[Xtreme RX]

While I still find this episode lackluster in many ways, I have to give props to Urobuchi:

I tend to forget that the theme of this show was growing up. And through characters like Mitchi and Kouta we were able to see many different sides of it.

So when Takatora wakes up at the end, we are told that their is still hope for anyone, no matter how worthless they think their life has become. It's a good, positive message. This would make a memorable final frame to the series but I still prefer having an extended epilogue.
