----------------------------------------
I love how Nonomi totes her box around everywhere; it's just so adorable, especiall since it looks so generic and run-down. People shouldn't doubt her just because she's like a child though.

Re-watching: I think I'm starting to get why I enjoyed this show so much back when I first watched it. This episode did a great job introducing the theme of death, in a way that focuses on the character's emotions, and not in an obvious attempt to make the audience sad. This goes hand in hand with the subtle ways they incorporate a tense and somber feeling in the fictional world: namely the radio broadcasts that list the number of dead and missing which plays over the scenes of normal daily and school life. Setoguchi's all of a sudden really serious remark, hit home, and I think the joke that came after fit really well into the scene.

What I'm saying is the writing in this show is pretty damn good.

In this episode they tried to give weight to the death of characters, but it fails miserably since this anime didn't have a good introduction of characters so we don't care about any in particular other than Nonomi. I think if there was an introductory and/or impactful first episode probably this one would have gotten more feelings out of people. But for now I'm just watching for watching the show still hasn't managed to captivate my full attention.

PT-BR
Nesse episódio eles tentaram dar um peso na morte de personagens, mas falha miseravelmente visto que esse anime não teve uma boa introdução de personagens logo não nos importamos com nenhum em especial tirando a Nonomi.Acho que se tivesse um primeiro episódio introdutório e/ou impactante provavelmente nesse teria arrancado mais sentimentos das pessoas. Mas por enquanto estou só assistindo por assistir o show ainda não conseguiu cativar minha atenção plena.
