All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
The only problem I have with this show so far is how fast Hinazuki opened up to Satoru's friends, but then again, since she is with Satoru all the time, I guess she managed to muster up the trust as long as he is right next to her.
Kayo is too cute. Poor girl. Her mom made me really feel uncomfortable and I was always thinking about when she'll hit her again - for the entire episode.
So far I think she's missing because of her mother. At this point, I wouldn't be too suprised if she got sold to someone for abuse or just way too beaten up to come to school.
My guess is she stayed up late trying to knit, and her mother got pissed and hit her in the face (which she explicitly avoided).
Thatīs a good guess.
My follow-up guess would be that Satoru uses this shock of thinking she had been killed after all, as a motivation to find the culprit. This is where his friends come in, especially the smart one, and it becomes a full-n Detective Conan-style story.
Btw. in my head the following scene should have happened, because itīd have been awesome: When Hinazukiīs mom was about to hit her and only got stopped by Satoruīs mom, Satoru should have stood a little behind after his mom got going, and told the asshole-mom of Hinazukiīs: "You know, I cannot do anything that would take Kayo out of your dirty hands, because I want her to stay here. But hit her again, and I will make you pay." Just to let that bitch know that heīs fully aware of it all, that he knows what he *could* do, but wonīt because he likes Kayo to stay in this town. Would be kinda badass :>
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
The only thing giving me hope when watching this show, and all the time realising how overly optimistic Satoru's plan has been, is the single fact that the scene in the official page illustration (reused as the AniDB series page picture) hasn't happened yet...
Do you mean the scene/picture where they are holding hands and she sleeps while resting her head on his shoulders?Originally Posted by Kraco
Same here then.
That's only Kayo's corpse.
Peace.
Stop that.
Btw if you watch and listen closely here
you might be able to hear me going "HNNNNNNNG" in the background.
Protect that smile please. Thanks! That scene was basically when my insides went nuts.
Even more than during Usagi Drop. Really felt like this was her first honest smile in years..... and well, it probably was.
You know what needs to be mentioned about this series? The stellar voice acting. Everyone is doing a fantastic job, especially the adult and child hero and Kayo.
Peace.
Ya I thought so too, especially during the very first episode. Adult MCs voice was extremely relaxing.
And while we are at it, the voice acting in that "Surabashii" show (that RPG leveling show) is extremely good too. MC sounds extremely "realistic" to me in there
BTW, I couldn't hear your HNNNNNNNG because my !!!!HNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!! was too loud and drowned yours out.
Peace.
No idea what sound you all are making, because I can only hear my HNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!1 ;P
It is quite incredible, though. I cannot remember the last time I SO wanted to protect a character in an anime. I had a similiar feeling with Ano Hana, but, well ...
If I was Satoru, I would probably take Kayo and run away from home so thereīs no chance at all of her getting killed ... which might be exactly whatīs happening and thus causing her death. Dammit.

I see a dark adult hand creeping up to the left and up part of the picture.
Satoru feels a little strained
The girl on the left could be a depressed Hinazuki or that female classmate that got shut up pretty harshly even if for a good reason.
They are hiding like fugitives.
It doesn't feel like a very positive setting.

That's coz it's not going to show up in the anime. It's a symbolic picture.
Peace.
It shows the main pitch ideas for the show.
The positive part is Hinazuki trusts Satoru enough that she can lean on him and get some rest thanks to him.

It looks like the hideout they have been talking about, what with the junk and everything. Who knows.
episode 5 is out
-----------------
meh, easily the worst episode so far. Hopefully Satoru gets to return to the past as quickly as possible.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Satoru is so many steps behind the killer that it's not even funny. In addition to that, his possibilities are right now quite limited. With the arson (and a second murder) pinned on him now, he can't very well walk into libraries or anywhere anymore to research. So, even if he had got a unique chance to combine knowledge from the future and the past once he time travels the next time, his ability to do that now will be limited.
It's hard to say whether Satoru managed only to postpone Hinazuki fate, not change it. It might very well be she wasn't a victim of the serial killer to begin with and died due to domestic abuse also the first time through. It kind of seems like he didn't realise the truth about that even now. Although at the same time if he's going to repeat the timeline multiple times, it's hard to see him let Hinazuki suffer the abuse either. He'd do something about that already.
Now that I think about it though, the murder of the pizza girl might be trigger to grant him another time travel. Akin to how he was able to travel when his mom was murdered.
If I was Satoru, Iīd use a 2nd chance to fully observe Kayo ALL THE TIME. His mother is awefully understanding, so if he told her "mom, I fear that something terrible is gonna happen to this cute girl I like, please donīt make a scene when I stay out all night to guard her", she might allow it.
And if that also gets Kayo killed, Iīd hope for a 3rd chance and just kill her parents in their sleep. :/
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Just report the parents to the police properly and have them check Kayo's bruises. End of story. If he gets Kayo's trust like he did before, she would admit to being abused. Satoru just needs to fix the final step in his last attempt.
The problem with that solution is it doesn't stop the killer, who is apparently a complete psycho, Red John style. I wonder if the enemy also has a power similar to Satoru's.
Peace.
