| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- that was one evil cat, and also anyone else think that miyu works pretty slow? didn't her little monster friend see them a night ago? it took her an entire day to get there? what the hell! and shes smiling about more people dying |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| that was kind of weird how Miyu is smiling about having more dead people... didn't expect that. |
     |
| I didn't expect that either & I didn't like it. I thought Miyu cared about what happened to innocent people =( Makes u wonder, maybe she didn't wanna stop the shinma from killing those people, maybe she wanted to see the shinma in the act? |
| WHAT!!! that cat was MESSED UP!!! i cant believe he made her kill her own husband!!! and all he was trying 2 do was save her from the shinma!!! poor him and her and the family b4 them... at least the parents of the 1st family didnt keep the cat... i was really scared that something bad was gonna happen like every min in the epi!!! like they live in a building u could jump out from... so when they were in their bedroom or near a window... i was so scared!!! great epi though!!! |
 |
| Pretty crazy episode, quite sad to see a good relation like that get totally fucked by this weird cat... |
 |
| I do also agree that it felt like Miyu actually let the couple get killed. So weird that she suddenly turned so unsympathetic. |
| Moral of story: Don't trust cats! |
 |
| An ambitious attempt at a dramatized social commentary; the alienated modern married couple (who "don't interfere with each other"; i.e. not taking the idea of marriage seriously) who are out of touch with their traditions (using a salt shaker for ritual purification, not liking sake) and satisfied on the surface level by their work, but it keeps them from starting a family. The wife wants a child but substitutes a pet, absurdly taking the animal too seriously. The husband reacts with panicking jealousy and the couple fall apart in selfishness right away. The wife becomes more obsessed with her cat and the husband looks for shallow companionship with another woman because it's easier. The couple's self-centered resentment and refusal to face their problems leads to hatred and destruction where there should be love and creation. It's awfully sluggish for the first third or half, a problem more than one episode of this series has had, which is regrettable since the second half is a little rushed in comparison. The social commentary is frankly a bit pat and hand-wringing, as well. I do like the idea of leaving Miyu almost totally out of the story for an episode just as a change of pace...or rather the series just putting out a stand-alone short film rather than an episode of the serial story. That the cat is a supernatural monster really has nothing to do with the story. |
| I think Miyu care more about stopping Shinma than about humans. Sure, she tries to avoid killing them herself but she never tried to help the people who got stuck by a curse (people stuck in the film, the petrified women, ect) , she let the bored guy fall to his death trying to follow her and she drank the blood of several of the survivors (even if it was for mercy.) At least this anime is balanced, we have had one evil cat and one evil dog so far ! |
 |
| powerful commentary on the exploitative power of the female biological clock and male tendance toward jealousy |
| In a way, that cat was right. Their relationship is doomed if they let him destroy it. The obvious layer is that the woman wanted kids, but the husband didn't. He just wanted them to stay out of each other's way. He didn't realize that she was lonely. She was lonely by herself. So she clung to her pet, in this case a cat, and treated it like she would an actual baby. The husband gets annoyed and tries to look for a connection to another woman. "I don't want to be at home right now". Though it also shows the jealousy of husbands who have actual babies. Their wife suddenly prioritizes their baby, and the husband gets jealous that he's not getting as much attention. So he lashes out and has affairs with other women. Also worth noting that a few weeks after giving birth (a few months?), the woman isn't able to have sex. So lack of physical intimacy after having a baby, because they actually can't, could lead to the husband cheating. It also has a commentary on home wreckers. In her eyes, the wife has the perfect husband. He's a working man, he's handsome, and he seems nice enough. She thinks that the wife is stupid for not appreciating him. |
