| F*ck this show for killing the only really good character, and in what way! He came to his damn senses, he shoudl have lived. if Kurusu really deems himself human with independent will, he should've stayed soft till the end saved him.. |

| Was more obvious at the end. But this really was just a play portraying the lives of how vampires kinda have cruddy lives and the bittersweet ending of it all. The after credits showed the cast being in a ok state but with their immortality this was just a small part of their lives. |
| I am glad at least a handful of people in the replies talk about what a masterclass this episode or show is. I finished rewatching it today, and holy shit, I am actually debating giving it a 10/10. and if you look at my list I'm not one of those potatoes who gives every second show a 10. this was just.... wow. I am actually speechless. for the record, 95% of the "flaws" that people talk about don't actually exist. it's just that this show has a lot of visual story telling, and if you don't pay attention, you can get somewhat lost from time to time. here's the thing. The pilot is one of, if not the single best pilot I have ever seen, specially on a rewatch. episode 6 is great, and 7 is even better. episode 12 seems rushed at first glance, but when you really pay attention to what it is trying to do and say, it's actually perfect. episode 13 is the best episode in the whole, and one of the best endings I have ever seen. all of these are largely thanks to the show having 10/10, music, and direction. the story structure will take your average person at least one rewatch to get your head around, but you can get it your first time through if you know how to, and what to pay attention to. and once you do get it, you'll realize how clean and perfectly the story comes together. and you feel stupid for not getting it sooner. every single character except maybe Rufus, is bloody fantastic, but Maeda is easily the best character here. that is all. if you hated it, rewatch it and pay attention, if you loved it still do the same. I for one liked it way more the second time, and it was already in my top 30 the first time. |

| Welp, that was a touching end and a sad death for Maeda. I really liked the storyboarding in this show. |
| It wasn't nearly as bad as the ratings might led you to believe the sceneries, settings and atmosphere had something special about them, I think they suited the poetic theme the show had pacing, construction or overall the screenplay wasn't really consistent which I believe was the major issue, I wish it was planned a bit better All in all I enjoyed it, it was serene watching experience Also the OSTs were good |
