And so, it ended.
It did feel a little rushed, I wished some bits had been explained better, but I suppose the DVD additional scenes will make up for that.
Because of the short amount of time, the director needed to focus on the ritual passge of power between Jomy and Tony, which was a very emotional moment, probably more emotional than Jomy's death itself.
As I have always been more of a Terran-side supporter than a Mu fan, it was a little tough for me to see the most of attention centred on the Mu people, but since they have always been at the core of the staff's attention, and, arguably, of Takemiya sensei's as well, it's just my personal bias -wanted Keith to be not *so* desperately alone in his death...at least he said he could now meet Matsuka without feeling guilty ^_^-ah rabu-rabu-
Murdoch was wonderful ç_____ç. The Terrans were rightfully shocked after learning of the SD System's true intentions, and Murdoch's sacrifice wasn't in vain^^.
I was curious to see who would have inherited Keith's powers, but that was left to our imagination, even though I think Serge is the one destined for that.
The old Mu choosing to die to give a future to the Terran children was one of my favourite scenes.It bristled with hope, and hope was also Jomy's last word, and the concept the whole story was founded on ^_^. Now I'm hoping for the added scenes in the DVD to highlight Keith's and Jomy's death scene better, even though it's already really powerful, imho, and to show a little of wha happens to the Terrans after GMother's defeat ^^.
That said, thank you Osamu Yamasaki-san, thank you to the staff, and to all of the cast who infused their passion in this anime. Keith, Matsuka, Sam, Shiroe, Blue, Physis, Jomy and Tony...being able to meet you once again in anime form was a wonderful gift.
And now, give me us a good Kaze to Ki anime adaptation *____*.
