| I think I liked this show so much because the characters were so bad and unpredictable. It made the show gritty and psychological. Not everyone is smart under pressure, so I can agree with some things others find really annoying. I ended up watching every episode a few times before the next, trying to catch surprised and missed things. Definitely one of the animes I enjoyed every episode of and got into every little detail I could 10 out of 10. In my favorites now Don't be petty if you don't like the animation. |

I really like this anime even though there ep. I feel disappoint about. But in general I like the whole anime and the story. I wish there will be s2 for see Hayashi and Satoru living happy together |
| I think this anime had the potential to be the most iconic in the year. But the design, pasing, and animation, hold them back. Sometimes they throw you a ton of info and the passing was too slow. It was kinda mediocre in a way was about to drop it some weeks ago but I hung on and wont complain more 'cause the ending got me excited and I'm glad i watched the whole thing. this_shit_again said: What I keep circling back to is.. We never got the answer to how big a rapist Satoru actually is.. I totally forgot about this!!! The later information was so intense they made me forget it WTF |

JokerMac said: Really? Then I feel a little better about the ending, it really felt like something had happened to the author and they never finished it. I will believe it when I see it though.FuMomo-kun said: Since Mal says the manga is only 5 volumes long, I thought this anime would cover the whole story. Based on the incomplete feeling the ending gave, I feel like there is still some content that is yet to be adapted. Now, I just hope we get a second season! They actually adapted the entire story and the ending looks to be the same as in the manga (My Japanese still isn’t very good). Apparently though a sequel manga will be written so we might get to see a second season https://twitter.com/pet_anime/status/1244618379622666241?s=21 Anyway, this is the most 7.5 show I have ever seen. It would have been an 8 if Jin didn't randomly shoot Katsuragi a second before learning that he's her father. Maybe even if she just didn't continue to play along with her uncle in the end. If drama was the point here, it could have been executed way better. I guess that this is the sole reason why I'll give it a 7 in the end. |

Thank god the story was better than characters (IMO)I can honestly say I have never cared so little about a whole cast of characters.

My exact thoughts lol I guess in a way, it's still more memorable than most of the other shows of Winter 2020. |
| Does the manga continue from this ending? Or is the anime different from the manga? I was considering reading it |
this_shit_again said: Is it just me, or was anyone else creeped out with the relationship between Katsuragi and Jin's mom, Lianlian..  Kind of predatory if you ask me.. Yeah, I don't think she was able to consent, I thought it was very creepy and it made me uncomfortable |

Or is the anime different from the manga? I was considering reading it someone is scanlating the manga from the beginning tho so you can read it and compare it with the anime. https://www.mangaupdates.com/releases.html?search=35461&stype=series |
TGAvi said: By trash, I mean like... Not really a good human being and not being someone I would root for to live on. I didn't say they're badly written. Tsukasa is by far the most interesting.

Tsukasa not trash He was intresting charecter |
| Amazing. I was scared it was going to be a downer ending, but it ended on a somewhat hopeful note and we have news of a sequel. Tsukasa being a vegetable forever would have been depressing af Fingers crossed for an S2 🤞 |
| There was nothing wrong with that relationship it was... wholesome. Mentally challenged people deserve love too! Obviously this isn't you " typical " Society accepted relationship but she liked him at FIRST if that makes any difference and so did he! This was also written by a women btw if that makes a difference!!! I hope this get a continuation even though I hear the manga ended the same way |
| This one is pretty good anime. I hope there will be sequel. littlecrisis said: I'm so mad they left Meiling behind, kinda ruined the message for me. Saying they'd try to come back for her just isn't enough; she was right there with them dammit, all they had to do was scoop her up and limp away. luciojb said: Same thought here, though the ending had me thinking (because of Meiling's butterfly). The butterfly gave me a pause too - but then I realized Meiling got her butterfly from Hayashi, and Hayashi's peak turned out to be a faithful copy of the real world place - hence the butterfly in the final scene is probs real as well. Satoru couldn't even escape and walk without Hiroki's help. He also need to hypnotize Hiroki to make him think that Satoru is Tsukasa. Hiroki will ask why they want to bring Meiling along and would delay their escape further. Hayashi got his peak from someone else's which he copied from. He thought it must be exists in real life and he found it. soul_reaper_x said: Can someone explain what happened with Tsukasa at the end ? From what I got, after all his memories got erased, they are raising him as Long. Is that right ? Hayashi was the core of Tsukasa's peak. Hiroki erased Hayashi therefore his peak was no more and he got crushed. The boss hypnotized Jin to think that Tsukasa is Long. If she think Long is gone, she will either attempt to suicide again or get crushed too. |

She's hypnotized. |
| Damn quite sad for Katsuragi, even though he was mostly an asshole he was just being mindcontrolled as a puppet for The Company Quite the open end, wonder if they will release a second season I feel like the concept for this anime was good, but execution was bit poor. The animation wasn't the best and even felt terrible at times, the plot bit too confusing at times especially at the first four episodes and a some unlikeable characters even though there aren't supposed to be any good guys. Still pretty enjoyable watch, quite an unique one too which is always a plus given how some anime are following the same formula which can get boring |
 |
| I don't get why people hate all the characters - I honestly wanted Satoru and Hayashi to be okay, they weren't bad people. Even Katsuragi was endearing. Regardless, I loved it, I hope Imuri or the sequel manga get anime, too, even though y'all will hate it just the same... |
emraanash said: pretty messed up ending, season 2 is coming?! The sequel will titled "fish".. the manga fish still ongoing.. |
| Katsuragi always had something to him. He was just too scummy to be just scummy. The only question left was what was behind the manipulated memories. And yeah, that was really sad. Just as sad as Tsukasa's fate. And all the others. Other shows shock through the loss of life. This show shocks through the loss of memory. Reminds me heavily of a death poem saying life is but a dream inside a dream. Honestly, Katsuragi might be dead for good Tsukasa's is not that that different rgiht now. The ending was beautiful but I do not get it totally. So seeing this scenery of the original peak giver gives all users their original mindset back? If its like that, I would want to see the plays they had to make in the next season. I like the character design in this how everybody is flawed and does not just play to a certain clischee. Tsukasa's arrogance lead him to misstake after misstake and he was filled with regret. Hayashi underestimated the moves of the company and payed a heavy price. Hiroki acted like an almost perfect pawn to the very end and Satoru did so as well, though he took some initiative in the end. Man, I guess I have to reflect on this some more and let it sink. 7/10 anime. With a very weak to weak first half but it gained much more momentum and fit eprfectl towards the end. |

She was basically a child in a woman's body, yeesh... Really? I feel like katsuragi's feeling is very genuine especially his lines while his taking picture |
Mayakashi-Sagan said: Does the manga continue from this ending? Or is the anime different from the manga? I was considering reading it The manga is pretty much identical to the anime, so you really won’t get any more out of reading it than you did from the show. The main purpose for even turning this into an anime at this point (the series concluded 10 years ago) is because a sequel called “Fish” is planned to start serialization in the winter. Your best bet would probably be to start reading from there once it starts because a second season really doesn’t seem likely, and if it does happen, it will be quite a few years out. But given the situation of the animation studio and the fact that this was picked up more as an advert for the upcoming manga, I highly doubt there will be a second season. |
| Basically the real plot started after Hayashi x Tsukasa. Man i HYPED when i saw Long with a hole in the middle of forehead! YES! Sadly the old man was not killed too, so that mafia is still working. At least i think they cant use this power anymore, since Long and Katsuragi was killed, and Jin become disabled. Feel bad for meimei, but it is subject of the possible continuation of the Manga. Tsukasa had the right end, and Satoru and Hiroki, the orphan pets, finally got free. It should be 8/10, but the flaws in the art was anoying, so 7/10 is fair. |
