YOU didn't like it, fine. We got it, around by the 19th time you told us. I'm in the VN crowd too, and I have no problem with the change....

Aw come on, wishing them financial harm is the epitome of a childish reaction.

If you really have such qualms with an adjusted ending, which happens to be entirely in the mood of the show and also...

Sorry guys. All I can say that with the way it was concluded, and after reading through the script, it was a nasty rude surprise, but an absolutely fitting ending.

For those who are mad as hell...

You know what's truly macabre?

The last thought of Reiji was that he wanted to give Elen her laughter back (the ditzy pseudo-laughter as his sister doesn't count). Then, Reiji gets shot and...

BeeTrain/Nitro+ will have known right from the start that this kind of ending will leave almost everyone unhappy. So I've got to give them some kudos for having the guts to pull...

The "she wouldn't have listened anyway" didn't happen in the anime either.

Well, feel free to believe that, but I'm not so sure. If she didn't care, why did Cal react the way she did in the end? Besides, she believed it just alright in the other paths...

Well, then Wikipedia is wrong, too. Happens, you know.

Based on the situation, it's pretty clear that Cal will NOT target them in the future anymore. It's her gruff way to say goodbye. Also, it's...

TJR: Er, what?

Unless my memory totally fails me, your summary of the Mio path is strongly misleading. First of all, it's clear that Cal will _not_ pursue her revenge part any longer. Also, Reiji...
