This simply can't be happening! I scrolled (slowly)thru 6 pages to find someone to qoute and no one has mentioned it. lol
Texhnolyze..... Most Depressing Series Ever!
I challenge anyone to watch it all way thru and not have serious depression and/or suicidal tendencies afterward. I know for about a week after finishing it I was disalusioned with world and considered stepping in front of a moving vehicle.
Just so you know I'm quite the jovial person in my normal day to day life. I collect stand up comedians dvds got over 20 and they barely got me back on even kilter after finishing the series.
BTW - If you have a history of depression don't watch it, I can't warn you enough!

I know I've already posted here but I would just to add two more endings that annoyed me.
Nisemonogatari and Working season 2, both just ended there was no sign that the last aired episodes were the final ones, they just went. Also although I did enjoy Nisemonogatari it wasn't as good as its prequel Bakemonogatari which to mean still remains one of the funniest animes of all time.

Let's see, one that's not very known
Kyou Kara Maoh. The ending of the first season was pretty cliche. Demon king defeats main bad guy, portal appears. He can only use the power of the portal back to earth one last time. Sadly leaves all his friends behind in order to return. However just as luck would have it he has enough power now to return to his kingdom whenever he desires.
However the ending of the second season was the same, except reverse. He was trapped in the demon realm unable to go back to Earth. Yet again after months of living in the demon realm, he suddenly has enough power to return to Earth.
It was kind of a bummer to see the same endings for both seasons, especially since I adored the series as a whole. Oh well~

Yeah, I was kind of hoping Kei would have a response, but of course all Japanese protagonists have an inner tool that either comes out sometimes or is a defining characteristic of their personality.snave said:
I don't like reading manga. It's fine that it has a target audience, but people like me would rather watch the pictures in motion.snave said:
I stopped watching that one after the first fifteen minutes in. I have described in detail the severity of my annoyance with the protagonist's voice in a comment on one of Yahtzee's videos. That was my main gripe. The way his tool persona came out in the way his voice sounded was what caused me to "FUCK NO."snave said:
I can sympathize with the Fullmetal Alchemist haters. That last episode in the series that had its own original story was one huge troll, and not the good kind. After watching Fullmetal Alchemist and finding out that there was a different version they were working on(at the time) that would follow the story more closely, I had to jump. It was done so well, with the references to hell and demons, and the horror mood that was used throughout the series. Me and Brotherhood, we just clicked, you know? And then one thing led to another...
Well there's Kare Kano.
That show started off really well in my opinion. Unfortunately, about half-way through, the people who made the show started making some really stupid decisions.
For starters, at the beginning of nearly every episode, they gave a summary of pretty much all the events that had happened before the episode. It got annoying after a while, but I managed. And then they decided to spend TWO WHOLE EPISODES using clips from all the previous episodes to recap everything that had happened up to that point. That has got to be the most blatant and lazy example of filler I have ever seen in an anime.
Later on, the show started taking some weird turns. One episode had all the characters in the form of paper puppets, and another episode was in a different art style.
And the last episode, urrrgh...
For some reason, for one character, I forgot what his name was, during his scenes, they did this weird artsy bullshit in which his words appeared on-screen which were read out by the narrator. This made absolutely no sense and sort of bugged the crap out of me.
The worst part is, that wasn't even the conclusion to the story. From my knowledge the show got cancelled. Which made sense I guess, considering all the bullshit I just mentioned above. The show attempted to take it's show in a weird direction and it ultimately killed itself. Which is a shame, from what I've read in the manga version I really liked it.
EDIT: Well shit, I'm watching the first episode again. Damn you theme song, Y U SO GOOD?? X(

Air Gear for sure, it ends and you're just wanting more, much much more.
I agree here. They could have taken that anime and done an incredible ending, and what the hell was it so heavy in the Matrix reference for? I get why they referenced it, kind of makes sense to go that route, but c'mon.Konaerix said:
Soul Eater was a massive letdown by the end. The last two episodes start strong at first, but turn into nonsense. Majority of the last arc goes like that, actually.
Animes in general do like to pull the 'story's over...but here's a possibility to think about' ending a lot, which makes finishing one a sad experience, but I think in general it works for the genre. Soul Eater though...I won't spoil anything, but it's one of the more ridiculous conclusions I've seen in the sense that the ending is undeserved.
There's even a major point of deus ex machina that...doesn't do anything, and then is immediately forgotten. My mind boggles trying to figure out why it would be included at all.
Also Blood+. For the most part, I liked the ending, and I'd consider it an anime that gets better the longer you watch, but:
Just give him your freaking blood! The most heart-breaking thought for Saya is losing....uh, I forget his name (it's been a long while), and his problem is that he feels useless next to all the blood-powered creatures. Both problems are solved by her giving him blood, making him powerful enough to protect people and letting him live long enough to be there for her when she reawakens.
I must have waited over 15 episodes for them to figure it out, but they never even bring up the possibility. It wasn't a horrible ending, but it was frustrating in that regard.

I'm surprised no one brought this up sooner. Trigun is still one of my favorite shows of all time and the concept in general was really cool, but that ending just left me scratching my head. I loved knives and i wished they had fleshed out his character more. The two parallels used with Vash and Knives to examine morality could have been really cool. Instead we just got kind of a weak final battle.Rednog said:I'll be honest, most anime endings are really terrible, they either jump the shark during the finale or give you a giant plate of mess. I wonder if it is because a lot are finished before the manga they are based off end.
About a month ago someone forced me to sit through all of Trigun at once, and I was like oh man I really enjoy this....wait what is this space children nonsense....oh god make it end! Why? Why did you go this route?!
Eva has an amazing ending, but it's just something you have to think about. Initially yes, on a gut level the ending doesn't make a lot of sense, but after some thought and analysis it makes some powerful philosophical statements and wraps up the main subtext of the series i.e. the relation of identity to others and the profound psychological effects this identity struggle can have. It's actually better if you watch the movie then the series ending since technically that's how it should be chronologically.MPerce said:
Orphen. The first season was fine, but the second season was just a bunch of generic gag/comedy episodes like the ones you'd see in Slayers. Hell, even the characters start leaning that way. I dunno, I guess it could also be attributed to the fact that it's no longer personal for the main character. In the end, all the real plot development takes place in the last few episodes, with deus ex machinas popping in left and right for the sake of cohesion. It results in what can only be another generic feel-good ending almost any clone anime has. That is what the anime becomes in the end. It's not bad, truly. It starts off truly powerful in its own right, but turns into another copy in the end.
