Gilgamesh!

<< < (32/39) > >>

Saya:
@shadowreaper: "Amor vincit omnia" ... what does that mean? "Love overcomes everything" or something like that? My Latin is really poor (never really learned it).

The final episode of Gilgamesh was just great! What a show down!  :o
But it kind of looked as if the producers had to hurry. Everything happens quite fast.

This is how I understand the last few scenes:
The world (and mankind) is destroyed because of the Cleansing Flood and TEAR (Hiroko-chan) plans a new pure world without emotions. But Kiyoko "survived" in that cocoon and kills TEAR, so the next world will be just like the last one.

Sorry if my post is kind of confusing. I probably shouldn't discuss stuff like that when I'm having a bad flu. *cough*

greenkabbage:
@saya: You say that Kiyoko survived in that cocoon, yet En Kidu specifically said that a new man kind will be born from it, basically making her part of the plan. But that's an interesting point. Completely seperate from that... how is Kiyoko/Eve going to reproduce?! Or maybe she is a <dum dum dumm> hermaphrodite... or an asexual being that can just divide itself... Limitless possibilities! :D
And yes, the ending was rushed again. I liked the way WR did it. The 26th ep was good enough, but then they topped it off with 4 more episodes! Hats off to the WR producers.

crypticgimp:
wait the reason she was in the cocoon was that she was pregnant, thats why she was key to the whole new human race...

Saya:
Oh, wait a minute!
I thought it all over again, and now I believe it was NOT Kiyoko in the end, it's her child!
Kiyoko and Tatsuya seem to be together in a kind of after life, and that child of Novem and Kiyoko somehow survived in that cocoon.
And that child is the "living" proof that Enkidu's plan failed because Novem really had feelings.
It kind of makes sense to me. The doctors said before that the embryo grew very fast, but I don't remember if it really was female.

But I don't think that Kiyoko (or her baby) were part of Enkidu's plan. I'd say the world will start again at the very begining, with bacteria or something.  :-/
So maybe that last scene took place on a spiritual level, not in the physical world.

Argh! The more I think about the ending the more confused I get! *sigh*

P.S.
Are the names of the Gilgamesh guys ever mentioned during the series? I guess if I didn't check the web site I wouldn't know their names at all.

shadowreaper:
Yeah, it's on the official site. Their names are Happy, Grumpy, Sleepy, Dopey, Sneezy, Bashful, and Doc. Ok, no really, their names are Uno, Duo, Triam, Quattuor, Sex, Septem, Oct, Novem, and Decem. There should be one between Quattuor and Sex though. My guess is Quinque. I believe these are Roman numbers. They might be Greek. I'll get a piclist with them in a bit.
