| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So what exactly happened there? I understand that Kankel was killed by Betterman and that because of (insert long explanation here) humanity has retracted into nothingness (?) But I'm still a little clear on what it all means. On top of that what was with the scene with Hinoki and Keita laughing manically on the shore of some island (going back to episode 1). Where they really alive? And what bothers me more, the manic laughter reminded me a lot of Algernon symptoms, suggesting that Sakura's premonition that it has been wiped off the planet was actually wrong. I don't know, this ending was rather puzzling imo. |

| It was probably similar to NGE when humanity was wiped out and only Shinji and Asuka were left to repopulate the world, sort of a second Adam and Eve. What I didn't understand is how Yakusugi ended up being the Conkol at the end. He was a good guy and helped Lamia and the others out against the earlier bad guys, but then ended up being the final boss that Betterman had to fight. Was he evil from the beginning and only making certain Betterman and Co survived so he could fight them, or did he turn evil after dying from fighting the Brahma? |

| Well...this show is amazing. very strong and deep story, i love its scenario. i don't get mal user, this show is so fuckin underrated, why? PS: what was this obsession with the number 26? series' ep number or what? |
Zarnaav said: This episode made up for some barely understandable episodes , but I fail to fully comprehend it , I will just think Lamia saved everyone and after the battle with Kankel he turned into the baby which Chandi saved , Sakura was just tired she is still alive . Or Sakura didn't hear any voices because everyone died . I just love series who make references in 1st episode to the last . I'm pretty sure the baby was Kaede's I don't see what suggests all of humanity was wiped out. I think for whatever reason, the death of Kankel/end of Algernon severed her connection with the Limpid channel. It showed a key shattering and her seeming like she was in some kind of pain for a second. Iirc, the key was shown in an earlier episode and was related to her connection to the limpid channel. |

| This anime had a really promising start. But halfway, it just turned into heavy verborragia that almost made me sleep. I don't know if I'll have to rewatch it to understand better, but it was its fault to tell everything in a complicated and specific fashion. |
| Such a tense and elaborate final episode. Kept me in anticipation until the very last second of it. I've seen plenty of esoteric endings in anime before, but this is one of the few that felt legitimately gratifying. Betterman in general does a fantastic job of excelling in pretty much every facet of anime design, which is astonishing. |
