| I completely missed your point. It would be far quicker to watch the anime again than read your narration.
I'll agree that the beginning and end of the anime are worlds apart. It starts out very cute and innocently and winds up very twisted. I also have to admit the only reason I watched it was because someone recommended it to me with a label saying "very disturbing".
However I think it was brilliant. The first 10 episodes or so are a sequence of dull character development stages but teh end was very worth it. I especially liked the scene where ...(what's his name?) the maid guy dies. That was just perfect, the way Sekai used her phone and the whistling of the kettle building up tension. That scene really moved me. Also the scene where Katsura proves Sekai's pregnancy with a little DIY surgery, I couldn't believe that happened.
Anyway I think the point of the seris wasn't that the characters were outright "evil". It was that (the main guy [sorry I have trouble with guy's names]) got addicted to sex and was too weak to stand up and say "Katsura, it's over. I'm with Sekai now" or vice versa. Katsura descended into insanity with all the bullying at school and how everyone told her that (what's his name) wasn't her boyfriend, but he was!...right? And then Sekai's jealousy spiralled out of control since (what's his name) wouldn't stand up and say "Katsura, it's over..." Then Sekai finally snapped when she was pregnant (or pretending to be pregnant?) and (what's his name) turned her away.
It was the vicious situation that they were all in, and the loss of sanity in Katsura's case, that caused such an atrocious end. |
