I just...I don’t understand how others can be proud or happy seeing the matsus ‘grow into adults’ in the last episode. Seeing them get jobs, go out on their own, and essentially grow completely separate from each other. All of it was so sad, and so so hard for me to watch.

It really felt like such bright and unique stars had been pulled down to earth and forced to dim down and assimilate into typical society like everyone else. To not only give up much of their happiness and freedom, but also big pieces of themselves.

Watching these shows have always been to help escape such a confined and ordinary fate, so seeing even them have to struggle with such things feels only like a painful reminder how difficult reality is to just exist in. That’s why we escape after all, isn’t it?

I don’t want to see them having to deal with such stresses and cruel limitations of reality...they deserve so much more than they could ever get from our kind of world as it is. Going into space, facing alien baseball teams, fighting feudal lords, climbing mountains, bringing flowers to life and facing the consequences...even just getting to go to Chibita’s oden stall and laugh together like the careless drunk NEETs they are because for once we are able to see people as being more than acting like an adult and having a job. They’re so lovable and genuine and wonderful as they are. Capable of so much without having to worry about such trivial things like surviving bill-to-bill or being held down by jobs they don’t even want.
