| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- holy crap wasnt expecting that ending... series was ok but nothing special, except for the ending maybe. |
     |
| What the hell happened? Now I'm going to have to think this over... |
 |
| I thought it was a really interesting series. The ending just kinda annoyed me though ... everyone dyeing and we were left hanging :( But it was still quite good. At least there was finally a kiss from the professor!! |
 |
| I have to agree with you I was broken at the end of this anime i finished watching it and it was just a hush lol my roommate is watching it now i feel like there should be more but the ending was perfect one of a kind i feel Bravo gilgamesh Bravo! |
| Damn Why did everybody have to die?!? WTF I Actually shed Some Tears But other than that i enjoyed the series |
 |
| epic anime. one of my favorites and the ending was awesome. everyone died (: . this definitely was something different and i enjoyed it all, the environment is almost unique, as well as the ending. |
     |
| The ending was unexpected and quite enjoyable. I really liked the piano music in this episode. |

| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_49H_N43jQ #MakeAnimeGreatAgain SAY NO MORE LOLI! BRING MORE GENRES EVERY SEASON THAN JUST LOLI |
| So does anyone know what the little girl (Tear) said to her at the end be4 she got stabbed? Okasan?? Gomenasai?? i coudn't make it out. |
 |
| awesome ending! It's was very sad, especially when all die. It have very similar points with NGE, I think it is a little based in it. I never expected this end, especially the final scene, where shows which Enkidu did, did not changed nothing. Humans still imperfect, and not purified and that cannot be changed, leaving it to God. Well it's just my way to see what happed, just after watch it. Loved the series and seems underrated to me. |
 |
| the end is pretty amazing,also reminded me of evangelion in some points like have said. with the use of longinus symbolism and other religious/mythical themes. Too bad the animation and design is kinda let down |
| O hate endings like this. I really enjoyed the anime all the way up til everyone was killed.Because then it seemed like what was the point in watching it if everyone died. |
| Sometimes, as a joke, someone will tell a spoiler by saying "everyone dies." Apparently in this it was no joke. It might be that I'm a sucker for happy endings, but this just left completely unsatisfied. I was enjoying the series up until the last episode. I guess I'm glad the some people liked the ending. |
| After all those fights, suddenly everyone just dies so easily |
| The animation and character design was so bad that I wanted to die, but the actual story saved my life. If Tear would have taken the form of Novem or Tatsuya, she probably wouldn't have been slaughtered and this new species would have lived on and been able to evolve. |
 |
| ...............................wtf.....................what happened!!! waz with the killing your child ending???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!! |
| "Do not consider yourself deprived because your dreams were not fulfilled; the truly deprived have never dreams." -Marie von Ebner |
| Even the last episode was pretty boring just like the rest of the anime! The whole setting is just boring as hell! Because of the Atmosphere i tried to believe in this anime that it could improve but in the end it did not… Other than the very slight development per episode and the random action that used to make it look a bit realistic still failed in the end to make it actual look interesting… In the end the action was pretty decent and the final climax was there but the buildup towards the end was pretty lousy done… The concept of the anime was pretty interesting and that's why I also started watching this anime but well it really disappointed me with bad development and the boring setting! 3/10 |
 |
| For a moment there I thought Tomino directed this episode, with all that slaughter and all... Anyway, show was too slow paced for my liking. 6/10 |
| I'm not sure I get that Kyoko sequence in the end though. I would sort have been perfectly content with the final kiss and the deluge in the end. As if they felt the need to include a Kyoko final twist in it!?! I'll overlook this when scoring this otherwise perfect anime. |
 |
| So here's what I got- Tear, born of jealousy in the womb of Heaven's Gate, possessed Madoka and blew up Heaven's Gate, creating a shell of sorts to protect the next step of human evolution that it intended inhabit the planet- the baby Kiyoko was carrying. Tear's plan is a success, the mirror-sky comes down and humanity is no more. It's not Kiyoko who meets Tear, but Kiyoko's 'baby'. When Tear approaches her with the intention of starting a new race to toy with she rejects her, killing her with Kiyoko's tuning fork and smiling manically, perhaps taking pleasure in exacting revenge for all the suffering that Tear caused. But by taking revenge in this way we see that the new perfect race will be no different from the old race. Perfection cannot be attained and the cycle begins again. No one wins. How delightfully nihilistic. |

| I too would like to know what was said at the end that we didn't hear, the same happened at the end of the last one. Maybe it was the secret to eternal life. I loved the anime and art style. I wasn't really expecting that ending though. I thought it was great. Tear to be The Countess's heart, that was a stroke of pure genius but everyone dying after all that was kinda sad, I was really routing for the children the whole show. It saddened me. Then Kiyoko or her baby stabbing Tear at the end, I knew there was going to be something that happened after the end credits, that was great. A slightly terrifying image really. |
 |
| Fuck that ending Idk why but this series took me a lot longer for me to complete than usual. I guess I was reading more manga than I had expected rather than the usual marathon Still, I wasn't too fond of this show overall although I liked the premise of it. This is a pretty good post to sum up this finale imo: SpookyWasabi said: So here's what I got- Tear, born of jealousy in the womb of Heaven's Gate, possessed Madoka and blew up Heaven's Gate, creating a shell of sorts to protect the next step of human evolution that it intended inhabit the planet- the baby Kiyoko was carrying.

| I liked the last 30 seconds more than 90% of the show. I barely even remember much of what happened in the last 20 episodes. Funny they ended with a Lance of Longinus, this really was a poorly fleshed-out lift off (the themes) of Evangelion. Hey, I forgot I said this on Episode 4 Blackouting said: I wanna say [the Countess] is Ishtar [~Tear?] but heck who knows I think she was!(?) Shows what a badly written show this was as I bet no-one remembers any of the vague mythology they threw in along the way. Thinking about any of it just makes a nonsense of everything. Gilgamesh was looking for his friend Enkidu or something? Take away the myths and you just have a lot of sullen teens (+milf) sitting around frowning ominously for the duration of 26 episodes. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishtar#Ishtar_in_the_Epic_of_Gilgamesh) |

| I don't get why Kyoko's child stabbed Tear. What did Tear say in the last 30 seconds? I am not really a fan of "everyone dies ending." 6/10 for me |
 |
| Mostly agree with all that nihilistic opinions, they tried as they might but still failed in the and because world couldn't exict only from good people,it demands rotten ones to feel that superior forms are existing. Sad fact but humanity can't be changed that easily by simple cleansing flood. |
 |
| What an awesome anime, loved the crushing depressing vibe throughout this anime and the lighter moments within it. Ending was perfect, would like to know what tear said at the end though. |

Well, I even had no expectations of improving something after around ep 4-5.. 3/10 as well. |
| My 66th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 6/10 rating. |
| I get all the cleansing flood idea but what the hell happened in the end with kiyoko stabbing tear, can tear even die that easily? does tear even has blood? very entertaining anime overall, I liked it |
    |
| Get rekt tear! Overall it was an enjoyable show despite being extremely ugly, the characters carried it, but I'm not sure if I like the ending...
