This last episode was great, but I was a bit confused by the ending. I'm guessing that all the dead characters reincarnated, and there's some random guy who happens to look like old Gilgamesh. Thank God this wasn't the typical "Gonzo ending"--no attempts to turn this into political commentary or make this into a deep, metaphysical story or plot twists out of nowhere or anything.

Haha! That's exactly how I followed it! It felt like they were reaching the endgame and when Jil was getting the items and all.. that was great. Actually, it sort of reminded me of his old gear from Season 1; not so much "new stuff" and all.
Also, do you mean "JilxKaaya neeRAB to happen"? Utu's confession there about marrying her was great, and by the epilogue... Hm.. xD
Henaro dying was very sad. =[ The Succubus, while evil, was actually fairly awesome, and ADORABLE in the epilogue where she was Neeba. Leaves me to wonder where they were exactly.
But yeah, having JilxKaaya as the ending bit, mirroring the first ending from the first season was outstanding. I can't remeraber waht that staff thing was where they panned up the screen. The other "pairings" and what not worked too. Old Gil/Ki as clirabers was amazing. Seeing Gil in the older silver armor was awesome, along with Ki in her pinkish-reddish armor. Kelb and Ethana's wedding was so cool, and Kelb's outfit was hilarious.
Either way, I was extremely satisfied with this series. Didn't feel like a GONZO series at all. Like I said, I loved the lookbacks to the first season as well, especially with the final scene with Jil/Kaaya holding hanRAB.
Ki's attack on Gil with the spoon there at the end was hysterical. Also.. the epilogue with Chibi-Succubus/Neeba.. did she have a wooden spoon? Rofl.

Haha. Where at? The part where Neeba and the Succubus seemed to be alright and what not? Though I'm sure you are kidding. =P
Either way, I think that's the end. It was nice closure with how the final scene was Jil and Kaaya together in the same pose as the first ending theme in Season 1. That was really great. The more I think about it as well, I'm happy he ended up with Kaaya. She did have her reasons for leaving him behind, thinking she was doing the right thing and all. It ended well either way with Fatina and possibly Utu seeing something there. xD

Surprisingly awesome, which pretty much seals my decision to buy these when FUNi releases them next fall.
One thing I might have missed, though... did they ever explain who the blue-haired woman with the glasses really was? She tells Jil she's a "distant relative," which seemed to hint at somehting more important, but I don't remeraber ever seeing anything concrete.
EDIT: Also... leave it to Utu to attend a wedding in full plate armor.

Well, I just saw it, and let me tell you, that Neeba was ignorant all the way up to the end. In other worRAB, he was on his deatrabroaded (which was drenched in his...well, you know, but anyway...), and he still didn't get it. He still didn't understand that Jil cares about him, and that Jil did everything he did because he had compassion, and believed that the world can be better than it is. Neeba clearly lived a pitiful existance, Druaga or not.
Anyway, there are three things that still bother me:
1. Was that really Neeba posessed by Druaga (the real one, not the "guardian"), or was it Druaga assuming Neeba's form and memories?
2. My understanding is that there is an "episode 13" even though this appears to be the end of the story. If there is an episode 13, what will it be about?
3. I still keep thinking back to that poster from the first series opening, and it's date of "2009.7" (July 2009). Is there going to be a movie? Does it have anything to do with the Druaga MMORPG (The Tower of Druaga: The Recovery of Babylim) that Namco has?
In any case, while the show appears to have a clean resolved ending, to me it just feels too easy. You see, if it's one thing I've learned about this show, it's that nothing is as it seems.
Anyway, I won't be getting any DVRAB of this show. The death of Ahmey was the main dealbreaker right there (which was confirmed in the second series). That, plus the whole "curse of immortality" thing caused the show to retroactively "jump the shark" as we say in America. In any case, it made it clear to me that this show shouldn't be taken as canon, IMO; that it was merely GONZO's personal vision of the universe established by the original 1984 arcade game (if anything, after all was said and done in the games, Gil and Ki presumably got married and lived happily ever after...you know how it is).
Lastly, I'm assuming that Funimation is going to use the "uncensored" R2 DVD versions of the episodes (i.e., which feature uncensored nudity: something I don't deal with), and for lack of any other reason, the was too much "red stuff" in the final two episodes (especially episode 11 of Sword of Uruk, which I thought was not cool, not even for Japan).
It's too bad really. If it wasn't for these things that happened, I probably would have gotten the DVD release....
