EPISODE REVIEWS

I appreciate that this is the one episode of the series that has full color, as the majority of the "threat" has been resolved, and Boogiepop is just resolving the last loose ends (even if it means Toya isn't going to do well on her entrance exam.) I also appreciate the implication that everyone might be going their separate ways, though Nagi might be watching Toya.

Un episodio de cierre que no explica realmente todo lo que ocurrió, sino que sirve como un epilogo de los eventos y en donde los personajes pueden seguir adelante con sus vidas. Además de cerrar el misterio alrededor de Ichiro Kishida. No es un final completamente claro, pero sirve para este anime en particular. Un anime que durante todos los episodios se expresó a través de símbolos e ideas. No es un anime para todo el mundo, no se lo recomendaría a alguien que prefiere explicaciones directas y una narración lineal y efectiva de la trama. Pero sirve como anime de nicho y de culto que trata temas filosóficos e existenciales acerca de la memoria y la nostalgia.

A confusing ending to a confusing experience. This episode felt incredibly mundane and anticlimactic for a finale. It was a total change of pace, with a sense of having missed something, even at the end. Perhaps better on a rewatch, but certainly not a show for most people.
