HOW DID I COMPLETELY MISS THAT THIS SHOW WAS A METAPHOR FOR PUBERTY UNTIL ALMOST THE END OF THE SERIES
COME ON, LORE
That’s kind of embarrassing, honestly. At least I figured it out eventually.
So, looking back--the robots coming out of Naota’s head, are these unwanted sexual feelings he’s having a hard time with? And Haruko...it’s hard to tell what Haruko is supposed to be. Is she just straightforwardly an Experienced Older Woman taking advantage of him? Is she a metaphor for something more indirect? I’m going to have to think on that for a while.
That’s it for today--I’m going to try to do more liveblogs between now and the end of the month, but I can’t promise anything. I have some new meds at the pharmacy waiting for me that may severely cut down my anxiety, but I don’t know if I’ll get the chance to test them before the end of the month; I don’t want to go into the final day’s crunch with an untested medication that may make me loopy or sleepy, my usual ride can’t take me to the pharmacy (which is in the next town over) until Friday, and I have patron streams to do on the 29th and 30th.
We’ll see what happens.
In the meantime, thank you all for tuning in, and thank you to my 48 patrons, who help me survive month to month! I’ll see you all again soon!
