Now that I think about it I realized I forgot how White died? Was she always sickly or did it have to deal with the event a few year ago?

Nah, that was just something she said to gently caress with Leo. Black even mentions at one point that she really should stop saying that to people. Besides, if that was the case Leo would need his eyes open just to see her.

jesus christ that episode is poo poo. i'm sure you could cobble a coherent theme out of it, but why bother when the anime did such a poo poo job of bringing it home? one of the most infuriating things to me is the sheer number of people saying they didn't understand what was going on in the episode, but they loved it anyway because of the music and animation also, how the hell was michella reading a letter when she can't see?

Yeah, the whole finale was just things happening because of other things with no real explanation as to why or how those things were related. Not to mention the core cast was barely involved. Regarding the framing letter, I recall some people asking about that during the first episode but I feel at least this episode explained it. Leo's writing for his own sake to get his thoughts down on paper. As for how Michella's reading it, the implication seems to be she's not blind in the traditional sense but has some means of knowing what the letter says anyway.

Well then, can we hope for another season (except, you know, REAL loving PLOT this time around?)

Saw the finale. Was OK, kinda sums up my thoughts on the show in as a whole; occasionally really loving cool, but I mostly didn't really get it. Shrug. Great music, tho.

tbh i was much happier with the funky episodic adventures than i was with the overarching plot, because the best parts of this show was when it really cut loose and channeled its energy into entertaining sequences basically I was most hype for this show when I thought it was going to be space dandy in new york city

Last episode was kind of a total mess, but it's not like it got pushed back for months because the writing and production was going smoothly so fair enough can't blame them for just pushing out whatever they could salvage in the end. Honestly the only thing I ever actually liked about the White/Blank storyline was White, and that remained true to the very end, I don't have much else to say about it. The whole thing always felt really out of place after reading the manga though, the wacky episodic stuff is the manga pretty much, the whole original storyline didn't fit in very well and the show would almost certainly have been better off not going there in the first place.

Zap talking about Klaus really getting into it isnt meant to be idle amusement, its meant to be quiet moment of "oh poo poo, he's actually getting into this  ." Klaus is basically of those characters that's going to be nice and polite to a fault, right up to the moment they arent.

Still sad we never got an adaptation of the chapter where Zap gets high on demon weed and his witch girlfriend forces him to track down her lost cat under penalty of having his junk explode while Chain drinks some underworld executive under the table. Meanwhile, across town, Stephen decides to host a classy dinner party for a few of his friends.

Probably for the best, I'm sure all the good jokes would have been squashed for more original plot.

BBB really didn't need an overarching plot. Should've just given everybody an episode to shine, Cowboy Bebop-style, then wrapped it up with a good ol' fashioned self-contained two-parter where some new threat engulfs the city and everybody has to work together to take it down.

I agree with everyone's sentiment that the anime totally squandered itself by trying to create the overarching plot that really didn't make all that much sense, and was pretty boring to boot. Should've just made every episode a one shot story with the occasional two parter for longer stories. Oh what could've been...

It's kinda fascinating watching the opinion swing on the anime-exclusive stuff. It probably doesn't seem that bad until you read/have read the manga, then it becomes blindingly apparent why half the thread didn't like it (White aside, her little end-episode vignettes with Leo were actually pretty good). The finale's also now up on AnimeLab if any Aussies are still waiting to watch it.
