Just finished this series.

Another one of those Lain type show (well same director and scriptwriter) but this one came with lots of scientific theories and terms on top of the occult and supernatural stuff.

I enjoyed this one.
Didn't end up with a "huh?" that was as big as the time I finished Lain or Boogiepop.

====================

End series thoughts:
In the end what I think caused everything in the show is "man playing god".

The creation of the biooids disturbed the unseen order/balance of the area and that affects the environment and the people.

Somewhere in the series I think someone say theres too many "gods" here maybe the biooids (artifical life) attracted more spirits (natural death) to try keep the balance. Then in the end they cancel/nutralise each other.

The landslide, to Noriko she thinks that is Ogami-sama wrath. Real spirits or a landslide caused by the typhoon weather and loose soil?

Tarou went through all the mystical/sci-fi stuff wanting to meet his sister but in the end realize that she lives inside his memories.

The monks, priests and wanderer have to leave their bodies in order to "guide" the spirits.

Science upsets the supernatural.

Final thoughts:
- Who is that green being in the synapse world? Kei? Tarou's mom? Miyako? Tarou did confirm that its not his sister.
- The green-haired guy. His main screentime is writing that hopeless being text. To me he would be the main culprit for the whole series as he reprogrammed the biooids to reproduce thus creating life and upsetting the balance.
