Mekakucity Actors didn’t really meet our expectations—it just never came together—but it had, quite simply, one of the most beautiful ending sequences of the year. Even in a show based upon and heavily shaped by music, the ending theme “Days” stands out in the crowd, beautifully sung by Lia, who also sang the theme to Angel Beats!, another of our favorites.
“Days” is full of bittersweet contemplation and longing, well-matched with serene black-and-white visuals of Hiyori sitting asleep on a fast-moving but silent train. As the city—and time—blows by, the other characters populate around her as small colored forms dance slowly across the screen. By the end, her neutral expression has morphed into a soft smile before she quietly vanishes.
