Will say more when I'm done. “Rusty spoons at the hearts of the viewers”

Yes, this — though I’m affirming this from the experience of the novel, where I’m right smack in the middle of. Will say more when I’m done.

The ending was probably one of the best I've ever seen. If I had to make a comparison (which I do) I would call it a modern, Japanese Catcher in the Rye, except the main character is just terrible instead of being a whiny sophist. It follows a similar format anyways: peek in on a short slice of a character's life, then disappear. There's no real satisfying conclusion or epilogue to give you the warm fuzzies (see: Eureka Seven), and even though it's maddening, that last line is just so classy, I can't be mad.
