Lmao, I've always wanted to comment on this show.
So, as an indie game developer with high hopes and dreams, I don't know whether to count my case as better than Kanda. In any case, losing a game competition that you thought you were going to do so well in just hits you in the balls and doesn't stop hurting. Especially when you were being assured that you got the top spot the entire time, to be brought down like that, it just messes with your mind. For me, personally, I was able to rebound since I had another go, Kanda on the other hand, he's just watching himself and others around him fail and seeing the talented rise again. I can't judge his emotions. Heh, it sucks even more when the game-type you lose to is those super popular sh*ts like vocaloid stuffs and not something as creative as maybe a Limbo or a "A story About My Uncle". If I was Kanda, I would gain such a huge vendetta against anime games, you wouldn't even know. Just for the Japanese market, it feels like the easy route for game design. I hate to say it about any game genre, but Kanda lost to an idea that knew it could sell like hotcakes for being about Vocaloids. Now, looking from the exec board of a company, I don't blame them. Would you rather make a game that was a hit-or-miss (Aka Kanda's) Karateka game (they did it wrong in my opinion since all it was was quick-time-events and it just ends) or the tried-and-true popular character game? I mean, it sucks for the riskier title, but the vocaloid game just got it right. I mean, all they would have to do is add some innovative feature to their game, maybe spruce up the art even more. Kanda's game looked like it would need A LOT of testing and even then, it could still mess up at one point and flop. Quote:

Well, I think I might be able to understand how Sorata felt, and he had all rights in the world to get upset. But it is too early to argue that "Hard work did not work" (In his case, maybe, I am not talking about Nanami.)
He has only had around what? one year of experiment in game design? And he could not make his own art, animation or at least programming for his game, could he say that he had tried the hardest? And how many year Mashiro has spent painting? Almost all of her life. She was not the famous artist Mashiro since the beginning! It is obvious that she put more time and effort and hard work into what she's doing. It is not like he did not see why his game could not be selected. It's still his beginning. One year is still the beginning stage, and his project could survive until that round - I think it is already a damn cool result for a beginner. I know that Mashiro is a genius, and even Rita, who has learned painting with her could not catch up with her. But for Sorata to react like this...I feel very bad for Mashiro. As if he just simply concluded that she became succesful because of her "natural talent" only, and disregarded all the year she had devoted for painting - so much that it damaged her capabilities in living a normal life. Did he really think he could compare his one years for that? Sorry, I know it's a shocking and heart breaking news to receive, but it's just to angsty and immature for you to think that way, Sorata. And as the previous post states, Sorata has gain experiments and made a good contact. I know his mind is messed up right now - but maybe after giving it some careful thought, he might understand that for him it's not the matter of hard work and talent - it's simply it's still too early for him to expect a breaking success.

You're forgetting that it's not just about his game that was weighting on his mind, both Nanami's own failure, as well as their inability to gather enough votes to save Sakurasou despite their best effort all place a toll on his spirit.

Of course from the cast perspective, I believe he will soon realise that even though Mashiro does have talent, it has been cultivated her whole life, (starting young is important) hence the current overwhelming difference in talent, compared to his few months. This should play a part in him understanding and maturing as a character. In fact there are still some aspects and talents and dreams to touch upon.

Well that's why I said I was talking about his case in game design only, because the ep gave me the impression that his breaking point is when he realised Mashiro had received an offer. Nanami...I guess it's painful for her, but maybe she really needs to talk with her parents about this to see what's to be done.
I just want to say, sometimes even if you work the hardest, it won't be rewarded. But people with real talent...they work their hardest too. It is not like they just won the lottery because they won God's favour. At the end, Sorata might need to calm down and realise that he still needs to grow himself before expecting a success. |

At this moment (cummuling all experiences and circumstances), Sorata doesn't want wasting more time for nothing and repeating the same mistake when he played soccer. Quote:

On a side note, I don't think sorata was expecting to achieve anything close to mashiro, but I think a contributing fact to his emotions are the fact that maybe he felt that he wouldn't have gone far in his game design without Mashiro's help. Sure he got quite far with his presentation, but I think he feels that was due to the help of Mashiro, and not really by his own hard work, which just overall lowers his own self esteem, which weakens his feeling of accomplishment he had with the presentation. Along with the failure of getting signatures, as well as Aoyama's failure, I feel it was more of an outburst of loss of hope. In a situation like this, I wouldn't necessarily say he was trying to compare himself to Mashiro, but rather losing hope that hard work can actually take him somewhere |

By this point, I am getting annoyed with this series due to one factor:
Spoiler:
And Sorata's emotional screaming isn't helping any. Sure, drama is fine. Keeps things interesting; but at the same time, there needs resolution, or at least a pathway too it. Otherwise, it gets bogged down and downright frustrating. With each "dramatic scene or situation", I cannot help but think: "OK, what now?" Spoiler:
For the most part, my will at keeping up with this series is slowing down for a bit. But, I am keeping up...

someone who ever feels inferiority complex should know their feelings I feel glad that they can put everything in one episode it will be suck if they separate every problem in several episodes maybe all of these will be solved in one-go in one or two episodes this episode can propel and advance Sorata X Nanami's shipping support "normal" people's relationship.... Alien and superior beings just go alone |
