School Days' last episode was the only decent part of that series while the rest was kinda boring which I ended up watchin cause I was recommended it for some odd reason and the funny thing is that the last episode stands out like a sore thumb compared to the first 11....Didn't they change the ending to something crap if I remember due to some murder in JapanCpT_x_Killsteal said:

1.
The whole point of the show was that stories never have endings and that things will constantly keep going and that there is no conclusion
2.
Dallas was missing from the drum when they fished him up, the bastard escaped and is likely out fucking over even more people because the guy was a straight up ****...
Plus there are the light novels that expand a fair bit on the universe
Broken (Break?) Blade and Blue Gender:
Broken/Break Blade was a really good show, but the ending was just crap. They didn't explain a lot of the subplots and the final fight was pretty underwhelming. The best 'ultimate weapon' they could come up with was apparently a big-ass shuriken on a rope.
Blue Gender's ending made about as much sense as its name. For all of the show it was a dark, 'hardcore' sci-fi series with mechs and aliens and stuff. But at the very end of the show, the main character gets "absorbed into the spirit of the Earth." I remember watching that and just thinking, "What the hell?"

I see, but was it any good? If I had an hour to kill, would I watch the movie or get a gun?Mortai Gravesend said:
Clannad : After Story.
I wouldn't say it was really 'bad' and I didn't 'hate' it, just...I dunno. Just something about it.

My least favorite anime endings of all time would still have to be the ending to every single season of Pokemon. Not only does Ash never beat the entire Elite Four or his rival, but he always manages to get rid of most of his Pokemon by the next season. Yeah, continuity, we get it. Even so, it makes for some of the most predictable (and boring) endings of anime.
Sorry, but Ash defeated Gary during the Silver Conference (Johto) and Paul during the Lily of the Valley Conference (Sinnoh).Lunias said:
But then he got trashed immediatly after. It's still predictable, yes.

I'm pretty sure I missed that part when watching. To know that he escaped does satisfy me because it closes one part of the story and starts another, i.e. gives closure and continues the story. I suppose I should watch it again with a keener eye but I'm surprised myself I missed something so big.
Yeah they said something about their powers and they defineatly know about him.anthony87 said:Guffe said:CriticKitten said:Guffe said:Yeah I liked that part about the captain commanders lieutenant too xD
Yeah, the quincys seem to be just these 10 people left.
But then again their major concern seems to be to stop people from activating their bankais...
I again like the fact that people are dying <.<
I mean the bad guys never get to kill of enough people but let's say 8 out of the 12 captains will die it would be pretty cool to see how the Vice-Captains would do against an opponent like that, we'd get to see some of them excel over their normal level and some awesome battles would take place
But yeah, we'll see what happens.
But what about the sword that appeared at Urahara at the end? Ichigos dad? We'll see in a few daysI don't mind deaths, but I'm not sure I like the fact that people are dying LIKE THIS. You can sort of tell that this will be Kubo's version of Countdown or Ultimatum from the American comic book universe: a string of meaningless deaths meant to "raise the stakes" by starting a body count, rather than raising the stakes by simply having a good story with tension and drama.
To be fair, we already know how the Vice-Captains will do against these opponents. See: Kira. OHKO'd without so much as a fight. The only way they'll succeed is if, by some miracle, they turn out to be more powerful than their captain counterparts, which I would definitely be one of many to call "bullshit" on that. What bugs me is that this has basically turned the entire cast into a bunch of weaklings who have no choice but to beg Ichigo for help. Keep in mind these are guys who defeated Espada (creatures with the powers of Hollow and Shinigami combined) in drawn out battles, yet a bunch of Quincy whom they easily exterminated to near-extinction in the past are easily overpowering them. It doesn't make a wit of sense, and it's pretty much doomed several of the main characters. You think any of Ichigo's friends will have any use in these fights? Ha, I wouldn't count on it, not unless Kubo really wants to screw with my suspension of disbelief.
And yeah, I'm betting it's Ichigo's dad. It pretty much has to be. Think about it: the shinigami are all busy in Soul Society, so there's only one person (besides Urahara's shopkeeper helper, who is the former Kido Corps captain) who wields a zanpakuto in these stories. If it's a new character I'm shoving a fresh army boot firmly down Kubo's throat.How about Ishida and his dad?
What if they get wit of the situation and think what these "leftover" quincys are doing is wrong and go and help the Shinigami out?
Then you said something about being defeated in the past. Well that is sort of true but look at the means they are figthing now, the only reason they have achance now is because of their bankai stealing thing so it isn't really a "fair fight".
But yeah, let's see what this whole mess leads up to
Not too much more and then Bleach'll end...Didn't the guy that Ichigo fought in Hueco Mundo mention something about being less powerful than Ishida? That says to me that these "new" Quincy and Ishida are already aware of each other, if not outright working together.
But as said, we're only speculating and it can be a lot of fun
But animes are usually a pretty big mess so we'll see were this goes
Does manga that hasn't been adapted count? If it does, Togari. The ending felt like a joke ending from Silent Hill, I mean it happens abruptly, there's no closure, and it's pretty much just all the main characters going "Thanks for reading!" Not to mention they pulled a cruel joke by saying "The real ending is coming it Togari: Perfect Edition!" which it turns out actually was a joke.
It had great artwork, an interesting story, some very touching moments, a unique enemy and conflict for the main character, and the ending is a literal joke. Fuck disappointing, this one was insulting!

elfen lied, initially. i didn't think lucy should have been forgiven. and i heard she actually wasn't in the original manga. they just changed it in the anime for some reason. more recently, i think it's ok to forgive her though. what's done is done, and no amount of vengence is gonna change the past. plus, humans can suck it.
For Break Blade, they changed the ending, cause the manga is still ongoing, If I remember correctly.Platypus540 said:
For me it would have to be ZnT and SnS. ZnT first,after watching the last episode,I felt sad at how this fan-servicey piece of crap can actually be called good but most of all I feltdissapointed in myselffor sitting through all the BS, sigh.
SnS was really good,but I dunno, season 3 seemed to come out of nowhere. Was there any indication the Yuji was gonna become the host for the snake?. Whatever.
Well to it's defense it was meant to be just a stand alone series. Guess Nick forgot when you actually make a good fucking show people will watch it. That's why the first "season" just wraps up so neatly, it was meant to be just a one shot deal.renegade7 said:
Evangelion. Because, you know, it's one of the most infamously shitty endings of anything ever, and it always deserves to be mentioned no matter how much everyone's talked about it. I couldn't get too angry about the ME3 ending because all of the "what the fuck did I just watch" in me had already been used on Eva.
At least the movie provided some slight closure in the form of pure unadulterated horror.
Congratulations, my ass....stupid penguin.

One that comes to mind for me would have to be Black Cat.
Took the show down a notch for me, not that it hadn't done that before thanks to the blandness of Train Heartnet (which is still the most ridiculous name ever) and the usual shounen tripes.
Also the first season of Haruhi has one of the worst last episodes i have ever seen (Having literally half the episode focus on one...fucking...frame )
After Creed's defeat i was wondering what the hell was left since it wasn't the last episode, in which ended up being that whole Adam and Eve plot that came right out of nowhere. It felt so unnecessary, especially since the scientist guy wasn't focused on much throughout the series until now and i felt that the focus on Eve's relationship with Sven and the learning human emotions thing was enough for her since we knew of her background.

The entire second "season" of Death Note was just doomed to never match up. RIP L. Near will never be as good as you.
Fullmetal Alchemist. What do you *mean* Ed forgets his memories? Or he loses his powers? EITHER WAY THIS SUCKS. I like happy endings where the hero finally gets to rest and have life go back to normal, where *normal* is "with all the stuff you accrued on your journey, so you can have fun in life for once."
Wolf's Rain. Everybody dies. Now where's the point in that?
Basically, I just hate downer endings.

But Legend of Korra doesn't really wrap up neatly. I thought it ended okay at first, but after letting it simmer for a bit, there are a LOT of problems here.dalek sec said:
1.) It's paced lightning-fast compared to the rest of the series. I feel like to make the ending satisfying, it needed another episode or two to help maintain the pace. This oddly-fast pace kind of inflicts the other problems it has.
2.) You've heard the phrase "show, don't tell", right? Well, I feel like there was a lot of "tell" here, especially compared to the rest of the show and the one that came before it. The hobo community (btw, I DID like how they actually acknowledge the existence of the hobo from Episode 1 again) was said to be a place where benders and non-benders lived together in harmony. We never saw any of that. Ever. But the worst case of "tell" was the whole flashback of Tarrlok and Noatauk (sp?). Usually, when Avatar does flashbacks, there isn't a narrator; we see the flashback happening, we can infer things from it, and it's kind of powerful (think of TLA Episode "Zuko Alone", and you'll see what I mean). But in this episode, Tarrlok pretty much narrates the whole flashback, and it just feels like "Stop! Now that we've blown your mind, we have to take time out to explain." It's awkward and forced and jars with the whole show.
3.) While I don't mind the revelation that Amon is Tarrlok's brother and a Bloodbender, what Korra decides to do with that information is, frankly, idiotic. They decide to infiltrate an Equalist rally and yell what they've learned. I mean... it does sound a little ridiculous and possibly like something a Bender would say in a smear campaign against the Equalists. Couldn't they have thought of a more clever way to expose Amon? I'll admit that having the burn make-up to rebutt Korra's accusation was a clever move, but you know what would've been more genius (in my opinion)? Actually burning your face. Then the make-up wouldn't wash off.
4.) When and how did the Airbenders get captured? Especially Tenzin (my favorite character in this show, btw), who has shown to be one of the most competent Benders in Republic City? They flew away at the end of Episode 10. Lin tried her damnedest to wreck some airships so that they could get away. Lin also refused to tell Amon where they went at the risk of having her Earthbending sealed. Tenzin's been shown to be smarter than the rest of the council (except maybe Tarrlok, but that's debatable). How did he and his kids get caught? For that matter, how long has it been between Episodes 10 and 11, anyway? Maybe I'd be able to swallow this a bit better if we had some kind of timeframe. But as far as I can tell, this is a plothole so bad that Korra POINTS IT OUT, which is now the second time I can liken this finale to Shyamalan's disasterpiece (first being the relentless pace).
5.) Availability of Korra's Avatar talents. I usually ask "Where do I begin?" rhetorically while actually knowing how to start, but this time, this is such a mess that I can't figure out any other way to start on this besides chronologically. Amon / Noatauk actually succeeds in rendering Korra unable to bend water, earth, and fire. We don't really get an explanation as to how Amon seals bending (I'm guessing that he bends blood into a seal on their connection to the elements), so it's a little surprising that all three of those are gone at once. It's also a surprise that when she sees Mako about to fizzle out, she suddenly Airbends for the first time. How? Why? Why did it take this long? And why can she still do it when Amon sealed her bending? The best I can figure is that Amon never uses his Bloodbending to seal Airbending before, so he probably didn't get to learn how to do that. But the details of how he does it are still hazy, and so is that theory.
6.) Tarrlok and Amon. Are we supposed to feel sympathy for these guys? Are we supposed to feel sorry for them when Tarrlok blows up the boat? Seriously? Yes, they had tragic lives brought upon by their horrible father. That doesn't excuse the terrible things that they did.
7.) What in the bluish-gray Hell happened to Amon? He claimed to Korra during their first face-to-faceless meeting, "I have a plan, and I'm saving you for last." This got me to think that maybe he wouldn't just rob Benders of their abilities willy-nilly, that he had some method to his madness. Maybe he wanted to take down the Bending authority and show the world that it no longer needs Benders, or something like that. But no, he just wanted to take over the city. And then he lined Benders up in the night and sealed them. And he started to make big spectacles of how he was doing it. His motivation seems like something a whiny teenager would think when he's grounded: "My father's an ass! I hate the world!" And when he's found out, he runs away and begs his brother for forgiveness. What a heel-turn from cool villain to whiny pussy.
8.) Availability of Korra's Avatar powers, Part 2, or How Korra Got Her Groove Back. And THIS part bothered me even when I thought this ending was tolerable. Okay, so with Korra only able to Airbend, the team tries to get Katara to heal her. Katara fails, claiming she tried "everything she could". Are you sure, Katara? Maybe there's still something you could do that might be able to reverse Amon's damage. Something like BLOODBENDING?! Ya know, the thing that cut her connection to the elements in the first place?! And I would've actually been fine if the spirit of Aang had just showed up and talked to her briefly. It would've been cool if they just had the chat about hitting your lowest point or something and ended the show right then. But no, instead he Avatar Ex Machinas all of her powers back, making her better, also showing her how to do it to others, getting Tenzin to acknowledge her as "Avatar Korra", and...
9.) "What the fuck do we do now?" is what the creators are saying. The series ends with no real antagonists lingering about, virtually no mysteries that were developed (aside from "parents killed by Firebenders all around", maybe), and no real direction of what to do now. Bad guys are gone, Korra has her powers back, she can give other people their Bending back, all is right with the world. And while that might be preferable in reality, that's boring for TV. I do think that the creators have the potential to make something else interesting happen after this, but at the same time, this is the kind of set-up Disney sequels typically have to work with. The first one was meant to be self-contained, so any cash-ins, I mean follow-ups will be kind of yanked from out of the blue, and that could be damaging to the property's reputation. I'm waiting for what's next, just holding a much lower standard to it than before.
10.) Not as damaging to the ending as everything above, but Mako's still a douchebag.

10.) Not as damaging to the ending as everything above, but Mako's still a douchebag.
There were a few neat things about the ending to Legend of Korra. For example, the hobo from the first episode reappears. I was hoping he'd come back; it's not nice to leave characters that seem like they'd be likable to rot in the ether. Asami's fight with her dad was kind of sad, too. And General Iroh II showed up. He didn't do a lot and we don't know much about him, but hey, he's named after one of the most loved characters from the first show; that's sweet.
But other than those little things, the ending was a 10-mile fall from grace. Seriously, what happened here?
