So, Banana Fish is finally over and thank all the stars in the heavens Max lived through to the end and got a happily ever after with his ex-wife! That alone is a win in my book. (He even got the best farewell scene with his “son,” fufu.)
The ending was nice in sentiment, if a bit on the unnecessarily melodramatic side of the scale. To the very end I was just never able to invest in Eiji to the degree I wish I could have, so I don’t really mind that he’s left in the dark and seems to have settled on denial as his way of coping. It’s a shame Ash couldn’t find his way back to the light, but at least he found a sliver of peace anyway.
All in all, it was a fun ride, but I’ll admit I’m ready for something new.
