44	->''What I find with the ending is that it's incredibly reflective of who watches it. Because people come to me incredibly happy or incredibly angry about it saying, "But you said everything was in her head!" or "You said everything was real!" And they're equally—I remember I was reading a column by an online critic that said, "I love the movie, but I don't like the fact that del Toro is so bent in showing us that everything the girl experiences is real and that she reaches a sort of heaven at the end. Then, a little later, I read another guy that is saying, "I love the movie, but I cannot understand why del Toro says that everything is false, and it's all happening in her head." And I said, "It's great."''

52
53	->''"So, I'll give you a serious-ish answer now, actually: We don't really have one.\
54	Lemme explain - this is just one ancillary detail-related query in a long line of such things where quite often, there is pretty much nothing to gain by answering it. In fact, sometimes it's only an unnecessary risk. I'll use your question as an example; There's no real presence accounted for of the Olympics in the Halo fiction (no real need to so far, really lol). So I could give you an answer about the Games' place in the universe and its evolution into the sporting future, but we'd just be making one up strictly for the goal of "answering the question."\
55	But let's say one day for some reason, we find a proper story reason to involve the Olympics (I have no idea why, just go with me), but it doesn't mesh well with the arbitrary answer we gave on some forum or blog - now we either retcon it (which goes over oh so well usually), or we shoehorn it in potentially to the detriment of the original idea. There's just very little reward to the risk.\
56	Now, I'll be honest, that's not to say that there haven't been times where we do due diligence to answer community-requested questions or provide info, we just have to be far more choosy than folks would likely imagine - and for a myriad of reasons.\

67	->''"I hear JRR Tolkein used to get asked about the Misty Mountains, who lived there, what was there, etc, and he used to say he didn't know, and shouldn't. They are there for the express purpose of being ominous and unknown. The story does not concern them. Moebius also said he prefers to leave most of his setting completely unfurnished, as it allows a space for the reader to mentally insert themselves and explore. I tend to agree. Point being, if you are curious about very specific details of the KSBD setting, you are my favorite person, but I honestly often do not know the answer, and I think your answer will be better than mine."''

When (censored user's name) asked about the bust size of Eliza, it was 85 in the character introduction on the official website and 83 in the in-game character introduction. As (censored user's name) said, the size has changed ...! Did her mind grow and her body grow in the battle ... Or the thickness of the underwear she wore at the time of measurement? Is it in the shadow ... Maybe Eliza looks good and insists that she's bigger than before ...! I'd like to confirm with her, but it's a sensitive part, so that's it. Let's leave it as it is. We hope that you will continue to protect the growth of the magical girls' minds and bodies with warm eyes. If you have any other questions or requests, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your interest in "Magicami"!"''

98	->''"There are answers for basically all the questions and points that people wrote in the survey. Simply, I think it may not be necessary to answer any of those things now. Therefore, if we can continue to make things in the future, I think there may come a time when we are able to provide answers. For example, we are aware that there are many requests to see what happens after the ending. But if we do that, then we'd have to journey beyond ''Xenoblade Chronicles 3''. So, I understand how people feel, but for now please wait just a little while. I'd be very grateful if fans continue to eagerly await that. There are actually principles concerning Origin and the world of Aionios, and in fact the world was made with this reason and that reason behind it. But I won't say what those reasons are just yet. Yeah... yeah... it's just not the right time. So for now, it's best if you think of it as a 'virtual world'. It's certainly not wrong to think of it like that. If you were the person in charge of that world, you could do anything. That was Z in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 3'', and that's the story."''
