Well. Yesterday night I marathoned through the last six episodes of GH, and they left me with a lot of questions.
Maybe they're plot holes, maybe I suck at connecting events, but nevertheless, I'd really appreciate it if someone tried to help me out:

1.)During the entire anime, Taro's mom is crazy. Then she suddenly stops being crazy without any explanation whatsoever. (Oh and that scene where she thinks she saw Mizuko? She starts acting normally exactly after that. Which is inexplicable because hallucinations are considered to be at the top of the craziness food chain)

2.)The role of the mayor. At one point, Makoto confronts him, and says sth along the lines of ''I know he's hiding something'', but we never learn what it was he was hiding, or what his role in the entire catastrophe is.

3.)Reika is a triple agent. This fact is mentioned in ep 20/21, and never addressed again. We also learn that bioid projects all around the world simultaneously reached perfection, but not with non-living bioids.
So if she were a triple agent, why would she feed incorrect info to her peers?

4.)The what-the-fuck actually happened question:
So in the end, they rescue Miyako and the-old-dude-who-lives-in-the-forest says that the bioids disturbed natural order and thus created vivid hallucinations, which enabled numerous residents of the village to see into the Unseen realm.
He says that while his spirit is fucking floating in the air. Which is mainly what the rest of the people were also experiencing.
So we are to conclude that the Unseen realm exists, but that everyone was having group hallucinations about just the same thing?
Or that it doesn't exist and that every scary thing that happened is, in fact, a hallucination?

5.)Makoto says that since he's been in Kumada, he wasn't able to Soul Travel anymore, but he still drives away those thugs when saving Miyako by channeling his wolf spirit.

6.)The premise is: There's something wrong with the village because Makoto, Masayuki and Taro can't soul travel in Kumada. Then, how does Masato (or Snark) manage it? And on numerous occasions too?

7.)What is the true goal of the Ogami worship circle?
The question is asked in every single episode, but we never seem to get the complete answer.

8.)So. The Komori kids were kidnapped as substitution for Makoto.
And they weren't kidnapped for their kidneys (?) but for ransom.
So how are the children of a sake brewer more worthy than one of an enormous worship circle presided by one of the most powerful women in the world?

...And that's about it.

I just finished the anime and that is what I think, though I'm not going to rewatch to confirm any of this:

1.+4.) There is a certain esoteric theory that is used to explain phenomenoms such as diffrent people making the same scientific discovery, or someone sensing the death of someone close. The so called morphogenetic field shares all of humanities experiences in real time. Basically a medium that connects all souls. The bioids had souls but weren't created in accord with the rules of nature. What I blieve this means is that they where lacking in love by there creators, and where therefore looking for it. They connected to the morphgenetic field to draw people in who could give them love, causing the events of the anime. In the end the bioids recieve love from the various monks and Michio, and are accepted by the other spirits. (The punk didn't love them either, he just hated the lab he worked for.)
It is said in the anime that reality and fiction aren't distinct, meaning everything is real in the end. The hidden realm has different levels of interaction:
- The spiritual level, wich has the real world as its background and interacts with it.
- The inner level, wich has synapses as its background for Tarou and floating pictures for Snark. This contains ones memories.
- The passageway to death, where Tarou talked to the old man on a bench.

And especially to number 1.) The mother just had the same realization that tarou had at the end.

2.) The Mayor was a member of the Ogami sect and the driving force behind the building of the damn and the lab. For that he probably colluded with the sect and Makotos father would have known that.

3.) The different thechnologies being completed at the same time is just a synchronicity. Aside from what she was working on, Reika only knew what Masayukis father told her. Basically the general idea of the technology (wich can be used to judge it's competetiveness), and not how to reproduce it.

5.) If I am allowed to speculate, I would say that meeting and reconciling with his mother were grounding experiences - settling down, meaning they would bind him to the physical. When he confronted the thugs he was setting out again - being adventerous.

6.) Hirata did explain OBEs and that it is a known phenomenon.

7.) Greed, Power... . They are that kind of people.

8.) They probaly didn't need to offer a subsitute, she was quite influencial after all. Makotos grandmother probably just asked a 3rd party to kidnap them out of spite.
That or the kidnapper got abandoned by his gang when he demanded the rasom for easier money, out of fear of getting cought.
