Most Disappointing ending (Spoiler Warning)

[Pyode]

I am pretty sure I just watched the original Full metal Alchemist. My knowledge of anime ends wherever Adult Swim leaves it. Is the FMA: Brotherhood a sequel series or the comicbook manga?

It's sort of complicated. The original FMA followed the manga but, because it is faster to make the anime than the manga (I have no idea why this is), the anime eventually caught up with the manga, so the producers of the anime decided to let the it branch of into a completely different storyline.

Now, with FMA: Brotherhood, they were able follow the manga all the way through to the conclusion. The result is that, for the first 1/3 of both shows, they are almost exactly the same but then branch off into separate directions with the original FMA deciding to go with the "nonsensical convoluted mess" approach and with Brotherhood deciding to take the opposite rout.

I have to admit though, I appreciate them making the effort to not make the same mistake as Naruto by doing 60+ episodes of useless filler.

Edit:

This summer I have been having a strange anime craze(not a big fan), and just got finished watching two shows. The first was Yuyu Hakusho, and just now I got finished watching Full Metal Alchemist.

One thing that struck me. The endings were extremely disappointing. On both shows they rushed the endings, and on FMA they stuck all the closures of all the characters in the last 8 minutes.

So what was your most disappointing show ending. (doesn't have to be anime)

Wait for Brotherhood to finish or read the manga. It works out in the end. Trust me. MUCH BETTER ENDING.

As an explanation, when Hughes dies the anime and manga split. The anime was produced faster than the manga so it had to make up it own plot as it went on. It followed the same loose points (and I do mean loose), but it wasn't following the manga anymore. The manga went in a different direction than the anime, following the same loose points, but in a more definite direction. It works out wonderfully. Also Chinese/Japanese looking people kick ass. Just a heads up.

Fucking Ninjas

I am told that the manga is better and the new FMA is much better but still... after a awesome story like that.

The manga is MUCH better. Brotherhood(the new anime adaption that follows the manga) is (mostly) the same up until the Dublith arc, but then it differentiates wildly from the first anime adaption (in a good way, obviously), oh and no silly wrath kid!

Though if you want more of the first adaption there's a movie called Conquerors of Shambala

I thought the finale of Heroes in both series 1 and series 2 (the latter partially justified due to the writers' strike) were disappointing. The first was way too cliche and the second was clearly rushed.

Also by no fault of its own Red Dwarf. Having ended on a hilarious cliffhanger, the show got cancelled. Which is always unfortunate.

[small][sub]But now there's a new series coming so maybe we will find out what happened in typical hilarious fashion![/sub][/small]

It's not a show, but i'll say FEAR 2 ending is the weirdest, craziest and most disappointing ending i encountered in my life.

Spoiler

I knew we were Alma's son since the beginning. Once i pick that Soldier report about Becket, i knew it. That and your dead teammate that said to you her children was stolen from her. But at the end, you fought a crazy... (can't recall his name). Then, you see Alma, who is dead btw, pregnant. She pick up your(Becket) hand, you fight her a bit but she put it on her newly pregnant stomach. So, in retrospect. I inseminate my own dead mother? And you are still tied up in a sphere by the end. WHAT THE HELL?

I hate not knowing any of this. I would have probably just watched Brotherhood instead.

Spoiler: Bioshock2

If Sophia dies, then you die as well. So Elanor smothers Sophia with a pillow (SHOWS HOW GREAT OF A MOTHER SHE TURNED OUT TO BE EH) then I woke up strapped to a table, whereupon a little sister shanked me and I became the little sister. What the fuck? Then I ended up killing some guy who led me along and was pretty much my only friend in the game besides Sofia. Then we got in a boat or something that was starting to flood but wait that shouldn't matter right we don't breathe. Then I somehow got to the surface and then I didn't really get what was happening, pretty much a WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING! Bioshock 1 had one of the best endings ever.

Spoiler: Fallout 3

Before broken steel
General Autumn, AKA the big bad southerner, shot me with his PEW PEW PEW. Then I cut his face up with my Ripper as though his face was a pizza. Now suddenly this purifier has to be turned on HEY WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE isn't the purifier supposed to CLEAN radiation from the water? Why is it suddenly radio active? Fucking epic plot hole.

Evangelion comes to mind, I didn't like the whole psychological bits at the end at all.
Especially sense I really liked the rest of the anime.

 

[Endron27]

Anyone else watch all of the Ranma 1/2 series?, where at the end they are just like "bye!"....and thats literally IT! Pissed me off so much

 

[Daipire]

Fable 2. What a fantastic boss fight and closure that was.

I rather liked the boss fight, I'd hate...

Spoiler

...having to run around, dodging attacks from some old fart for 10 minutes, fearing for my virtual life. I preferred his ass served to me on a silver platter.

[dontcallmemuffin]

The point of (look at spolier box) was because you were supposed to be presented as the "hero of the land"
Quit complaining and get Broken Steel.

 

[Magnalian]

Not exactly a show, but the ending to Law Abiding Citizen was just disappointing. It would have worked if they cut the movie off 2/3 minutes earlier.

 

[Crayzor]

Code Geass. Not a bad ending, but certainly not the one I wanted.

 

[putowtin]

Rever shoots him before me.

Gerrrr!
