It is personal opinion and all, but I liked it - not mind blowing but satisfying enough... it started with lies to make one happy, and ended with lies making one happy - although Ruby seems to be living with lies with some depth born from love whereas Ai lied to find love and tried to love in that deception.
Kana seems to have to find peace in her regret and probably processes it through her acting like how she used her mother.
Ruby did what her mother couldn't which is bitter sweet but a dream was realised, in multiple ways if one wants to intepret the brighter stars as her playing to her intended audience.
Overall, satisfied with the conclusion as I can try to fill in the blanks on my own with my own narrative based off what the series showed what the characters are capable of and it brings to an end the journey of follow them
Yeah, I don't particularly mind this ending either. I mean, yeah, it's rushed, but it's far from the worst endings I have seen. Out of curiosity I went and checked out the reddit discussion thread for the end, and you would think Aka was the stalker that killed all their parents or something.
Yeah, seems Reddit has a different take, ranging from rage to dissapointed....mmmm, I guess you could say it is a real life version of the pressure of the media where you have people who look to find deeper meaning in a work and you have others who take a more surface look or react emotionally with them comparing the work to others that left them disappointed.
Almost like Love Today or Tokyo Blade
Shows you why Aqua decided to try bury all his family trouble with him
All I can think of is people carrying expectation from Aka's other work and how his earlier stories proverbially poisoned the well so to speak - as there seems there is a feeling of Aka not being able to "end a series".
Cannot help but think of the Manga artist scenes at the start of the play arc and how it is re-enacting it self out.
People loved the characters and are probably dissappointed in not receiving the payout they felt they deserved or expected from the personal investment in the story.
I say fair enough, hope no one takes it too far then the show becomes too real, but I have to try accept that not everything clicks with people like same way things do not click with me
