Synopsis

Through the long distance warp called the "Exodus Project", Worns, Ryer and the other crew members of "Watchers Nest" manage to escape from the Earth. Misaki, who was attending the final battle with "Ghoul" at that time, isn't present there and before her eyes, the earth changes and gets enclosed by a time barrier. Ryer and the others search for a way to escape from this space time maze, but the earth changes to various forms. Innumerable "Nows" appear due to varying time axes. And also Misaki, who should have disappeared because of the Exodus Project incident, still afortiori. Before Ryer and the others, different forms of Misaki appear. The Misaki from training school, the Misaki from her childhood days. Are these reflections caused by the conflicts that exist inside Misaki? She awakens a second time and when she derives the response, that history is leading into a completely differnet direction now. Will Misaki, Ryer and the others be able to find a real happy end?!

Audience Consensus

Audience reception is mixed. Some appreciate the character development, emotional moments, and resolved plot, while others are turned off by the confusing plot, excessive fanservice, and poor technical execution. The series struggles to balance its sci-fi themes with its appeal to a specific audience segment, leading to divided opinions on its overall quality.

Strengths

  • Touching moments and exploration of character struggles, particularly Misaki's.
  • Well-resolved plot points and explanations, tying up loose ends.
  • Appealing art style and character designs, despite CG integration issues.
  • Enjoyable electronic music and sound effects.

Weaknesses

  • Confusing time-space distortion plot with poorly explained techno-jargon.
  • Over-reliance on fanservice, including excessive nudity and sexualized character designs, detracting from the story.
  • Sluggish 3D models and poorly acted voice acting in both dubbed and original versions.
  • Weak storyline overshadowed by attempts to lure viewers with 'boobies and panties'.
