I'm afraid that's exactly why I won't be watching any more of this show. Call me when noitaminA starts making shows about adults again. I don't know why the Japanese seem so taken with reliving nostalgic visions of childhood and adolescence. It makes me think they're not very happy with their current adult lives.

It's back to Yaichi and Masu for me, perhaps followed by some Matsukata Hiroko. I'll watch a bit more of [C], though I wasn't thrilled by the first episode of that show either despite being helmed by Nakamura Kenji.
