Enjoyable reality – the seiyuu that Kawamata Sanae performs is known as Osanai. Sadly, that is likely to be my favourite a part of this episode. It truthfully forces me to confess that Shoushimin collection did not actually work for me general. However even in that context I believe I appreciated it higher when it was about nothing. As a result of bullshit about nothing irritates me lower than bullshit about one thing that is making an attempt to be critical.
I discover this collection principally self-righteous. And I am sorry I preserve evaluating it to Hyuka however they’re the identical creator and structurally fairly related, so I believe comparisons are inevitable and honest. I do not deny that Hyuka may very well be self-indulgent, however there was a core of that means to it. It was actually in regards to the expertise of a wise teenager who’s finally disconnected from what the world expects of you. Shoushimin is mainly only a bunch of ridiculous plot twists cobbled collectively to type so-called mysteries which are both so apparent that you just resolve them lengthy earlier than the so-called genius detective does, or make no sense in any respect and might by no means really be solved by anybody.
Given all this, it could come as a shock that I don’t hate this present, which I don’t. I love its guts, I assume, its dedication to simply ramble on with out a care on this planet about what sort of impression it makes. It’s additionally endearingly brazen. Plus, there’s a sure fascination in how twisted Yuki is, and the way far forward of Kobato she is at each second. Even assuming it have been potential for her to orchestrate this whole summer time right down to the final element the best way she did (it’s not), it could take a really chilly and twisted individual to place harmless folks by means of what she put the boys by means of.
Does all of it actually have any that means ultimately – the entire “making an attempt to be regular” thought? Jougorou isTo place it bluntly, extra atypical than not – just a bit bit smarter. And Osanai makes no try at being atypical in any respect, fairly the alternative. Which is sort of mocking him, actually. I believe we have now yet one more episode to seek out out, however I’m undecided I need the present to go there and I’m undecided it’s going to. I believe making an attempt to elucidate this premise away from dying can be a doomed train from the beginning, and so they’d most likely be higher off with an episode about Pocky or one thing.
