This final episode is fucked up big time. It’s wayyyyy more intense and emotional in the VN.

- There’s are no Frau’s stupid comments to ruin the atomsphere.

- When Nae’s squad arrives at the control tower, they find that all the commandos have been suicided. They also find Aki’s father. Yes, Misaki didn’t release her father earlier like the anime.

- Sawada has previously told Kai that they will find a way to eliminate Kimijima. In Daru’s last entry on the Twipo, he said he’ll do anything for the sake of his wife and daughter. Like the DG297, the virus AR missile is also a product of Daru. When Kai is battling the KAMINAGI, Sawada personally comunicates with Kai and transfers the virus to him.

- When Misa-nee regains control due to her pride and charges Kai, he intentionally gets hit by Misaki(how brave!) so he can use his slow-mo to strike her in blank point. But when time flows again, Misaki releases the blade in the last moment and jumps backward. As the KAMINAGI jumps further away, Kai suddenly remembers Doc has said that he can launch the pile bunker, but it’s a one-shot attack and won’t be able to fight after that. Without any hesitation, he urges Aki to use the Noah AGAIN, in great pain he shouts “GUNVARREL ANKH STRIKERRR!” and launches the pile bunker – it directly hits the hatch of KAMINAGI in the midair. As the KAMINAGI falls, Kai comments that as its monitor is built into the hatch, Misaki has to open it if she wants to continue the fight, in turn exposing Kimijima to their virus. And so he does. Kai uses his slow-mo a final time to capture Kimijima’s flashing ghost and fires the AR missile. While still in slowtime, a completely silent world, Kai is sure that he saw Misa-nee smiled and said “Thank you”. The missile hits Kimijima, the virus spreads across the Iruo network and eats him away quickly. Misaki faints, with a piano BGM(that BGM in the anime sucks), the shattering Kimijima appears to give his final warning.

- Aki doesn’t have her stupid, out of place speech to Misa-nee in the VN.

- The look and tone of Kimijima are more sinister in the VN. His face is so twisted that you can’t possibly tell whether he’s smiling or crying most of the time, whereas in the anime, he’s just your average bishounen. They even omitted the fact that he killed Airi’s parent for his own amusement and a way to control Airi in ep 21. A true mad scientist like Norose.

- They dare to make that shit in the final scene without revealing Kai’s dream in the previous episodes. And the fact that he won’t be able to become an astronaut due to his medical condition.

I hate Hanada. Chiyomaru should never let Hanada handling the adaptations ever again. If this adaptation can stay faithfully to its original material, I will give it a 8. But given the limited 22 episodes, I think I can still give it a 7 if nothing gone wrong. Now with Hanada's meddling it's a 6 for me. Sad.

These past few eps were disappointing imo.

They took like 15+ eps to build up the plot (and they did a good job at it) but when the conclusion came, I dunno. It felt lacking. Maybe I was expecting a bit more than what I got.

Then again, there's still one ep left. I hope it will be a good one.



[size=9]also that confession came out of nowhere[/h]

I didn't notice it, but I'll just go ahead and assume it was Adachiko.

Anyway, as expected of Moritani! She blows things out of proportion once again! I do wonder what mom's "companion" was thinking about that creeped out Kotoura.
