P.S: are we allowed to talk about anime here? I’m not super into anime, so I don’t frequent communities that are specific to it.

    Yep, also loved it! The characters were understandable and didn’t feel like cheap cliches. They were all broken in their own fascinating way. And while the ending is more of a slow burner,I do think it fits to the theme of the whole work. What can create such a monster? And who was the monster?

    And I also like them for having an evolving outro. I always appreciate it when creators do that. The song for the outro was a great touch as well.

    And the way Germany was portrayed was really well done. None of that “it’s just Japan with other colors” shit, but rather a great understanding of the history of post war Germany.

    Only two negative things are the slow pace as you said and a personal problem of mine, as I had one of my worst nightmares from this work:

    spoiler for one plot point in the middle

    The scene where the children jumped from the roof? I dreamed I was on the ground below them and tried to save them and failed each and everyone… After awakening I felt so hollow and needed to remind myself multiple times that it was just a dream. Because I was pretty messed up that morning.

      Wow, that nightmare bit was crazy. I’ve never heard of someone having nightmares of this magnitude due to a tv show.

      And about the Germany part, I agree that a very good job was done to represent it. I’m not European, but the dialogues felt very intimate, as if they really were real people that lived through those times.
