That ending was absolutely brilliant - sort of low-key and open, but hilarious and appropriate too.

And the whole shampoo hat scene made me laugh hard - that was a great callback.

And with that, I say the series is a winner, from start to finish (and I'm already planning to rewatch it all the way through, maybe even starting tonight).

It has an odd tone, because it often feels sort of dark and sad and scary slong the way, but in the end, Yachiyo's (and later Ponko's) indomitable spirit and determination win out. Nothing comes easy for Yachiyo and the Gingarou, but she doesn't give up. She just keeps plugging away, and it works out — maybe not in the way that she wanted or expected, but in a way that does work.

And now I'm just that much more certain that the oddly dissonant OP was very deliberate, and I don't think I'd want it any other way. It says it's okay if things aren't quite what you'd expect or prefer — you can just set aside your expectations and enjoy it anyway.
