Rather, I'll say that it'd be a bad choice because it's so unrelated to everything that has happened so far. I'm not convinced that Menma being abused would be related to anything happening in the story. It'd just happen to drum up sympathy or tears. That's why I personally believe it'd be melodramatic. |

It doesn't matter what she was expecting. Or what he was expecting. Neither do their genders or ages. She said "no", he tried to force her. How is that not attempted rape? Unless you believe he wanted to watch TV with her in that hotel room?
Seriously, what's next? "Look at how she dressed, she totally wanted it"? |

I don't see much reason why it should be completely ruled out. At least not yet.
I will say, though, that a plot element of this seriousness would need to come up soon in order to be effective, imo. Quote:
If so, things start to tie together nicely, in my opinion. And, to me, melodrama is about making a mountain out of a molehill, or about using an actual mountain for pure shock value alone. If handled correctly, a reveal about child abuse in this anime would not be just shock value, and it's a pretty serious issue that does happen in real life. I'd personally be impressed to see an anime tackle that issue with maturity and seriousness. Quote:

From what I can tell, these were just a bunch of teenagers hanging out together at some establishment. The establishment in question didn't even look seedy to me. Anaru is clearly not enjoying herself like her two female friends are, so a guy asks her if she'd like to leave with him. 9 times out of 10 in anime this sort of situation would segue into a romantic confession on the guy's part (or even just the lead-up to one later on), not propositioning to have sex right then and there. Again, keep in mind that these are teenagers, not adults at a bar late at night.

A Reason for Living
I think the concept of personal responsibility runs deep in this show. Everyone of the friends feel responsible in some way for Menma’s death, but now we see that she suffers deeply as well. She cries not for herself, but for her friends, so much so that in somehow impedes her ability to move on. It's no longer just about the five remaining friends moving on with lives, but Menma moving on with hers (in a less than alive sense).

@Anh_Minh: So saying that it is more complicated than a simple yes or no makes me a date rapist I guess if I don't blindly condemn inappropriate behaviour and think about the whole situation, I am some kind of enemy? Dunno, maybe I give women much more credit than those who vocally protect their rights.

In this case, Naruko is hanging out with people that she has nothing in common, and is forcing into herself a life-style that she does not enjoy. Shouldn't it be for that attempted rape, and the confession from Yukiatsu, she would have gotten into more serious trouble, than her classmates labeling her as a whore. And yet again she is saved by her NEET friend... You know damsels are in distress, not because of stressful situations, but because they can not handle them alone, and this is a recurring theme with Naruko. Now, I know it sounds harsh, but Naruko is not a kid any more at 16, and certainly none will see her that way should this be a real life situation, except a certain group that these days blindly supports one sex completely ignoring the context. I definitely do not support that the old guy behaved properly, quite the opposite, but what I originally said is that Naruko is not exactly innocent in the whole situation. |

If I remember correctly, Naruko said that they are not heading towards the station, in the beginning of the scene. Quote:

Another very good episode, but perhaps lacking the emotional movement I felt from the first two episodes. Menma bawling her eyes out may be getting too repetitive. Luckily, the straightforward attitude of Jinta provides some comfort to Anaru, who was clearly suffering terribly inside.
Tsuruko could make Yukiatsu her slave, if she decided to use the crossdressing photos as blackmail. Actually, she could probably get him kicked out of school by publishing his secret identity in the school newspaper. The fact that Tsuruko has withheld those photos shows she has somewhat gotten over her past unrequited love for Yukiatsu. But I'm not so sure about how she feels with Menma and the others. Darn, I was hoping Anaru and Yukiatsu would get it on. Episode 6 Rating: 8.5/10 Hmm... where were you when the Madoka wars were being waged? |
