I have to agree, and I couldn't imagine any anime director capable of doing a better job!

So, that ending. I grabbed this episode this morning before I set off to work as I couldn't wait, and my head is still fizzing.
Visually it was a stunning episode, completely electrifying and fabulous max!

Spoiler for Seizon Senryaku!:


I think what Ikuhara has created here is a show that people are still going to be talking about years in the future, discussing its symbolism and meaning.
Yes, there may be a few hanging threads, and yes, I do think that perhaps Mario was meant to play a larger role but got sidelined for time constraints, but sometimes it's better when things don't all get explained away in the end, but left to the imagination ("Imagine!") of the viewer, to read into them what they may.

One of the best shows this year, in my honest opinion.
