It was amazing and it had everything you'd want from this series finale, Emilia got what she deserved, Hugo sacrifices himself for his sister Kipo, and finally five years later we get to see the age of wonderbeasts, where humans and mutes live happily together and it's just heartwarming and satisfying.
Great show with lots of heart, I'm a 23 years old man by the way. I saw the other "review" so I had to make this justice.

Satisfying, but Anticlimactic
pdoglindley15 April 2021
I want to provide a more balanced point of view than the other two reviews here.
The finale was epic and action packed, but it felt... somewhat lacking, and I think I know why: This episode wasn't about Kipo. It couldn't be. In fact, the last three episodes weren't about her.
Kipo's story ended when her friends convinced her to not slaughter the Human Resistance. Her entire character arc was based around her struggle with the world rejecting her beliefs. She believed that everyone deserved a second chance; the world was telling her that most people didn't even deserve a first chance. So, when she decided that she was going to give the Human Resistance a second chance, even after they effectively killed her friends, she resolved that internal struggle. She resolved her character arc.
This is also a heavily character-focused show, and the character that it focuses on the most is Kipo. In fact, the entire show's plot is centered around Kipo's character arc. So, when the final episode rolled around, the central tension of the show was gone. The true climax had already happened. That, I believe, is why the finale, despite wrapping things up in a very satisfying way, felt so anitclimactic.

It was cool

The end of the series was good, but it didn't have much to add. The characters had already developed over the previous episodes and the ending has no answers, but I can't say it was bad, it had a good battle and a very satisfying ending for the villain, as well as a heart-melting ending, it's as fun as watching any kipo episode.
