I know no one (I have met) here on EZ is that much of an anime fan... however I am so frustrated with this series and have no one to tell it to, I'm posting it here. Currently out on camp watch on my base, so it's me and one other person watching our Comm shop. He already saw this show and laughed at my frustration.
Seriously though, if anyone has sat through all 26 episodes (maybe like me, straight through. roughly 9 hours of anime in one fell swoop) and just thought..."Seriously, what... the... fuck?" please share. For anyone not familiar with it, sorry.... but those who are can probably agree with me here.
If the show had ended at episode 22, with Kei's buddies all getting killed by the Buddha statues and him being the sole survivor... I would have been less angry. It would have kinda sucked, but at least it wouldn't have been the abortion of a wrap up episodes 23-26 were.
I don't know what the writers were thinking. "hey in the last 4 scheduled episodes, lets introduce an entirely new cast of characters... (immediately after killing off the entire previous cast, built up from episode 1-22 aside from the main character), and kill ALL of them all including the main character. With that, lets make the ending so obscure no one will know what to think! Sounds like gold to me!".
The whole series wasn't a failure, and I know the anime was finished without the Manga being completed, but that was just a cop out ending. Could/ should have been better *sigh*
