Making readers think and having many interpretation possible are features, not bug.

Hmm, I think I would've been fine with this final ep if the end image had been "To be continued".
But as it is, it feels like the makers decided on a happy ending, threw in some bits and pieces and hoped the viewers came to a conclusion that would make sense of it all. And yes, with a lot of 'if's' and 'maybe's' some people manage to come up with theories that make some sense. But after all we've been through with these characters, I feel we deserve more than 'we'll leave it up to your imagination / speculation to fill the gaps' . |

The ending was soo predictable..... and yelling louder powerups are in full swing lol. (i feel bad for the VA's must have been pretty taxing on their vocals).
Found myself disliking the ending... (skimmed through the last half of the episode...) Spoiler for ending:

Miraluka, what's all those writing means? (In general off course, no need to translate every sentence ^^
by abuse, do you mean the amount of "SAMPLE" on it? btw, a few pages ago, there is someone who post about speculation that Yuna is still fighting. Here is a very detailed explanation about it: http://www.reddit.com/r/anime/commen...de_aru_ending/ I personally like this version in general, though I hope they're wrong about her not getting her sense of taste back

I'm curretly rewatching the whole series (not in marathon though, maybe 1-2 episodes a day) then it just dawn on me that Itsuki, the vulnerable weak looking imouto is the most coolheaded, & emotionally stable character in this generation of heroes D:. She never had a mental breakdown & always had a clear goal about what she has to do. She is not a genious like Tougo though ... if she did I have no doubt that she might become the party's strategist.

Here is more:
A guy from the staff leaked some information about the setting on his blog. Said post just got deleted from the blog actually. YuYuYu is inspired by a chapter in the oldest Japanese written document, the Kojiki. The story goes as follows: A long time time ago, Amaterasu, the great God of the skies, believing that he should preside over the land realms too, demanded that Ookuni-nushi, the great God of the land, handed over the land of Izumo, over which Ookuni-nushi presided, to one of his descendants. Ookuni-nushi accepted on the condition that a great palace worthy of the heavenly gods was erected to him. This palace is an actual shrine in Japan called the great Izumo shrine, or Izumo-Taisha. This much is actual Japanese myth. The rest is his account of the YuYuYu storyline. Also, at this point he says that instead of referring to Ookuni-nushi and Amaterasu he'll simply write Gods of the land and Gods of heaven. 2015 A.D. - The gods of heaven seeing how mankind has prospered, decide that they have to purge them because they are growing impudent. They send the Vertexes to do execute that task. The gods of the land sided with mankind and took the form of Shinju-sama. 2018 A.D. - Vertexes invade Shikoku. Some humans are granted the power of Shinju-sama. The first heroes appear. The following year, mankind has managed to repel the vertexes, but they barely have any defenses left. They get the Vertexes to stop the attacks on the condition that they never leave that land. (T/N:It's not made clear who laid down these terms for them.) I'll omit things that aren't really new. 2023 A.D. - Taisha and the Gorvenment establish a new system. The Anno Domini era ends. The following year is year 1 of the era of the gods. The era of worshiping Shinju begins. 298 - The events of WaSuYu take place. Because of Gin's death, Taisha requests Shinju to make it so that they don't have to die. Shinju gives them faeries and starts demanding body parts as offerings. The new Yuusha system is born. The final battle at the bridge happens. Taisha increases the scale of the Yuusha system. They take almost 100 people with good compatibility and station them in groups of 4 and 5 along the coastline. Yuuna's parents are healthy, even if they aren't even mentioned in the anime. It seems Yuuna learned flower pressing from her mother and martial arts from her father. There is one type of vertex for each one of the 88 constellations. _____ 88? That's insane. |

I wonder if some of the information ended up revised away during production because some of it does contradict what's written in the LN or shown in the series.

Despite the quoted line, and what Fu said in ep2, it appears that Taisha always and only planned for Fu's team to fight. I can buy that they didn't mention that to her for some reason though. Quote:

Some parts aren't well translated, I think. Fuu's parents worked for Taisha, the couple died during the last battle from the prequel. I guess they were protecting their daughters from such fate and when both died Taisha jumped to take that chance and recruit Fuu. |

What would be needed for a show with a proper ambiguous ending would be scenes which are unclear. Where the viewer is shown something symbolic or weird which doesn't seem to belong. But I can't remember any of these scenes. There is nothing to _interpret_ (as in taking something shown which doesn't seem to make sense and trying to explain it). Yes, you can still _speculate_ (as in trying to fill in the gaps, but with no factual basis from the material to relate it with) The show _completely sidestepped_ any relevant resolution to most of the issues it raised, and the few ones it did (like Togo's motivation for her action) were exceptionally unsatisfactory to me, since they directly contradicted earlier statements. Yes, maybe I would feel more lenient with the show if I had extra knowledge from game or LN, but I didn't, and I can assure you that I won't seek them. The anime has to stand on its own legs. Quote:
