The ending. Genuinely one of the most complete, earned finales in anime. Nothing is wasted. The bittersweet tone lands because the show built toward it properly. Simon's final form as a character is perfect. Grab tissues. You've been warned. Watch the full credits. Trust me. 😭

Calm, meaningful finale that doesn’t rush and leaves a strong lasting feeling. Simon chooses a simple, quiet path after all the chaos. It’s bittersweet but hopeful, showing real growth and the price they paid. No need for more explosions just peaceful resolution. Perfect way to end the journey.

I expected nothing less from Gainax. The animation for the climax is superb with great choreo and insane hand drawn vfx. The lore to tie everything up was also really nice, especially about the Anti Spiral. And that ending is definitely better than what I've imagined, bittersweet
