Sakurasou is written and built upon First World Problems, if you think about it carefully to begin with, so I'm not sure what point you are trying to make by claiming his problems are trivial.
In-fact, this show should be called: First World Problems, the anime, if you are willing to take a certain point of view. And yes, I think it's clear from his facial expressions that he knew he screwed things up infront of Shiina, by reminding Shiina of her own main problem: the fact that she tends to put everyone in the shade, by sheer absurd talent. |

For all I care, Aoyama can have him. At the momen he is not worthy of Shiina's love. She is just too good for him and with people like Aoyama, he has no reason to feel inferior at all. It's just too bad too bad for her that he doesn't feel like that for her. Last edited by Dauerlutscher; 2013-03-04 at 21:33. |

I like thundrakkon's solution. Start your own company/business with friends who you can trust and supplement your lack of talent to show up those who rejected your hard work.

What a freaking disaster. I had a feeling things wouldn't go smoothly in this episode, but didn't expect it all to go bad at once.
Let's face it the episode just sucked for all of Mashiro, Aoyama, and Sorata. Just in different ways. Aoyama had a terrible episode because she finally just broke down. Not her fault, just finally she couldn't take it. Just crying silently in class, then going outside and finally losing it. Everything just came out as she was left feeling like it was all meaningless. Can only imagine the agony of giving everything for all that time and failing. Not great for Sorata either. Fails in the end against a similar game type. Sadly his game is more interesting but the other one is a safer bet. The money became the deciding factor and his game could bomb if it wasn't perfect. Boom or bust, with the boom being a higher ceiling likely than what he lost to. Then throw some salt in the wounds with the letter to Mashiro. I wasn't surprised with how he reacted, I was just grimacing when it happened. Cause you knew he couldn't hide his reaction to something like that so suddenly. He feels bad, but is already at a low that he can't react quickly to it. Mashiro wasn't shot down in the same way, but she was still hurt. Feeling responsible for this situation, failing to save Sakurasou through the petitions, seeing Sorata and Aoyama in the rain, and then Sorata's words at the end. A series of small things that build up into a pretty painful result. Seeing the only way to make things better being for her to leave. Just sucks for sure. Failure hurts and it just sucks to see how this all happened to them. I don't want to see any of these characters hurting, but there you have it.

Anyway, Sorata was being a whiny bitch, again. The series is pretty bad when he's being like that; when he isn't, it's pretty enjoyable. Oh, and someone really needs to slap some sense into him, and most of the cast for that matter. The cast is between 16 and 18 years olds. They've not worked long enough to fail from a lack of talent, so get over yourself, figure out what you need to improve (which is a lot) and go at it again. Ryuunosuke continues to be the only person in the cast that's made an attempt at growing up. Good in him, sir. |

Where is 1+ rep option when you need it. I got the slight feeling that seeing Mashiro success in getting the front cover may have slightly helped pushed Aoyama to finally just broke down. Another is that ever since the episode Kazuki Fujisawa asked Sorata if he could get Mashiro to do the illustrations for his game, I had a feeling that this was going to happen. Which was why Sorata may have been reluctant to ask Mashiro to do them.

I agree that seeing Mashiro get the cover didn't help and probably did help push Aoyama over the edge. With Mashiro doing the visuals I felt like it was going to be a lose/lose scenario. If it passes he'd feel like it was only because of Mashiro and not his game. But if it failed he'd feel like his game must have been terrible to still fail even with Mashiro's designs. Was caught offguard by the offer to have her be a character designer for the company. A different way to hit Sorata.

Oh my god I finally saw the episode- Please tell me where the flying hell did Sorata blamed Shiina for anything?! That out-burst was to himself, to the unfair world, to pretty much anything else except directly at Shiina.

It's true mashiro was innocent, but I think people are trying to compare sorata to themselves, to make sorata look like a bad character, when those situations aren't even in the same scale. Like the whole "there is always gonna be someone better than you, so deal with it." That phrase is way easier said than done, and is something I feel are said by people who don't understand the hardships of what they're putting off as no big deal. He's just been shit upon by the world, and of course he would be upset. That's life. Any normal person who was just shit on by life would be upset, and of course it's extremely difficult to keep your anger inside. Mashiro is innocent yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean sorata should be bashed to oblivion. kanda would feel jealousy toward Shiina, because it's a natural thing. If someone was better than you in something you don't necessarily work hard for, of course you would just admire them. But if you're going for the same goal, at least a slight feeling of jealousy is inevitable.
In a way, kanda is developing. He has taken his inspiration from Shiina, and decided to achieve his goals. He went from simply admiring everyone who work hard, to feeling jealousy, because he's trying to achieve the same goal of working hard to achieve something. But of course life isn't as fair to normal people. This show truly captures the realism and hardships of life, as well as conflicts and relationships of those with different mind sets. It's a very captivating show, with the concept of realism and character interactions of geniuses and normal people. I live with an autistic sister, so I can understand what sorata is going through. It's quite frustrating, and very hard to keep your temper down at times. But at the same time my sister is suffering from isolation, because of her struggle to communicate, as well as a lack of friends, due to being a minority group.

I really have to join the people defending Sorata this time. He had very legitimate reasons to be upset this time. Do you know what it feels like to put months of hard work and long hours into a huge project? Then to see all that effort come up short and leave you with nothing? It's not a good feeling. Depression, frustration, and anger are all normal responses.
It's one thing for Sorata to fail because he wasn't good enough, but the episode pretty much outright says he lost because the other rythym game was reviewed first and he was passed over because they already decided to do the other game first. He lost for reasons completely out of his control. Yes that's going to feel EXTREMELY unfair. But the real blow here was receiving that notice about a job offer for Mashiro due to her art. Her involvement was completely coincidental and just a supplement to the project as a whole. Yet she gets offered a job just like that the same day Sorata gets turned down. It would certainly feel like life wasn't content with knocking Sorata down, it had to give him a few kicks to the kidney while it was at it. Let me make this clear. Mashiro is 100% innocent in this situation. It is not her fault in any way, shape, or form. Sorata even knows that, not once in his rant at the end did he ever attack her verbally. All that pain, anger, and frustration over the emotional heartbreak of his failure, the revelations about Nanami, and the fact that he slept through the final day of the petition to save Sakurasou only to wake up afterward to find out it had failed utterly had finally reached the critical point and he couldn't take anymore. He had to let it out and vent just like Nanami did earlier in the EXACT SAME WAY. We sure don't see anyone demonizing Nanami here. I wonder why? When Mashiro reacted and thought that she was to blame for this, due to the issue about her being a manga aritist instead of a regular artist, Sorata's response if you looked at his face was clear surprise that very clearly said, "That's not what I meant!", it couldn't be any clearer if he had said the words himself. Bottom line here, this time it's not Sorata's fault so cut the poor kid some slack, he had a VERY bad day, and not everyone is so perfect that they can just hold it in like that. It's more than a little unfair to blame him for this. |

He didn't say anything to Shiina like last time and he's not even mad at Shiina. He's mad at a gaming company that gave him false hopes and made him waste his time when in fact all they were interested in was Shiina's art.

I'm very certain this is a case of people just taking what one person had said and running off with their own conclusion.
Any reasonable person who have actually seen this episode knows that Sorata never directed his rage at Shiina.
