Summer Time Rendering: Episode 25

Current Episode Score: 9

That is 100% how I expected that to go, and man I am so happy that it did. Once you correct the original issue, the whale, you get to move into a brand new timeline that is not corrupted by that issue. And so many things will change naturally. Shinpei’s parents don’t pass away, because the shadow isn’t in the cave to kill them. Ryuunosuke never dies because Haine isn’t there to kill him. Nezu doesn’t loose an eye because he doesn’t fight the shadow. So many things end up changing due to correcting the original issue that caused everything. And because this is a story of parallel worlds and not true time travel, you avoid the grandfather paradox, kinda. Like it will always be messy when you talk time travel, parallel worlds, and paradoxes. But I think it is as clean as you could get it. And it gives you such a good and satisfying ending.

Like they had no other way you could end this story besides this. If you want to give the characters a happy ending, this is how it has to be. And sure you could say it erased some character development they had over the 3 days dealing with Haine and Shide. But for the main 2 of Shinpei and Ushio, it seems they have remembered at least some of the events that happened, and would have regained some of that development.

Side note, I’m really hoping that Mio finally said yes to Sou and decided to go out with him. And I’m also figured that Shinpei and Ushio are essentially dating in the end now.

Honesty I loved this show. And I have pretty much no complaints. Outside of maybe still questioning what the whale was originally, like we know what it was in a vague sense. But still no actual complete answers. But I don’t think I’m gonna complain too much about that.
