I am really going to miss this anime when it ends. I followed it from the first episode and the mix of grief, horror, and friendship made it stand out from other seasonal shows. The giveaway is a nice gesture, even if I know my chances of winning are small. Having something signed by the director or voice actors would feel special because this project felt very personal. For me, the most interesting part was how the story handled Yoshiki’s confusion and fear without turning him into a shallow character. The buildup has been strong, so I hope the finale does not cut corners.

I think the contest is cool, but what really excites me is that Ryohei Takeshita directed it. Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night was a very different kind of project, and it shows how versatile he is. Here he went into darker territory and created something that really makes you think about identity and memory. When I see Yoshiki confronting this “other” Hikaru, I keep asking myself if I would even want the answer he’s searching for.

Honestly, this is one of the rare horror anime that I actually watched until the end. Usually, I lose interest, but the mystery here kept me invested. I am not joining the contest, but I will definitely be watching on the 27th. I want to see if the ending is tragic, hopeful, or something else entirely.

I have been waiting to see what direction they take with Yoshiki’s relationship with Hikaru in the last episode. The buildup has been careful, and if they rush the ending it could undo some of the strength. Even if the finale disappoints, I will still respect how the series gave a different kind of horror that was more emotional than shocking.
