With the global situation being what it is I didn't mind the conclusion to be separate from the rest of the anime if that meant they'd have enough time to work on making it a suiting one. I'd love to know what happened to make this thing be what ended up being made though.
The first half is essentially a recap to get you up to speed before the actual story happens which in itself is a nice idea, I'll admit that. But please make that an entirely separate episode so it's optional and can be skipped by people who don't feel they need it. That would also make it easier for people watching this after everything has aired and for potential TV re-runs.
After that we finally get thrown into what is supposed to be the conclusion and boy have I never seen a worse conclusion. It concludes absolutely nothing. If anything it throws even more questions and loose plot-threads into the room.
The story it does tell isn't really helping anything either given that I would occasionally lose track of what was going on and why.
Ai's character also confused me a whole lot because at some point she felt like an entirely different person and I understand that the development might be somewhat shocking but at this point it should not cause her to react in a manner that is this contrary to what we're used to.
Overall this is a trainwreck that in my opinion should never have happened.
