"At least make it weird!"

i really love marina. and i love shizuka. and i love naoki. starting the anime i actually really really really hated marina, and ecpected to relate to naoki more.... i was wrong.... marina is my favourite now..

i wanted to blame takopi instead, but in the end it's not his fault either. you come from a planet where the biggest issue is stealing someone's pudding, so of course you cant understand abuse and bullying. you dont even know the words for suicide and kill.

what bugs me the most is that ive seen WAY too many people hate on shizuka and saying that SHE should die. like. youre no different than her bullies then? the three of them are kids (ELEMENTARY SCHOOLERS MIND YOU), you wouldn't expect them to make mature decisions. shizuka was constantly bullied by marina, so of course she was glad she died. marinas mother was mentally unwell because of her husband's behaviour and takes it out on marina, so of course marina would hit people. NOT SAYING THAT YOU SHOULD HIT PEOPLE OKAY. its just that 1) the kids couldnt ask anyone for help amd 2) they were never taught the correct way to cope with things.

way too many people expect children to be mature and it really worries me. as someone who's done horrible things when i was a young teenager it's really scary to see. ive gone through a handful of what the characters have gone through, and i can tell you that it eats away at you, and its painful. a child who was never taught how to deal with this type of stuff can only repeat it.
