You're SUPPOSED to sympathize but goddamn if they don't make it hard. There was so much excess time spent on nothing. Just time wasted that I finally started skipping through the crying scenes. I sat there watching these guys cry for like 2 hours and was annoyed. It was the definition of ANGST. I'd equate it to a 14 year old writing her first angst fanfiction. It was artistic, sure, but emotionally moving? No. I loved the background and buildup but once we neared the climax, I was already bored. Just guys crying from a far without any result for like 13 episodes.
