Best comedy of the season, hands down.
When Kyouya told loli timekeeper that he needed to say goodbye to someone, I wondered who it could be? The assistant lady on Kawasegawa's team was the first that came to mind, or maybe the artist? Kawasegawa? Nope, the family. Fair enough. But then, in a stroke of comedic gold, he lied in bed, listening to Shinoaki tell him about how she wants to do art again and implies it will be harder on him since he will need to pick up the slack in raising their daughter, and the whole time, I imagined him, with his blank face, thinking "Good thing this won't be my problem". I let out a Mark Hamill worthy Joker cackle at the thought of how stupid the entire scene was. Saying 'goodbye' to someone you're about to go back in time and meet, who is till the same core person, and listening, straight faced, to their impassioned monologue about how they just now want to make art which you are about to rewind with time travel. Truly, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Anyway, Now that he has had an active hand in going back in time, he is fully accountable (in my eyes) for what happens to those around him. Funny that this time skip is only back to where he has already done damage, and so he can only perform triage at this point.
Did I just watch mid-life-crisis RE:Zero? It's right in the title. The loops take so long that I kind of forgot there could be multiple. The show had me sold on each loop being the last so far, but this probably makes more sense.
Good on him for fixing the 'harm' he inflicted by making tuition money for Tsurayuki, also known as work experience (I'll probably die on this hill that he didn't do anything malicious). At least the story is giving the girls (and Tsurayuki apparently) an opportunity to readjust and resume creating. Its not like there was enough run time to tie up the story in any satisfying way, so here to another oddball take on 'fixing' our boring lives that we'll forget in two weeks. Fun discussion, as always.
