A forum about anime exists to write about thoughts relating to anime. These threads exist to share thoughts about ongoing episodes. Thoughts can be about obersvations praise criticism, etc.. And I criticize this particular job, while praising other elements. But for WHATEVER reason, you cannot cope with someone not liking that particular joke. I find it a bad joke, because she's literally a different person in those flashbacks. Not an "ugly duckling" situation. And a punch to the face is a regular occurrence in anime. A character looking entirely different as a kid is something I've never encountered to this degree.
