I didn’t learn until after watching the episode, but honestly I find it really gross to have an anime based around a famous person from within living memory, who famously died by suicide, on a comedy journey to commit suicide. It also feels really gross to portray him as this terrible of a person. Like, from the fact that he forgot his girlfriend even existed, it seemed like she wasn’t actually a partner but rather an accessory for him to take with him in death. And then we see him talk about how he’s enjoying watching the catgirl die ?? Without the historical context, this seemed like an edgy and distasteful comedy where the jokes fell flat, but with context it’s taken to a whole new level.
