It is one off those "you don't know something is great until it's starting to slip away", for Fujimoto. He was self absorbed the whole time and never appreciated what's really important, and that was Kobato. She spent her last moments of her contract with his jerky self, and now she has to disappear because of him :-[

Second time watching the series, and I must say while I enjoy the moments of sentiment throughout the series. The jump into existential tropes and the discussion of Kobato as a liminal being really helps put some nice existential spin on the plot and give meaning to why this has all happened. The cliffhanger ending is an emotional drop kick to the chest, and you certainly feel Fujimoto's pain. The ever present happy go lucky heroine has vanished, and his life may never be the same again...

That last confetti saved Kobato from being erased, but either way she ended up somewhere
else than this world.

What a great ending scene! Damn I almost cry with that farewell, it was so good, even Ioryogi was willing for all when he attacked the Ushagi, just can't get what would have happened if she didn't get the last Konpeitou, would the Ushagi erase her from existence? I find it scary they're being creatures of God .-.

Thanks to Fujimoto Kobato was able to fill the bottle. Alas, she still has to leave for now.

Hella emotional episodes back to back.

I'm not surprised to learn that she was dead since the beginning but the last scene was sure sad... she completed the bottle thanks to Fujimoto but she still can't get revived, I just wonder where she is now
