I liked the parallels between the first and second series in these last few episodes too.
Without getting into which side is right or wrong, I have to say that from living in Japan it's become quite clear to me that the anime industry in Japan really hates and fears fan(subber)s quite a lot. Companies here profit off anime in very traditional ways, which have recently started to not work so well, and their response so far has been to try to suppress alternative methods of anime propagation. So I guess I'm saying, Sunrise is being typical here, sadly.
