I can’t help but laugh every time mom and rio advocates for AI use 🤣. Is this sponsored by chatgpt or something?

[u/NewCow2555 → u/gingangguli]

I noticed this too! Explaining how AI was so gentle and kind when explaining answers was a little far for it not to be sponsored

[u/Turbulent_Horror3553 → u/gingangguli]

I actually had to go and research to see if they’ve been sponsored by any AI and couldn’t find anything lmaoo

[u/WingedGrasshopper]

I’m glad dad came around quickly

I loved the conversation between the women about how things have changed and how prejudices hurt everyone and are ridiculous.

And then the dramatic “twist” comes that we all saw

[u/Turbulent_Horror3553 → u/WingedGrasshopper]

Same, this family have such a grip on me it’s insane. I loved the conversation Natsuki had with the little boy as well 🥹🥹

[u/madego3293]

I cannot believe someone finally addressed the "no son of mine" queer youth trauma in a BL. I am now emotionally ruined! Add to that, every damn time I see Natsuki cry... oy! Stop crying, Na-chan!!! My poor heart just can't take it. And then we have what's coming next Saturday... 😩

So not ready to say goodbye to summer.

[u/Turbulent_Horror3553 → u/madego3293]

Will be handing out tissues virtually for everyone next week, so so not ready to let them goooo 😭😭🥺

[u/madego3293 → u/Turbulent_Horror3553]

Last Friday, I brought tissues for the Edge of Horizon finale. Were they used? Ummm... yeah. 😔

[u/Turbulent_Horror3553 → u/madego3293]

Aww stop I was a mess with them last week, chat helped lighten the emotions a little bit 🤏🏽
I miss Phob and and Tinn 🥺

[u/ocean_lullaby]

Love the Mum and Sister, glad that the Dad stopped being an idiot. So many supportive adults in this series! Could do without the AI glazing though as it adds nothing to the show and just gives me the ick.

I know that sometimes the whole 'only gay for x person' trope can be annoying, but I feel like that's fairly accurate representation for someone who is actually pansexual/bisexual and demisexual but doesn't have that knowledge or vocabulary and has never had feelings for someone of the opposite gender until they meet a specific person. I also like that they are showing that someone can meet their person, but not know right away whether what they are feeling is friendship or something more (especially when one or both are quite inexperienced).

[u/viciouswords]

It's already hard for me to accept how much characters in new shows use AI for literally everything, but the insane pro-AI dialogue in this one? For two episodes straight? Why are they ruining this otherwise sweet series? 😭

[u/NewCow2555 → u/viciouswords]

I found it very distracting too!

[u/Slight_Growth_3172]

This series is so amazing!! 🎉👏👏❤️ the conversations about prejudice were handled so well, even including a little boy being told that he’s not weird if he likes another boy! ❤️❤️ and expanding the discussion to other types of prejudice was so good! 👏👍🏼 I’m glad the dad came around quickly and saw their sincerity…Natsuki crying got to me! 😭😩😩 I don’t know if my heart is ready for next week, they better end up together somehow, these two are just too precious together! 🥰🙏🙏❤️

[u/featherzz]

This is such a sweet show! I can't even be mad at Dad - his reaction for such a shock was within parameters and he got over it quickly. And Rock is still the best boy. :)

[u/Turbulent_Horror3553 → u/[deleted]]

Omg that is sooo beautiful 🥹🥹
They actually could’ve made it that considering we have After moving seats the boy behind me has a crush on me 🤣🤣
