(+) Yeah! (+)

Less than forty minutes away! I hope they can wrap this all up in a nice little bow in ~22 minutes.

Do you think Jack and Ashi will get married?

It's gonna be rushed as fuck. I feel they forgot they only had ten episodes this season until last week's episode, and now they're having to rush basically the entirety of the plot into two episodes.
---

I've been kinda shitting on the show for the past three weeks but I do really hope it has a good ending. I doubt it will, though.

No idea. I'm gonna say no.

Yeah that's kinda the vibe I felt. I hope not though.

Two minutes! Here we go!

I'm a little bit apprehensive about just how much they have to fit into this episode

I'm just here for the salt

lolwut

The opening!
---

Interesting.
---

*flips table*
---

Love that old opening with the twist lol
---

Wow...
---

That was really really good. A bold decision there with Ashi.

That ending...actually made me shed a tear.
---

Rushed. As. Fuck.

Also fuck yeah Ashi died like the shitty character she was.
---

Yeah, the ending felt kind of rushed to me
---

Yeah, I won't say it was not rushed, but it was still good nonetheless.
---

JACK! I can't exist without Aku... *fades away before getting married in jack's arms*

I don't think I ever laughed as hard at how trolly that was.
---

after so long
---

;_;

I really enjoyed that episode!

Sadly it is finally over, but it was a good ride...

Pretty ridiculous how that was dragged out for a melodramatic scene. She should have disappeared the moment he died

Yeah it really didn't make any sense for her to exist that long.

did anyone not expect this ending lol
i called gainax ending right as the wedding began lmao

I was thinking it as soon as she warped Jack back to the past, I didn't expect the whole wedding and everything too
---

I was pretty mad Ashi had Aku's powers, but I guess that explains why she solo'd an entire army. I remember people were super pissed off about that.

But she should've died as soon as the Aku skin suit was off when we saw her at the wedding, or whenever that suit ceased to exist.

I was expecting Aku to come back through her the most though at the wedding and boom more seasons or it all ends there with Jack killing Aku and Ashi dying as a result.

I really did like all of Jack's old masters coming back for the wedding. I REALLY liked that for some reason.

Samurai lagaann

Idunno how I feel right now tbh.

To be fair, maybe it takes time for temporal changes to affect people, like in Back to the Future

Yeah, this.

I don't like how Jack basically had all of his friends help him wipe themselves out of existence by altering the past. Like...I know it was their decision, but...wtf.
---

did they really do a Nia? ayyyyyyy
---

Also I wanted the guardian to come back. He was supposed to be triumphant on a horse like the god damned portal said.
---

They really should have stretched that out into two episodes.
---

Yeah they really dropped the ball with the Guardian thing. Like, Genndy has probably received thousands of emails over the years about that plot point and all we get is a broken pair of glasses.

I was disappointed by this. Otherwise it was a fine season and ending.
---

Honestly with all that Jack should have faded away too. Think about it. Current Jack is only the way he is because of Aku sending him into the future and all the things he did. If Aku was defeated in the past, Jack couldn't have done all those things, none of those memories would even exist anymore along with everything he did.

Not to mention other past Jack got thrown into an entirely different future.
---

I can't decide if I liked it or not. I liked the artistic aspect of it, but I'm honestly annoyed that they just couldn't give us the happy ending he deserved. Time has no affect on him...or does it now? Is he still immortal? We'll never know.

And how hard would it have been to say time travel had a similar affect on Ashi? Just have her be confused why she still exists, and then Jack say time has no affect on her. Bam, happy ending.

I really thought she was going to live, and have kids, and one of them be "dark." Aku may be dead, but evil will always exist.

Did they really pull a tengen toppa for the ending? lmfao
---

As soon as I saw Ashi and Jack getting ready for the wedding, I thought "Oh shit, they're gonna pull a Gurren Lagann. "

The episode was cool and all, but I'm a little sad Jack didn't get his happy ending. Shit's bittersweet, yo.

It's been so long

finally it's over

Damn, what a ride.

No it wasn't. It was rushed and terrible, as an ending. But it was the most entertaining episode.

Who actually thought they could squeeze out a good ending episode in 20 minutes? Avatar had its split into three episodes and even they almost ruined it.
---

I didn't like the ending >_> Ashi suddenly getting Aku's powers was so dumb and that Gurren Lagann ending I didn't liek either. Plus I was hoping he'd kill Aku in the future too before going back to the past.
---

I was pretty disappointed with how rushed it felt. My friend, on the other hand, is fucking livid over it.
---

how else did you expect it to go down?

-Jack is captured
-Aku broadcasts his death
-All of the people that Jack saved come to the rescue
-Jack has a reunion with old friends and fight Aku
-Jack goes back in time
-Jack defeats Aku
-Jack gets a happy ending, but not really

All under 22 minutes.

That's the issue. It would have benefited a lot more if this was a two-parter/an hour long.

When did Genndy start hanging out with Joss Whedon?
