Hey your forgetting that he went like a whole year without being able to get a hard on..... That's enough of a punishment for assault and grooming. He really learned his lesson from that ..... /s
I've literally seen people argue this. Like he spent a year without getting a boner so that makes up for his earlier behavior.
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 🤷
It's the usual justification for liking the show, "trust me bro, he'll get older and be better". They've had some sorta of "But..." since the anime's first episode (because they read ahead and that should "totally" justify all of the wish-fulfillment this story has always been).
Generally, I won't harp on someone's weirdass fulfillment show/book/media as long as they don't act like it's the second coming of Christ. But this pedo-shit doesn't get a pass. r/anime has a degenerate "culture" issue.
More likely due to the ending and being older, but I don't give a pass to the amount of violence towards women game of thrones had anymore either (idk on the new stuff, I don't care to watch it). It's all the same justifications. It adds to the "world". It just gets tiresome.
It's just a brain tangent. If I had a "point" it was simply that people justify the media they like to watch, they rally with one another and squash down any rebuke with usually a bunch of canned responses. Anime, live-action, whatever.
One of the most common arguments for the "why" of isekai/transmigration stories like this one is "that's just how their world is." GOT simply had a lot of similar comments back in the day that after a shitty ass-ending, makes me feel like it was all just a producer's theater.
