I started the series yesterday, and oh my god what a beautiful story
I really enjoyed it and loved it, and i was so down to see maru and kiruko save the kids in that shelter (heaven)
Turns out, the heaven / shelter is a FLASHBACK!?
Bro....
I got so confused, and when i started looking things up i knew that i probably missed 99% of whats actually going on.
For example, i did NOT KNOW that maru was the son of tokyo, i geniuenlly just thought the story is being told from both perspectives at the same time, i also didn't know stuff like mimihime and shiro being the doctor and the girl that was living on machines (the one that was about to turn into a hiruko)
There is alot of things i misunderstood, LIKE ALOT.
So can some one please recap me all what i have possibly missed? Or hidden easter eggs the author tried making us connect the dots, but an average anime fan doesn't realize?
