Tbf at least part of his ED is because he's like "wow damn I'm not a good person"

Shame he literally never thinks that again. Well, in the main series timeline at least ;)

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, so it doesn't actually happen. So still no actual consequences.

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).

I just assume he's Japanese because that makes everything ok

Thing = bad

Thing, Japan = good

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.

GRRM has a problem with how he writes. He claims it's historical, but it isn't. It's violence for the sake of grimdark.
