![]() ![]() It felt so real that Kakeru kept having setbacks, that his friends had to strive so fervently for Kakeru to be able to realize small improvements. This series will stick with me because of how grounded and sensible Kakeru's struggle with his mental health felt. +Sadness, ruminating regret, and familial depression are fortunately handled in a much more sensitive and measured manner than the time travel mechanism, which is obviously much better than if vice versa were the case. It seemed like she was also in a bad mental place. ![]() The series could have also fleshed out Ueda a little bit more. Kakeru and Naho could have used a few more character quirks. (Also, see Netflix's Dark for another example of poorly handled time travel exposition that distracts and weighs down the story with nonsense.) They can just be confused and accept that miracles are happening. If you are working on a time travel story in which the science of the time travel is not directly related to the plot, please, your characters don't need to actually cite physics technobabble. Guessing correctly that there was a black hole in the Bermuda triangle was so hokey that it momentarily jarred me out of a really moving part of the story. ![]()
