That said, this episode was terrible, hahaha. They were trying much too hard to get an emotional reaction out of the audience, and they just poured it on way too thick for me to even take it seriously. Not to mention, the scale of everything blew so far out of proportion I was just like "okay, sure, if you say so, show." I mean, it had hinted at larger things, but nothing near this scale. I mean, we were almost approaching Gurren Lagann territory, and that entire show was building towards that finale. This didn't earn that kind of gravity.
Also, apparently being only a concept, not existing in the other universes, and being basically forgotten means everyone everywhere is thinking about your name all of the time.
RIBBONS.
Eh, it was still an enjoyable watch, if only because it was at least something different. I much more enjoyed the mystery surrounding things like Kyubey, Homura, and the consequences of actions. It's too bad the ending had to get overly sentimental. I would have much preferred the series to end on a down note, but whatever. I had fun.
Homura was my favorite from the start, and she was my favorite at the end. Man, I know myself too well.
