I don't really have an issue with the "nothing has changed ending" if that was the ending. If the ending was really dark with Sybil still in control.
But instead we have this wishy washy ending with sybil in control and Akane saying but things will eventually change (except besides her words we don't really see any of that happening).
I think the series is trying to have it both ways which doesn't work for me.
I guess the ultimate message was change isn't going to happen by someone like Makishima or overthrowing the system, it can only happen slowly over time for it to work. But again Gen even left it pretty open whether Akane or the sybil system was right. So we are left with maybe it will change, maybe it won't.
