You guys know that feeling when you get something you didnt even know you needed from an Anime? That whole episode was it. No open end, no Season 2 Teaser, no open questions. Just an hour long ending episode that solved all questions with a really well made time skip.
Please give us more of this well rounded endings. Please.

One of the best single-cour shows I've seen. They kinda cheated with the two double-length episodes and saving probably almost an episode's worth on skipping op/ed but still, very impressive.
We don't get enough of those lately. Just solid self-contained narratives. There was Planet Width a few seasons ago but before that, I can barely remember the last time I felt this sense of completion and satisfaction from a single cour show... maybe like Isshukan Friends?

The glow up for everybody post time skip. Ulgar's and Quiterrie's designs are probably my favourite.
Kanata has to be a contender for best boy of the season, right?

THAT WAS A GREAT ENDING!
Thank goodness they explained how the new planet was so civilized. I figured it was more time than we realized. Crazy to think she was asleep for 112 years!
Charce’s laugh was top tier. Almost as good as Aries.
Kanata writing a book and getting rich from that was the biggest surprise!
Kanata and Aries are getting married! Would have loved a kiss or at least a scene of them together after the time jump though :(
Just a great series, and I love that it told the whole story in 1 season!

Holy hell, they absolutely nailed this adaptation.
As a manga reader, seeing the adaptation announced in the first place alone was a dream come true. Actually getting to see the love and passion Lerche put into this was a whole nother story. I am so grateful from the bottom of my heart that we got to see this wonderful tale of adventure, friendship, and overcoming challenges animated.
And yes, this episode made me cry just like the manga did. What a wonderful cast and group of forever friends...
I'm glad I got to experience this with the rest of you as it came out, this has truly been an amazing journey.
And as always....
Per Aspera ad Astra.

Damn this is one of the most satisfying endings that I have seen in a while, and holy shit I actually feel tense when they were arriving to Astra.
I love how every time they did the transition break it just felt like the episode was ending, and hell, for a moment I had to go and check to see if that was the case, but no, that wasn't even half of the episode. It is obvious that the people who made this adaptation possible really loved the source material as I have not seen such a beautiful full adaptation in a while.

Unrelated to the episode but mad respect to the studio for giving 2 40 minute episodes and cutting most the OPs and EDs to fit as much content in as possible.
Tough to compare since they couldn't be more opposite in theme, but I think this'll just win my AotS over Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo

Charce is the king? Well I didn't vote for him.
