This anime delves into the feeling of being alone, being depressed, being stuck in a cycle of self-destructive behavior with no one to assist you and no one to help you. But I also think it shows you how to get yourself out of such a state, out of depression out of confinement and how difficult it can be. It is a story that a lot of lonely people can relate to but also serves as an inspiring message. The main character Sato while being kind of a loser and someone to pity can allow for self reflection unlike any media I have ever experienced. I can't recommend this for someone who wants to understand depression or relate.
