EPISODE REVIEWS

Destiny is fulfilled in an emotional finale: after the true nature of the gods is revealed, Touko decides to free the Flickering Flame. With peace restored, the protagonists take separate paths, ready to rebuild their world once again.

The finale ends on a nice, feel-good note, but it’s also a bit sad. It’s not shocking or anything big, but it wraps the story up well and doesn’t leave you confused. The animation is still probably the weakest part, but the writing saves it and makes it work anyway. It feels like a fitting conclusion that wraps things up nicely without going over the top.

For me it's so great that the final episode brings together all of the season's major revelations. We understood that the humans and gods have been interconnected; and how the divine clans were not all-powerful beings, but rather guardians of a system created to keep humanity alive. And after Touko's proposal and Akira's resolution, towards the end humanity begins to free itself from dependence on the gods and moves toward a new future.
