Eden of the East

[narutosharingan]

Can't say huge things would have happened in this episode to explain the game further, but Akira was continuing on his chosen path. It was also made very clear what he meant in the previous ep about taking care of Saki's problem. Although it kind of felt like something had been omitted earlier, because these two eps were bound together in a way that left, for me, a feeling of severed chronology. As if Akira already knew of this Eden project in the previous episode. Or maybe it had been mentioned earlier and I just didn't pay attention.

Akira's unlucky competitor for Saki's heart is certainly going through quite a torture. Of the spiritual kind so far, but like some real victims have said, waiting for the inevitable can be worse than the actual thing. Quite a pinch! The only reason why I wish he would get saved is that his death wouldn't distress Saki. Otherwise he's an annoying character I wouldn't miss.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what exactly is Saki's problem? This episode was a little confusing, as it feels like details were left out or they just glossed over them.

I feel bad for Ohsugi, even if he isn't a great character. It would be bad if they had that buildup but were unable to save him.

I reckon her problem was independence. She wants to move away from her sister and the sister's husband's household. For a few reasons, one of which is not being an economical burden and the other that she can't apparently help but like her sister's husband (like Ryll said), who in turn is a very gentle and friendly person, and no doubt that makes Saki feel like she's betraying her sister. And the other side of the independence is to move on in the society, that is, get a job now that she's graduated.

I feel bad for Ohsugi, even if he isn't a great character. It would be bad if they had that buildup but were unable to save him.

Or this all could be just to get one more player removed from the game. Ohsugi might be a sacrificial pawn in the plot.
