Unlike Uzumaki, I really couldn't ignore the dumbass character syndrome LEAVE HER ASS TADASHI, P L E A S E .
The horror wasn't even that surprising, it was just fascinating to look at. And the circus scene felt forced? It just kinda came outta nowhere and served no purpose except for Tadashi to find Kaori. Which, speaking of, oh my god was I glad when she fucking died. I really didn't wanna hate her but holy shit Mozzart she's like a crybaby on Skittles.
Stinky fish was great though, amazing character.
