| Was too much to hope for a semi good ending huh :p. Still it was an awesome show. |
 |
| I was left numb and the tears would not stop falling. What an amazing and depressing way to end the show. I'm really glad to have it in my collection~ |
 |
| Good anime but i really didnt enjoy it. I guess it's not my type of show : ( |
| I was really disappointed that they all died, this could have been ended a lot better. Although they did make it so people won’t want a continuation of the series. |
| Halfway through the show i did expect such ending. One thing is expect and another to see |
| Don't know why but, the final scene where Ichise was lying and watching the hologram flower had the same effect on me as Spike's "bang!"... |

| People cried at the ending!? That's both hilarious and sad. I found the anime quite boring and saw it trying too hard to justify the mob war's connection with humanity's fight for survival. This anime is as boring as Gungrave. |

It is nothing! like gungrave (slow paced ok, mobs present, but everyting else completely on different levels). Maybe you do not like the style or way of thinking of the director (I remember you from the shigurui reviews :) ). Maybe later you can give it another try with more patience, since this show was a very good example of a dystophia about human evolution. |
GuUguk said: arimakenshin said: ...this show was a very good example of a dystophia about human evolution. I think I don't want to have the patience to try to watch the anime again. After watching masterpieces like Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop and Studio Ghibli movies that capture symbolism very well, Texhnolyze failed to capture with me its attempt to feel profound. It felt like a mix between Ergo Proxy and Gungrave. Ergo Proxy did a better job capturing the human will to survive. |
| Beautiful ending. One of the best animes out there, no doubt. |

| Compared to how this show started, it ended less depressing. |
 |
| I was expecting a sad ending but :( |

| i dont really know lol i was expecting a more violent end and hoping for it |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
| Anybody notice how the entire series pretty much has one set of messages? "No matter how much effort you put in life, you will fail in the end" "Don't try to do in anything in life" "Living is meaningless" "There is no hope" greaaaaaaaaat....... i mean sure, it was kinda touching and all in the end but godddamn, really now, just toss a big sack of emo at me. After all the sadness and difficulties the main character and everyone else goes through, they're rewarded with a slow/brutal/wasted deaths. (i.e. Ran and Oonashi give their lives to 'restore' sanity to the city, and Ichise kills off the remaining inhabitants - those assholes deserved it, but still... what a vain death) yea, /wrists yet |
| Wow...this was one the saddest endings I've ever seen. I didn't enjoy the series overall that much, but this episode was just incredible. |
| Amazing ending to an amazing series. This show was truly such an enjoyable ride. 9/10 |
| I enjoyed this series. |
 |
| Man, do those fully texhnolyzed people creep the hell out of me... On another note, is there some site where I could read about the symbolism used in the show? |
| Great show that is just begging to be re watched. I don't know if it's quite as good as Ghost in the Shell, which it seems to be compared to for obvious reasons, but I do think it's much better than Ergo Proxy. Ichise was an interesting character who rarely ever showed emotion, but when he did it was usually a great scene. The characters, overall, merely felt like vessels for the story. However, the other way to look at it is that the people had long lost their souls and emotions. 8/10 |

| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Ergo Proxy cares more about how it looks with its stupid mascara-ridden goth character and bunny-suit moe girl than exploring any worthwhile ideas, and when it tries it just waffles on with exposition and shit. TeXhnolyze is real cyberpunk done good. Just my wee little opinion. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Actually, I would argue that the only cyberpunk "done good" is Ghost in the Shell, Akira and Blame (manga). |
| Wow, that was a pretty sad ending, I'm amusing Ichise died... At times I thought this anime got really slow and boring but it picked up allot of momentum these last few episodes and it pretty much redeemed itself. |
| I did expect main characters to die, I didn't expect EVERYONE to die; basically everyone died. It was a sad ending but I expected it early on (from the main character, setting, background, music, events), though I was still hoping for salvation. Didn't cry though, guess the story didn't quite draw me in enough. For some reason, I have mixed feelings about this series and had real trouble about what to score it. It should deserve a 9 but somehow I don't want to. Since it was made about serious topics and didn't make me think "oh waste of my time", then it's worth a 8 I guess. The slowness, irregularities of the story, how the ideas are presented, and a whole lot of other petty things, makes me want to drop it to a 7 but I have to say that this show is worth the watch. 8.5 if there were half points. By the way, I enjoyed Serial Experiments Lain very much, but this one hm. |

The last few episodes have me feeling exactly the same, there were plenty of times in this show i was fascinated and equally as many when i was bored, but i found the ending genuinely saddening and even more so thought provoking, and for this type of show to be so thought provoking probably makes it a success. |
WhyGodWhy said: What a great series. There was so much depth that unfortunately I couldn't take it all in. It definitely needs a re-watch one day. I feel exactly the same lol. |
  |
| Proxy was far more enjoyable hour for hour imo. |
WhyGodWhy said: What a great series. There was so much depth that unfortunately I couldn't take it all in. It definitely needs a re-watch one day. Pretty much how I feel. This series is a definite 10/10. Sadly underrated and under-appreciated by the lesser minds. |
| I'm glad everything worked out in the end and we got a happy ending. |
 |
| this anime was so borring i barrely managed to finish all episodes, they are same depressing characters drag around all time even when they need haste and it ended same. |
| It's a great series, it made me sleepy a few times, the slow atmosphere worked in Lain, but no here. If I was the director I would have cut this into 13 episodes. ☺ 7-10 Great series, you can't make this without pot. |
 |
| IMO..it's a nice ending but lain and Ergo are much better..there are some episodes that are boring but the ending has it all.. 7/10 for me.. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I dont know what to do now... ;-; |
| Great Anime, although some episodes are technically shit... this last episode, made go wtf. Ichise doesn't deserve to suffer that much, I'm very fucking shocked that this is one of the dramatic ending since Chrno Crusade |
| Decent ending, I can't help but laugh at the sack of bullshit of everyone dying in the end. Theres a saying that goes like this " Life is shit, but like all things, it is constantly evolving, to what? we will never know, maybe to more shit". Just think about it, Ichise never cared about things, not even to make them better even when people tried to help him . I'd say that life is all about Sugar and shit, you can eat one of them anytime. |
| I'm sad... even though the ending was quite satisfying for me, so I should me rather... happy? But then, can anyone be happy after watching this anime? I really like stuff like this... dead cities etc... I wonder how I'd feel if I was there, at the very end. 9/10 for me... P.S. I was truly amazed by the surface city. Truly, truly amazed. |
