EPISODE 22
===========

Start off with a dragonfly on plybar again, i think we've seen that shot before
no i take it back, i dont remember the water tower
overlooking the city is the obelisk
okay, interesting language
lux = city of doom
that intersection looks like when Ichise first walks outside and crosses paths with the man
horde of people vs the shapes
ran stands protected by the shadow foxes
ran only can protect the city, nothing else is left
when she has the mask on she is acting as the city, its avatar, without it is her own choices? would need a rewatch for that
well done onishi, making shields vs the shapes
still get blown to pieces
the fact the shapes have faces is still disturbing as fuck
yep, things went to hell while they were up above
the shapes hold up the body of ran
the humans all reach for her as well, pointlessly, as if raising their hands to god
the music is fucking annoying, i now regret the dub choice
the king stood by the obelisk

darkness spreading from the hills as the lights go off, make sit look like clouds are dissapearing and revealing the sky but much the opposite
dragonfly flew off
many white masks in the water now, not black
they each hold a 'ran'
Myth title
NOW YOU REALIZE ONISHI FUCK YOURE SLOW
Ran wants onishi because he acknowledges her
god they just had to show his death again, fuck, brutal
distortion when he dies and ran takes the collateral, like the distortion of memories, of view, of the past
HOLY SHIT hes just disintegrated, fucking hell
that was nice CGI
pretty sure you guys are going to be the ones being torn apart
ichise regains control of himself
waits for ran, waits for the choice, fails to find it
lost it again, the distortion is back
he has lost his 'brain' his connection to rationality by losing ran, need to go back look at the spectacle episode again and see the connection there
see ichise knew who ran was, stupid onishi
oh, thats the docs place hes seeing
ran reforged a connection? an alternate obelisk, docs last gift to her son
distorted and red as he kills them all
oh look, its doc, called it
the merging of docs cells with ichise provided a conduit?
in the end doc achieved her dreams as well
the shapes have merged into the ground, like roots
dragonflies swarm all over the shapes connected to the ground, like a plauge
this dudes monolog is useless, we know all this
in the end the shapes have become passionless as well
ninth annex of the reviving hell, not dantes inferno, it doesnt match traitor circle, dead referance

kanos head up, rans mask, rans eyes in the view of the city, the mask is all thats left of her after her death but kano won't accept it
IS THAT A SMILE ON HIS FACE
THATS A SMILE ON HER FACE
she changed into a shape, static, death, because of him, but its what she willed
the music is beautiful as he approaches the theater
a grand audiance of shapes, more then ever
a new obelisk? wtf
thats kano
it grows, like the shapes grow, the construction was to protect it?
camera down near the seats, they look like houses, the whole thing is a stage with everyone looking onto the performance of the main cast
OH SHIT, he gave them shapes as hibernation
a coccoon, a primordial soup (hello NGE) to be reborn, like the spotlight on the obelisk
OH FUCK YOU FUCKING ****. HE TOOK HER HEAD. WTF (I edited this line, I said a bad word in my rage)
YEAH FUCKING KILL HIM ICHISE
he killed Kano's body, not his mind, not the core of the city so it could grow again
Ichise is all that remains of the darkness, all left in the city, sitting alone against a pillar, connection to Ran
Beautiful song, its Ran singing
Welp, I'm done, im crying, fuck
He gives her back to the city, to be reborn as raffia, his hope for her future
most on the nose song ever
ichise curled up in the fetal position
OH... come on, thats fucking mean
closes his eyes in peace, a single flower projected out in front of him
the last hope in the darkness, the hope for the cycle to repeat, the hope for rebirth so they can meet again
Wtf is this, (Okay this line I edited out because its meta spoilers for another show that killed my heart in a similar way, but if you want to know what it is, toss me a message or reply to me asking)


==========
Episode 21
===========

Oh, narration for the film from a couple of episodes ago. Thats nice.
failed to hide their internal monsters
"He" was born? he hated and loved the monster inside himself
with his second mother (doc) he rose (ichise) to the race who had driven away his people
this is definitely ichises story through and through
purgatory. PICK A MYTHOLOGY!
Puragtory is where mankind must be in its final moments?

opening sequences is the destroyed staircase, twisted and ruined along the walls, marking ichise's path down to Lux once again, stairs are his unique path
the information an animal requires exist in its enviroment, not ecology, wrong use of word ecology
ichise can hardly breathe, tex running low.
Encephalopathy, hello brain clinic
Theoria? What Kino calls Ran. She wont be his oracle.
See Ichise through the pillars at the bottom, just like Yoshi/Ran
everyone is dead on all the locations of the past
wont see the daylight ever again, the power has been turned off?
have to keep it daytime to keep the eyes from changing?
oh shit, he's dead, or at least dying, no more power worker
OH CRAP, all those dead people were in Gabe

People without Tex are celebrating
OH SHIT, thats the secretary, :( she's been raped and wants to die
Onishi comes to save her, legs not working
Ran is talking to Onishi, overseeing everything
And she's dead
Kano thinks he is her sister? a product of the city, one of its children?
manually travelling along the train tracks all alone.
a glow rises up from the city, raffia, the demons in the hearts
thrown into the abyss to be reincarnated as raffia flowers
Shapes have gone to crap? died out like the rest of the tex?
Red eyes in the clas? Yellow eyes for the city, Blue eyes for the above ground, the darker the eyes the more corrupted?
Shinji has absolutely lost his shit
Oh no please, leave shinji alone
Oh, this is all the city jade statues in this room in a circle
bunch of people connected in a circle with wires, in a pool, surrounded by the citys statues
okay, im lost
OH, and there it is, that's what I was expecting, dead Shiji
And then his assassin, the boy with no eyes, kills himself
Kano sits there with Ran's reflection behind him, but not herself in sight
Ran is being driven insane.
Kano wishes to become the brain of the city, to guide it, and others are unneeded.
Ran leavea a flower for Ichise at the train station
she turns and walks away from him while he desperately struggles again
sanity is subjective, no way to know if you are or arent sane

Ran fades away toward the obelisk guiding Ichise there
OH SHIT, Ran wants to die now? no, not cool
Wait... wait wait wait, is Ran the spirit of the obelisk in human form? Is she it's body so it can be among the city
OH HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHY IS IT BLEEDING
Oh, yep, and there goes Onishi as well. Everyones going to die
Ran is the obelisk
Jade statues are the city, overseeing the birth of humans like in tribal times
Kano's insanity spreads via his connection with Ran, he is dominant now, like how we only see Ran's reflection behind him
Walks down the rabbit hole like Yoshii, everything returns to the earth, down the stairs, no going back for Ichise
Hand powered machine on the railway tracks, this is a choice, only those with a choice are powerful, still human, both above and below ground
