I don't get the ENDING of this show, and it didn't answer any of the obvious questions the series kept teasing.
| Like I expected the final episode to tell me at the very least what the haibane are. It just ended with Reki having her day of flight ; whatever that really is? I couldn't feel sad or happy cause they didn't explain what was outside the walls. I was just left confused and unsatisfied. |
| Does the story make more sense to those who have read Hard Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World? Or does it perhaps make less sense? |
| その目だれの目？ |
| The characters don't know themselves and whenever they do learn and come to know whether instinctively or through direct experience and events (such as immediately leading up to their Day of Flight, during it, or its aftermath), we aren't shown and let in on it because we ourselves don't truly know. To the best available knowledge, no person alive today truly knows what came long before, what comes after, or the full extent of what's out there. Magical realism at work. Art imitates life. In a way it's the ultimate fantasy, with its magic lying in the mystery of why we are even born and here at all. Both the haibane and the humans in the city of Glie are like us in that respect. |
| I think the bigger picture elements are ultimately kind of irrelevant as the entire show is focused on the sense of salvation through forgiveness, what awaits them outside the walls being ambiguous to both the characters and the viewer kind of mirror how we ourselves really have no idea what happens to use after death but theres still this perception that we need to come to terms with our lives by the end of it. Reki learning to forgive herself and pass on is all this story really needed to cover to conclude. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
