透明な夜に駆ける君と、目に見えない恋をした。

As some others has pointed out, the broken phone that doesn't allow her to read her old message doesn't mean much since there are services (especially in Japan) to transfer and replace a broken phone. The fact that she doesn't get a replacement means she want to "keep it that way". Another point that hint toward her amnesia, maybe, not being totally real is the fact that she remember having experienced this chimio process 2 other times (that making the 3rd time). Her detached reaction doesn't reflect that she lived through something like amnesia before while she points out that she still remember the 2 other times. There's a possibility that it's her first case of amnesia, but now that we know (and she remember) having experiencing this a 3rd time... there's something strange going on. There's the fact that she show actual concern concerning Koharo's future with the college. While, yes, she could have learned that he was in college while being volunteering for the Kid's Time and such, she show concern over his attendance rate while saying she's not in College herself. That's really strange because the only way you actually know about someone's attendance rate possibly be problematic in College is if you know his or her minimum required attenance rate and maybe even his grade or how he fare at College. Originally, she shared some classes with him, meaning if she had her memory she would remember he should be in a class right now... but should you not remember being at College at all, you wouldn't really question yourself on someone else' attendance rate. And then, there's the fact that she isolated him in the open hospital park to drop the bad news like a bomb. She was already isolated with none of the young kids around and still decided to bring him elsewhere and tell him straight about her health condition. That's a kind of concern you don't really find between someone like a volunteer you would only just met (relatively) and a patient in a hospital. Still, there's a possibility that she learned about stuff through the nurses and what's not around the hospital and that she truly had a case of amnesia due to something. Or maybe she had amnesia, but remembered some bits and decided to act upon it to cut ties immediately instead of when it's even more too late. But, still, at this point, everyone watching this knows this has really little chances of having a good positive ending. (Hell, the top #1 search for this series on Google at the moment is the spoiling question everyone wonders about.)

And it was a very strong if, she didn't had any kind of problems for years, and was able to live a somewhat normal life. After such an invasive treatment she probably thought to be safe, she could have never expected to have only 6 months left. Probably when she saw the confession decided to fake everything, because she doesn't want to completely break him, probably she hopes that he simply moves on and finds someone else to love. A bit sad, but she isn't exactly in her mental state

I thought I was getting “A sign of affection” but with a blind girl instead of deaf one; but the ultimate rug pull is that, judging by the trajectory of the story, it’s going to be a “Your Lie in April.” And if it is, it pulled the switch up a lot better here than YLIA I will say. I was not emotionally prepared, like I did watch the very beginning of the first ep but like it didn’t click at the time obviously.

I admit I was little optimistic but tbh I didn’t think it was going to be heavy hitter show. I just started watching it just because it was romance and the title made it seem interesting, with no prior knowledge or reading the synopsis. I’m watching in the realm upper 30’s, lower 40’s of shows so for the most part I’m taking everything at face value/as they come. I remember everything week after week but not analyzing it much post episode.

I'm glad others feel this way too, I don't want to say things like those stories did this already, and they did it better, especially when we haven't even seen the ending yet. But I'm really disappointed that this became a sadness pile show. Boy was I wrong about her, is shaping up to be my comfort show besides polar opposites. It had an episode where I was afraid it'll derail too, but they quickly reverted. The animation is pretty rough, sometimes non-existent, but the characters are very likeable and have great chemistry.

Yeah, no, I'm out and won't be watching any further. I know everyone's different, personal tastes and all that--I get it, I really do. But I honestly don't understand why anyone would want to watch a show like this ("this" being the new direction it's headed). There's so many sad horrific tragic things in our world that I read about or watch; why would I intentionally subject myself to more of that, in an anime? How would that not damage someone's mental health, no matter how beautifully it's done? The first 6 episodes were indeed amazing--so sweet and poignant, and I really enjoyed those. So I'm just going to pretend the series ended at episode 6 as well. Cheers and best of luck to you and the rest of the folks who continue watching.

Assuming the amnesia is real, it must be tough for Sorano. All those memories and interactions and inside jokes were met so coldly. But with the broken phone and talks of letting those memories go, I’m beginning to think it’s an act. Or maybe it was true at first, cos from what I’ve read chemo brain is real but the memory loss isn’t as bad as forgetting a whole person. I’m thinking especially after getting that confession video, she realized she’s in really deep and doesn’t want him to get hung up on someone that is dying. Maybe even freaked out that she threw and cracked her phone. So she’s using the chemo (which is true since she went through it around the time she disappeared) and chemo brain as an excuse to give Sorano an out. Ngl not that I won’t be sad, but maybe I’ve watched a few of these types of shows and maybe I’ve braced myself early on, if she does pass on by the end, I can see myself not breaking. At least that’s what I think lol

Or, the shock of seeing the video combined with the medication caused a fit of some kind, she dropped her phone, and now has no means to remember. Meaning he has to make her. Which is either incredibly selfish (despite all thats happened), stick with her as a helper and be traumatised further (which is exactly what she's trying to spare him) or walk away. Added bonus if the message *did* induce something, making her remember would be possible fatal now in itself. What a fun episode
