Aniplex will always still be Aniplex as I already knew.

Positively, staffs can go rest first for half of spring and then work again before June 30th. We will get any expansion chance (although, unplanned or sudden). But positively too, you can see any future now, not easy for a franchise to can live long, but WEP has the contents. I suggest you all to make any fanbase ASAP, like Madoka Magica, or something else.

So they went in an entirely metaphorical direction this time. It was nice seeing Koito and Ai reunite, even though it was imaginary. The clones of Ai (or rather from alternate worlds) became confusing, it was like watching Inception without any internal logic. Oh well, we'll find out how it ends in the Summer.

Okay that ending obviously made no sense on what they left us with. Parallel world Ai's Teacher was a douchebag, but was og Ai's teacher the same? og Ai said that they were different so the reason Koito committed suicide is still up on air...

Also at the end egg Ai gave her eye to og Ai plus og Ai wasn't forced to eat her pet summon so I'm guessing those are important points?

Everything is just so confusing...
it not the final episode. They had one more planned and got a slot for it to air on June 29th.

Sigh.

The superb animation was the only cover for such poor story writing and character progression. Each 'conclusion' of the main character's stories felt so anticlimactic, and even if they did do okay at handling their progression I just do not like the characters at all. Continuous introductions to new story elements and characters allowed for the actual focus on the main cast almost obsolete and creating an endless loop of questions, and I had little to no care for Acca's story whatsoever. Really felt like a magical girl anime that abused 'dark' themes too much in its show. Such a disappointment.

No idea what this sequel episode will be, but I truly hope this time they will actually conclude properly. Even then, I also doubt it will end well.

I know there is an episode in June, but this show while having glowing production at the start and nice character interactions with the group that I genuinely enjoyed, the heart of the story and the messages and how they were delivered by the end felt really heavy handed and poorly executed for me by the end with how explicit everything was showcased while having no case of subtlety whatsoever. The production is great, but it needs to be used properly for the whole project to come together beautifully and make sense. Psychological anime like Lain even feel minimalistic with its usage of music and lack of directed scenes like these but the subtlety of its animation while being able to deliver its messages really well through that and the keyframes was amazing whereas here, everything is exuberant but fails to hold any genuine meaning by the end but poorly throughout out scenarios surrounding mental health and trauma. What a shame.

This could have been a 9/10 anime when I first heard of this, but I knew all it needed was 1 or 2 episodes to fuck it up big time, and when they came, this show spiraled out of control. One more episode is there, but I can't see myself giving it even more than a 3 in the end. Shame that the staff too were involved with straining mental health as they were forced into animating these past deadlines due to how poor the planning had been.

Yeah, so I was furious because I thought ep. 12 was the ending and I don't like the way it ended.
But now I hear that in 3FUCKING MONTHS we'll get a ONE HOUR LONG SPECIAL, that is going to be the end.
Man whenever I heard that, I freaked out. I love the idea of having a movie as the ending, but 3 months is very long time, I guess I understand Berserk fans a little bit now.

Well, see you all on June 28th

It's actually not. The final episode is the OVA/special scheduled for a 30 June release. So we will need to wait 3 full months just to watch the end of this story (by that time many will have largely forgotten about it...). I think I will add the special to my "plan to watch" list, otherwise I will probably forget it in the summer..

It's kind of a shame that such a cool idea and concept was withheld until the story had already fallen to pieces. I really like the idea of Ai accidentally getting paired with an alternate version of herself, talk about a bad roll! Making Ai come to reckon that she could have fallen victim to suicide just as easily as the wonder eggs is a really good idea that also goes to show just how much she's grown and how much of an impact Koito had on her. It reminds me of my favorite Mob Psycho 100 arc in which


That being said, the overall main plot of the story had been an absolute mess since episode 9. The sci-fi angle came across way too strongly in my opinion and didn't have nearly enough foreshadowing or breadcrumbs plot/thematic-wise. Dumping in a completely new conflict that big so close to the end makes it feel impossible to wrap everything up even in a special episode. Most of the best episodes revolved around a single issue or point for the characters that needed to be solved. However, within the final episode, we still need to see what sensei told ai at the museum, resolution for Rika and Momoe's arcs, resolution for the Acca's arcs, an explanation on what the bug girls are, how it ties into Frill, just whatever a "Warrior of Eros" or a "temptation of death" is, how the girls will be able to defeat Frill and the bug girls, and a thematic resolution. If the show had stayed a more pure work of surrealism, they'd be able to leave more up to interpretation. Unfortunately, the sci-fi elements were a bit of a pandora's box, and introducing an explanation ballooned the plot to way more than 12 episodes can handle. If this had stayed a bizarre yet more simple tale about girls fighting suicide victim's traumas to save their loved ones I think more would feel that the landing was stuck. The "lore" and concrete explanations should have never overtaken the focus on the 4 girls and their thematic throughline.

That's not to excuse how poorly the staff for this show has been treated. Absolutely fuck whoever was on the higher committee for this show for overworking and mistreating staff. Even if I disagree with the director and writers' final vision for the show, none of them deserved this. I thought this show would get me to like Cloverworks to some degree, but it's only further soured my view of the studio.

I did enjoy the series a ton overall, and most of episodes 1-7 were fantasitc in my opinion. The visual composition and other aspects of direction never failed to keep me engaged. Voice acting was always really good too. It was a lot of fun getting to see the cast develop and grow stronger together as friends while the show told a moody yet optimistic tale about how Japanese society often harms young women. It's just too bad that it fell off the rails by the end.

Nothing really says satisfying finale like a message at the end of the episode to come back in three months if you want to see the actual ending. But by the time we've reached that point, it was already clear that we were not going to be getting any kind of ending whatsoever. Not one for any of the characters' arcs, not one for defeating the antagonist or even confronting them, not one for any kind of resolution to the story, not one with an explanation for anything whatsoever. Ai gets a hasty fight against a particularly silly giant floating head of the adult man she has an inappropriate crush on, has some kind of hash out with a parallel version of herself who did kill herself… maybe??? So all of this stuff with the girls didn't actually happen? Or happened in parallel universes? Then a Butterfly girl shows up to pull out the eye of Parallel Suicide Ai right before she poofs, meaning, uh… what exactly? I don't feel that you can even say Ai's character arc is wrapped up for that matter. She clearly still has feelings towards her mother and that dude to work through, and nothing about Koito or anything there was taken care of either. So glad that we spent multiple episodes explaining all the weird-ass stuff about AI Frederica Krueger and her terrible horrible no good fathers only to push it off to 3 months, if ever. Also, all those other characters, and, of course, the magical death albino, when we're not even going to try to wrap anything at all up. Why was Neiru especially even a character in the show at all?

What an absolute mess this ended up being. I know people are going to blame production problems and that recap episode in the middle, but if this was the endgame that they had from the start, then it was always destined to become a flaming trainwreck and adding another few weeks to the production schedule wasn't going to cure that. I guess at least we've temporarily dodged the ending where they make friends with one or more of the psychopaths and teach them to love, or defeat teen depression and suicide, or try to make the claim that all these dead girls would have probably been fine if not for a serial killer AI ghost driving them to kill themselves. You avoided having a terrible ending by having no ending. Come back in three months when we'll have run things by our producers and figured out if we're getting a season 2, a movie, or just twenty more minutes to give this episode a second try. Fan-goddamned-tastic.

There's an OVA special releasing at the end of June that looks to conclude the story. The ending was a little ambiguous with where it plans to go, but it seems like it'll be a case of Ai being on board, then her getting the others to come around to becoming Warriors of Eros against Thanatos' Temptation of Death.

Also, if anyone watched this final episode on Funimation, am I correct in saying that the thumbnail for this episode is a still that never appeared in the episode itself. It doesn't even look like it's from the same anime xD

This episode was a little confusing in some places, but it sorted itself out in the end.

The amount of people dicking on the show because it apparently isn't nuanced enough lol

People really need to just watch the show, if they don't like it fair enough, but don't hate it because it tries to explain itself to its audience. Not everything needs to be a lock-box of metaphors and bullshit imagery. I feel the show is complex enough as it is, and if you want to delve a little deeper, there's always the option to. People expect too much from shows nowadays, and it always seems like newer ones can never be enjoyed because people have a rod up their arse whilst trying to sniff out the "deeper meanings" or distinctions.

Never have I seen a show that can work so well, but still have every possibility of being either an absolute masterpiece or being an utter train wreck when the actual ending does arrive in June.

Putting aside the parallel world's stuff (like all other sci-fi aspects of the show) Ai confronting herself was actually interesting as we learned more about her past and her attempted suicide. It may support my theory that had these girls not met each other, they would have probably committed suicide themselves at some point, given that they were alone before. We also see more with Ai and her mother, including her showing her mother support in her relationship.

This was easily the most persona-esque episode, with shadow Sawaki basically made from Ai's own cognition of him and her own thoughts. While I don't think this was necessarily the best way of handling the Sawaki material, it was still effective, and given the roughness of the production, I'll take it.

My few critiques of the episode largely come from the meeting at the top of the hill between the girls. I felt the Momoe's refusal to answer why she didn't contact them was out of character and a bit too much like a last minute argument between close friends before coming together to face a big bad. Also, I don't understand Neiru's line "Even if she was a fake friend?" referring to Koito. Was this just a "what if" line, or was Koito actually a fake friend? It just feels weird to me. I really hope that the eventual ending doesn't lean into the whole sci-fi explanations for the suicides as that would seriously harm the previous episodes and undermine the messaging of the series. At this point, I still don't know whether that will happen or not, and that alone worries me slightly.

They really should have had a more standout feature to differentiate between the two Ai's other than the hairpin. I mean it was a nice touch, and symbolic given Koito's first words upon saving Ai, but it makes it harder to follow, especially in the inked dream sequence and the self-less sacrifice.

what's hilarious to me about it is that i'm seeing complaints about it being too simple and too vague just as often as each other
for me it's just right though, although i would certainly appreciate if it took a similar approach to all their arcs as with ai

Well I guess that's it until June.

This was definitely better than the last episode, although I'm very confused about what just happened. One person on Reddit had a theory that Ai met an a version of her from an alternative reality where she didn't have Koito and ended committing suicide. Maybe that's the case? Idk, but we'll have to wait 3 months for the actual finale.

So many unknowns like how Ura Acca & Acca manage to build the technology to use parallel worlds' suicidal kid to bring back the daughter killed by artificial intelligence(the explanation could be, because they are super smart).

The final boss every girl had to fight. Were they the real culprits of the suicides or they are the visions of the girls think are the culprits?

Who is the mosquito monster that made them eat their respective familiar?

The girls of the respective girls trying to revive, Did they revive in their respective world?

With one episode left seems like is going to be a big info dump or a total trash.

This episode was a little confusing in some places, but it sorted itself out in the end.

The amount of people dicking on the show because it apparently isn't nuanced enough lol

People really need to just watch the show, if they don't like it fair enough, but don't hate it because it tries to explain itself to its audience. Not everything needs to be a lock-box of metaphors and bullshit imagery. I feel the show is complex enough as it is, and if you want to delve a little deeper, there's always the option to. People expect too much from shows nowadays, and it always seems like newer ones can never be enjoyed because people have a rod up their arse whilst trying to sniff out the "deeper meanings" or distinctions.
People just think the production team needs to confine to their will. Ive heard ppl hate on it cuz it was too bloody and I'm like its rated R for a reason.

Tell me about it, it's an absolute joke.

DUDDEEEEEEEEEEEEE What the actual fuck, lol

OKAY, bear with me here, please, I have QUESTIONS!

Should be clear by anyone reading this far that this isn't the last episode, so what we're left with is a cliffhanger, and that's what I want to talk about, so Spoiler Alert, I guess.

In Twitter someone said "My advice if you're confused by the Egg finale. Rewatch and always keep track of the hairpins."

Okay so I went because I was confused as fuck and did that, and now I'm WAAAY more confused. The Ai that initially gets her eye ripped out is the Ai we know since the beginning (I'll call her Ai N°1), since she has a Yellow Hairpin. However, she's the one who wakes up and says "the other me saved me". As this isn't specific enough, initially I thought that Ai N° 1 had died and Ai N°2 had awakened in her body. However, then we see the rest of the dream. Ai N°2 gets closer to Ai N°1, and says "Good luck" while N°1 is unconscious; we can also see that unconscious Ai had her eye taken away cleanly, as there's no trace of blood. Then we see Unknown Ai again after she has waken up, curled up, saying "I'm sorry", and THEN we see in the dream Ai N° 2 WITHOUT AN EYE, WTF... And is also bloody this time...

So you telling me... Ai N°2 ripped her... own eyeball to give it to Ai N°1??

Yeah, well that's a pretty wild guess and a pretty wild thing to do. But that seems to be the logical thing if we do keep track of their Hairpins. So I wanted to put this out there to see if anyone has any other possible theories.

And also, kind of disappointed this is the thing I'm thinking about right now. This show is way better when dealing with more mundane human emotions than with Sci-Fi trappings. I still really liked it though.

PD: Sawaki was CREEPY AS FUCK, WHAT THE HELL!!!
