What a shame, the America arc was good to the last ep until the call between Alex and the woman ended. I was on track to give it an 8 or 9/10. Then the rest of it happened and failed to resolve anything.
7/10 overall.

So can anyone explain what happened at the end? Zen "saved" Alex by killing him then he killed himself after?
Things I still want to know: so Ai is supposed to a master of disguise and master hypnotist? How is he able to control all of those people. What happened in Shiniki after? What did the world do after?

The implication is that the world eventually decides not to accept the suicide law otherwise Zen's action and Alex's sacrifice would have been meaningless. Unspecified power. Maybe it's supernatural, maybe there's supposed to be some kind pseudoscientific explanation. The story never cared to explain.

I know this will *never* happen but bear with me.
We know at the conclusion of episode 12 that Magasi has achieved a total victory. Now imagine this plot idea: We get a time skip to 2030. We find out in the interim, Magasi has used her 'geass' to get the suicide law enacted in all governments. She is eventually installed as Empress of the World, with her palace in Shiniki. Billions have committed suicide, reducing the world population by 50%. Magase is not stupid, she knows there will be dissenters. So she has created a 'personal guard' of sexy young women who she has trained to have the same 'abilities' as her, directly controlled by her. These Magasi clones are always on 'seek and destroy' missions against any dissenters to the New Order. However in the interim, cells of dissent of arisen called 'The Blade of ZS', after Zen Seizaki. Magase is now aware of this. What she doesn't know is a member of the elite, a Lelouch-type figure is actually in charge of 'The Blade of ZS' and is training all of them how to counter Magase & her clones' techniques. Thus an epic war ensues which ends up in her eventual defeat and restoration of sanity to the world. Anyone like this? |

A textbook example of what not to do with female characters. The cartoonishly evil femme fatale blamed for men lusting after her, the supportive housewives, and the cold, sexless career woman (far too edgy if her rank came from drive and talent rather than nepotism) give this show a huge Madonna Whore complex, with correspondingly dull male characters. Whose reaction to the policewoman's gory death seems the most important thing about it and her. The 'whataboutism' that changing views on other issues for good reason means changing views on suicide for no reason, the unaddressed intial idiocy of removing regulations that are there for good reason, a puerile analysis of Christian views on suicide, and a conclusion that would be the first paragraph of any summary on the philosophy of suicide... certainly not the best.
