The Journey's End

The way the show lets fifty years pass in a single cut. No dialogue, just the meteor shower again. I was not ready.

Episode 1 is basically the epilogue of a whole other anime, and somehow it works better than most finales.

Madhouse animating a hand reaching for a flower petal like it's a fight scene. The restraint is the flex.

Himmel choosing the flower field over the treasure tells you everything about him in four seconds.
