Ending Predictions

 jpny01:

The whole last hour of the ep was Nut missing Tofu.  Prib started a whole line of products in his memory, Nut wrote the screenplay - maybe it seemed like it was a day, but the ending had to be at least a year after Tofu's death - otherwise Tarn couldn't have recovered,  defeated the evil corporation, taken over Jan's house and set up a studio. It might have even been longer.

What you say makes total sense, but it still felt like he accepted Tarn back as his partner too quickly.

I think if they'd shown the passing of time by dealing with some consequences (in a little more detail) for Saen and Jan - even though I'm not interested in them and dislike them - that would have helped.

Maybe also if Tarn had just a little more interaction where he was consoling Nut, rather than what felt like one discussion. I mean obviously he still loved Tarn, but he was no longer in love with Tarn, so just a little more of that build-up as his feelings changed would have been much easier to accept - especially because we know his ability to process his emotions and feel/show love are a result of his time with, and love for, Tofu.

Someone mentioned they cut quite a few hours of this to get it down to 16 eps - it feels like a lot is missing when you watch Ep 14, and I suspect however Jan & Saen's fates were resolved was probably removed.

I wonder if they wuld consider an edited DIrector's cut ending, with more of the scenes that many felt were missing? I hope their contract with NF doesn't prevent that, even if there is a period of time before it could happen.
Currently don't feel like I would rewatch this, even though it will be a series I think back about, but I would definitely watch extra episodes/re-done endings. I don't need Tofu to end up with Nut, but the current ending doesn't do justice to the series.
I'd chuck money at a crowdfunded Director's Extended Edit!

I know! I wish the ending was more thoroughly explained or played out. They should’ve had 17 episodes lol.

You are not alone.

It was inevitable, though. The show was about coping with loss and trauma - Tofu living on would have just papered over all that and given a magic solution. Tofu helped Nut solve his own problems - he didn't do it all for him. Sort of like when your mother says "show me how to do this on the computer, don't just do it." Which I ignore and just do it or I'll be guilty of matricide. Real conversation:

"Turn it off, then turn it back on."

"What do you mean?"

Anyway, Tofu represented treatment for mental illness and depression - once Nut was "cured", his direct involvement no longer had a purpose - now he's anti-depressant medication as a teddy bear to hug.

I think it would have worked out better if it turned out that Tofu was actually a reincarnation of Tarn but he wasn't fully complete because Tarn's body was dying but he couldn't fully go on because he wasn't completely dead. Once he passes Tofu would have Tarn's memories and we would discover the reason why he has Nueng's body is because Nueng was someone who Nut liked but never really knew him as a person. So essentially Nut would have Tofu's adorable personality, Tarn's memories and Nueng's body in his boyfriend so basically the dream boyfriend. I feel like that would be a nicer ending idk.
