@Zeusexactly my thoughts! The author laid the rule from the start. It was the only thing everyone was sure of and Nagisa reminded us every episode. 

I kept thinking. . . Is he gonna become human again? Will he leave the earth and explode in outer space? Maybe the earth will learn to leave in peace with him?  I'm used to seeing endings were the creators pull some bullshit despite the laws of the world they created.

But when the inevitable came it was so well done and emotional. Because of their bond, it just had to be done. Doesn't matter how much we love him, it's because of that that it has to be done.  Must have been hard for the author. 

Yeah,  creators keeping to their own laws isn't something we get often, they love pulling the 'wait! This character has one last ultimate secret power'  card. 

Also can't forget to mention how on point every opening theme was.

1st season they were all energetic and fun. 

2nd season,  determination and the 2nd one  just really nostalgic and depressing. 

All are great nevertheless . 

Gotta watch the second movie, thanks for remembering xD
