i love this anime Soo much I've watched it twice so far I fell in love with their sense of style and the music,...gosh they are sooo cool 😩😩 idk if I have a favorite character but like at the top of my head it'd prolly be Ren or nana osaki and maybe shin as well the more I think Abt it I don't really think I like hachi. yes I understand that she had trauma from earlier and she def was a victim but after a while,....and it's all the fact that fact that she was Soo self aware that bothers me Abit like she knew takumi was using her, she isn't stupid, or dumb. and I don't even know why she didn't want to tell nobu the fucking truth😭😭but then she kinda said,...and if I remember correctly she said that she chose takumi not because of the baby or the money that she would have given her but simply because he was there for her and didn't judge her and I kinda get that but i think she kinda just wanted to be loved and she loves being loved u know I think her life wpuld def have been different of she had gone through with the abortion but who knows I hope that Ai Yazawa gets better so that she can finish the manga I just kinda curious to know what happens next coz some story lines are left hanging,.. and Ren dying caught me completely off guard and that fact that nana o just couldn't handle the grief and she ran,...I think that's a completely different kind of love that is so rare and to me it's kinda beautiful though many ppl would disagree,..I do admire their relationship although it was kinda toxic like the fact that when they were apart they just couldn't be emotionally stable,...it explains why Ren was doin drugs and why nana started having the panicky attacks,...I think their relationship would have totally worked out of they just communicated and talked openly and honestly about how they were truly feeling instead of pushing each other way because of their "ego" especially Nana's. I think in a word their relationship is def an oxymoron,..u know I also don't understand why people see Ren as a bad person and I don't think he has done anything wrong,... and also nobu being the type to have a savior complex is so unproblematic to me,...I mean is he not helping the women he is dating??? he's not hurting them, hes "fixing" them idk what to call it but yhh the scene where he breaks down and asks nana to lie to him Abt her still being together with takumi despite being them being in a relationship will never not be sad to me,..like even if it was a lie he would believe it and I think nobu was right to walk away and I know he completely felt defeated in a way cox I think in his head he just couldn't compete with takumi... the relationship between shin and reira just doesn't sit right with me. and yes reira is a pdf file 😭😭and the scene where they were in the van and reira tell shin that they will be seven years apart made by stomach turn,...like u just said those words and you are ok with it ???how???? 😭😭😭 shin def had and still has a tough life,..I mean his own father doesn't want anything to do with him and his mom killed herself,... and it makes sense he felt safe with hachi coz she was the only one who took care of him without really expecting anything back hence the statement "I wish u were my mom hachi"😭😭😭 I think shin also had conflicting feelings when it came to reira,...again coz of takumi,..I actually don't know what ppl see In this guy,..I mean yeah his has such an amazing voice and his hair and whatever,..but yhh Ig he also felt that he just couldn't compete with someone like that but again he is still just a kid surrounded by 20 year olds who were just as learning to navigate life and fame and it think everyone was just caught up in the idea of how they wanted things to turn out that they eventually forgot to care for one another anyways this is kinda getting long but I could go on and on and on Abt this show I just LoVE it and the soundtrack,...fucking amazinggggg omddssss I'm def gonna rewatch it soon
