[Thoughts]

Three words will probably be left in your mouth after watching this final episode: What the hell? Feel free to swap ‘hell’ with something else if you want but that basically sums up my feelings toward the ending. Kazuya is now apparently just paralyzed and is in the care of Waruteishia. I have no idea what the hell happened to him. Did he paralyze himself with his own technique? But that’s not the confusing part. After Kuu disappears Kyoushirou and Setsuna set off to find her. When they do, Kyoushirou is sporting long hair and Setsuna has apparently regrown the very same hair she cut short. Did I mention that Kuu looked like a 10-year old and suddenly reverted back to her normal self when she ran towards Kyoushirou? What the hell was that?! Was that scene representing Kyoushirou replacing Kazuya in her dreams? Or did that actually take place? If so how long did it take for them to find her? I personally have no idea and it’s almost too confusing to even try to guess but it’s not a bad ending. Definitely note.

All in all, the best character in this series was Setsuna (Chikane has had her time in KnM). She’s also my favorite with Waruteishia and Kuu coming in second. Why? Well, I always wanted to see where her story was going and thought that her tragic character would be able to find some relief. Did she? I’m not sure but I still feel quite sad for her. She placed her all into everything that she did for Kyoushirou and she basically turns up empty handed. Well, I suppose happy endings don’t go to the persons who deserve them any more (I’m not saying Kuu doesn’t deserve one though).

Overall, this show wasn’t exactly one of the best I’ve ever seen but it surely won’t be forgotten. Why? It was just flat out random and weird. What about the plot? It was likable but not that great. Most of all, I had a lot of fun watching this show and it surely has a place in my heart somewhere for being the most random and hilarious anime of its kind.
