Well, she’s not wrong… Mafuyu has been cursed to living a life of always being careful about what she watches, potentially potent medications, and a ton of extra oversight and bureaucratic hurdles for things like getting a driver’s license. @rikka@ani.social

I am not sure how much of a mystery this case turned out to be. I pretty much knew what the answer was going to be as the OP was playing. A large part of that is probably due to family members that are prone to photo-induced epileptic seizures. So, this was not a huge surprise. I am by no means an expert in this area though, so I didn’t know that walking or other sophisticated movements could be an effect, but it wasn’t too much of a logical leap. Also, being able to reproduce a seizure at will like what happened at the end of the episode is not how any of this works. That was merely for the dramatics of the show. That doesn’t even get into the ethics of a doctor intentionally producing a seizure in a patient to prove a point.

As a related aside, photo-induced seizures are something that impacts anime and that anime has actually played a large part in helping implement mitigation strategies for broadcast television. If you want to know more, @LiteralGrill@ani.social shared an excellent article (comments thread) about it a while back.

  I think the photo-epilepsy angle was pretty obvious to anyone old enough to remember the incident with the seizure-inducing Pokémon episode, or at least that’s what clued me in (I also had it figured out very early). Which makes me wonder why the psychiatrist didn’t think to consider possible neurological effects of the video. She seems to have a massive blind spot about the feedback loop between body and mind.

  Yeah same, this wasn’t hard to figure out at all. I don’t know anyone with epilepsy, but if you know a little bit about it, it was quite clear from the get-go what was going on. Makes me question the competence of the doctors haha

I don’t know about y’all but I would have maybe tried to grab her if I’ve seen her get close to the platform. Just a thought…

Really uncool of Amagi to induce an epileptic seizure on two standing patients to prove a point.

''A rare type of photosensitive epilepsy, triggered by specific light patterns present in the video." - This reminds me of some anime that include warnings about epilepsy due to visual effects that can cause seizures in some people. thank you for teaching us, takao-sensei 😁
