This may sounds bizzare, but I have come to a conclusion that this story could fit into the horror category if not for the comedy and romance.



What do you think?

Let the romance be, add some horror soundtrack and boom the witch mistook the Saitō couple for snow white hanging the poisoned golden apple in their orchard. Death is the prince which kissed both of them at last and the story ended.

And the watchers pissed their pants

@fabiandewa19 Yes.
Who knows that previously, they may have 2-3 years of remaining lifespan, but now they only have 6 months left?

I wouldn't place it as a horror story. Most likely place it as Slice of Life. The apple grants youth for a year and you die. It gives one last chance to do the things you wanted to do without the burdens of age.

This would be horror in negative thinking person. Glad that people in the anime have positive attitude. Without the apple, the grandma won't be able to go to the honeymoon trip. Remember that she's very sickly.

@LeonLanford Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to despise this. What I want to tell is I can make a horror story with similiar premise with this. Of course, this one is not a horror one.

That's why I say "without the comedy or romance". I sense this when seeing the final minutues of the last episode.

Atleast for the Saito couple, it was a blessing.

Mrs. Saito got rid of her cancer and poor health in general, and got the chance to travel and enjoy her final months with Mr. Saito.

Also, I don't think the sand escaping the hourglass was reducing their lifespan unnaturally. I thought of it as representation of their normal aging.

I think know when you will die seeing it ahead of time it would cause panic at first but knowing when it is coming only is an advantage because you know how to best use your time on what matters more to you and it wont sneak up on you when you least expect it.

I dont think any of their lifespan was sacrificed to turn them younger. It seems clear it makes their bodies younger but doesnt subtract or add to their lifespan, only a kami can alter the lifespan.

As I understand it, all the humour is based on the young guys talking like old people, but for non-Japanese these linguistic jokes aren't clear enough to laugh along with, and for those watching in voice-over I don't know why they should watch it at all (maybe just for slice of life - maybe for Frieren witnesses it will be good).
