I didn't expect an anime about childhood trauma with kids as the main characters, it made me think of Erased (kind of). the way the story unfolds makes us view the events through Shizuka's standpoint first, which is then challenged by Azuma's, then Marina's. we see the good and the bad, and there are rights and wrongs from each one of them. Shizuka and Marina both take on the role of the abuser and the victim and Takopi ends up understanding that humans can be good and bad at the same time. my favorite character was definitely Azuma as I related more to him! watching this was an amazing but very sad experience, and I can't end this review without mentioning the top notch animation, the great OST and Shizuka's VA who delivers a very convincing and touching performance in the last episode
