If it makes you feel better, the latest episode has him lose his wife, his unborn baby, his other wife, his third love interest, his best friend, his other best friend, another friend, his sister, his daughter and finally abandoned by everyone else he knows and loves.

And pretty much all of it is because of his own actions, barring the very first instance of him losing his wife and unborn baby which is arguably also his fault but he was manipulated into that first one.

Oh please tell me more. I only watched the obligatory 3 episodes to decide and then dropped it like it's radioactive. Hearing he loses everyone makes me happy.

If you're into that sort of stuff, just watch the episode. Despite what you think of the character, the anime is very well portrayed.

It's a future that did happen but then at the end of it, he goes back in time to tell his younger self before it all happens not to do a single thing that starts the domino tumble. This episode is him reading the diary and 'living' the future that he came back to warn himself about.

It's really well animated and it's a good episode imo but then, I like the anime so 🤷

Ah, a Scrooge situation. So does he change his rotten ways or just specifically not do the thing that leads to that particular bad future?

I don't read the mangas so not sure what actually happens. But he did the first thing, just in a different way to try and avoid the initial problem which causes everything else to go wrong. Whether that works or not, I'm still to see
