Just caught up with everyone. Its amazing, best show of the season thus far but I'm actually only watching 3 new series at the moment so I might not be the best person to claim such a thing. I'm a sucker for anything time travel, I specially like the 80's setting which is very refreshing also that snowing town makes me feel nostalgic somehow. The OP song is great too, being listening to it on loop, good stuff all around!
Yeah, I rewatched the first episode and noticed when the mother said that.
So, I'll go with what seems the most obvious thing: The teacher is the killer / kidnapper.
I mean the dude is standing in shadow for like the entirety of episode 3. He only comes out of it when he talks to Satoru, representing, I suppose, his shift to a more personable, public facade.
As for the episode itself, I don't like it when perspective shifts away from Satoru and to whatever is happening out of his view.
Mysteries are manipulative by nature, yet it's concealed for the most part by controlling the viewpoint rather than circumstance. So when you shift out like this--showing a part of the world that the protagonist doesn't see--the manipulation is exposed, and it just feels really unnatural, because if we can see this, why not the killer? Instead the killer wears a fedora and we see his red eyes, because, like all the bad people in the show, bad people exhibit physical traits appropriate for bad people.
I did like the scene at Shiratori Jun's house. I liked the guy's room; the clutter, the solid sense of space, disrupted only by the stilted angles presented to the viewer. You can see how the narrative developed around this honestly weird dude, and how believable and neatly appropriate it must have been, and most importantly, how Satoru, despite wanting to like the man, can't help but mentally match these details to the presence before him.

Thanks GAF recommendation, haven't watch an Anime for a long time, this is great!
Everything is excellent so far, story, drawing, direction. The only thing is some of those 10 years old doesn't sound like 10 years old, they sound like 29 in a 10 years old body...maybe that's the twist?

That's just anime.
I wouldn't be really surprised if the twist is that it's not only Satoru with this ability. Kenya is suspicious.

Yeah Barakamon is one of the few shows that had children voice the kids instead of a grown VA doing a cute voice

It definitely deals with a lot of very emotional issues and presents these emotional moments pretty damn well. That last episode takes you from wanting to jump through he screen to beat the shit out of her mom, to almost tearing up a little at the beautifully crafted Christmas Tree moment that makes her smile. She lives in a tragic world, which is why her poem makes so much sense...

Hinazuki was actually happy for an episode and it was beautiful, Sataru's mom is best mom by far!!!!
"Well, if it was for a date, I would have given you the money for it" then she stopped Hinazuki's mom from hitting her/him.... so good..
No, No, No, WTF? It was going so good there, Sataru did it, but no, he just delayed the inevitable by an extra day. Fuck.
I hate it when everything goes the right way for once, but in the end it is all for nothing.

Another great episode, but I couldn't stop feeling uneasy. And sadly, that ending seems to indicate the worse, maybe. I have a feeling she's late in order to maker the present for Satoru, and I certainly hope I'm right.Things are always calm before the storm though.
Also, what was that short scene with the teacher and the pole? The Polar bear from the North Pole ate the teacher. Do we know which student wrote that? I wonder if it's Kenya...
And Satoru's mom is the best. That scene at the start was so cool.

Episode 4
The last five minutes of the episode were so tense. Everything went a bit too well so I got suspicous and I guess I was right, what a shame.
A bunch of interesting things about the time travelling were set up but I won't try to think too much about it. I'd rather have the show suprise me.
Oh, I guess the scene that gave everyone some sort of alibi was also rather curious. Wonder what the point of that little montage with all the "suspicous" characters not being at the crime scene just after Day "X" is.

And we are hitting 4/4 so far. That episode was really good.
Tensions just kept on rising and rising up until the very end where it all exploded. I swear I was having a breakout of anxiety this entire episode. I'm pretty sure I ended up yelling out some variation of 'Noooo' several times this episode.
First things first, I really am hoping that Kayo is only just out with a cold. She is not allowed to die. No, I refuse to accept that outcome. Please don't die :'(.
That said, that episode had some nice shots of them playing with the aspects of Red eyes... the scene with Kayo's mother being a good example where she has brown eyes when Satoru's was looking at her saying good bye to Kayo, but the eyes turned red when she turned around to look at him walking away.
We also had the scene with Satoru's mom protecting him from being hit by Kayo mother which was pretty awesome. I also hope that Satoru doesn't end up being labelled all 'stalkerish' because of his constant actions of going to her house to watch over her. I personally half expected him to be caught on Day X by Kayo's mother

Episode 4 time
And yep, Satoru's mom is best mom.
It was all going so well, but in a series like this it only leads to a sad ending. I really hope this cliffhanger is just going to end up like "Kayo wanted to finish her gift" or something. I don't want her to suffer anymore ;__;
I thought the montage of characters doing something around the X day was interesting. At first I thought it was just showing how the world was progressing with Satoru's involvement, but another poster suggested it was a sort of "alibi" montage. All very interesting indeed.
I can't help but wonder if Kayo is doomed to die, but Satoru can at least make her last days memorable and catch the true culprit. They wouldn't set up the present day girl only to leave her in the dust, would they? lol

Couple gifs from Today:
Sataru is smooth...
She cares too
From a sarcastic point of view. This is more relationship progression that you get in 99% of Romcom's or Shoujo's out there and this is completely innocent stuff.

It swings and it hits once again. As a manga reader, the series has hit all of the notes perfectly, and this episode showed that once again.

Up to Ep 4 spoilers:
Hinazuki was adorable as she usually is, but the birthday scene was done amazingly(Especially the cute, teary eyes!) Her and Satoru's relationshipI always found interesting, since they've only been this close relatively recently, but it goes to show a.) how fast kids' make friends, and b.) the kind of person Hinazuki has been up to this point to want such affection and never get it :/
Very light manga spoilers that really doesn't spoil anything at all:
This was the episode I was waiting for. In the manga, this is where it really hit its' stride and made me love it. Can't wait to see it in all its animated glory as I'm sure it'll make me love it even more with how well they've been adapting things so far. My only worry is that they have to speed things up to make sure they end it at the right point. I'd much rather they do the 12 episodes and maybe have 4 episodes of specials or a tv movie or something of the like. EP 1 was sped through though and wasn't bad, so I'm hoping they can work it out!

this felt like a really substandard episode and I'm guessing was outsourced. Direction felt particularly halfassed at times and there were many shots of backgrounds that rather than seemed strategic, felt used to cover a lack of animation. Things like the birthday party montage seemed particularly flat, probably due to the lack of animation for something that should have been full of motion.
As for the plot itself, this episode did expand on some possible 'wrinkles'.

the twist

It seems like the timeline is either auto-adjusting in some weird fashion by correcting past events in Satoru's timeline or his mindset is again starting to bleed over/merge. This episode he blurted out what he was thinking more often and I wonder if that trend is going to increase. As for the whole Kayo deal I have no clue what to make of that. Does he need to do more drastic actions like burn down the school?

What can Satoru even do now that he avoided her kidnapping? Just go "lol I pretended to like you. kthxbye." Continue to date her? He's 29 mentally.

Episode 4
The red eyes again? I actually rolled my eyes when I saw them this time. It's getting overbearing now, probably the biggest downfall out of an amazing show.
Now moving on to my thoughts of the episode. I liked it. Satoru is a smooth operator. A smooooooooooooooooooooth operator. I laughed when reminded himself again that he's a 29 year old man and shouldn't get embarassed over remarks like those. And the slips of what he was thinking were fantastic. There's definitely something connecting his memory of events to his slips of what he's thinking and remembering events that shouldn't have happened or didn't change much. Ending was ominous but I don't expect it'll be QUITE as bad as they'd want you to think or they would have been more obvious like showing you a body.
No matter what, they can't really advance the relationship much from Satoru's side, because they have the issue that he's a 29 year old. So they'll probably have her fall in love with him and then he goes back to an alternate timeline.
I don't have much more to say, I just finished an emotionally draining time travel drama series in Life is Strange right now so I can't geek out over how amazing this series is right now or give the episode a fair critique. But 4/4 so far, when my friend comes to visit in 2 weeks it'll be halfway done so I'll watch it with him then.

Fuck, it seems like he only delayed it. I think his memories are actually wrong and he actually did the same things before even though he seemed to shake that idea off. He probably just spooked the kidnapper a bit and the kidnapper waited for another opportunity. Not sure why I didn't think of that happening much less Satoru not thinking about it.
I don't know if his mind will revert, but he definitely liked her when he was 11 before. Besides, it doesn't seem like the case is closed. If he doesn't figure out who the kidnapper is, and be sent to jail, then his mother still may die. He's been so fixated on just making it past a certain date that he sort of forgot some things.

I really doubt he forgot having her at his 10th birthday party. He didn't the first time, and did this time.
Well, that's what I mean. It seemed important, but he seemed fairly certain some events had changed.
Admiral Woofington
Member
events changed but it seems not enough to prevent the inevitable. Butterfly effect is nice but if the person had already pinpointed her for the kill delaying him for a day won't change that.

This is what I'm thinking. Normally when people go all in on something, they tend to see it with blinders on. "This one thing will change everything" so to say. So while Satoru had blinders only on Kayo, he likely missed a bunch of details all in his pursuit of "It has to have happened on Day X"
There is also the fact that his memories are working against him because it has been as long as it has been, so the everyday details will end up being repeated while in all likelihood, they are what needs to be changed.
That said, I'm starting to question whether or not his Revival ability will have more to play going forward. Not in the traditional sense of other people having it, or stupid time travel plots where the killer is him from the future, but rather will it still be able to trigger and send him back a couple of days, or is this his one shot of fixing things and he failed it. The reason being that his Revival ability seems to come from the regret he faced from not being able to save Hinazuki to begin with, and technically nothing has happened to him in his 10yr old self yet, but would he have brought that back with him?
As to if Hinazuki is alive or not, there is still the whole aspect of who the killer is and what he does. Does he kill them immediately upon kidnapping them, or does he keep them alive for awhile? If its the latter and Hinazuki was kidnapped at the end, then there still may be a chance that Satoru could save her.

I knew something was gonna happen at the end because of how easily it all went (even the MC acknowledges it) and having seen Steins;Gate its not that easy changing world lines, great episode though. The smart kid is the one that worries me the most, something's fishy going on.

Stein's;Gate is about preventing the
. This is more a situation that he didn't do the right thing to prevent it imho.
He thinks that because she didn't die on the specific day that she won't be killed now. But the killer didn't get to her on that specific day by chance. He planned this shit out.

I wonder at this. Although he has memories of a 29-year old, the fact that he blurts stuff out and gets embarrassed despite himself - note that he never had these issues as far as we can see in Episode 1 before he goes back - implies that his brain is probably at the stage it would be at around that age. It's hard to just what age he mentally is - he's never had any sexual thoughts about any characters or shown any particularly "adult" traits.
There was a pretty sweet lateral shot in this episode. That's about as exciting as the episode got as as cinematography goes.
Here is my bad theory of the moment: I don't think Satoru could ever change what happened to Hinazuki. He was sent back to save his mother, and maybe if he had stopped the actual killer - thus changing the events that would lead to his mother's death - earlier, then he could have changed whatever happened to Hinazuki. I think before the end he will have found a way to save his mother, go back to the future, but then have to find a way to force himself back to save Hinazuki. But that has a lot of holes as well. I don't think Hinazuki is going to be dead forever - she was there for too long and simply disappearing doesn't have much impact. I also don't subscribe to the Loop Theory or the Satoru Killed His Mother Theory.
My favorite theory is that Satoru's mother found out about his revival power, and then killed herself to trigger it. Not because it makes any sense whatsoever, but because I like to imagine her waiting for him to get home, walking out in the trench coat getup, and then jumping in the window, and stabbing herself. xD
Rewatched episode 1. Satoru may be an unreliable narrator and they say the parents tried to make them forget as much as possible of what happened so its possible he's just reliving the events as they played out. If he did change things, at least he gave yuuki an alibi now since it didn't occur at the park and potentially saved him from being framed.
Don't know if it was posted but when satoru goes to the bookstore to lookup the kidnapping, the store clerk's apron says "red rum"

He thinks the thing he had to change was Hinazuki's disappearance in order to save his mother. It may be one of the things he has to do or not it at all. His ability hinges on him noticing something out of place, weird or whatever. I think he sort of forgot that. He sort of decided too early what he needed to focus on. I think Hinazuki is definitely tied into it, but without exposing the killer and having him arrested, the kill is still in the picture and his mother will still die.

I'm torn with expectations for the show.
The OP is entirely set in the child timeline, with occasional glimpses at the future Satoru.
I'm not sure if this is implying we do eventually go back to the present. But they have to go back to the present if they're going to go as far as giving as much personality to the high school girl AND putting her in the OP alongside the other female leads. If they do I can only see:
- he fails to save Hinazuki, gets sent back to an earlier time in his original future (around the same time) but now has a chance to save his mom and the highschooler once he learns the killer's identity.
- he saves Hinazuki, gets sent to future timeline but now the highschooler isn't even in his life because his life never lead to the events he worked at the pizza store. Maybe she's the new victim if he never caught the killer?
I don't know. I just can't see a timeline where both hinazuki and the high schooler are relevant to his life to the point they'd be included in the OP without massive ass pull. And if they put the highschooler in the OP simply because she was in ONE episode then it makes no sense. So seems to me like Hinazuki has to die.

Sadly that's what I started to do myself. The suspense was killing me. I think right now I'm about 2-3 episodes ahead of where we are in the show. Not sure how I feel about doing it though, I feel like the show is pulling off the adaption perfectly and now the manga seems kind of bland in comparison. I kind of wish that I had stopped reading a couple chapters ago so I could have the show be the first time I'm experiencing this, so I think that's what I'm going to do after I finish the volume I'm currently on. Luckily I haven't gotten to who the killer is yet so it will be easy to slot back in without ruining the whole thing.

Episode 4
This episode was kinda frustrating. I really liked the non-mystery parts of the episode. Kids being kids, even though on them isn't -really- a kid. The science center, the little interactions, the birthday party. I thought they captured the feeling of little childhood moments and important milestones in developing a relationship really well. I still think Satoru is being a bit too bold in his interactions, but at least it's getting real results. One thing I've noticed in this episode in particular, and this goes with what dresden mentioned last week, is that by not showing the Kayo side of things throughout this episode, it heightens the tension of what might or might not happen in a very natural way. Like Satoru, the audience doesn't know what is actually happening in there (this time). It just makes the scene last week all the more puzzling. The show should really stick with Satoru's POV throughout the flashback period.
What I didn't like though, was a lot of the extra mystery hooks in the first half of the episode, and the stuff towards the end. I don't feel it was really needed to ham it up with the "omg will he change anything?!" direction. This is the fourth episode of the show, not the first, have some respect that the audience knows the stakes and if they're invested in the mystery the tension will be natural. Instead, using all the cheap edits, reaction faces from Satoru, and the dramatic music.... just isn't something I'm a fan of. It feels too much like "oh oh look at me, im a myssssterioussssss show and you should feel that omioussssssssss feeling now"... yeah whatever. Like the red eyes aren't bad enough!

Episode 4
The developing relationship between Satoru and Hinazuki continues to be my favorite part of the show. There's such a childish innocence to Satoru's various ways of reaching out to Hinazuki her while there being such an adult and serious motive behind his actions. Having this dual perspective of Satoru's adult consciousness and his kid body also helps develop tension as you know he alone can't do much to physically protect people in this time period(which makes his mom's protection all the more awesome in this episode). There are of course hints at the story becoming a loop like scenario which I hope isn't the case as I'm very much enjoying just seeing where this alternate timeline leads the characters.

You would think the interactions you did have with this missing girl prior to her going missing would have left a bigger impact on you. How do you only just realise you saw her at the science place in the original timeline that day. Unless there's way more to the deja vu than it seems.
It can be pretty traumatic for a small child when a classmate is murdered and you blame yourself for not preventing it and your friend who you think is innocent goes to jail for it.

Yeah, I don't blame him for blocking that entire time out. Like he says as much in the first episode. And he didn't really remember the race either which is an entirely insignificant thing. But like he's been so gung ho about saving her and remembering back to his last time seeing her, not remembering that he saw her a few days earlier is kind of dumb. I could chock it up to him just being way too focused on that one March evening and not remembering the finer details.

the episode was going well, you could tell it's that too happy moment before something awful happens, then the ending part happened. It wasn't necessary for this episode to end like this. Last week was lame in a similar way with that one shot. They feel the need to insert an explicit hook for next episode but a hook is already there in a subtle and fine way.
