In almost every other vitrine , anyone who would unremarkably see Livia ’s misfortunes would decrease into a recondite depression . However , Livia ’s mental fortitude and resilience give her the means to bounce back and detect some other path to live in this strange new world . This undoubtedly allowsA Salad Bowl of Eccentricsto remain lighthearted and fun , which is critical , since the series is renowned for being an oddball and divertingly absurd .
