| Not exactly the greatest ending, but still miles better than the anime one(though any ending is probably better than that) Sad they didnt show Yaha's and Shindou's first meeting or Tsukai becoming an admin, but still pretty good recap. Wish they'd make an s2 with humanity advancing and going to anistropic by themselves though. |
| i don't usually like recaps, but can you find anything new in this one? (don't care about spoilers xd) |

| ZaShunina should have left the earth with his beloved Shindou a BL ending isn't a bad thing. |
| Is this still CGI, or real animation like in the ep 0 ? |
| Saraka Tsukai and the romance were the only major part of the show I found worth watching. The original ending was pretty bad, so I gave the "new" ending a watch to see if it'd have anything interesting... it didn't. The OP sung by "Saraka" has 1,728 plays on lastfm and 238 of those are mine ._. I wish I could buy it on CD without buying a whale-priced BD set I have no use for. I also would have liked a copy of the unreleased soundtrack, I just love the main motif - both the bombastic version in the grand spectacle scenes, and the soft piano rendition that played during the romance scene on the bench. @Elyasis it's CG. |
Shortly after I posted that and MAL went down, I found out the OST had been released four days earlier. So I ordered it from CDJapan, the most expensive album I've ever bought.  My only complaints are 1) still no Tabiuta instrumental and 2) no Saraka on the cover. Still, totally worth it. |

| I think this movie is better than the tv series. Zashunina realized that 2 copies of living being are not same, even his own copies were different from him. Shindou should have used that point to negotiate with him. I think the story will be more interesting if they're fighting using negotiation instead of physical attack. When I read the synopsis the first time, I was kind of expecting negotiation story like Yugo the Negotiator but he was only negotiator at the beginning and became more like mediator afterwards.

I kinda agree with you, even if it doesn't change the story that much, I like the fact that the movie removed the useless scenes, especially the romance part with Saraka, Yukika's role in the end. In fact the anime at the start was really good and I also think it should have ended with some negociations between Shindo and ZaShunina. I wish they could do a remake faithful to the original script written by Mado. How do you know that Saraka was not in original script? Was it mentioned somewhere? |

| I don't get why you all think this was better. All they did was cut out bunch of scenes. And some important ones just to remove the most hated parts. But I felt like the ending ultimately was the same. Shindo isn't around at all, likely dead. Even if he was alive, zaShunina is probably dead. MAYBE he returned to the anisotropic but its never confirmed since there was nothing added to it. It's just more "open to interpretation." I guess that is apparently more satisfying? For me, not really. Not only that, some of the best scenes were missing. As for the Saraka hate. I don't think that's warranted. I like her until the half way point I guess. All they need to do is get rid of her superpower BS, and make her less tsundere childish. Her relatively more conservative PoV is quite logical and relatable. If done properly, it would be a foil to Shindo and zaShunina who wants to advance the world. It would be a good way to present both side of the argument. To advance society but at such pace, it would cause socioeconomic and political instability. I also think the romance is fine. It wasn't necessary and could just be some side thing during the final minutes as an epilogue with their daughter and stuff. Hanamori also wouldn't need to lose 16 years of his life either. The plot didn't need that fight at all. Here is how I would of chose the ending. Everything up to until the cloning of Shindo could be kept. And I think that showed zaShunina a lot of human characteristics. Instead of Saraka saving him from death. It could be where zaSuhina showed mercy and spared him by simply trapping him in Kado. After all, they are close friends. A clone of him is instead released. Most of it proceed as in the anime where the nanomis-hein is distributed. ZaShunina shows displeasure despite a supposed exact clone of Shindo is around. ZaShunina would then go back to the real Shindo. Shindo convinces him to let humanity decide. ZaShunina gets rid of the clone secretly. zaShunina then offers humanity as a whole to go to the anisotropic and leave it to a vote. Like a political debate; Shindo, Saraka, and zaShunina discuss the pros and cons on live television. The vote is against going to the anisotropic, which can lead to zaShunina taking drastic measures as in the anime(forcefully expand kado) But Shindo, via a tense intellectual discussion with zaShunina, convicnes the latter to give humanity time and let humans go at their own pace. zaShunina goes back to anisotropic and finally the epilogue. I think that would be a comparatively better way to end things. |

| I'll be honest.. i actually prefer the original ending. I was expecting something completely different, but its literally the same ending except they removed the romance subplot (which i have 0 issues with). This "alternate ending" still doesnt fix the problem; That is zaShunina sudden hostility on EP9. If they just ended it with Shindo being able to compromise with zaShunina and rejects the Nano, I would totally love that. Just by the idea that humans still fighting over something that meant to advance their entire race (Wam arc) is already a good narrative. Shindo could still ends up with Tsukai post credits and i would be fine with it, and she doesnt have to suddenly being turned into a Anisotropic Being for no reason TLDR: Suddenly turning one of the Protagonist of the show into the Antagonist is especially at the near end of the show is stupid, and its very unnecessary in this type of story in the first place |
| How does this fix anything at all :') In the end, the ending's still the same. The only thing they did was remove the romantic subplot and the deus sex machina when the core of the problem has always been the tonal shift towards the end of the series. My feelings for this series still hasn't changed. I'm still disappointed as fuck and it's very sad honestly because this show tried to be different and interesting which I laud them for because it really was indeed different and interesting in the first half of the show but ultimately became a trainwreck as it went on. It's just sad to see something with so much potential to be the greatest shit to be ever made go out like that. Also the fact that this was written by the same person who did Babylon, another trainwreck with some ambitious ideas lol. He's a little confused but he has the right spirit! |
