Mixed Feelings
I was disappointed by this one. It didn't feel like it delivered on much. Ouji and Lyuze bite it, which are both sad endings for these characters. It's unclear why Friender survives long after this (we even see him survive well into Ringo's later growth - clearly, she's a very different sort, as she didn't rust either). There are some sweet moments with flowers, and all in all, this felt like an epilogue and a fine one at that.

I can't say the same for the rest. Casshern decides that now, he's going to fight (so much for his resolve of the last episode), bodying Braiking Boss's hastily acquired army and then the big man himself. It's a last hurdle of sorts, though it's unclear why any of this was necessary or what Braiking Boss's aim was, given that he refused access to immortality and instead gave it to his followers. Maybe he wasn't such a bad guy in the end, but he didn't really serve a purpose in the story. Casshern confronts Luna, tells her that he will return if she forgets death, and disappears. He's committing to be an angel of death for this world, which is fine, it's just not that interesting given that he apparently never appears again and we don't know how Luna changes in the aftermath.

Overall, I felt a bit underwhelmed by this series. It had great themes and some of these episodes were incredibly strong. Even those that I didn't like had their moments. But I found myself liking more of the ideas the show presented rather than their executions.
