Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, like it's not actually Thursday, but shouldn't episode 22 have been up by now? I've always been a lurker, but the internet doesn't seem to be in an uproar over this, so I'm kinda confused.

Do you know if it's that it airs tomorrow in Japan, or if it's a delay in translating it?
I guess it doesn't matter which, I was just waiting on my toes for this episode
The episode already aired. Going to marathon the series this weekend so I'm hoping to see something good this week
Loved it to the very end!! An amazing series! I've never cried so much in my life, and espically in the last few episodes. Can't wait for this to come out on dvd/blu-ray.
My expectations were for it to answer at least some of the questions it set up, like the fates of characters that contributed to the final battle. I think I may be to blinded by my rage right now, so that’s probably what’s clouding my judgement, but I still don’t see how this episode concluded or solved anything.
It’s never mentioned if:
1. GHQ or Funeral Parlor are disbanded or any changes to the Japanese government (KIND OF IMPORTANT)
2. If Daath is still in the shadows trying to plan another Fourth (or Fifth) Apocalypse or who they are or why they wanted one in the first place. (Evolution has many different definitions throughout sci-fi, so they need to pin that down here)
3. Whether anyone other than Shu, Kanon, Yahiro, Souta, Ayase or Tsugumi lived or did anything else with their lives.
4. Why Inori’s void is a sword
And many many more.
So if any of these were covered during the episode or series and I didn’t see it, please enlighten me.
Okay GreenMonk
1. The closest we get is the top guy gets killed, the one that was friends with Shu's father.
2. Gai says at the end the only way to stop it was to let Mana become Eve, otherwise Daath would just try again later.
3. Those are the main characters still alive at the end. I think they only want us to care about them.
4. Inori is Mana reborn and I see Mana as the Fourth Horsemen of the Apocalypse aka Death. The sword is just a symbol for death.
1. That doesn't answer my question. The end of the last episode is a few years later and for all we know, Japan could still be under dictatorship. That's kind of an important thing to not mention in a story that has a lot of its commentary based around government.
2. Daath is said to be an organization that's "older than the Freemasons and Zionists, has a lot of sympathizers, and has found its way into every organization you can think of". They've obviously been at this "merge everything into one" plan for at least centuries. GHQ and the Apocalypse Virus only existed for about 10 years. How do we know they didn't have a back up plan?
3. Souta and Kanon are not main characters. Yahrio, Ayase and Tsugumi are main supporting at best, and he and Souta are awful. They drove Shu off the deep end, then betrayed him when he did what they told him to TOO WELL. Why are they even alive after all they've done? Why is Shu the only one who's suffered longterm after all this time? Why do we not know about what happens to the people who WERE ACTUALLY AT THE FINAL BATTLE. Where's Daryl now? Where's Arisa? Where's Haruka? Where's Yuu? Where's the rest of FP? Does FP still exist? Why are none of these questions go unaddressed?
4. Voids are meant to represent the user's psyche. What does Death have to do with Inori's psyche? Why does it show up as a sword when the common symbol for death is a scythe?
And let's humor your Four Horsemen theme (which is a new theory to me, since I haven't seen it referenced anywhere in the material or any fansites or discussions of the story...also there are no horses in the story). Where are the other 3?
