Last few episodes are anime original. It progresses the idol idea with Yoshio taking her to a small idol contest in the city. Machi has a panic attack on stage and runs off. She finds her courage, Yoshio spews some crap about her bneeding to be a sacrifice for the village like the first miko, and her dance impresses everyone and is good enough to merit a special award.

Instead of hearing the crowd cheering, she hallucinates that they're all booing and throwing rocks at her. When they get her back home she starts crying and saying she never wants to go to the city again and gives up on her dreams of going to school there with Natsu reinforcing this and she meantally breaks as Natsu tells her she doesn't need to do anything difficult again. Post ED scene is Machi reverted into a child-like mental state as she plays with Natsu. Happy and upbeat music is playing during all of this.

In other words everything idolshit related was anime original?

Scriptwriter of the episode deleted his Twitter and Facebook account. Also tried to remove the show from his Wikipedia page.

The author of the manga said in a blog post (that he later deleted) that he didn't check the scripts because he wanted to leave it to the professionals. He also said he didn't like Yoshio's original lines from the anime.

Nico's rating went from 90% to 60% and the last episode, to be streamed next Sunday, will go even lower.

The BD box didn't get any post-finale/pre-release boost, chances are that some people cancelled their reservations.

It was great. It's just that this time the fanbase was composed of tumblrites who couldn't handle the fact that Machi loses to social anxiety at a minor decision in her life and returning to a child-like state that she's supposed to have since she is still technically a child.

>>143138385
>Scriptwriter of the episode deleted his Twitter and Facebook account. Also tried to remove the show from his Wikipedia page.
This is such a silly overreaction. I mean, sure, he fucked up, but you don't try to delete your online presence over it.
He should have tried to make some sort of apology instead, possibly promising a fix if it's within his power.

This is the Most interesting series and ending recently by the sounds of it.

Maybe the rest of the staff threw him under the bus. By deleting his accounts, it makes it seem like he was the only one responsible for the changes.

It also gives the impression that it was just moefag otakus being unreasonable, sending death threats and shit.

It's the most manipulative and dirtiest PR tactic, but people keep falling for it, like this friend here >>143138517 , so they'll keep using it.

So how badly did they fuck up the ending?

>>143139043
Well you need to watch it fast. The novelty of discussion will probably last for a week or at least until the numbers for Kuma Miko's first BD volume shows up.

>>143138451
This has nothing to do with tumblr and you're just being pointlessly contrarian. People are upset because Machi is the character you're supposed to empathize with the most and, not only did we see her fail and give up on her goal, none of the other characters are bothered by this (in fact, Natsu is delighted) and the show itself presents it as an ending we're supposed to feel good about.

That's actually pretty funny. I take it you're one of the retards who have been crying non-stop that the show didn't fulfill your "comfy" expectations? It's in line with the manga, the humor is supposed to be slightly mean-spirited, it's about Machi, her life, and how she can't deal with a lot of things, but it's all in gag form, she still gets on fine with her daily life. Maybe, maybe you could legitimately say that the anime didn't adapt that very well. But why worry about all that. Keep on being triggered by the ending.

>>143139307
>maybe you could legitimately say that the anime didn't adapt that very well

Exactly.

>>143139082
She has a nightmare in the manga where she goes to the city and people throw rocks at her. In the anime, Yoshio and Natsu manipulate her into participating in an idol contest in the city and her anxieties take over, making the nightmare a reality in this adaptation. Natsu goes to pray to the mountain god so she does good in the contest, but starts crying saying that what he really wants is for Machi to always be dependent on him so she can never leave the shrine.

During the contest, she starts having vivid hallucinations of people insulting her and throwing rocks at her. When she comes back she's traumatized from the experience and Natsu tells her it's OK, that she no longer needs to worry or think about anything anymore. The last we see of her is she acting like a 5 year old while happy music plays in the background. The mountain god granted Natsu's wish and she'll stay with him until he dies.

There's no issue with the episode at all per se. It's just the fact that they ended on it. If they had another episode or two where they would have shown her again engaging in her shenanigans, struggling with whatever, like it does in the manga, it would have been fine. But people seem to think that this somehow means that she's been "mind broken" for life or something. It's just an extended gag, the music should have been a dead give away.

So while I can say that I don't really think it was the best way to end the series, I don't think the episode itself was poorly done. And no, I can't understand all these people crying like she got burned at the stake or something.

>>143139582
Oh yeah, Rail Wars' author had issues with the adaptation as well iirc.

The anime was garbage but a lot of fun to watch with /a/.

>>143139582
Those were bad from the get-go. Kuma Miko had raving reception at the first half then it nose-dived into oblivion and the finale was the nail in the coffin.

I'd love to say maybe A/Z but that became mediocre really early on.

Studio was paid long time ago. Production committe is who gets revenues from sales and they are defintely angry.

Just wait till fall anon. After all the productions studios see how much nips want comfy anime they will all cash in. It is too late for them to do it for the summer season but I bet fall will be awash in comfy sol.

>>143139676
The manga publisher too as adaptations are supposed to boost volume sales.

And lets not forget that this series was supposed to promote the Sendai region as well.

Why didn't they just adapt manga chapters as is? Did they really think the original story arc thing was necessary?

I assume they were trying to get in on the idol anime craze.

>>143136930
Well, she can't. If it wasn't obvious enough, Natsu had been unknowingly sabotaging her attempts at becoming a city girl. He, of all bears, should have known to not shoved her out to the city for a task without any sort of preparation. He wanted her to fail, but he was lying to himself about that fact.

Seriously, Yoshio had her best interest at heart and has the excuse of not really knowing her crippling social anxiety since he's dense as fuck, Natsu does not. In short, bear wants loli and willing to do whatever it takes to keep her, even if it means locking her up in a proverbial bird cage.

>>143139825
Why do people keep thinking its comfy fags complaining? Most of them left a while back. No one has been saying its bad because it wasn't comfy. We're saying its bad because they created an original ending that took things too far and it stopped being funny.

And I say this as someone who read the manga and expected the lewd and bullying coming into the series and was laughing at comfy fags back at the beginning.

>>143139783
An age-old question.

>>143139840
As I said in the other thread, this could be better for the manga than a normal ending. Reading the manga is the best way to forget this unfunny mess and go back to the dumb hick Machi who tries hard but fails, but in a way that's actually funny.

>>143140035
It's bad because it isn't comfy.

To be fair, the anime really loved to drag out Machi's paranoia at some points. At those points, I found the show the have the same problems Watamote had except even worse because it didn't have wacky pseudo-SHAFT visuals.

>>143140110
Did Watamote have Shaft visuals?

Machi is out there right now is some hick village SUFFERING from her anxiety and it will never get better.

Except from ANN.
Now look at the backlash, it's like ANN was right.
Does /a/ finally agree with ANN?

>>143140035
The ending wasn't so much an original as it was a different approach. Both basically had Machi back at the village in her ignorant ways. Manga might have kept it as a joke, it had also invalidate all the hard work she did in her dream to Sendai. Anime just played it straight, by both rewarding her effort with a trophy but amped up her social anxiety. It might seem cruel in the anime but remember, manga Machi didn't even try and her crippling social anxiety is still there.

When does the next SoL start airing? I need to forget this shit.

>>143140179
Who cares what ANN says?

>>143140179
ANN shit on it because it looked like it would be comfy anime whereas we shit on it because it turned out to not be comfy anime so we do not agree with ANN.

>>143140035
There are fags like this one >>143139688 using that word, whether it is false flagging or just plain retardation. Everyone watching till the end knew that the show was a comedy about miko bullying and lewds.

>>143140204
NEW GAME! is 12 days away, we will be saved then anon.

>>143140239
It needed more LEWD and less bully.

The first signs this was going to be a crap adaptation were back when they swapped the parts hibiki first appears in.

In the manga, Machi has her freakout with Yoshio at the mall first. Seeing how self-concious she is of her clothes, he asks Hibiki to take her clothes shopping.

The anime reversed this and removes this characterizing moment for Yoshio, instead just sending her randomly shopping.

Anyone that defends the ending by saying that it's stupid to assume that you can overcome social anxiety through sheer willpower, or that it's okay to not only completely give up but regress to a worse state than your initial one, is a fucking retard.

There are good endings where the protagonist realizes that his goals are futile and ends up starting right back at square one. This isn't one of them.

>>143140249
The threads will be fucking terrible.

>>143140179
Any argument that supports itself with ANN's opinion is inherently invalid.

>>143140110

Which is funny because I think even that show at least had Tomoko become self-aware of her dysfunctional personality as some sort of anime original 'happy' end.

>>143140336
She's always been self-aware though.

>>143140297
explain yourself

I can kind of understand the hatred toward the writers though, you could see the whole ending as a massive troll. Or worse still, that they just don't give a shit.

>>143140409
>manga only known because of a shitty meme
>video games

It'll attract the same memesters from the NNB threads and such.

Did people not just want a black comedy downer-gag ending?

I mean I can understand the sentiment.

I wish Machi was real so she could read these threads and see how much we hate her anime, her suffering would be divine.

>>143140179
ANN hated it because of the machi lewding though, completely different

>>143140437
>memesters from the NNB threads
So my peeps! This is great news indeed.

>>143140445
Considering Kumamiko isn't a black comedy, I don't see why anyone would want that.

>>143140292
It's a bad ending, but nevertheless, it is an effective one. Had it been the generic 'it was a dream' or 'she finally overcame her anxiety' ending, people would have forgotten all about this anime within a season. Now, we get people talking about this for a while and get them to realize just how crippling social anxiety really is. It is not something that can overcome with willpower nor can it be cure in one shot. It takes years of dedication, a lot of support from friends and family, and acknowledgment that this is a real issue that needs to be tackled. It might have ruined the whole comedy aspect, but it damn well made you mad enough to acknowledge this problem and not forget it when you switch over to next anime.

>>143140527
It's effective only because it was awfully done, not because it hits you.

>>143140527
They could have made her anxiety lessened, not cured or something along those lines. Basically the whole premise that the show was leading up to was a complete waste of time.

>>143140527
>Had it been the generic 'it was a dream' or 'she finally overcame her anxiety' ending

That would only be true if it was well portrayed or even their intent. People aren't going to remember it for how serious social anxiety is, they're going to remember it for how terrible the ending itself was and the writer trying to do damage control.

THIS IS NOT FUCKING OKAY

Which would have lessen the impact. Social anxiety isn't something to be laughed at. I mean, who here actually takes Tomoko's social anxiety seriously anymore? Everyone now treats Watamote as a yuri-harem romcom. The real and very depressing issue of her society anxiety isn't even an issue anymore.

>>143140527

Are you listening to yourself right now? Open people's eyes to social anxiety? Jesus fucking Christ those two 1500~ posts Futaba threads didn't even remotely mention how they were suddenly giving a fuck about a disorder like that. They were just lewding Machi, making jokes about the shit ending, and shitting at how badly done the anime original bad end was.

Get over yourself.

>>143140658
I know right? He should have scolded her so that her anxiety would flair up and then the end could have been her curled up in a ball crying!

>>143140680
But you were supposed to laugh at Machi, they simply fucked up.

>>143140680
>Social anxiety isn't something to be laughed at.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>143140680
>this is a SERIOUS anime with a SERIOUS message

>>143140680
Wow you just triggered like half of the posters in this thread, well done.

>>143140684
Right, which is what I had said. Bad ending, but an effective one. No one would have still been talking about it had it went with the manga ending &/or solved her anxiety problem ending.

>>143140680
I hope you realize that the ending was actually supposed to be funny. In fact, both Machi's and Tomoko's conditions are always played off for laughs.

You're taking this shit too seriously. They just botched up the fucking ending that's all there is to it.

>>143140680
The focus of the anime or even the purpose of those scenes was not to show how serious social anxiety is. Machi freaking out was supposed to be part of the humor and they failed at it. You are reading way too deeply into this.

>>143140769
No, you said it would make people aware of social anxiety.

It didn't.

>>143140727
It made full use of its medium to deliver a message. I hate it because it's no longer a comedy but I do have to give it respect to get people talking about an actual real life problem.

>>143140680
>The real and very depressing issue of her society anxiety isn't even an issue anymore.
Was it ever? Pretty sure the appeal was "hey look, it's /a/ as a girl."

>>143140804
Except they tried to play off the anime original episodes as comedy.

>>143140680
No one needs to treat Watamote seriously because it didn't teach anyone anything. The whole reason it became popular was because anons saw part of themselves in Tomoko, so they already knew what it was like.

Just like half of the reactions to the episode when Machi had to work at the supermarket were of people relating to the experience.

>>143140778
It honestly stopped being funny back during Machi's visit to the mall. I don't think I laughed during those social anxiety panic attack moments. It was incredibly depressing.

Holy shit what is even going on in this anymore?

>>143140804
It never stopped being a comedy though. It just became a really poorly done one.

>>143140861
Some retard trying to play off the writer of the last episode as the next Stanley Kubrick.

>>143140803
People are still talking about it after the anime has ended. And let's be honest here, can you actually forget this ending a few months from now?

>>143140861
An anon is either leading everyone on with easy bait or is actually fucked in the head. I can't figure out which at this point.

>>143140889
Yes, I probably could. But even if I couldn't, being remembered for being bad is hardly a positive thing unless it's one of those "so funny it's bad" shows. This is not one of them.

>>143140889
So it's supposed to be a good thing? Like those pop stars that did all kinds of fucked up shit just to get their face on the paper?

>>143140886
Not even saying it was deep. I'm saying they just played her social anxiety straight instead of laughing it off like in the manga.

>you like the ending because bullying mind break fetish is satisfied
Doujins when

>>143140889
>People are still talking about it after the anime has ended
Yes but people aren't talking about social anxiety or whatever the fuck you're on about.

They're just talking about how shit the ending is.

If they wanted to deliver an important message about mental health they would come out and say it, not act like they fucked up and have the scriptwriter delete his accounts. Their actions are proof that that wasn't their intention at all and they simply botched the tone of the episode. If only they had been smarter about it they could have used your excuse and taken the high road, but they failed to do that too.

>>143140889
It hasn't even been a week since it ended and the new season hasn't started yet. Of course people are still discussing it. In a week nobody will give a rats ass about it.

>>143140940
Well, yeah. Good or bad, getting people to remember something is incredibly hard. Think back on how many anime you have watched and how many of them you actually remembered?

>>143140941
Don't even waste your time anon, they don't want to understand what you are saying. They see shit in black or white and are unable to see when something is a bit of both.

The show was shit the last episode at least stuck to its guns and should be respected for that.

Holy shit Yoshio is a retard. How hard is it to get that Machi doesn't want that idol shit. I even liked him at first but he overdid it with this shitty village publicity stuff.

This would be the perfect setting for a girl management h-game honestly.

Machi would have different stats and depending on those stats and certain decisions you make throughout the game, there'd be a fuckton of possible endings to get which obviously are mostly bad ends.

>>143140889
People are talking about the ending, they are not talking about social anxiety. Nobody gives a shit about that. You can fuck off to tumblr if you want to blabber on about how "important" the Kumamiko ending is and how it bravely tackles real-life social issues or whatever.

>>143141005
I remember each and single one.

>>143140849
It's not our problem if you can't laugh at yourself once in a while.

>>143141005
People like you is why the industry is total shit.
Off yourself.

>>143140955
Right, which is my point. There's really no way you can't tall about how shit the ending is without talking about how they dealt with her social anxiety. It has a bad ending, but it was effective. They got you to remember it. Everytime you think of loli miko, you wil remember how they ruined the ending by her being unable to overcome her problem.

I don't want her to get over her anxiety, that's too much but leaving no hope and leaving her as an empty shell is what's so disgusting.

They just went along with her delusions.

>>143140628
Nobody is going to talk about it except you. Most people will either laugh or say it was shitty and unfunny.

What went wrong?

>>143141105
What makes you think she has no hope? The day after a traumatic event she does not want to go to the city anymore ... she could change her mind in a week for all we know.

>>143141094
No, your point was how this shitty ending somehow will spread the knowledge of social anxiety. But it failed at that too.

http://may.2chan.net/b/res/415593346.htm

Still going strong.

>>143141159
Natsu will do his best to not let her get better.

>>143141105
Like I posted above, that's just an issue with the fact that this was the last episode. It's supposed to be just be a large gag, hence the music, etc. If they had one more episode after this showing her doing her usual stuff, struggling with her usual things, nobody would have said anything. But for some reason people can't get that, and seem to think she's just broken for life.

I'm pretty sure only contrarian shitters were strawmanning with that argument. The story would end if Machi became a normal girl, it's like wanting Yotsuba to grow up. Most people just expected things to stay the same, as expected from a gag manga.

>>143141172
But it's happening already. After all, you can't tell me how shit the ending is without telling why it's shit. Because they failed to make her social anxiety into a joke like the manga did. Face it, whether you like it or not, you are now forced to remember Machi as a failed child with severe mental issues.

>>143141275
"Ending was bad"

Both in that it was a "bad end" and that it sucked.

You got it the wrong way around.

>>143141361
But it is. Watch, when the next thread pops up, it will be filled with nothing but shitposting about the ending. Someone will ask why is it so bad, and someone will inevitably talk about her mental issue. It's going to happen, whether you want it to or not.

It's fucking long but basically:
What this guy said >>143141334
They're talking about all the shit that happened with the mangaka posting on his blog as well as the scripwriter deleting his accounts.
Then there's this big discussion over shit adaptations, other shows which had just as big negative backlash, and they even mentioned us.

And no before you even start autist-kun, there's only a handful of posts in that 3000~ post thread which talk about 'social anxiety' and even then nobody gives a fuck too much about it. They're all talking about the implications of staff fucking with the source material.

>>143141432
>Now, we get people talking about this for a while and get them to realize just how crippling social anxiety really is. It is not something that can overcome with willpower nor can it be cure in one shot. It takes years of dedication, a lot of support from friends and family, and acknowledgment that this is a real issue that needs to be tackled. It might have ruined the whole comedy aspect, but it damn well made you mad enough to acknowledge this problem and not forget it when you switch over to next anime.

It's not happening.

>expected things to stay the same

Again, why are people acting like none of what you said happened? The whole fucking end of the episode was a gag, she's exactly like she was to begin with. I guarantee if there was another episode, she would wake up perfectly fine, and have some other issues to deal with at the village. And then in a week or two, she would decide to try to go to the city again. Her "breaking" is supposed to be a fucking joke, why is that so hard to see.

I wish I knew what they were thinking with the ending, what was their logic behind it.

>>143141468

Are there any posts of people planning to drop their preorders?

>>143140204
There are still a few SoL airing I think.

>>143141468
So its actually exactly the same as us, just on a larger scale.

>>143141468
Actually, Japan talked a lot about Machi getting into Kamille at the end of Zeta.

>>143141193
But it was the last episode, maybe it's you who doesn't understand that once a story ends there's an expectation of continuity within that world. No one watches a story where the hero saves the day and thinks "well, after that he probably fell down the stairs and became a tetraplegic", because it is assumed that the story ends when all the important events relating to it have taken place. You would think that someone who writes scripts professionally knows this, and would end the series in a way that shows that things remain the same. Maybe the scene with Machi and Natsu playing was intended to show that, but if that's the case he obviously failed.

>>143141517
It's a joke, but they forgot to write the punchline.

>>143141492
Oh yes it will. Do you want to know why? Because it's the perfect bait. Someone out there can't resist since it's a sure fire way to get replies. I mean, look at how many posts i got from my initial post and I was actually being serious here. Somewhere out there is a troll that wants to watch the world burn and he wouldn't hesitate to start this shitfest by bringing up her social anxiety. It's going to happen, not because people want to talk about it, but because it gets people mad.

In any case, good job ruining any potential for actual discussions about social anxiety with your autistic shitposting.

>>143141680
You're just proving my point here. People are talking about the ending, it will be remembered. Whether they want to or not, the social anxiety issue, no matter how trivial it is, will be remembered alongside the shit ending. Because you can't talk about how shit it is without remembering about it in the first place. It will be brought up eventually.

>>143141583
It never gets old seeing how similar /a/ and 2chan really can be even though we shit on otakus all the time.

This was your point. And no one is talking about the social anxiety itself.

See >>143141468

>>143141595
>>143141602

I'm not saying the handled it in the best way. They ought to have done this an episode before, or wrapped it up in a cleaner punchline, for lack of a better word. If someone had any knowledge of the manga, they would know that that's how it is, it's all played as gags around her inability to cope.

But putting that aside, there's saying the joke didn't resolve well, and the hordes of people acting like this is some sort of super psychological horror story, and that Machi is now and forever some broken shell surrounded by psychopaths. They genuinely believe that. How the fuck do you make that leap? And I'm not just talking on /a/. Go to some shithole like mal or ann or something, and you have some people actually frothing at the mouth, actually talking about child abuse, mental illness, all sorts of stupid shit for a fucking adaptation of a gag manga.

I don't get it for a second, and I don't think the studio anticipated this big a mis-read of the ending either.

>>143141784
No nigger. The main resounding thing people will remember here is that the staff fucked up.

The most important point people are learning here isn't the effects of social anxiety but the effects of having staff/writers/directors fucking around with source material.

>>143141657
I don't know shit about Gundam and had to look up what the fuck did カミーユ mean, because I kept seeing it mentioned (a Kamille ending, ending like Kamille, etc.). It wasn't just one or two people saying it.

>>143141896
Except as that anon had brought up about the 3k posts, there were some talk about it. I did say it will be brought up, and whether they want to talk about it or not, it being a core reason why the ending sucked means that people will remember that part as well.

>>143142052
Backpedaling hard.

>>143142008
In the end of Zeta Gundam the villain does a last minute psychic attack against the MC (Kamille) before he dies, fucking Kamille up mentally and regressing him to a child like mental state. (In the novel version after he panics about wanting to get let out and takes the helmet off he opens the cockpit door. In the vacuum of space.

>>143141985
And what got fucked from the source material? No matter what happens, someone will have to mention that the trip wasn't a dream, which would get people to ask, 'why is it not being a dream such a big difference?' There's really no way to avoid it. Machi's anxiety attacks stopped being treated like a joke will be brought up if someone keeps asking questions. It stopped being funny is part of the reason why the ending is shit.

>>143141860
Red Data Girl, guess I need to put something easier there.

Dunno, I didn't interpret the ending as negative as most others. Yoshio is an idiot, but I knew this before. The rest felt more like Machi was just stopping to force herself doing shit she doesn't want - at least for a while - and enjoying her childhood/teenage years instead. This whole idol shit she wasn't actually interested in depressed me more to be honest.

>>143142128
Backpedaling what? I said the ending is shit, but effective in that people will remember it because they played Machi's anxiety straight. It will be talked about in some form due to how controversial/bad the ending was. No matter what, her social anxiety issue will be talked about, no matter how trivial it is.

>>143142277

Autism, sociopathy, delusions, youth delinquency, alcoholics, sexual harassment, child abuse, bestiality...

>>143142412

>>143142360
Well, the whole Sendai trip was just a dream. So that whole ending sequence of her laughing had absolutely nothing to do with her admitting she doesn't want to be a city girl anymore. It's two completely unrelated scenes.

You know you've fucked up bad when even the author of the source material has to say that.

For people who are asking about the dream thing, in the manga Machi has a brief dream (Just a few panels) where she visits Sendai and the people throw rocks at her before she wakes up. It was a one off thing and she continues to want to go to school in the city.

In the anime, they make her actually go to Sendai for an idol contest, and she hallucinates people are throwing rocks at her (Which she thinks really happened) which causes her to break and give up on her dreams, which is where the anime ends.

No idea what he's trying to get at by saying they're the same when they clearly weren't in their execution or outcome other than "Being Stoned in Sendai".

10 years from now this ending will be regarded as a masterpiece just like Evangelion's TV ending is.

>Post ED scene is Machi reverted into a child-like mental state as she plays with Natsu. Happy and upbeat music is playing during all of this.
Except for how that's the way she has always behaved. People want to see something dark in here though so no matter how much they're told that they're wrong, they'll continue seeing what they want to see.
This is worse than the puppet theories in Yuyushiki or the it was all a dream in Nichibros, holy shit.

All this denial.

>Asian Social drama about a girl with social Anxiety who lives with a bear in the country-side.
It was Bear-tastic.

>>143146167
Not him, but you mean the denial from people who can't tell/refuse to accept that the whole ending scene was just a gag on her being "broken" from her experience? She'd probably ask to go back to the city in a week, only to have some shit happen again. Because that's what happens in a gag series. But no, it surely must be some deep, dark psychological case-study.

It was a mess.

>>143139147
>in fact, Natsu is delighted
I think you missed the part where Natsu is so afraid of losing Machi that he prays to the mountain gods to make her give up on that idea.
Well, she gave up and they're living happily now, the same way as they have always done.

So, are there any good doujins?

>where the protagonist realizes that his goals are futile and ends up starting right back at square one. This isn't one of them.
But that's exactly what happened. Machi continued having panic attacks even after managing to do what she set out to, realized that being stubborn with her goals was futile, and decided to continue living with Natsu. I can see the manga ending in a similar way.

I know, right? Seeing Machi not understand things she's unfamiliar with is depressing.

This is just creepy. Playing the upbeat ED just make it feel even worse.

>>143146722
She wasn't this retarded normally, why do people deny it?

>>143147130
She knows what the internet and tablets are though. She's just terrified of using them herself.

Here she thinks the internet is the name of a delivery man and a tablet is a food.

Yeah, how dare they adapt two pages from the manga as a way to show that Machi and Natsu are back to their usual lives.

I mean, fuck them.
>>143147414
So the answer is yes it seems.

>>143147428
The dialogue is completely different, retard. Learn nip.

>>143147442
The nips hate it, so it must be bad.

>>143147414
Maybe, perhaps once you retards stop acting like this is some sort of Shakespearean tragedy.

>>143147354
Because this is how the anime ended. No follow up scene. No continuation. Just crying broken machi followed by her acting like a five year old. They obviously intended it as a gag but they fucked up and it comes off as disturbing instead. And that's how they chose to end the anime. With a retarded and broken Machi.

>>143147428
She doesn't say a tablet is a fucking candy here, though.
It's alright to her to not know what Amazon is because she didn't use it previously in the series.

>>143147442
It wasn't funny and dragged on.

>>143147478
>Bought cake from Amazon
>Cake what? Cake Amazon what?
>It's an internet shopping site Machi

>Yeah Brazil! Japan!
>You don't need to worry, Machi!

People are still trying to use these images to shitpost?

>>143147616
Why is Natsu ordering a cake from Brazil?

>>143147627
Well, the Internet Saitou gag is still there.
That was the only funny joke this episode so it being taken straight out of the manga doesn't give the writer any credit.

>>143147627
>disagreeing with the opinion of the majority is shitposting
Great, you're learning! You even ignored the entirety of what was posted to the side of the image.
Yes, the circumstances are different (nightmare vs. reality), but the point is that those pages were adapted as a way to show their usual lives after the whole situation.
>>143147689
Machi how did you get in here

>>143140179
ANN hated it because they pander to normalfags and whatever Funimation tells them they have to hype.

>>143147442
It was explained most accurately several times in the first thread, and it can't be helped any more than seeing it for yourself - that is, whether it's the elaboration, or looking at the original events from the manga itself.

To iterate again, the main point of the problem is that the context of the ending is broken. It uses the same points A and Z, but everything through the middle is completely altered.

They should've gone all-in on the mindbreak and had it actually be a dark ending instead of a "this was a poorly handled joke" ending.
