>Red Eyes have been outright referenced in interviews and production notes as Witch Eyes
Yeah and we know Rika has em, even though there's no alter ego in her anymore and we hear nothing about a split afterwards. Either way, we know Satoko wasn't exactly disagreeing until Tatari.
> talked about the 100 years as being responsible for the weight of the love/hate feelings Satoko held for Rika
I checked the interview, she didn't say the 100 years are responsible for anything, she said that Satoko being willing to sit through 100 years is proof of her resolve in the first place. Meaning she had that drive beforehand. Don't make things up here.
> but I'm not defending the anime in the first place.
Obviously not, saying the anime fucked up is what you've kept doing over and over.
>R07 talked in interviews about how Satoko's own childhood suffering and traumas were part of what led to her later actions
I saw that too, he's talking about how her trauma led her to developing an unhealthy obsession over a dependable figure like Satoshi, and how over time that switched over to Rika. We all know that part.
>with the director outright talking in an interview once about how Satoko didn't have much of a character before Gou/Sotsu
That was Ryukishi actually, he said Satoko was just a damsel in distress in the two arcs that were about her while Keiichi was the actual protagonist, so he wrote Gou as a way to redact that mistake (lmao). Unless I missed another interview where the director said that too.
>I haven't been talking about question/changing the flow of events at all, just how those events can be portrayed differently.
But this whole thing started with us discussing how sympathetic Satoko was regarding her dismissing Rika's death and suffering during her 100 years. That's probably the biggest factor here, and so far all we've gotten is "well maybe she suffered horribly during her time there, eh? ever thought of that" which doesn't really cut it for me as far as concrete answers go.
