Every one of the characters return in some shape or form… they’re all going their separate ways and moving on… there were some odes to the past (Latrova’s words, Yuuya’s arrival, Yui’s first impressions)… and they even managed to slip in that epilogue bit that was based on the PV for the TE game too.Īll in all, there really is admittedly not much to say here in terms of the episode itself. Granted, some of the major threads still have question marks, but the bottom line is that this episode did feel like a finale. As we see now, it took a little bit of anime original modifications (at least, I believe it was, as I don’t think the Berkut was ever meant to show up at this point)… but they managed to do it. From what I’ve heard previously, this “terrorist arc” didn’t really have any openings for a proper conclusion, which in turn led many to wonder just exactly how the series would end. To say the least, the end result wasn’t particularly awesome (well, the action scenes were pretty good), but the fact of the matter is Total Eclipse’s finale ended up wrapping things up quite nicely. Yui and Yuuya combine together in some great action scenes to bring them back to their senses, the Infinities (with the help of VG and Stella) take down the laser class in order to free up the skies for American bombers… and all is fine and dandy.
We get Major Christopher’s plan to control the Scarlet Twins backfiring and leading to his own brutal death, which ultimately leads to the berserk rampage we were pretty much all expecting at this point. The way the previous episode ended and the fact that the source story itself is incomplete pretty much forced this finale to be straight forward, and it was.
Going into this episode, there admittedly wasn’t much room to maneuver in terms of what could’ve been done.
