Episode 63--a compromise I can live with (spoilers)

[binaryalchemist]

When I heard that the final chapter of Brohood was going to be a two-parter..I decided I would go ahead and download 63 and watch it....and I don't regret it.

Bottom line--I felt the show should end with the Brothers leaving the gate and Hoho dying. Originally it was announced that there were going to be 63 episodes--it has now been expanded to 64. Ep 63 brings Al back--and unlike the Manga actually gives Hoho a better send off than he got in the manga. I realize that they were stretching it out, playing for time so that the finaly epsode can focus on what became of the others--but to me, having #63 end as it did brought closure and a satisfying end. My one regret is that Scotty McNeil won't be doing this in the English version.

So they stretched it out, thus fleshing out the storyline. What a concept... /stares at first anime

I know--the whole thing was such a rush job and so was the damn manga. It pissed me off that after all that hell he went thru Hoho shakes hands with Al and then vanishes and is found dead at Trisha's grave--but they run nine pages of hetshit at the end. It was as if Hoho became irrelevant and needed to be gotten out of the wa so they could flash forward to the picket fence.
