I really liked the final images at the very end of the episode, after the credits. Specifically the image of the cross-shaped weapon (I can't remember the name) as kind of a ruin in the restored Earth. For me, that made the ending incredible--it gave off a message of hope, but still left things open ended. It showed that Terra was able to revive itself, so from that I can assume that the humans and Mu were able to work things out as well. The story wasn't tired out with a definite conclusion.

The series as a whole was truly epic and despite the discrepancies and predictabilities of the final episode I could not see it or really wished that it would in any other way. A truly emotional series, and that is a hard thing coming from animes these days. I'll definitely have to put this in the archives. Thanks for the blog and for putting me on to the series. I look forward to the next. In truth I only looked at this series because of the recommendation from this blog and I must say that I am GLAD I picked it up.

Wished I had known about this anime earlier, it truly doesn't get its widespread recognition and love it so deserves! However, contrary to the reviewer and some of the comments here, I found this last episode to be the MOST stunning of them all. Episode 22- Matsura's death, well, I thought he had to die somehow. His death didn't surprise me. However, killing off Jomy, our main character really surprised me. Up to the very end I was hoping he lived somehow and continued. I didn't feel at all that his time was over. I found it much more emotional and touching than episodes 21/22. Overall, despite the differences, I love this anime to bits. I love the main character, Jomy, and of course, I love our psgels, for reviewing this fabulous anime so clueless people like me have a chance of finding such a massive GEM!

All I can say is I am incredibly glad you rated this 90+, so I encountered the anime. Just amazing. It was tragic - but it didn't make me cry.

It's a really great manga, even if it's not known by many people. I haven't read the manga, but the anime ending was also pretty sad. (Unfortunally I only got the last three episodes in french, so some people wondered why I was sitting before my computer crying my eyes out while holding a dictionary.) I saw the last episode today.

The last few episodes had to be watched with a box of tissues at my side. Even the site of the earth at the end made me bawl again. ^^; Sure, sometimes it was cheesy, sometimes it was a little too blunt with its message, but this story has all the elements of an epic myth--no wonder it's being retold again, all these years later. Thank you for blogging. I loved this show! I finally watched this series, mostly because you kept posting about it. ;)

I like how Keith managed to bring himself together and NOT shoot Jomy like he did in manga (ARGHHGHGHHH)... I didn't quite buying that Jomy would get killed by that sword (even though it does seem to have got his spine)... it seems that he simply chose to just fall asleep and let Terra take his life. However, I like the part where he hands over the headgear to Tony. It was pretty sad in the manga that Tony and the other children have to leave, and I really like how he is now in realization and is protecting everyone else. The ending is not a happy ending, but it's indeed much happier than the manga's ending. The Mu and Human will help each other out from now... and that should be what we all want to see ^^ Personally, I like the anime much more than manga (even though I did bought them, WITH TAKEMIYA KEIKO'S SIGNATURE and my name on every volume I think the ending is very well done… well, I stopped watching after episode 17 because I want to watch the rest all at one go (which I did, watched 18-24 about 10 hours after I got them downloaded)

It was well done, but again the show had such highs it was hard to top it all. Overall the whole show as excellent and will remain one of my favorites. Thanks so much for blogging it. I also don't think Gundam 00 can live up to Terra E... I think Sunrise will go with the proven forumla as usual. They have dvd and figures to sale. The ending is HARDLY disgraceful.
