>wow people seriously missed all the visual cues in that last slaine scene
I don't give a damn about visuals. If you really want a happy ending, show him happy and free rather than vague sad smile and symbolic birds after all the shit he went through which wasn't 'symbolic vague suffering'. They didn't do that. The show has no catharsis and that's why the nico rating is lower than the episode when Inaho and Asseylum got shot. The fanbase is pissed and the sales are rightfully tanking. You're domesticated to believe this was a happy ending for Slaine, because it wasn't. I was going to buy the whole show but now I cancelled my orders.
Who cares about the war, only a minority kept watching this show for muh war. Of course he wanted peace, but he wanted to bring it on his way and honestly, he deserved to win because Himechan was just a plot device with zero characterization who never struggled in her life and got all served on a silver platter. It doesn't matter if he's unhappy or miserable after winning or if Hime hates him, but at least that has some catharsis for the character than living on other two character's pity and compassion. Fuck that condescending ending. Inaho got it nearly as bad, his storyarc as character was dropped to become a plot device to "save Slaine" in the last episodes.
