The show has always glossed over why they collectively ignored that advice from the future.


IIRC we are shown that Naho's letter didn't mention the mother's suicide until later on, when explaining why Kakeru had missed school for a week. Now that is indeed terribly stupid. That was the single most important thing they shouldn't mess up but they decide to be vague and criptic about it? How about a big bolg message that says "hey if you invite Kakeru to come home with us HIS MOM WILL KILL HERSELF SEND HIM BACK HOME ASAP"? Would've saved everyone a lot of trouble.

Yep, that does seem particularly stupid.

I feel it's kinda meh. Still rated it 'Good', but that rating might change in the future. Gave the rating because I thought the depression was depicted quite well. It had quite a colorful cast too. Naho was an annoying but believable character. I hope more shows will depict these issues better. I disliked everything about the improbable future letter sending thingy. The concept itself was something that could be okay when handled better and not getting too much attention. However, show never truly addressed the weirdness of living with a recipe for success instead of learning from your own mistakes and not dwelling too much upon them in regret. Also, theories about probability of letter time travel? Spare me.
Did future Suwa and Naho really deal with their regret the way they should, now?

Most other things have already been said, so I'll leave it at this.
