I was so not normal when they showed this scene.
I was so not normal when they showed this scene.
thinking about the new Nakamura-kun, specifically the moment where we get the briefest insight into Hirose’s POV
right before this clip, Hirose shows Nakamura the game they’re talking about. He’s trying to include Nakamura, to not ice him out or make him feel excluded. He invited him to study and then to lunch! He clearly wants Nakamura here and enjoys his company. But Nakamura doesn’t know about the things they’re talking about and so can’t contribute.
We’re in Nakamura’s head for 99% of the anime. We know that in this scene, he’s writing down notes about what Hirose likes (music, shows, video games) so he can check them out later. But Hirose doesn’t know that, and they just came from studying at the library. So to Hirose, it seems like Nakamura doesn’t actually want to be there; that he’s just being polite and is trying to continue studying with his notebook. And that’s why Hirose looks so sad and guilty in a shot that we the audience are privy to, but Nakamura doesn’t notice.
And we see how Hirose deals with that guilt and sadness—by not giving up! By paying attention! He thinks Nakamura is sitting in polite discomfort, trying to sneak in some studying, and he tries to make Nakamura more comfortable. He asks him about what music he likes, he notices when his drink is empty and offers to get him more. He even gets sulky when his other friends usurp his gallant offer by asking him to get more for them, too, because that offer was to Nakamura, thank you!
Then, when Nakamura helps him get the drinks, Hirose takes that opportunity to apologize for his perceived offense of “making” Nakamura tag along.
And we get a nice subtle parallel here to when Hirose almost did the exact thing he’s worried Nakamura is doing now—politely tagging along when Takeuchi tells him to join so as not to rock the boat or be a “spoilsport,” as Takeuchi calls him. Forcing himself to go. And now Hirose is concerned that he acted like Takeuchi and pressured Nakamura.
This is such interesting insight into Hirose, and really helps further establish—outside of Nakamura’s biased POV—that he’s a genuinely kind and considerate person (even if he does have a bit of a mischievous streak with that prank he pulled on Takeuchi) and that he’s genuinely interested in putting in effort in being friends (and maybe more) with Nakamura.
I really hope we get more insights like this outside of Nakamura’s POV because Nakamura, our precious adorable unreliable narrator, is wrapped up in his own anxieties and stuck in his own head, and assumes Hirose is perceiving him through the same Doom Gloom Awkward Weirdo lens he sees himself and his actions through. But Hirose doesn’t know his thoughts, his plans, his hopes, and Hirose has his own internal world that Nakamura can’t see into, either.
And we the audience got a tiny glimpse into Hirose’s internal world this episode.
I'm crying
Just messing with the bro
Don’t let shame distract you from the immense love Jesus has for you! He loves you so much! More than you could ever imagine. Nothing you could do or have done could ever separate you from His love!💗💫
He left the 99 to find His silliest sheep (me)
Nakamura showing Icchan (his octopus) Kawamura's Hirose drawing and trying to kiss it after which Icchan makes a heart. This is so adorable.
for the good of all mankind
Despite the backlash sensei got online for the last couple weeks, it’s so obvious to me that the Otogiri x Hirose stuff is one sided. Otogiri is just a cool younger teacher, but he doesn’t have anything romantic for Hirose, he was out of line for exchanging contact info with Hirose, but I get the impression we’re seeing things from Hirose and Nakamura’s perspective which is that of a child who don’t have fully developed brains and can’t comprehend everything fully.

When Asagiri was asked about Dazai’s greatest fear, he replied that the greatest fear for an ordinary person is death.
But Dazai wants death itself, so there is nothing to scare him with.
However, when Oda Sakunosuke died, Dazai felt a terrible pain and does not wish to experience that feeling again.
God this makes this moment in The Day I Picked Up Dazai side B hurt so much.
This is Dazai acting out of fear, not just rage or revenge but actual fear because he remembers the single worst moment of his life in the main timeline and he never wants it to happen again.
Don't go. You don't have to force yourself to go.
