Title 1000 Years Old Spoiler
Hmm... for a show that had such glacial pacing overall, why did it feel like they rushed the very ending? 3 things were disappointing: #1, that Yoh didn't fight for Pun at all during the 'wedding,' and only finally had some spark of initiative after the girl 'gave' Pun to him π; #2, that once the past-lives were revealed to be true, there was not nearly enough footage of this (there should have been at least half an episode dedicated to showing more of the past lives and them meeting again and again and again to make more impact, rather than just a couple of several-second-long shots + brief mentions of it in the dialogue); and #3, that the final payoff was not very good at all... there should definitely have been more shown after they finally got together in this life-- even just a longer montage hinting at the years of happy domesticity they had or something-- rather than the almost-immediate timeskip to Yoh's death-day that they did here instead... π I don't mind the bittersweet-feeling ending, and I totally understand what they were trying to go for story-wise, but it's just that the execution of that vision left a lot to be desired...
