One of the better shows this season, it was certainly different and refreshing.

Lots of weird stuff that flashed by quickly in the sorta-normal world:

Tower of Babel by Breugel to the left

That other shorter squat tower with the crenellations and tall mast to the lower left of Babel looks familiar, but I can’t place it…

I’m not super familiar with it, but I’m almost certain there’s only one Sunshine City tower, not 6 of them

Sunshine City in Google Maps:

This street scene…

A real Starbucks in Ikebukuro, from Google Maps. No Romanesco broccoli trees, or mini Statue of Liberty, unfortunately

I have no idea where this is, but, it’s obviously been altered

If someone would tell me that this anime has armoured train space battle, I wouldn’t be able to imagine it.

The finale had really strong emotional resonance with the state I am in. Even if this wasn’t a masterpiece I enjoyed it more than other good shows that I have watched over the years.

P.S. They have made the map with all the stops on the journey

It was a fun trip from Agano to Ikebukuro, but unfortunately it’s over. Would like to have an extra episode to show the aftermath, since apparently not everything went back to normal.
