Gilgamesh

Genre: Action, Drama, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror

Although when you look it up this is what is given for the genre. I feel however it is all about love.

If you can get past the drawings with the big lips, big faces and all the eating scenes I thought this was a excellent anime.

Its kind of confusing with the technology and I was lost at some points but I hung in there and I"m glad I did.

What I understood was two sides with the 'good' side having no idea what they were fighting for and the 'bad' side seeming to actually be the 'good' side. Did I confuse you?!? lol

It starts out with a with Madoka a young scientist finding a cave that happened to be another dimension. They built the 'gateway to heaven' a big lab more or less over top of it to study what they found which was called 'tear'.
This may not be correct but this is what I got from it. Madoka was married with a daughter and a scientist named Hiroko (they call her the countess) was in love with him.

Tear was leaking or contaminated and the facility was being shut down however Madoka releases Tear or does something and the lab blows up. This destroys the world as they know it. The sky is now a 'mirror' and computer cannot be used.

The scientist that worked in the lab where all thought to be dead except for the Countess although she was in a coma for many years. Each scientist had there genes stored so that clones could be made and they were. The Countess gathered these children together to help her fight against "Gilgamesh".

The story surrounds two children Madoka (clone to the the other Madoka) and his sister Kiyoko. Madoka has a huge sister complex which I found very endearing.

Everyone seems to be after these two because they are the orginial Madoka's children. Kiyoko is his biological daughter and they don't find out until way later that young Madoka is his clone.

All the clone children have these powers they call Dynamis. There is also a group of kids they call Gilgamesh they have powers. These two groups fight all through the anime.

The Countess's children fight because the Countess wants them too and the Gilgamesh guys fight to 'save the world'. Yep very confusing but its worth hanging in there.

Young Madoka is taken in by the Countess but his sister ends up leaving. Later in the story she falls in love or lush with one of the Gilgamesh. She becomes pregnant and ends back up at the hotel where they all live with the Countess.

The baby kills hers but she can still talk to her brother through the big goop she becomes. ( I don't get that part) Then the big finale happens and the two sides fight.

My little report may suck and doesn't say much so I advise if you're interested to do a google search of the anime or watch these clips that can help you decided if you wanna watch:

Okay here is why I''m writing this blog. HELP!!
I just watched the last episode and I'm so confused. I get that tear was actually contaminated by the jealousy in the Countess's heart. That it called to Madoka who took it in because he had feelings for her also. That he through tear saw how 'wicked and evil' the world was and with tear decided to 'clense' the world. The Countess takes in the tear because its 'her heart, feelings etc...' to become 'whole' again. Her and Madoka kiss and she 'cleanses' the world. So everyone dies right? I see Kiyoko hold her brother and take him with her. I thought that was a great ending. But I don't get what the white tree represents unless it was like the tree of life or something. Also the cocoon that Kiyoko had been in burst opens and what looks like Kiyoko steps out but she's dead so is that the child? I remember when some of the Gilgamesh guys die that they were reborn as grown men so I'm guessing that was the child. Okay the kid was 'tear' right? It looked just like the young Countess and the Kiyoko kid kills it. Why? Then she laughs like it so does that mean she took it in herself?

Wow so confusing but it was a awesome anime I just wish I understand that ending better. If it had just stopped with everyone dying and Madoka and his sister together it would have been perfect for me.

Thanks for any and all help!!
