Okay, that's definitely not the end! Myoue adult monk said so at the end.
I think I'll need some deep thinking in order to understand more!


Here's the long PV that aired last year! It was really fun to rewatch this after the end of this special! ;)

Seems he created the world and the Black Rabbit and him conceived a child.
And I think the girl is Koto maybe.

Really nice episode but I think it would have been better if we could follow it better. This can't be the end though right? We have to get more in the future.

There better be a sequel to this that explains more because I still don't understand 99% of the story...

Relations between SuzuKen's character and the woman, and even with those people in the temple without conversation? And getting the baby of the main character.

lol @ the end conversation:
Is that the end?

IF you take all the pieces, including the stand alone OVA from last year, and rearrange them like a puzzle, it sort of seems like there is a story being told there. The visuals are sometimes stunning, and the hints of story intriguing, but it's to fragmented to really amount to much more than just "interesting".

The visuals were as always stunning. But I would have prefered more dialogue instead of the song. Especially because I didn't like the song at ALL, it sounded like a totally generic happy ending Disney song and didn't fit the atmosphere or anime at all...kind of ruined the episode and ending for me...Meh would have been better without this episode.

Strange song is strange. I felt like watching a music video for this episode but oh well, it was entertaining in a way.

I wonder too about the ending like the VA.

I found this whole 2012 ONA-series rather boring. Sure, we got answers in the end... but, eh, I didn't really care.

The older stand-alone ONA was a thrilling ride, despite making completely crazy. This was not.

Myoue drew a painting of the Head Monk and the Mad Hatter Witch, and Inari brought them to life.
I finally realise why the "Council of Three" seems to be run by Myoue then.

Inari then left the three of them, leaving with the black bunny he created, Koto.

So Koto was born on the moon to a created bunny. That's wild.

This show was actually surprisingly great. For those who paid attention and put effort into deciphering the show it's rather rewarding, and even then, the visual insanity in some episodes kept it going.

This episode was definitely a quieter one, but it helped cement the show's major theme and answered quite a few unanswered questions. It's worth it to take an hour to rewatch the entire series and get what's going on.

...also, I hope that last line meant good things for this franchise's future. Because the world this show took place in was an interesting one.

This was nice, connected a few of the dots.

@ the "too confusing" people: I like this series the way it is, frankly. This style of storytelling (where it starts as a series of seemingly disjointed stories, and then ends as one story), is a rarity in anime, from what I've seen.

found this episode to be a MAJOR letdown after the first four - the music gave me a headache (saccharine swelling swill and on top of that, not very enjoyable), everthing in longshot, and no good comedy/surreal moments to boot.......still, enjoyed the hell out of the original and the first four episodes of this wonderful and kaleidoscopic piece of craziness, so here's hoping for a full on tv/ova of this!
p.s. - can't believe i am (so far) the only one in this forum who loved the first four, but was disappointed with this one (although it was nice to have a few plot points connected) - i guess it just proves one person's musical trash is another's treasure.......

Did you not watch the original 2011 OVA? I'm pretty sure that already established that the Black Rabbit was most likely Koto's mother?


There needs to be more of this show, so much more, I think it may be the best show I've ever seen. :)

What! No, it can't be over! Noooooooooooooo~

But I'll be damned, that was one hell of a last episode! I loved loved loved the song and just the whole episode in general. It cleared up a bunch of things, despite still leaving a lot of loose ends behind.

That feeling you get when an anime manages to suck you in so completely and swiftly, then ends so abruptly that it just about breaks your heart... it sucks! I wont' be satisfied until we get a full season of Kyousosiga!

So, they saved the best for last in this OVA/ONA series. Definitely worth the watch. I'd say it's a 7/10. Stunning visuals, nice comedy here and there, interesting premise and characters. However, plot is mixed up, there isn't much of a climax or flow to this short series.

Hoping the 2013 TV adaptation keeps what it already excels at and also develops a more steady and orientated plot.

I actually really liked these 5 shorts. I see people rating it low because it's supposedly a "sequel," but in my opinion it feels more like they're simply laying out the universe and the people in it. I haven't read the manga nor watched what's out of the TV series, but I really hope they focus on the plot in the series, then making this more of a bundle of sketches explaining how the universe works and came to be.

Especially this episode, I really loved it. It subtly explains so many things while rolling that feel-good atmosphere.
