This is reki, be nice to her. Even if she's a colossal fuckup

>>156062327

She got her shit together. At the last possible moment, but still.

She's the best kuudere.

>>156062327
Comfiest series ever. Watched it over a rainy weekend. Almost died of comfyness.

>>156064406

K-on is more comfy.

>>156062327
What was the original reason for her to be so adamant about refusing any real help and seeking salvation on her own, to no avail?

>>156064898
Impostor syndrome or a variation thereof

>>156064898

She thought she was already doomed and that nothing could save her. She was resigned to her fate.

>>156062327
I wouldn't say she's a total fuckup, she did well in guiding Rakka and taking care of children, even if part of her motivation was selfish.

>>156064898
Some people are just very guarded about letting other people see their emotions, there's that fear of being hurt/misunderstood/abandoned which Reki obviously had. There's also that self-victimization and fatalist mindset in play.

It's interesting to see how all of Reki's issues feed into one another, and how you can't squarely blame everything on her past. It's clear that getting abandoned by her mentor fucked her up, and using that boy as rebound gave her a lot of guilt, but it doesn't totally explain away her intense self-hatred. That fact she still felt that way even after getting forgiveness from those factory Haibane shows how deep her issues run.

>>156066659
total != colossal

>>156064406
Yeah, the first part is. Then the 2nd one kicks in and you violently start questioning your own life's worth.

>>156069551
but then there's a happy (well more bittersweet) ending.
I'd probably have offed myself if they weren't

>>156064739
And less shit

>>156070889
If they ended at Reki telling Rakka that she's forced herself to be nice to any new Haibane and Rakka being the one absolutely didn't matter at all, the show would be suicidal af

i feel like it would have been a little better if they had explained whats behind the fucking wall.

>>156071205
a second chance

>>156071205
I think that'd have ruined the show a little. It's not meant to be interpreted that literally.

>>156071247
i was thinking that too but everything gets explained expect that and those old guys with the masks i believe

>>156071656
Most things gets the beginning of an axplanation, not actual closure.

>>156071205
If you accept the whole purgatory theory of the show, where the world outside the walls represents the great unknowable mystery of what comes after death, then it becomes clear why they could never show it.

>>156071896
that actually makes sense. the show does leave you with some unfinished explanations that the rest of you have to interpret a little yourself. probably im just too stupid for this show

>>156070908

Stop calling it comfy or comparing it to plot-less SoLs. It makes me want to kill myself for liking it. HR is good for consistently good tone, atmosphere, progression, and poetic ambiguity.
>>156071205
Reki literally says "beyond the wall is death"
Also the poetic ambiguity thing. ABe said in an interview that pretty much everything was up in the air for interpretation sake.

>>156071205
nah, that ruins the mysterious atmosphere

>>156072210
i know im stupid

>plot-less SoLs

If you thing The K-on anime was plotless you have not researched it at all. Specifically you haven't read the manga. When you do you are STUNNED to see how much plot the anime has in comparison.

>>156071205
Yeah, let's literally explain what's one of the most important mysteries in the series, a crucial element from which stem the compelling drama and introspective nature of the show. Let's just do that, that will go well.

>>156072210
But it is comfy.
The sadness was what I needed to shake up my jaded soul and actually enjoy the ending instead of just dropping the show halfway because I wasn't invested at all.
It made me cry bitter tears of joy. If that's not comfy then your definition of comfy must be boring shit where nothing happens.

Is it just me or are there really no good torrents for this show? The BDs are upscales with disgusting filters and all DVD encodes seem to be old and shitty.

>>156072670
not like the budget/animation of the show is anything above average.

>>156071205
Looks like someone didn't pay attention to the show

>>156073119
If you take absolutely everything into account, the show's animation quality is serviceable/slightly above average. The main issue is that it's very inconsistent, ranging from low budget hentai to almost Ghibli level (and I'm not even exaggerating).

>>156072670
I downloaded the coalgirls one and the quality was bellow average, and that's because coalgirls always bloat their releases with garbage like FLAC and unnecessary high bit rate.
But the show's animation is pretty bad in itself and no good torrent would fix that.

>>156074486
the wings look a fair bit bigger in the first episode don't they?

>>156074486
Why did she ask her to bite her finger when there was a pillow right there?
Kinky.

>>156074821
for the same reason they give you a piece of wood to bite when you're suffering from epilleptic attacks

>>156074486
i thought her wings are going to be really big when they first came out

>>156074899
The pillow servers the same purpose

>>156074899
The point of putting stuff inside the mouth of someone having a seizure is that the person is practically unconscious, so the person giving the support has to take care he doesn't bite his tongue in the middle of the spasms.
This is not the same, she's in deep pain but she's conscious.
