>anime/manga series has a great start full of intrigue and poignant commentary on heavy themes
>in accordance with japanese law is required to have a vague, ambiguous timeline/dimension fuckery copout ending that people will argue is either shit or has deeper meaning instead of just an all around satisfying conclusion

Why is it always like this? Why is Ping Pong the only anime to ever escape this fate?

What poignant commentary on heavy themes the show had?

>>281137378
Literally nothing. the show was repetitive misery porn on the level of liverleaf. Midway through the MC just turned totally cuh-RAZY and everyone else but takopi turned into an idiot

as someone who was bullied, I felt it was the best depiction and breakdown of bullying I have seen in any media

OP so buttblasted he had to make a new thread to try and get someone to tell him what he's missing

I was also a victim of bullying but for me the show is extremely cheap. The characters lack nuance and no changes or solutions are proposed.

I disagree, I feel like takopi was a well written character who learns and changes over the course of the show. Shizuke changes for the worse which I felt was interesting. Marina also becomes sympathetic over the show. The boy was the only one I felt was very uninteresting.

The ending was great you are just a contrarian and a pleb.

The solution is for a time travelling alien whose time machine is broken to remember at the last minute they have the power to sacrifice their life to reset time again in a way that leaves vague memories of them unlike every other time they time travelled.

Westerners are plot/endingfags, this is why they don't understand Lain. Just concede that anime is not for you.

It showed us how women getting rights was a mistake, not everyone want to touch that topic.
