Born out of a fresh, exquisite art style, heavily relying on the storyline that is in disarray and pacing that is as quick as a bullet. At the end of the series, it shows a deeper moral meaning amidst all the pandemonium happening, whereas that, for me, is relatable as a whole. Anything in life we always wanted to pursue or to chase the rose-colored life, in which we are conscious and careful of making our own choices and commitments, we are afraid of having life not as nearly in order or of imperfection. But in the last two episodes, "The 4.5 Tatami Idealogue" and "The End of the 4.5 Tatami Age," the entire theme of the series, which is playful, shifts into a more momentous display of existentialism. Whether there was anything to learn from Watashi himself, it's about having to embrace acceptance of our actions, our lives, and the present.
