I recently just finished watching "fullmetal alchemist", and felt let down by the ending...
I know that not every story has a happy ending, or sad bitter sweet ending. But after watching all of the plot twists come to the conclusions that it did, and knowing it was over.... I felt disappointed...

I have felt this way about other Anime's but was wondering.
What Anime's have you ever felt let down by, or saddened at the ending?
The first FMA or Brotherhood? I can understand it for the first FMA in particular.
Yeah, that entire first series basically built up to a woman dancing, a few alchemy performances and then pretty much all the characters being worse for it. I then watched the movie in hopes it could maybe make things a bit better? Oh man, I felt even worse after that... Thank god for Brotherhood!
Exactly my feelings on it. The hopes I had on that movie... -__-


The only kind of sadness I get from Brotherhood is the sadness you get when something you really enjoyed ended and you know you won't see anymore of it.
Didn't a new movie come out not that long ago?
That one's for Brotherhood and it's just set in the middle of the anime with no particular relation to everything else.
Was it any good? I was hoping it would be after the series - showing more of the lives the main characters instead of the pictures we got at the end credits of Brotherhood.

Hated the Green Green ending. Also School Days apparently gave everyone nightmares.
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 Japan

Eve's arc never got any closure. Hell, they have extra episodes revolving around Vino's love and some new guy with a thing for wrenches but you can't show Eve finally getting to meet her long-lost brother? The never-ending story bit is nice but that's no excuse to leave an arc hanging.
I can't really agree...

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?

Didn't really find it anything to be excited over. It didn't show any more of their lives and didn't seem like it had any kind of lasting impact on any other parts of the world besides the new one they introduced just for the movie =/

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).

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 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 days :p
I 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 :p
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.
Yeah they said something about their powers and they defineatly know about him.
But as said, we're only speculating and it can be a lot of fun :p
But animes are usually a pretty big mess so we'll see were this goes :D

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.

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.

Legend of Korra Season 1 (ok not technically anime but still). WTB closure, seriously.
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.
