The thing about this anime is, i feel as if there was a different ending planned when it was originally made versus when it actually ends. Theres so many questions left unanswered, and that is truly upsetting. But even still, the ending we're given is just as good, and is filling for what we went through with the seasons.
There's no stone left unturned for characters in this, everyone is dealt with magnificently and given their arc, and even expanded on after the fact. It's truly a loving a wonderful piece of film. So much love went into this anime with western film classics and so obviously batman, but its just its blended so perfectly to be its own thing. I'm left wanting even more after it finished, of the aesthetics of this show, the style, the setting, the characters, the story telling; nothing truly has come close to matching the Big O in this regard. It has this western dark film noir setting that I just haven't been able to find in other animes at all, and which i find truly alluring and enticing to search for and embrace again and again.
Please watch this anime. You will be happy you did.
