Hey, it’s ok to be sad from watching a cartoon. Just means you’re human.

I’d say your take on the show and the ending is spot on.

So something interesting: The opening with Franz Ferdinand’s “This fire” has the lyrics “I’m gonna burn this city, burn this city” changed to “I’m burning, I’m burning, I’m burning (it) down” instead.

So I think it’s safe to say that what you’re feeling is what the creators of the show intended, and maybe there’s some small comfort in that? After all, the whole point of a dystopia is to show us a future that we don’t want, and can take steps to avoid.
