i understand how this is a well written ending, but it didnt had good vibrations - i think i might usually react this way for endings like this where they leave questions unanswered, theres a time skip and its a very open ending, but for me it didnt feel good.
Now these are not things that would make the manga better they are just what the simple side of my mind wanted when this ended - yuichi, dadpun, punpun face reveal, not really a face reveal but if they did it in the same beautiful way as other scenes, it would definetly be one of the biggest peaks of all time.
Then theres the side that wanted an utterly tragic ending, rather than the volta.
Also theres the fact of there generally being questions left unanswered, or more like we didnt get to see what all happened, only the aftermath.
Anyway the cyclical structure and overall parralels and stuff was really cool and i love it in this and shows like aot, but it wasnt how i wanted it to ened. Speakng of aot, it had a beautifully written ending, but it just had bad vibrations.
Now for how i feel overall about goodnight punpun, my current top 4 fiction are : 1.Aot 2.Death Note 3.Code Geass 4. Hxh.
In my head i would say punpun is better than 2 3 and 4, but it really feels weird saying that after theyve been there for so long. Maybe ill wait a day so i can fully wrap my head around how much i actually like this, because the post-consumption mind fuck is still undergoing and i cant keep my thoughts straight. None the less it is definetly not better than aot (nothing is), but i might put it as #2
