I found myself rather disappointed about the insignificance of all the events prior to this. Doing a whole Copy Earth is a cop out but what bothered me more is where it exists. Opposite the real Earth in orbit around the sun? Judging from the telescope that Suou was looking through, they have real stars unlike the old Earth. Orion was pretty easy to recognize. Eventually the Copy Earth will find Old Earth.

Everything just gets wiped clean, and the only real development in the whole series was Misaki, Mao, and Golgo 13 switching sides as America sweeps in (yay more anti-Americanism!) to become the new Syndicate.

They opted to leave out everything that happens with Hei and Yin.


There were some bright moments. Hazuki getting her revenge on the pervert was nice, and it really made sense that he was the one to needlessly torture Youko when he put her through the questionably lethal ME Squeezer (since it is usually used on dead bodies). I also really liked Mao freaking out when he discovered he was on Misaki's head all of a sudden.

While I certainly enjoyed this series, and allowed for plenty of good speculation, it did not really end up as fulfilling or have a nice climax like the first series did. That and I hate Reset Endings. Always have, always will.
