I don't really like Takamiichi either. How do you feel about him being from the Showa era?
I still hope I’ll warm to him at some point. While I don’t hate him at all, he just doesn’t seem as interesting or lovable as the other characters to me.
As for the Showa era thing, I guess it’s a silly, but nice, plot twist that won’t probably have much relevance in the long run. Sakamichi’s real age and the monsters’ designs are cute nods at the Showa era, aren’t they? I’m lowkey glad that the show actually acknowledged that 30 years have gone by and that his acquaintances (like the girl from the last episode, or his own brother!) have aged while he still looks the same. It’d be nice if they made jokes now and then about his being a middle-aged man at heart.
