Babu and Hie are intentional hate sinks. A scrappy is a character who is unintentionally hateable.
* CatharsisFactor: [[spoiler:Babu and Hie getting incinerated by Akira for their gleeful treachery is very satisfying considering what they had done to their friends.]]

* TheScrappy: While Wam, Gabi, and Kukun were well-liked characters, the other two members of their gang (Babu and Hie) get a lot of hate for how quick they were to turn on their friends and [[spoiler:their role in the deaths of Miki, Miko, Gabi, and Wam. Predictably, they [[AssholeVictim get their comeuppances not long after]].]]

* RewatchBonus:
** The series opens with a short monologue about love, but it's only after the ending it becomes apparent that its meaning is [[spoiler:Ryo[=/=]Satan expressing his feelings for Akira and his death.]]
** The opening may seem simplistic at first, especially with its mostly monochromatic color scheme, but if you look really closely, the opening actually spoils the entire plot, and there's a lot of meanings and symbolism behind every frame, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAKs3rbtgAs as explained by Mother's Basement]].
** There's also the entire opening scene in Episode 1, from the Earth's destruction to Akira and Ryo in their childhood, which is far more meaningful and symbolic than it seems, as shown in [[https://twitter.com/Richmond_Lee/status/954398269517410304 this meta post]]. It should also be noted that the same post was [[ApprovalOfGod retweeted by]] Creator/MasaakiYuasa himself, which basically establishes the whole analysis as canon.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Maasaki Yuasa's M.O. as a director. Thanks to the financial backing of Netflix, it may well be his trippiest project yet.
