Part of what makes it so painful to watch is how Bokurano humanises the cast bit by bit by getting under their skin, and pulls no punches in doing so. I hope Bokurano 08 doesn't disappoint though, because I'm wondering what else's there left to flesh out now that Chizuru's in Revenge Mode as the preview indicated. Spot-on observation there.

And I don't quite understand why they had to go as far with the teacher. When watching I first thought "Chizuru's developed an adolescent crush on perhaps the only adult in her life who takes her seriously. I can understand her motivations now." They didn't need to go farther than that. I don't get why they had to make him such a slimeball in the end. They even could have kept the affair with Chizuru's sister. I was fine with that. But that would have changed the tone of the "revenge" ep coming next. She wouldn't be the righteous victim, but another screwed-up kid dealing with emotions she can't handle, but what's wrong with that? It's not like the other kids are saints. Still liking the show a lot, though. Yeah, I felt unclean after watching this one.
