I gave up on this show last week. I just couldn't bare to give a fuck about these characters any more.
PS: Is there any industry writing about what's up with the sudden surge in smoking media recently?
I don't really see it as a sudden surge, it's really just that two anime focused on it released around the same time. probably pure coincidence, especially since they portray smoking in two very, very different ways.
@neuracnu @rikka There should be soon. I had hoped a place I wrote for would have it out a bit sooner for obvious reasons, but there's been delays.
The TLDR though is while it seems like a pattern, it's really just a coincidence.
