Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Given that I'd figured out how the series works as far as world view/philosophy, I'm not surprised, but yup xD That was a gigantic feel troll for sure!!!

I am sad it's over. This was definitely in my top 3 this season, and was definitely the most unexpected one. I didn't have this series figured out for the longest time, and it kept up the surprises all along the way. It's definitely very Japanese writing-wise, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who expects things to be neatly explained and wrapped up - it's a world-building show where you don't really get to know very much, you just get to "dip your toes" and get introduced to a few characters, but it's never a complete story. Which personally, I loved.

wat.

That entire last ep made NO SENSE. I still got the feels but ehhhhhh, the double plot twist was really weird. Plot-wise this show was pretty poop, but I did love the universe they created and the animation was top notch as always with a Madhouse anime. I enjoyed it as a whole but it wasn't one of those anime that I anticipated every week.

I think the point is that there wasn't really a plot... It took me a whole to realize it, but the show never even tried to have a continuous story, I think. It was very episodic and never even attempted to explain the "big mysteries" - so yeah, it was pretty all over the place and would be a bit disappointing if you were looking for an overarching plot. I really enjoyed it once I realized that it's not what it was about, though.
