So if I get it right this is a CGDCT anime but with murder and ninjas? Hmm might give it a try because I like the purple nija.

>>5681Really? It seemed pretty upfront about it with the way Kuro plays foil to Satoko & Konoha by representing reformation, virtue, assiduousness, etc. All attributes one could think of to portray an upstanding member of society, yet she's the one struggling most in life while Satoko & Konoha live luxuriously and relaxed, free of any karmic retribution. Which seems to be slowly corrupting Kuro's view on ordinary life as well with the constant temptations.
In a way I guess you could say this anime is even more ruthless than Jashin-chan because at least Jashin would eventually get some form of comeuppance even if her immortality ultimately shields her from permanent consequence. Though say I'd Jashin's probably still more
scummy than either protagonist in this.

>>5668I can see an ending where Konoha dies an unceremonious death and Satoko just gets rid of the body out of habit, all her efforts reduced to leaves blowing away on the wind. It would fit the way the last episode ended, showing that life in the system is infinitely replaceable and the empty hole left by a life disappearing will be covered over in an instant. The only question is whether it would be better for Satoko to replace Konoha and be someone else's DV victim or for her to die too and make the entire show a meaningless journey to be replaced by another.
>>5671It's a dark comedy that wears the skin of a wacky cute girls anime to create a sense of distance from the events so the audience takes the murders and abuse as lightly as the characters do.
>>5686>representing reformation, virtueShe ran away from her duty and her colleagues so she could be a lesbian moocher. She's garbage and her failure highlights to foolishness of throwing away the system for short-sighted personal passions.

>>5697Every time we see ninja living their lives, following their hopes and dreams, and being close friends with each other (the only characters to ever feel anything for someone else's death) it only proves how invalid Leader's stated reasons for leaving were. Reminder that she roped a bunch of other ninja into dying just to cover her own escape and did nothing to help give them a life outside the village. She's the biggest scumbag of the entire show.

Arguably, Satoko didn't leave the system at all. The initial reveal that initiated ninjas participate in the death market shows she didn't exit it, just switched sides, and she did this purely by accident under threat of punishment. She subsequently fails at finding a job not just because the job hunt and its prospects suck (which would constitute social critique) but because Satoko is a totally incompetent girlfailure that everyone makes fun of. Like, she ended up finding herself putting down corpses BECAUSE she talked about it in the interview, and it was the only lead she succeeded at pursuing. I'm also not sure Konoha can be said to be a positive portrayal of living life the way you want, given that in her free time all she does is toy with her phone on bed, spending much of her money on the lowest form of gaming.

>>5710>I'm also not sure Konoha can be said to be a positive portrayal of living life the way you wantI suppose it could also be attempting to comment on how people without lofty or wholesome ambitions - i.e. Kuro wanting to move abroad with her lover - get rewarded in amounts exorbitant for the life they life while earning it through underhanded or immoral methods. Perhaps.

>>5910I think she's still more a deadbeat than a manipulative womanizer, given it's a problem the her and Yuri are working on. Also if she really were as sociopathic as Satoko or Konoha then she'd have no problem
letting them turn Sayuri into potato fuel as well. And again the two are shown in complete opposition to compassion.
Konoha only Sayuri when Satoko leapt in front of Yuri, and Satoko only doing that because she tripped. A clever comedy setup, yes, but it really highlights the cold blooded killers those two are. Aside from that thinking about earlier theories I wonder if that's why she's got her 木葉 name.

>>5956Okay, Yuri, just ignore the fact that she tricked other women before you with her masculine wiles, didn't care at all that she tried to murder you and instead wanted to keep her ex around as an orbiter in case she came in handy down the road. She's a liar and a cheat who puts worldly indulgences above her relationships with those around her.
