I found this anime to be a pastiche of confusing unresolved narrative lines and poorly developed characters. Their motivations were sketchy at best and none of them were particularly engaging. The series didn't seem to be going anywhere until the final two episodes. At that point the creators must have felt they had to tie everything up in a neat climax. Unfortunately, all they accomplished was to produce two one-and-a-half hour each features that were almost nothing but talk, as they tried to explain all of the nonsense that went before. Those final three hours of blather did nothing but further waste the viewer's time.
