lol, its fine for people to ignore my summary and skip to the thoughts. I’ll try to shorten my future entries. The first episodes just introduces the whole plot and characters so it tends to be long for me. Sorry for the inconvenience

Holy shit…22 paragraphs and 58 screencaps…

I’m pretty resistant to tl;dr, but I think this one killed me. You win. I admit defeat.

Hey, I thought your interpretation was great, especially in how it relates to the anime itself. Poems are always more meaningful if you interpret them for yourself

Incidentally, there are tons of variations of the poem in 1st-person or 3rd-person, but the last line usually remains the same…check it out here (possible spoilers from poem perhaps):

Haha, so its actually a poem? Wow, I feel kind of dumb now, haha. Thanks for notifying me though taelrak. I spent like 30 mins trying to figure out how to put what I thought it meant into words too ;_;

Mmmmm was decent overall, has potential but I reserve the right to flame it later. I was waiting for the guy to bust out his eye of the heart and beat the shit out of those guys with his cane. I think it would have made things more interesting, but alas it was not to be.

Since the prologue is a Japanese version of the poem “Footprints” (”Footprints in the Sand”) minus the crucial last line, I’m thinking the epilogue will just include that all-important last line.
