/cry/ - When They Cry

Let me tell you... I completely disagree it's the most epic anime of the decade so far.

it's pretty entertaining desu
the characters are still great and i can't have enough of the voice acting

I wouldn't say 'garbage', but it is pretty disappointing as a whole. Repetition was taken to an extreme in this one, which does make sense story-wise, but it doesn't feel as exploratory since we already know things. Previously, Ryukishi made it pretty clear that the viewer should investigate and form theories in their head at the end of each chapter, but what are we supposed to think about now? "I wonder who Satoko will pick this time" and then there's 2-3 episodes of them going crazy. I enjoyed the theorizing of early Gou, but that flew out of the window.
Hopefully we're nearing the time where new things begin to happen since Sotsu is nearing the end of Gou's timeframe... I think?

It's finally caught up. In terms of repetitiveness I think that if I were to ever watch this again I'd end up skipping to the flashback arc of Gou since there's not much else to it that Sotsu doesn't also cover with more detail. However I do think there was merit to Gou in the first place since the initial big reveal was a pretty huge thing.

When it comes to thinking about Sotsu there wasn't really any point to theorizing about what Satoko would do since we already knew what was going to happen, that's why it's the answer arc. What probably was the better thing to think about was the Umineko/Ciconia connection and what Featherine is actually up to.

I agree. Matsuribayashi was already pretty bad, but Sotsugou is just awful. The only thing that I like about this shitshow is Featherine's new design.

Fast forwards 2 weeks
Rika leaves for St. Lucia to get her nipah sucked and the real Satoko miraculously comes back and learns to let go and starts living with her uncle while still keeping in touch with Rika.

The End.
