About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a brutal, thought-provoking sci‑fi finale that mixes giant battles with heavy psychological themes, especially after the series or alongside Ghost in the Shell; Not for you if you want clear answers or a comforting ride.
Pros: intense end-of-world stakes; striking, memorable imagery; big action set pieces | Cons: very confusing at times; emotionally punishing tone; requires series context
