Kaettekitazoyo! Kotaro wa Hitori Gurashi (2023)

Wobbly start, stunning finish

After watching Season One yesterday, we watched Season 2 today. The first couple of episodes were a bit meandering, lacking the tightness of Season 1. The final two episodes were very powerful, and for most of the final episode I was fighting back tears. Kawahara Eito delivered stunning lead performances across both series, but the final episode took his character to new emotional depths and he rose to the challenge magnificently. The first season had the edge in cohesion, and was much lighter viewing overall, but the emotional punch of the final 2 episodes of this series redeemed its wobbly start.

NEED TO WATCH BOTH THE SEASONS!

Thought provoking work!

Makes one to give Serious Deep thoughts about Life.
Makes one to introspect n feel how blessed one is, to be happy n together with a family or loved ones at every stage of one's life, instead of getting sympathy or care from strangers.

Everytime, there is this pricking despair in my heart, whenever I remember Kotaro's lonely struggles n him trying to be mature beyond his age, trying to be disciplined with a specific individuality, trying to be happy like an adult in such a young age all alone, instead of throwing childish tantrums.
He really can't afford to be like every other child of his age :(

It really surprises me how such a little boy can live all alone!? :O , Looks unrealistic but it may happen.

Need to watch both the seasons.
Both the seasons are good and both the seasons are equally important to complete the story n to teach the bitter reality of Life!
(Season 1 is a bit more good :) )

All actors did well especially the Little boy n Yokoyama
