ben0119 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Ah 2017 feels so qaint compared to now. Even though 2016 sucked. 1 Quote
ben0119 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Travel through time with the Power of Love even though he wasn't with the girl anymore? Or does truck-kun isekai you and train-kun makes you time travel? LOL Hinata literally got hit by a truck. 2 Quote
Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Taking quite a leap, assuming it wasn't just a one-time thing and that they can make it happen again. 1 Quote
ben0119 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Staying up 2 days without sleep is a terrible way to absorb information. 2 Quote
ben0119 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Peaking in middle school or high school could go a ways to explain the way some people act as adults LOL. 1 Quote
ben0119 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 If Takamichi doesn't even get back with Hinata this could have a really dumb ending. 1 Quote
ben0119 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Imagine this went in a darker direction and Takamichi just preemptively kills those guys lmao. 1 Quote
Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Shaking hands might have triggered how he came back, but what does it have to do with him going back in the first place? I am wondering though who shoved him onto the tracks in the first place, and why they would have done that to some nobody like him. Was it just some random jerk, or did it maybe have something to do with him time traveling somehow? Questions I know will probably never be answered. 2 Quote
ben0119 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 The trigger is a hand shake? But he got hit by a train the first time. So he goes back 12 years from the current date and not to the same point in history? Quote
ben0119 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Imagine betting on kids fighting. This guy is such a pushover dumbass. And that was a dumbass move. What happens if you die in the past LOL. 2 Quote
Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Could just wait till 2029 then and go back right before she got killed in 2017 and try and save her by keeping her from going out that day. 1 Quote
ben0119 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 I thought they barely got in the gang before but the next day they are already doing this stuff? Quote
ben0119 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 (edited) I don't know what's more uninteresting to me, the soccer or the dumb delinquent gang bullshit. Edited February 15 by ben0119 Quote
ben0119 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Did Naoto also teach Takamichi some martial arts? 😄 1 Quote

saito34 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 (edited) I never understood the handshake, but anime tend to get more heavily scrutinized when they straddle reality and fantasy. Meanwhile One Piece episodes are currently taking place in the belly of Temu Al Capone. Edited February 15 by saito34 1 3 Quote

Can't go half-way lol. Meanwhile Dragon Ball Z with its scientifically accurate time travel that avoids parodoxes... 2 Quote

naraku360 Posted Monday at 06:08 AM Posted Monday at 06:08 AM (edited) The time travel in this show breaks more literally every time it happens. It will not get better explained. It will only get worse. Edited Monday at 11:47 PM by naraku360 2 Quote

The real mindscrew would be if it was some sort of closed-loop situation, and the brother was the one who shoved him in the first place in order to trigger the time travel that saved his life in the first place. In any event I'm fine with not thinking too hard about the mechanics if the show is fun. Our protagonist is a good kid (if not a supreme dumbass), and it's a rare thing for modern anime to take on that classic "yanki" vibe. 1 Quote

The best time travel shows are generally the ones that don't take themselves too seriously. Classic example is Legends of Tomorrow. First season they spent a lot of time trying to explain how it worked and the ruminating over the consequences of making certain decisions, and it was kind of meh. Then they retooled the show and kind of stopped giving a damn about making things make sense, and it just turned it into a wild ride that reveled in the fun of being able to go to all sorts of different times and places. Made the show just infinitely better and without a doubt saved it from being cancelled early on. 1 Quote

Yeah, I loved the shit out of Erased, which has a very similar overall premise to this show, and that didn't put any real effort into explaining the hows or whys of its central time-travel mechanic. And then there was the criminally under-promoted Summertime Rendering, which did have some more specific constraints on its time travel but played with them for the sake of increasing tension and drama. Either of those shows would have been awesome to have on the block. 1 Quote

If I ever decide to get it though, I'll definitely check that out. Sounds good. Anyway, didn't mean to imply that there aren't any good ones out there that take the concept more seriously. Quote
