Would you like to talk about shinaya some more? Or the series? No pressure, but you made it sound very interesting and I would love to hear more of your thoughts if youre up to sharing more in the future :))
OH YOU KNOW I WOULD π₯
I'm so happy you found them interesting!! But the whole series is indeed Confusing, even the die-hard fans had a hard time understanding the whole lore.
Pls have in mind that SUICIDE, DEPRESSION, DEATH, are the core major triggers in the whole franchise
AND OF COURSE it gets Long, so... just get ready π
If you want to get into the series I recommend starting from the songs to get the vibe, and then the manga (I think the manga got the nicest flow and you can get into the story with it, very suitable for new fans), and then the novels (they're 8 volumes in total, and while they're light novels, they're packed with so much Lore, the novels gave you more insights on the characters' backstory in details, very suitable if you want to dig more into the characters), and then the anime (which I don't recommend if you didn't know anything of the series, because the flow is very rushed and it is done by SHAFT studio which is famous for their artistic take in directing, and they done kagepro with so much symbolism and abstract take, it's just hard to understand if you're not a fan. The animation's also feels Wonky and Cheap).
Someone had put together all the kagepro songs and their animated MVs with english sub into one playlist, you can watch it HERE
If you're only interested in the shinaya-centric songs you can see:
Transparent Answer - A song about Shintaro's lamentation on Ayano. Tells about their friendship throughout the years and how he lost her. It is implied that Shintaro is the writer of this song </3
Ayano's Theory of Happiness - The song that tells about Ayano's backstory, what drives her to kill herself. It's Ayano-centric and doesn't really have shinaya elements in it, but Shintaro appears briefly in the MV. This one is very spoiler-heavy. Not graphic, but it also got suicide elements in it.
Additional Memory - Very Spoiler-heavy too. The song about Ayano's regret and loneliness, it's about her Feelings after Killing Herself and deep regret: she still wonders even now is this decision really the right thing to do... but she can't go back now. Also suicide and blood and death imagery throughout the MV.
Lost Time Memory - My fav song! The MV is just so revolutionary the first time I watched it, it completely Inspired me! This one is also spoiler-heavy on the whole story. It tells about Shintaro after the 2 years of him being a shut-in post-Ayano's death, in here he already met the rest of the characters (who actually got deep connection to Ayano), now he's no longer a shut-in and is slowly regaining himself and started to move on, but as I quote from the song "Years pass by, but your shadows still surround me" it's about how Ayano still lingers in his mind even after years and even if now he's not alone anymore. She still haunts him. This song also shows the "worst" timeline and how it parallels with the Shintaro now. It is not graphic but it got suicide elements in it.
