Usually when i pick a game/movie/anime etc I pick something that aligns quite neatly with what i want from a game/movie/anime. A solid storyline that keeps me at the edge of my seat but also develops and ends in a way i deem satisfactory is one of the things i like, mainly in movies and definitely in anime. However, sometimes i come across a storyline that develops or ends in a way i can't accept or, more accurately, don't want to accept.
A good example of this, for me, was the ending of Code Geass, season 2. Thanks for the fancy lesson in spoilerssss... Mister random numbers/ letters name guy moderator bleh.
I haven't said much about storyline development because i'm an "end justifies the means" sort of person, and i believe that as long as the ending is satisfactory the journey to it doesn't matter. But i would like to hear a few opinions on both endings and developments, which stories have seemed unsatisfactory and as a last thing, i'd like to know of any depressing, dark endings to a story that have been experienced by anyone that still seemed satisfactory.
After all, a happy ending is not always a good ending.

this is the content The ending leaves it for the audience to decide whether Lelouche is dead or not, and although i tend to think he is alive i wouldn't mind if he had become a martyr. The bit i find hard to swallow is not that he may be dead, but that the relationship between him and Kallen never blossomed. I find myself trying to re-write my memories of the series by making a tiny change in one of the later episodes, and adding an extra episode onto the end. I can imagine and ending where Lelouche and Kallen get together, either with or without him dying, but it is still unsatisfactory as it isn't the true storyline produced by the actual company itself.
I have similar feelings for the ending of the movie Hannibal, as I much prefer the ending from the book and the ending given in the movie just seems hollow.
