EPISODE REVIEWS
I thought this was a solid way to end the series. It brought together a lot of what the story had been building toward without making everything feel too perfect. The ending had a nice balance to it and felt fitting for the journey. Worth watching for a finale that gives a good conclusion while still keeping the feeling of the series.
A boring meaningless finale for a boring meaningless series. I'll give it a point for ending on the train just like it started because I do enjoy the circular nature of those kinds of endings. But to be honest the series lacks a purpose and emotional core for this ending to actually feel deserved. As I've said in a previous episode, it's a product of its time and I'm not particularly a fan of this kinds of old works.
I'm not gonna lie. This episode wrecked me. Nazca sacrificing himself was the most Nazca thing he could do. He's been carrying this grudge since his friend was mechanized, and he finally got to end it.This was a great series, man. A bit confusing at times, but the heart was there. The characters were solid. The ending was earned. Nazca went out like a legend. And Maetel is forever changed.
