Horrible, how do you figure? I actually thought it was pretty good. Suree it may seemed like a typical cookie cutter spoiler[all the good guys reunite at the end kind of deal,] but after NGE, Bebop, etc... it was kind of refreshing. |

NO!!! Don't say that, I'm just starting to get into the series. Oh well... I have not watched a lot of anime, to be honest. Most of the stuff I've seen I have not reached the end of it. The shows that I have seen the ending to were fine, or in the case of Cowboy Bebop really good. Sad but good. But that's another topic completely, sorry about that. |

If you were replying to me regarding 3X3 Eyes, you can read it almost-monthly in Super Manga Blast. There are also several trade paperbacks available. ------RM |

I think that's because the manga Kare Kano isn't over yet (there's 15 tankoubons out and still going). The story switched from Yukino's story to Arima's story (his past and how it affected him) around vol.13. The anime didn't even finish the Yukino's half of the story. On top of that, the last few episodes of the anime had nothing to do with the original manga. I think that's why the ending sucked. |

Fruits Basket. I really liked the anime but the ending was kind of weak. They threw alot of dramatic stuff into the last few episodes so I couldn't wait to see episode 26 .spoiler[ I was really disappointed because it had an un ending. They did nothing to tie up all the loose ends in the plot & everyone lives happily ever after.] I expected so much more.....

I gotta say, I actually found the ending of Escaflowne refreshing-- truthful, poignant, honest... I mean, really, is she gonna want to live in a world totally seperate from her entire family for the rest of her life?? She's what, 16? Plus, I always keep in my mind that if she or Van wanted to, they can always come back to each other at a later point-- its all about the *desire* of ones wishes in Gaia, right?
As for Cowboy Bebop, I was really rather disappointed by the ending until I saw the movie. I felt it was so abrupt. However, with the movie functioning as a longer episode, you get some foreshadowing. Spike is dealing with the situation earlier on-- with the decisions he'll have to make to "wake up" and start living again-- and this lends some credence to what he does at the end of the series.... if you plug the movie into the chronology. Also, I know this is about endings that sucked-- but there are some that are great... I found the original ending of Macross, when it was originally broadcast (before it became 36 episodes long) very effecting. Wonderful really, one of my favorites. I don't even watch the "extended" version anymore, just the original 25 episodes (In the "full" version, this ending occurs at the big battle, ep 27, as they added 2 of filler episodes earlier on, as well as the extra 9 at the end, which I find anti-climatic and maudlin).. Anways, just wanted to point out that there are some endings that are great..... But yes, the endings are a typical anime problem. Look at all the sci-fi anime movies too.... |

I hated the DBZ ending. Now the anime producers knew that they were going into GT, but if this ending was a faithful translation of Toriyama's manga, who himself was retiring the series when he drew it, then he made a bad conclusion. Er, follow me here? Anyway, the anime was notorious for all this unnecessary filler, and yet the final episodespoiler[ just resolved itself so quickly, with little reaction from the characters and another unfinished tournament. ] Very disappointing.
BTW, does anyone find Miyazaki's movie endings a bit unsatisfying? Some of them seem kinda quick, particularly Kiki's. |

A few come to mind that haven't been mentioned yet.
.hack//SIGN's ending. It just sort of......ended. Witch Hunter Robin. I hated the ending. spoiler[I expected a bit more of a resolution. People with witches powers are being taken as soon as it is revealed that they have the powers now, not just when they use it for evil. There should have been some sort of liberation or something. Instead, they all die, and so does 2 main characters. Supposedly anyway.] They leave some room open for a sequel but I dunno. |

Fruits Basket manga is still going on in Hana to Yume, so there isn't an ending so far. The creators of the anime knew from the start that it was a limited run--there's an interview on the first DVD (I think)with the director that talks about it. He also did Kodomo no omocha and I have to agree that I'd rather have a limited number of great episodes without a series ending rather than 100+ with so much filler it becomes a waste to watch.... The Kare Kano manga is complete (in Japanese) but the author wasn't happy with Gainax's interpretation in the anime and the network wasn't happy with it either. Lots of (maybe most?) anime series tend to fall apart toward the end. It's really sad when the manga is really good--but at least there is another way to get the ending and the author's true intent. |

My problem with some of the funnier anime is that they silly and hilarious for most of the series, but then when they get to the end they suddenly get intensely serious. I love Eva, but if there's one problem I have with it is that at the beginning the show was almost a comedy at times, and by the end it becomes quite the psychotic nightmare. As for mangas, most writers never seem to want to end their series. Isn't Ah My Goddess still going? ^^ |

Sakura Diaries come to mind. Talk about a horrible ending.
spoiler[ The running plot has the main character Touma trying to pass his college exams, he has frequent nightmares about not passing throughout the series, and when the last episode comes, you don't learn if he passed or not!! ] |
