I just started this show until episode 4. Really awesome. Seems the contractors all have OCD.

The art and episode format reminds me of Ghost Hunt.

LOL-ed at episode 22. Truly a "Kucing Pun Boleh" moment.

The elites here prefer slice of bread anime with yuri/loli undertones like Lucky Star and Minami-ke whereas the others like over 9000 shows like naruto and bleach.

I love this anime to bits, but I don't quite get the whole point though  tongue.gif Same goes with Wolf's Rain which is also by the same studio - complicated yet it captures my attention, but in the end I still asked the same question: "So... what's the anime trying to say again?"

You see...

Don't quite get them.

The only BONES anime I watched and understood was Ouran. LOL

Having said that, I love all BONES animes though. Their plot and story style totally pawn most animes I've watched (not like I watched a lot anyway). Even though out of the 3, I didn't quite get 2.

Hei was given a choice ala Evangelion. Choose the humans, let the beam fire and all Contractors on earth will disappear. He's not a Contractor so he won't be affected and continue living amongst humans. Choose the Contractors, intervene with the gate particle beam to cause the same effect as the Gate of Heaven, where the whole of Japan will disappear from the world and as hinted by Amber it actually still will exist in another dimension.

Hei ended up choosing the "worse" choice which is to choose both Contractors and Humans. So everything is status quo. Japan is still around and so are the Contractors. Everything that Pandora worked for is for naught, same as for Amber. Your question on what is achieved? Probably nothing for now. Probably tells us that being human, our decisions and thoughts aren't so rational, calculating and cold, like a Contractor, and at the same time, do not be "too human" that you fear and ocstrasize others who are different from you.

I haven't watched Wolf's Rain so can't help you with that.

Thank you wolfx! That made a lot of sense, lol. I didn't quite get the essence like you did. Thanks for pointing that out.  biggrin.gif

I'm glad it made sense to you because this is just my personal interpretation. Feel free to re-watch and make your own conclusions. wink.gif
IMHO this kinda ending is not as screwed up as some anime that leaves you guessing. This one kinda gives u all the answers already but its more for you to get the ending. For example Rahxephon i feel was kinda screwed up and there's alot of conflicting theories about it. For DTB though, its either you get it or you don't.

I like Eureka 7 too and though I was happy with the overall ending, I wasn't very happy on what they did to Eureka and Renton. They deserved better than
