I think this is the key point in here. As I said previously:
See, if they showed Nao’s backstory sometime later, then we, as viewers, would expect her backstory to be a big thing. We would expect Nao and the others to be working towards helping her brother… Which I am betting will not be the main story in the long run.
Of course I could be wrong~
That’s probably the statement I agree with the most out of the 40+ posts I read today. Props to you
They have previously mentioned in like the first interview with Jun Maeda that it would be impossible to make Charlote into a VN. Why? I don’t exactly know and can’t really imagine, but hey, that’s what they said, so I personally doubt that it would be like a VN.
That was one thing that I mentioned in the last podcast, and if I am part of episode 2 podcast, I will definitely be bringing it up again! But yes, that does seem to be the case, at least in my headcanon.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I have to say, I really can’t imagine how they could have made it something more feels-y. Under the assumption that they aren’t going to be attempting to save her brother in the future, then any time that they introduce it would be just as good as, maybe even worse, than this episode.
He definitely doesn’t feel as “happy” as TK, that’s for sure, and that’s what makes me curious about him. Like I said, if they end up not giving any information about him, I’d be pretty disappointed.
Lots of people are talking about it, so I won’t reply to anyone specifically, but regarding the whole school-is-a-prison-vs-government-scientists, well… It’s nice to speculate but it’s definitely too early to say anything for sure. They’re definitely making out the scientists to be the bad guys, but we still have no idea about who that guy that Nao trusts is. Just because Nao trusts him doesn’t mean we have to trust him But I guess we’ll find out in the future~
