Uta Kata 12 (Final)


This could have used some floating Rei heads. You know, just to spice things up.

I'm not entirely sure what to think of the ending, primarily because I don't quite understand it. Or, rather, I don't understand the show in general. When I stop and ask myself, "What was the point of Uta Kata?", I come up empty. I guess it's a coming-of-age story of sorts, but thematically, there's very little going on. And this final episode doesn't help, really.

I suspect I could find the answer to the conundrum if I took the time to truly think about it, but the show never really asked for that much. So, in that sense, you could argue that Uta Kata is a complete failure. It's a void. It aspires to absolutely nothing.

Weird.

Still, it was enjoyable enough in its own right. And, the music was pretty good. I'll admit that.

I find that the ending to this series was very open and that if they wanted to, they could make an Uta~Kata 2, like second season to answer a lot of the questions. Although i understood Ichika's ending and her view of the world and everyone in it with herself and everyone's flaws with herself, I STILL WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO SATSUKI!! Yeah, so it was a good ending for Ichika but, in the rumored OAV i hope they find a good ending for all the other characters.
