Someone tell me I just misunderstood episode 8's message and explain what it was trying to say.
I cannot fathom how "fantasy and delusion is good if it helps you cope actually" is a good message in any capacity, and that thousands of umi fans agree with that.
Also still can't understand how anyone is sympathetic to Beatrice after all these years, she's a deranged cunt. And Battler falling in love with her is even weirder.
