Who found this episode to be extremely rushed and poor compared to every other episode? Compared to every other episode, this episode was BAD. There are still many plot holes, the final battle between Ryuko and Ragyo felt rushed as fuck, Rei randomly vanishes and I feel they focused too much on the MakoXIra shipping than actually concluding it. I know the OVA is apparently going to be the true epilogue, but this episode felt rushed as fuck.
Also they never actually killed the bad guys. Nui and Ragyo basically offed themselves off, Ragyos death reminds me of Senator Armstrongs death from Metal Gear Rising, which is incredibly disappointing as we've waited so long for them to get their just desserts.
Honestly, I expected a bit more. Episode 23 was fucking amazing, this one was kind of a let down.
It might just be me....
I guess I can say, I'm glad they didn't pull a fucking Gainax ending...but maybe they are saving it for the OVA...
