Just saying i have been bully a lot during my elementary school and trust me things can go that far sadly. I saw and also lived similar things (but never to the level of the mc tho)

2025-06-29 07:23:29 +0000 UTCI've seen so many people saying Marina needs to die and that she's evil and nothing can fix her or redeem her, and I felt the same way, but there was something bugging me about that. I kinda realized how much that proves the complete opposite. From Marina's perspective, shizuka is the embodiment of "You are the reason why my life is trash, you are the reason why my mom beats me. She needs to be taught a lesson" and for us, we look at marina and say "She is the reason why shizuka's life is trash, she needs to die." Nothing that she does is justified, obviously. But the fact that we as the audience are feeling so similarly to how marina is feeling, if defensibly, that Marina needs to die, or that we're happy she's being abused, it really shows that it's quite a believable reaction to have, to think "it's all her fault that my life is like this". I think this show is going to have a hard time redeeming marina as a character, but I'm growing to the idea of it more and more. This is the type of show where right and wrong become blurred, because they're simple concepts that don't map on well to complex situations like this. I think using the words "right" or "wrong" is completely pointless. The situation is awful, and I hope that it gets better for everyone involved :(

2025-06-29 07:11:30 +0000 UTCsomething that I feel strongly about now that I've seen it a few times is that this whole anime is from Takopi's perspective. The intro is happy and upbeat and sounds like it could be takopi's VA singing it but I could be wrong, the OST's mood reflects takopi's mental state, which is usually happy even if there's something awful going on, The art of Marina is cutesy and innocent, until takopi finally understands what's going on and everything changes
