    WTH, the episode really went “this is truly Takopi’s Original Sin”. Like Marina, I didn’t see that coming because I thought his original sin was breaking the rule about lending Happy Devices unattended. I’m now very interested on what happens next.

    The way Shizuka reacted after “that” was unsettling, yet very plausible. I’m typically annoyed by people who act like Takopi (aka Pollyannas), but the way his character is portrayed is very cathartic, as if it validates why the way he sees things just doesn’t work in the long run, because he just does not get it.

    The way this anime showed Shizuka’s despair is some of the best. Period. It really feels so hopeless and dejected and tragic.

    I don’t think we’re getting a happy ending in this one…

    I never would’ve thought that reaction “Wow just like magic” can be used in such a context…

    I guess all the happy shots from the trailer were just in Takopi’s mind.

      While this attitude Shizuka had may throw some people off, I think this could be some form of her dissociating after witnessing a traumatic event

      I guess all the happy shots from the trailer were just in Takopi’s mind.

      I think we also may be seeing some events through Takopi’s eyes as an unreliable narrator, like those sparkle effects around Shizuka’s face. I guess we’ll find out in the next episode whether this was what I think it was or the show is starting to lose its footing by trying to be too edgy and doing things just for the shock value

    I was wondering how they’re gonna redeem Marina over time but I guess that’s not the case anymore. I didn’t expect Takopi to solve the problem with a blunt force.

    Takopi being an alien from Happy Planet and thus not understanding the concept of bullying is so frustrating to watch at times. Didn’t expect this episode to end the way it did.
