>>29457116Honestly tonight's episode felt like it could have been a conclusion to the whole series, to Ashs story. The shot of him standing over pallet like we've seen so many times then him entering his house and the episode ending on that moment felt like it was the ending shot to the entire anime.
I'm honestly so happy and impressed with how it ended.
Like, XY/XYZ hands down has become my all time favorite anime because of tonight's episode.
Nothing will top it. There may be shows I enjoy a hell of a lot, but this series, this cast of characters who I hold so dear to me and have so many fond memories of them are irreplaceable.
I honestly don't want to watch Sun and Moon any more. I'll probably think otherwise after going to sleep and waking up, but right now, this post episode feeling I have is just content. If the series never got another episode after tonight's, I'd be fine with it. I've enjoyed everything XY had to offer and while I may enjoy SM a lot or even more then I'm expecting. XY is the show I'm going to look back on, 5-10 years from now and remember fondly.
I may, and will, watch SM during the live broadcast for as long as I can but I need to move forward in life and find a job and work towards my future now. I won't be able to dedicate the time I have to the anime any more. I'll likely love the Sun and Moon cast, but I won't be able to sink my time into them and the series like I did XY which was there for me through the hardest times of my life.
XY and the XY family, to me, are unbeatable. Ash may win a league one day, he may defeat the elite four, and when those days come I'll be excited for it. But nothing, NOTHING, will be able to top the memories, fun, and joy that the XY series has brought me over these last 3 years.
