Well its pretty safe to say that I’m blown away. After I watching Clannad and Oregairu, I honestly thought there wouldn’t be something I connect with so personally after. But this story man, it just gives me that gut empty feeling and the kick right after.
I’m in high school and I would say i’m a decently quiet guy who keeps to himself but after starting watching anime (and especially nhk), I feel like I understand myself a bit more. This show really is painfully relatable at times with Satou overthinking everything just as I do in some cases.
Also sidenote- Misaki stole the show throughout for me. I really found her story heartbreaking by the end after loving this character for 24 episodes and seeing her struggle. This show is so damn smart in so many ways these concepts (and struggles) characters go through and ideals are shown through visuals, and undertones throughout and sprinkled in through the story.
Anyways, sorry for the rambling post I just needed to get my very very initial thoughts out.
