The time travel in this show conforms with the Type 1 Universe in which the “changing history” is actually impossible. The events will stay self-consistent. All the actions they make are meant to be made.

In fact, the “spoiled milk” paradox in episode 13, the solution is typically that a new box of milk is brought in from an previous universe to a new one to be replacing the unspoiled milk. However, in Natsu no Arashi type 1 Universe, the solution is that the spoiled milk is thrown away after all. Even if they had attempted to replace the spoiled milk, they would found themselves facing all kind of unsurmontable “coincidence” that prevent them from doing so.

Also, if the parallel universe is allowed and the milk has in fact been replaced, that means the milk has been spoiled for a VERY VERY long time, being that the same spoiled box of milk has traveled across many universes to be used to replace every single box of fresh milk.

I personally thought Natsu no Arashi had some interesting concepts but an execution that was sorely lacking. But I notice you look for the good in every show you review, which I guess is a nice thing.

This is Patrick, by the way. I’m officially entering the cutthroat world of anime blogging.

Yesssss niccceeee. This show was good. Quite good in fact. I agree that it did a good job with time travel, which is one of my favorite plot devices.

Imo, Shaft + Akiyuki Shinbo chalk up another win with Natsu no Arashi, and the next season is going to be this fall, which is pretty quick, but pretty awesome.
