I like the ending scene. In the beginning of the final episode, there is a conversation between Sawaki Tsukasa (沢木つかさ) and Yoshimoto (吉本一芳).
Yoshimoto said he was educated by his mother that he should follow everyone's direction. When others move to the left, then he should move to left; when others move to the right, he should also move to the right. His mother believes that by doing so, he will be in the correct path. Then, Sawaki Tsukasa replies that she's the opposite because she likes doing what others don't do, although she does not have the courage.
Then, in the final scene at the crossing, you can see everyone except Sawaki Tsukasa and Shima (島大紀) is moving backwards, and they are the only two moving forwards. This is a very clever scene, because it echoes the beginning of the episode. Even though things are irrational or not making sense, people will just follow (even moving backwards). But this time, both Sawaki and Shima have the courage to do something different to others (moving forwards).
