Got no sleep, don't feel like finishing this any further. Also, I've been waiting on Bikkun to watch 47, so ohgod don't spoil me please. :[ (
eta: Okay just watched 47, and now...now I just feel kind of sad.)
Oh, Ankh. I think Eiji would understand more than you think he does. And yes, I did take horrible liberty with the dialogue, no need to point that out.
(This has a pony in it, but it's still like 99% un-pony-related, so please don't repost to Ponibooru or any other such pony-centric site.

Thanks!)
Basically though I think it ended as well as it could have. I like that they didn't pull a Philip with Ankh (as much as I needed that at the end of W to keep my heart from shattering forever, it really was kind of a giant asspull, and I don't think it would've worked half as well in OOO) but they left it open and didn't explicitly make it final or permanent or anything. I have to admit I wasn't as emotionally invested in OOO as I was in other series (like W), but I enjoyed it anyway, and now I can get all excited for Fourze and its silly pompadour high school space shenanigans!
I'M IN SPAAAAAAAAAAACEI didn't find it forced, maybe it's just me, I have no sense of pacing.
I could of dealt with Phil being dead FOREVER but I enjoyed that ending too.
mostly because I hoped they would just do a whole movie that takes place in the year that Shotaro was just Joker.
OOO was a fun ride but the movies are so weird.
Movie OOO is in the same universe as W. But Forze is the same universe as TV OOO... so... yeah...
seeing Ankh's super happy face.... is something I could not imagine how he looks like but I like it how you did here
