What's with the sudden appearance of humor? Maybe the people making this series realized it had already gone down the toilet and just started goofing around.

There has been a bit of humor througout the series, but I agree that the finale is not quite the place for it... and frankly, the finale is taking far too long.

The use of gag face was unexpected and out of place.

Gag faces are really stupid and annoying also that getting angry effects too I don't know what it's called.

Setting up the final fight with Galatea. We've been on this trail since the first ten episodes.

i didn't expect the sudden humor, but it wasn't that bad.
i liked the little scene between Priss and the bike.

Oh right, this show has space stuff. Turns out Mega Maid is busy being in orbit enough for the gang to casually discover that in their garage, coincidentally just when "omg why" nukes get absorbed anticlimactically. I guess Tokyo residents have become jaded by decades of post-WW2 monster attacks but still haven't moved on like Hiroshima. 6/10 - Character development and world building. Better late than never.

@Cnon Those are symbolic bulging arteries of anger. Related to the comically large sweat drop of embarrassment, blushing of love, and gushing blood of excitement. Imo they're fine in a comedy show with serious moments (Samurai Pizza Cats, Sailor Moon, The Slayers), but not the other way around like here.

@Cnon This anime ignored most deaths like in Megamind, so it's not super serious. Even Akira and Ghost in the Shell had comedic bits to show how immature the leads still were and probably to relate to the target audience more. Also, having just seen some gag faces from the GitS manga, there are steam clouds of frustration as well, related to sigh of relief.

@XCT3 oh neato i haven't read gits manga so most serious manga like these have gag faces. gag faces in fmab bothered me as well but i guess it was always common i just didn't notice it.
