Basically, the next story, about three friends and what happens when one commits suicide is getting changed. I don’t have much else to add aside from shaking my fist at society. Glad to see that the show’s going to be keeping its relatively dark side though. Well… was keeping it… We’ll see how this one turns out. Poor Fumika… being hampered in her duties already. All the boku in the world can’t protect you from the censorship brigade.

    Omg. They’d better have like 500% times more boku in the ep to make up for this, or I’m going to be super pissed.

    Since I am fresh to this, I don’t care whatsoever about the changes. As long as the show is right on schedule, I’m fine.

    […] Who hasn’t right? I think thats a part of human nature and a question that almost everyone has come across at one point or another in their life. That’s what’s so amazing about this show. I’ll say it again, but the storytelling in this show is so powerful and reflective on real human thoughts and emotion. The concepts of death, suicide, and the reasons for it were things that were presented in Zombie Loan too, so what makes this so much better? Probably the presentation, and how JCStaff has amazingly made it so that some scenes look like cinematography from a movie. The train track scenes from this episode in particular had me saying things like “5 Centimeters per Second” and “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time”. There were also the obvious Suicide Club vibes, but that’s something else. I was definitely reminded that this was on broadcast TV though, with the large black blurs on the side of the screen. I find it quite hilarious that they would censor the father’s gun, but not Fumika’s or the officers’. The media is a funny thing isn’t it? (For those of you who haven’t heard of the news, look here.)
