But if you show the epilogue immediately, it'll destroy the mood of the last episode a bit, right? I mean, while reading the last chapter you just think "wait, did that really just happen"?

If I decided to show the epilogue, then I'd do it in the following way: First, I'd show Haise's silhouette with a suitcase next to him in the sun (the manga's last panel), then I'd suddenly make the screen black and write "End" or something similar. (Then after a short while, maybe fade out "End" and fade in "Next story".) After one or two seconds, I'd slowly fade into the epilogue.

I think the chances are good that we'll get to see a similar ending. The Anteiku arc has the property that it almost doesn't matter what kind of arc happens before. And the anime team and Ishida have an interest in the anime ending in a similar way, since it's required to animate :re in the future. (On the other hand, you never know with Ishida.)
