Best show this year. The direction is very much not done according to the usual anime style. Feels more like a live-action film which combined with the score gives it a very cinematic style
How come I couldn't find a raw for ep 24 yet?
nm found it.
19-22 were awesome. Bandai better get to releasing the DVDs. Those bastards had the rights before FC even aired!
Thoma is obviously soran. Can't wait to see him go super saiyan and reborn with white hair. :lol
His love for Tina must've somehow guided his soul to her. Helga said she's waiting for soran and that to her tina is dead, interesting that he's showing just now that things are heating up.

Man, I figured out that
a long time ago. But now,
Gherta was Mel
I'm wondering about Paruza. He's apparently still alive, as we can see from his body. It seems to me that the only person he could possibly be is Cooks, though there hasn't really been a whole lot that has linked Cooks specifically to either Paruza or Mel at this point. But he's pretty much the only other major male character, and he just so happens to be right where it seems hell is about to break loose, so it doesn't seem like there are many other options.
Also, assuming Thoma is Soran, doesn't it seem like it would make sense for Sesu to be around somewhere too? Maybe he's Chitto (it would be very odd, but it would make sense in a way being that he was the one watching over Helga first before Thoma got himself involved).
Wow, Grave of the Fireflies ending. Great show, totally awesome episode in all.
Please do NOT read before watching it, for your own sake.

Love how Sesu met up with Tina later in life. They didn't really know how they knew eachother but the power of love provails. Like how Soran actually stood aside and let Sesu get a chance to meet Tina. Also the whole live happily ever after feel of the ep was just perfect, got a lump in my throat a couple of times.

Anyway, it was a great series. Only one thing really bothers me, though...
Cooks' character was basically useless. The way he was manipulated by Dumas earlier on, the obsession with Gherta and the Befort's Children, and even his appearance are all pretty strong signs that he is Paruza, yet they never went anywhere with it. His character just had no real significance at all and sort of just got ignored there in the end.
Other than that oversight, though, excellent end to an excellent series. Now we need info on the US release, Bandai.
Loved the ending, which is rare for an anime.
I thought everybody will forget everything about Girishia permanently though? When helga met soran, she remembered 'tina' when she saw the markings on his arm. It's so sad the scientists decided to stay on earth and lose their memories. And to think the only one who would return (hisuma) is dead. :'(

I actually felt his role in the anime was to introduce us to the universe, get us to know about the mysteriousness of it all and leave us wondering, just as he was. Sure, he should've had a bigger role, maybe we could see him realizing the stuff that's going on around him and help the main characters in some insignificant way, like Tina sprains her ankle at some point and he helps her or something symbolic, just to show that he had a purpose after all. So yes, he should've had a bigger role, atleast at the end.
