I also, predictably, really liked Akane, I thought she shone throughout the whole narrative, and whilst the last episode felt a little wonky with the pacing at times, I was really touched by the final scene. I don't want to get a reputation for being the-girl-who-only-likes-villains (too late!) but I found her frustration and doubt to be very human, very relatable, and I think that this would have made a tremendous impact on me had I seen it when I was an awkward teenager.

I have a whole bunch of thoughts churning about at the back of my head regarding heroes like Ultraman and Gridman and the very nature of identity and otherness, but perhaps 2:32am is not the right time to attempt to convey these feelings to you all. Please look forward to further discussion of this later.

The UNION music video acts sort of like an epilogue of the series, as you can see Akane going about in her daily life. https://youtu.be/b4CIYS1Bme4
