I’d live in the Dragon Ball universe because it reminds me of the wild west with lots of exploration, dinosaur ridin’, wishing for underwear havin, fightin’ bad guy hijinks. Until it moves to Z and then everyone keeps dying every like 10 years when a bad guy invades and blows the earth up.
The entire series is art. What really sealed the deal for me is that no matter what, at its very heart it’s a love story. (Call me a bit of a romantic), and just being able to watch and put together Shiki and Mikiya’s story rubbed my brain in all the right spaces. Combine it with the outstanding work of Ufotable, and the vocals of Kalafina under the masterful direction of Yuki Kajiura, and by Jove you have in your hands a masterpiece!
Sometimes I wish it was continued, but honestly I’m content with it being a completed work.
I didn’t even realize they did all the epilogues after episode 7 until last year! Recalled out summer and the Mana stuff was just this great final addition that really adds a satisfying bow.
And yeah, the love story is the heart of it. Also, I forgot to mention in my first post, but it’s absolutely Maaya Sakamoto’s best role (and she’s Aerith and L’alc in diebuster, among so many others).
