I'm gonna be writing out random thought trains that I have about this show after watching it. Just want an archive of my emotions and I want to be able to look back and remember the conversations I have in my head about it lolll
MAJOR SONNY BOY SPOILERS!!!
I think a major part of why it was so engaging to connect with this show was because of how easy it is to relate to characters like Nagara, and Mizuho, and to even believe in the light at the end of the tunnel that Nozomi represented. The show has its introspective moments and in those times, it almost feels like they're breaking down the argument on things like regret over past actions, fear of the future, and choosing apathy over caring because it's easier. Despite seeming so closeted and lost at the beginning of the show, and even falling victim to harsh scrutiny and scorn from their peers, Nagara and Mizuho were the only ones who were able to reach what they had originally set out for by the end of the show. I guess Rajdhani counts too, but even he had to take an absence from the island after enough of their efforts had fallen behind. What makes Nagara and Mizuho special is that they are seemingly the exact opposite when the show begins, Mizuho is barely even shown while they're stuck in the school! Yet they are the ones who overcame the impossible and found themselves all together in one piece by the end. Seeing them 'win' over such odds is satisfying because even if it took thousands of years they, who were shut off from the others as nobodies and nuisances, were the ones who found themselves succeeding in achieving their dreams.
But it's funny how they show what rose-tinted goggles can do to a person's hopes and dreams, they literally give Rajdhani a monologue about it lol. The world looked so dark and gloomy when they returned, almost to the point that you kind of miss the eternity world that they lived in before. They were basically immortals living in the present, and the apathy that results from such a state showed in their demeanor too. Nozomi didn't remember what happened, obviously ):, but Nagara seemingly took this to the chest and accepted it. He had a funeral for his Nozomi, he cried for his Nozomi, and he had just spent months recovering from having the bear the weight of a concept that had been completely wiped away for two thousand years of his life, death in an eternal world. He understood that he probably wouldn't wind up as her friend again, but Mizuho (fucking based ;-;) spoke the most true-to-heart advice she could have possibly given him in the time of his processing how that interaction would affect him. She told him, "If you're even a little bit of the same person as you were when we got on that island, you'll do just fine". She said this because it's that which got them the relationships they had with each other anyway. It was the molding of their personalities that brought out the best in each of them, and knowing he still has that ground to stand on in Mizuho, who knows him and their past, and vice versa for Nagara as a person besides her pets that she could truly rely on, makes you realize that this future, this world that they find themselves in after all their hard work has passed and the powerful emotions of drive and dreams have waned, is enough for them. At least that's how I see the ending, and it's what makes my heart feel so full seeing them have each other to validate everything they worked for as well.

Sonny Boy
(HALF spoiler-free… no major events spoiled except for a reference to the ending and kinda telling references to the progression of the plot)

I just finished Sonny Boy last night and the amount of pure content I feel right now is so crazy. The pacing of the show felt like an eternal walk in the park where you’re focused on nothing but the view of what’s presented around you. I haven’t had a show make me so invested in character’s actions and decisions like this in a long time, and while at some moments it can seem random, their growth and development flows as seamlessly as time moves in the show. Two-thousand years pass within the show’s time, and they go from wearing their personality trope on their sleeve to becoming so human despite the inhuman place they live in.
I think the show did a great job of depicting the huuuuge number of ways people cope with growing up, and you can even align how it feels to go from being a middle schooler to a second year high schooler with the different worlds the characters reside in throughout the story. You can even go specific and make out how it feels to have a large friend group when you’re younger to having your close knit best friends as you get older. You can legit even make out individual characters personalities’ growing and shaping with age despite them never truly growing up due to the nature of the world. I don’t know how you depict both how eternal life would effect the human mind while also using it as a foil for those same characters graduating and moving on to high school.
AND THAT ENDING AGAGAFACAUAGSUSNM
The most important questions they knew you needed answered right the fuck away once they made it back and they said BADABING TAKE THESE NUTS INSTEAD BUD. And then you’re sitting there like ): what the fuck man
But then 🤭♥️ AYYYY MARIA (by Joan Sebastion) they give you nice and cuddly answers to make it be like hey its gonna be okay dude

“Nagara”
HOOOOOOO IM SOBBING
To stay true to your values, to of course stay true to yourself but acknowledge your shortcomings. Do your best to pay back the consideration that’s given to you. Chase after your dreams and please please please don’t get tired and give up or run away. Their last encounter before running off as the song plays them out… omfg… my besties for the resties are okay, they know it’s gonna be tough and it might not be all that in the end but nothing is more important than trusting and loving yourself through it all. Be kind to yourself and try to let yourself follow whatever motivation that is that you can see, and with that, even when it’s dreary you’ll be able to find solace and content in the fact that you trust yourself enough to believe in the path you chose. No matter what anyone says you ultimately get to make those decisions for you, it’s why some characters outright refused Ms. Aki, they didn’t want someone else telling them what their lives meant. In the end of the day, those who follow may or may not find reach their stars, but who knows better where you would like to go than you (:
I loved this show so much.
