holding their fucking pinkies together.

I'd first like to say I spoiled the ending for myself since I couldn't really take it anymore and right now I feel sick to my stomach. I've seen sad shows before but wow, this one really got to me. Maybe it's just the general mood I'm in but the first half of the show being about his mom's death and the second half leading to kaori's death is just unbearable for me and it kinda wore me out. I know some people will say their relationship was beautiful and stuff but it's actually just super depressing. She taught him to heal, but then he's met with another devastating turn of events. If he's anything less than completely devastated for years afterwards then it's just unrealistic. It feels like all the uprising moments where he overcomes adversity and finds something to love is wiped away.

To be honest, I didn't even think that I was that invested in the show and found it to be a bit too poetic for my taste, but I feel like I just followed a story to be gutted in the end. I don't really feel like the experience was happy at all and I just have a sick feeling in my stomach. Maybe some people enjoy this kind of stuff since it evokes a lot of emotion in them but for me, I really regret watching it. I don't want to finish the series at this point either. I guess going into the show I had different expectations of what it'd be, but how it ends is just not something I can view as anything but tragic. The show is about tragedy, and it's hard to realistically find more than that because of the ending.
