My Weird World: My Arakawa Under The Bridge Episode 200 realization

Uhm, so... is Arakawa Under The Bridge just Ko(aka Ric)'s dream? An elaborate fantasy borne out of his boredom from his "perfect" life, such that watching the circus presentation played out by it's fantastic set of casts, he was sucked into the said elaborate dream? Oh man. Bad Season 2. Makes me sad. -_________- Could be I'm just reading a lot out of the last episode...b-but...but...anything is possible. I hate episode 200.

I mean, why have episode 200: Applause for you, the ending episode end in such way? Why not just allow the perfectly happy ending presented by episode 199? Why???

Now I'm sad. Waaay sad. As you can see, I'm not exactly fond of such endings where I could glean a lot of twisted ideas, mostly masochistic, just to, well, hurt myself, I mean emotionally not physically.

It's just like Pan's Labyrinth, where I get to question the lead character(the little girl)'s perception on reality and the blurring lines of the fantastic world she had encountered or perhaps created, you know, in order to escape the grim reality she had been led to live in.

Geez. Reality sucks big time huh? The movie Inception too gave me that idea where I think in actuality it was Dom who remained trap in his own version of reality, meaning it must be that his wife is right or he was not really able to escape that dream-in-a-dream-in-a-dream world (you get the gist if you've seen the movie), hence in order to cope with it he just created a world in that dream in which he was trapped, and prolly will remain trapped for the rest of his life, and made it a place where he could live happily ever after with his kids. Back in his "safety" zone.

Crap. So where does that leave poor me? Poor, poor me? The me who can't stay put in the world of reality where pain exists in all corners, stalking me, waiting for the right time to prey on me and inflict pain, pain, pain... The me who is always seeking protection from my made-up dreams of a different world. Where does that leave me? I really hope I could escape too. Well, after all an alien could escape, right? I mean, I just have to find my spaceship right? In order to escape earth and all the hideous monsters (or humans) who plans to eliminate me and all. Right? Right. Yep, resolution resolved, I'm going to escape someday. Someday.
