How can you establish a great premise just to make it into a fucking trash bin later on? Its like Toei hate this thing and has no plans at selling this shit at all. What were they thinking?

Welp, at least I got mad fujos and faggots

Muh edgy novel writer

As bad as this ended up being I still prefer a good premise going off the rails into absolute hilarity over it becoming boring and mundane as re:creators did.

They should just made zaShunina a girl

That would have made it even worse.

But at least it would sell. What they did is basically a financial suicide pissing both fujo and otaku fanbases

There are about 900 kgs before using NanosHein adding to the total of these posts

The ending was terrible but the visuals made it worth watching.

Considering the main issue was his fundamentally different mindset and perception, that wouldn't have changed anything.

Even as a girl it doesn't seem like the sort of show that would make otaku buy it. No action or fanservice to speak of in most of the show.

Keep in mind that zaShunina - the official main character and the real protagonist - was almost a male character with a clearly female voice. It was never supposed to be a crowd pleaser and the staff knew it. The fact that the novel is literally a House of Leaves tier mindscrew also says a lot about how experimental and out there the whole project was.

To be perfeclty honest, it was just a matter of time before that initially great sci-fi premise would get trashed. It's anime after all.
It was enjoyable for some time and I could think of dozen worse possible endings. Like you said, at the very least it did not pander to fujos.

Over 40 dimensions worth of mad

Would be interesting to hear that kind of voice out of a bishounen. I kind of wish they did go with that sort of mindscrew.

If Shindo planned to die anyway why didn't he just go with zaShunina so humanity could keep all the dope technology? zaShunina said he only needed Shindo after all.

They should have made him look and sound completely androgynous. His current design is obviously aimed at fangirls.

zaShunina's entire personality was collapsing under the emotional stress. Even if Shindo did agree to go with him then, it wouldn't have fixed the fundamental problem. He needed to be "rebooted", which was the reason for Yukika.

They ended up choosing the male VA because he supposedly nailed his different aspects better than the female VAs they had auditioned.
>Q: Mr. Terashima's vocal performance is stellar too.
>Murata: During the casting process, the emphasis was placed on intellectual tone and androgyny. Mr. Terashima's interpretation also added latent sensuality to him, which was the closest to the image of zaShunina we had as well.

Agree. The anisotropic child completely devolves the show into a gay/straight fight and it is tasteless

Why do we like to bully homos again?

It's not that simple. The final status of the main character is apparently the following:
>Shindo: dead as a human, ascended to the higher realm
>zaShunina: alive, anisotropically enlightened, ascended to the higher realm along with Shindo
>Yukika: alive, most likely in the higher realm with the other two
>Saraka: alive, stuck on Earth forever as she wanted
It's hard to say who got the best deal here.

*characters

Shindo managed to fuck over every single person in the show, including his daughter.
He wins by a huge margin.

>What is yuri on ice
Because they ruined our anime. Now anime is dead.

You could argue that zaShunina ultimately won the most, because Shindo gave him something all the other anisotropics can only dream about. He's now free of his info hunger and he can even find Shindo again if he wants to. From the long term perspective, he won the lottery.

They did us a favor.

Most homos despise Yuri on ice though. It's an anime targeted to fujo landwhales and those are the ones spamming it everywhere.

Oh come on...
The memories of that show were slowly fading away.
Now they're all fresh, and I have to forget it again.

>yfw it's officially a happy ending by the anisotropic standards
You just need the Sansa to expand your mind.

I really don't understand.

Saraka's goal was to get zaShunina and kado off of the planet earth because she felt that it was expanding and growing too quickly.
She went to Shindou first trying to explain that its a bad idea to keep him around.
After zaShunina does die a everything is back to as it was but the planet reverts to where a large percent of the planet is left without electricity again, people require sleep again so productivity is minimized, time moves at a single rate so crops cant be grown quickly to solve world hunger, lifting debris after earthquakes and natural disaster means people stay trapped underneath to suffocate etc.

Shindou was the best negotiator in japan and Saraka was #2, by killing him she would be number one.
Shindou is dead, their kid is technically dead since kado no longer exists and anything relating to higher dimensional existence than 3 would cease to function or exist.

Since Saraka was partly anisotropic, why didn't she tell shindou that the super suit plan wouldn't work in the first place because she entered kado barrier in the previous episode using the same means.

She didn't even know shindou for more than 5 months technically, why have a baby with him especially for the plan thinking that would make a higher dimensional offspring? Unless she also would know that the child she had raised by Hanamori in a pocket universe would grow purely as weapon would die as soon as zaShunina was finally dead, then Saraka would only return to being human instead of dying.

Were the paper cranes in the glass tank symbolism to mean this was all apart of her plan all along?

What did the giant crane that floated above Shindou's deathbed represent?

Was there any meaning to shindou's mother scene where she was carrying a bento?

There's a lot about the ending that doesn't make sense if you think about it more. Saraka's been living for billions of years as different animals, so she should have left tons of anisotropic species around too.

zaShunina is alive. You can't kill an anisotropic and killing him was never Shindo's intention, either. What he wanted to was to get zaShunina out of the obsession/depression spiral his newly gained emotions had locked him in and grant his deepest, most instinctual wish - perceptual overload. Shindo succeeded on both accounts.
Kado is just a mega-converter; the anisotropics don't need it to exist. Both Yukika and zaShunina are just disconnected from it now.

Saraka did know the armor most likely wouldn't work because Shindo told her that. But since it was a part of his plan and the outcome would remove zaShunina as a source of danger, she ultimately had to agree. And yes, she knew Yukika was mostly just a tool, but it was for the greater good and besides, the upgraded anisotropic existence is pretty good in its own way. Again, it was the lesser evil, so she had no choice but to agree.

As for the crane:
>Throughout Asia, the crane is a symbol of happiness and eternal youth. In Japan, the crane is one of the mystical or holy creatures (others include the dragon and the tortoise) and symbolizes good fortune and longevity because of its fabled life span of a thousand years.
zaShunina wished to make Shindo immortal, which ultimately happened. It was zaShunina's personal wish.

Shindo was a very special case, because zaShunina's tinkering had turned him into an anisotropic hybrid as well. He wasn't a normal Earth animal at all.

Don't forget Shinawa. She got her dream too.

If all it took was for Yukika to be an individual with the sense of both the anisotropic and the universe, why wouldn't "Shindo being an anisotropic hybrid" fulfill that?

>tfw you're a minor character but have an essential role in the finale and manage to get your life irrevocably screwed up and you still don't mind

What was his dream, Sup Forums?

To have an easy life. It came true, in a way.

No, the problem is that he started out fundamentally different and alien only to devolve into an archetypal yandere for most intents and purposes. All of his study on humanism was there for not a whole lot.
I do have to give credit that they made him simultaneously love and hate that he got NTR'd and they gave birth to a god-baby.

Yukika turned off the technology. The random people say the treasures no longer work and ask saraka if that was her doing. She replies saying she no longer had that ability so yukika did it.

>No, the problem is that he started out fundamentally different and alien only to devolve into an archetypal yandere for most intents and purposes. All of his study on humanism was there for not a whole lot.
That's not true all. He remained fundamentally alien with poorly integrated and overwhelmingly powerful human-like emotions, which he had no way to handle or even properly comprehend. His curiosity and eagerness to learn everything new turned out to be his fatal weakness, because he left himself completely open to foreign and ultimately harmful influences. Usually, fiction portrays the whole "want to become a real boy" as a good thing, because everything human is automatically familiar and good for us. But in this case, everything human was essentially a virus for him, incompatible and devastating for his very self.

>essential role is raising another man's son

>son

Was Yukika a trap all along?

Well she IS the ultimate being.

The anisotropics are genderless by nature and she's mostly anisotropic. So yeah, Yukika was part trap all along.
