for her to go out of her way. But what about where it mattered?- she didn't do a thing to stop him from being bullied and picked on constantly, while Tenga popped in and stopped that overnight. She just relied on her biased feelings to dote on Kacchon uselessly, essentially using him for her own needs.

Holding Maki up as an example of how to deal with emotions is dumb. Folding everything away inside yourself isn't living your life correctly. It's a screwed up illusion.
Spewing them on anonymous imageboards while holding them inside IRL is arguably worse.
>>142828984
That doesn't excuse gross lack of effort. She made an effort to care so long as convenience allowed her to.
Notice in this last episode she doesn't even bother to feed Kacchon, nearly allowing him to starve to death, as it's no longer convenient to interact with him. She knows he can't feel hunger, yet nonetheless her care for him goes out the window as soon as her biased feelings are at play against her. A real friend would remove themselves emotionally from the equation to help a friend in need. My fish probably don't even know I exist, yet I make an effort to feed them anyway. But Chidori would conclude the fish aren't worth her effort as they don't return on her initial investment, and become offended. But neither the fish nor Kacchon are at fault. She knows this too, but nonetheless makes it seem like his fault.

>normal human being
Did you miss the part where he was subject to inhuman torture at a young age against his conscious will and consent? Chidori clearly did, as she never questioned why someone can't feel pain and is so reserved from everyday life. It's her fault, and her fault alone for falling for him and than ignoring that just maybe he's not a fully functioning person, and then expecting anything of him.
>>142829227

>tuna gave her someone she didn't think could reject her
These arguments are fun, but let's step back and give the show credit for creating character with interesting enough motivations and actions that we can argue back and forth about what they're doing, why they're doing it it, and whether they should have done it differently.
>>142828913
>Nico left out
She's actually dealt with the love-polygon the best of anyone, realizing that there was more to the summer than love and heartbreak, and reaching out to the friends she did gain.I'm going to be sad if she loses because she actually dealt with things in a moderately healthy way.
>>142829103
But in cases where she may not be able to provide, what happens then?
At least call like once a week or something.
>>142828604
Keep your feelings to yourself, you're being rude.
>>142829388
You do realize that Yuta is clinging to a very heavy girl himself, right? Do go on, quote him more.
ITT: Nice guys defending Chidori, and claiming she was betrayed, because if they admit she never really had a romantic relationship with Kats, they invalidate their whole way of life.
>>142829413
>Uh huh, Yamada-sensei would've surely "helped"
And he did. Episode five. If him and Urushii didn't intervene and set up the camp therapy session they would've continue to bully him.
Shitdori did nothing except whine about herself yet again "I had to share his pain too, how did you think I felt when you did that to him" she should an hero next episode.
>>142829413
>stand up
Probably like the loveless hug, he realised in order to make the pain stop he has to do whatever to make her happy man.

>yuta said it best in episode 5, any guy who isn't an autist is going to ditch a heavy and clingy girl
Damn, I forgot that. This show is more self-aware than meets the eye; from the surface, it almost looks like they're completely pushing for some level of sympathization for Chidori, but even from the start they were subtle in the supposedly blatant melodrama.
>>142828081

I'd give Yuta the credit since he is talking from experience, probably dealt with that with one of his harem girls.
>>142829382
Did you miss the part where nothing tuna ever did satisfied "Chidori's needs" yet she stuck by that babby's side precisely because he's not a fully functioning person and needs basic help?
>>142829579
>clinging to a very heavy girl himself
How about to watch the show, retard. She comes onto him first and foremost, which opens up a window into her emotional self that Yuta sympathized with. He wants to help her, not get into her pants. But Chidori wants her feelings returned, and when they aren't she gets all flustered. Yuta persisted, Chidori faltered and failed.
>>142829579
>Yuta is trying for a very heavy girl himself
That's what makes it so great. He can logically see the problems with what he's doing, but that doesn't stop him. It's wonderful.
The dog doesn't chase the car because he can catch it. The dog doesn't think about the act that the car will run him over if he catches it. The dog just chases the car, because he has to try to catch it.
Men are dogs.Some women are, too.
>>142829579
when yuta said heavy he was clearly talking about chidori's type of heavy ie being a clingy pms bomb. maki has baggage but she isnt a tumblrina IRL
>>142829793
Chidori doesn't flip her shit over every little thing that she doesn't like.
>>142829766
Yes, she was his friend, as long as it didn't inconvenience her. I suppose you missed the commentary from the start, the entire premise of the experiment. Because people are selfish, people are indifferent, and not all feelings and gestured are returned in like.
>>142829712
it's like you completely missed the part where he said annoying. it's hard to be that in maki's case when she literally closes herself off and avoids sperging her feelings.
>>142829864
>doesn't flip her shit over every single thing she doesn't like
She did, at the start of the show, but got better about it over time, as she felt the pain her tsuntsun fits were causing people.
She changed a bit, but not enough to get a happy ending.There's no way Okada won't fuck up the last two episodes.

Yamada staged another shitty horror movie you retard. It was CHIDORI'S rant that triggered the change in Katsuhira's attitude.

TENGA. He is the one pushing his bro to exert himself and that is what Katsuhira did.

Katsuhira would've tagged team with Tenga and pulverized the crude out of them.

Hah. That's not what I've been saying at all. What she's been doing is understandable, but not a great way to deal with things.
That doesn't change the fact that the fags going on about how Kats betrayed her, and how she deserves him are delusional.
>>142830232
You're an idiot. She wants him to have the affection for her that motivated him to hug Sonozaki, and because of that, she wants a hug too. But when she realizes his heart isn't in it, like it was when he hugged Sonozaki, the thing she thought she wanted turns out to be the worst thing in the world.

And I also pointed out Tenga didn't even know Kacchon, yet nonetheless went out of his way to help him. You're ignoring the original topic at hand, even that I addressed just what I meant by "inconvenience". Don't reply if you have nothing to say, retard.
>>142830145

You can't really blame her for getting hurt over witnessing shit like Noriko's extremely autistic PDA with Kacchon though. They might as well try having sex while she's watching.

Fanfiction.net is over there.
It was Chidori who forced a small but necessary development out of Katsuhira right there. And there was no dumb fighting. Amazing.

>>142830652
>sperging emotional rants
Let's be fair, by the time she went for broke in ep. 9, Kacchon had spaced out and run out of the building in the middle of the confession Chidori had been trying to work herself up to give.
Then she was forced to watch him have an emotionally intimate moment with Nori (and Tenga reacted far more strongly on her behalf than she reacted).
>>142830740
>instantly spilling your more painful secrets to people you just met, because there's a magical science bond between you now
That would have been unbelievable.
Maki's arc was actually handled pretty well. The moment when she finally comes around with "we're not friends, we're Kiznaviers, more than friends or lovers" was great, and wouldn't have been possible had she poured out everything up front.
>>142830728
Listen, Chidori apologist. Not everything revolve around your shitty waifu.
It's through the combined effort from the Kiznaivers, Katsuhira became the way he is. Not Chidori. Maybe he wouldn't have fought them, yet he did talk to them, it would've happened even if Shitdori weren't there because one of the other Kiznaivers would've gave Katsuhira the initative, Tenga is a brute and likely tried to attack them but Katsuhira would have still tried to reason with them.
>>142830709
Says the sperg who thinks everyone that disagrees is a Chidori apologist.

Her fact is refined in the show. Here it's like a moonface, and flat.
>>142830840
>Chidori finally baring her heart meant nothing!

It was a team effort, as every good character growth in the series has been, but you don't need to be fixated on Chidori to see that her speech to that guy at the camp had a large effect on Kats.
>>142830864

Listen, dumb faggot. Not everything revolves around your shitty self-insert. He's the MC but his magical autism is not Chidori's fault.
If it weren't for Chidori he'd be not just moneyless, but also starving to death. Completely. Fucking. Alone.
You called Chidori's nagging useless, yet without her nagging he would never fucking realize what he did wrong. Now pull your head out of your ass and start watching the show with your goddamn eyes. Only two episodes left, for Chidori to, wow, HELP Kacchon again and receive jackshit in return.
>>142831204
She was sedated though
>>142831204
She was on drugs anon. She doesn't feel nothing in that state.
>>142831222
>If it weren't for Chidori he'd be not just moneyless, but also starving to death. Completely. Fucking. Alone.
All of that ended once Tenga moved in and both of them abandon him later on. They are both shitty. Deserve each other.
>>142831058
>ending the waifufaggotry
>wheredoyouthinkyouare.jpg.mp3.gif.webm
Although all sides of it frustrate me. Going for the "X is my waifu/husbando, and has done nothing wrong, and deserves to win!" is shit in this show, because they're all flawed in various ways, and have all dealt with at least some things badly.
Trying to downplay what they've done well, and play up what they've done badly, or ignoring what they've actually done well, and focus on the negatives are both shit.
Happy the show has characters complex enough to argue about, though.
>>142831222
>Only two episodes left, for Chidori to, wow, HELP Kacchon again and receive jackshit in return
You mean Katsuhira's true new companions Hisomu and Niko?
>>142831250
>>142831347
>Nori's heavy on the painkillers the whole time
I guess that explains some of her more awkward actions, and why she always walks slowly.
>>142831411
All I want to do is discuss is other things regarding the show instead of circlejerking around the same agruement regarding Chidori and her relationship with Katsuhira.
I'm genuinely interested in Hisomu and want to talk about him, couldn't careless about Yuta and Maki right now, and how Team Niko'll get the others to reunite.
>>142831222
not him but chidori wasn't putting money his pockets, his parents were.
yeah she fed him, so what? she's not entitled to anything more then a thank you and a good personal evaluation at best, certainly not his love. if she was doing it for that then it's for all the wrong reasons.
>>142831451
Even the stronger pain killers cannot take 100% of the pain. She is probably so use to the pain that she has learn how to function with it. But would still feel peaks of pain everytime Kacchon feels sharp pain. Like getting hit or something
>>142831365
Tenga is a freeloader. He can't take care of Katsuhira AND himself. No wonder he crushed on Chidori immediately, he's not autistic after all.

In both cases, there's not much to talk about, other than speculate about what they're going to do next episode.
What's interesting about hisomu at this point, other than his bro-tier antics on Team Nico?

>What's interesting about hisomu at this point, other than his bro-tier antics on Team Nico?
There is still the possibility he was apart of a unknown Kizna Experiment and his connection to Katsuhira.
In episode eight, he made a comment regarding the air pressure and later Yamada parrallel his words. There are a few instances of him hinting at he know something regarding the Kizna Experiment.
>>142831587
>Chidori's always been that way
>always thinking of others
B-but she's a selfish b-bitch, g-guys.
>>142831892
Interesting. I'd like there to be more to his character, but I feel like the remaining 2 eps isn't enough time.
>>142831777
Oh yeah Noriko will have the final word alright, before (almost) dying. She can't help anyone and needs help herself. Chidori will provide that.
>>142831581
Like jumping off a bridge and falling on top of a moving car?
