Tide Line Blue (Conclusion)

Beware!!! Beware!!! Big time spoilers ahead! If you don't want to know how this series ends, Don't read this post!

Well I finally had a chance to catch the ending of this series. When we last saw Keel and the gang everyone was headed to France (which is underwater as is most of the world) to head off Gould who's ship, the Ulysses, had suffered severe damage. Keel, Tean and Joze hooked up with a ship and gambled their way into getting the captain of the ship to give them passage to France as well as agree to the repair to the Ulysses. In the midst of dozen of battleships, the Ulysses raises itself under the freight vessel and gets the repairs it needs before a helicopter flies over and spots the submarine. Everyone is now reunited on the Ulysses and having failed to convince Gould to reach a peaceful solution, Keel realizes that the way to end the war is to announce to the world the existence of the Map his father has created. After 'discussing' it with Tean, he too agrees that it might be the solution. Keel, Isla, Tean and Joze head to the surface in a small submarine to meet with Aoi. Now it is time to try to convince Aoi to relinquish the map to the world and have faith in humanity.


Gould has no clue as to the progress the boys are having and so he is continuing his plans to send nuclear bombs to the powerhouses' of the world in hopes that their grasp on the people will diminish and peace be obtained. Aoi's team is trying to stop him from firing his missiles but even with all their ships Gould launches the missiles. There is a breath of suspense while the battleships fire on the missiles in hopes to detonate them before reaching the sky but some do make it through... When the missiles hit their targets it's discovered that they are duds. Gould was bluffing and it appeared to work. The powerhouses were scared shitless and realized that they are not invulnerable. Aoi decides the boys were right, her lack of faith in humanity kept the rich, rich and those under rule, defenseless. She gives Keel the map.

The series was great but there were a lot of loose ends. After firing the missiles, Gould just disappears (Joze had gone back to the sub, so she is no where to be found either) and it would have been nice to have Tean and Keel reunite with their father who is still in outerspace on a space station that is destined to crash into the world's atmosphere. We never find out who the father to Isla's son is and what will become of her and her son... There is definitely enough loose ends to this series to warrant either a second season or at least an OVA (maybe a wrapup episode?)
