Worst Anime Endings

[TheCrowsCry]

THIS THREAD CONTAINS SPOILERS



I think it goes to Gantz. It has no closure and leaves you questioning the anime. It is a shame...

[Leader Desslock]

I thought Last Exile had a pretty crapola ending, but since I was ultimately grateful that the series did end and I didn't have to watch any more of it, I would not classify the ending as the worst I've seen.

The worst ending I've seen might be M.D.Geist. I'm quite sure that the producers of the film intended the ending to be ominous. The fact that I laughed aloud indicates to me that they may have missed the mark by just a teensy bit.

[Blue Thunder]

I didn't like how the original bubblegum crisis ended, or bubblegum crash for that matter. Come to think of it, I don't think I liked the ending of the more recent BGC either. Maybe it would have helped if they actually ended the first BGC too... Such a shame they never did properly end the first one, it was so good.

[DazarGaidin]

Mai Hime...lets all rape, torture, and kill each other then all spontaneously come back to life and become best friends.

[Justinian]

I thought Last Exile had a pretty crapola ending, but since I was ultimately grateful that the series did end and I didn't have to watch any more of it, I would not classify the ending as the worst I've seen.

dang, you beat me to it!

[ZeroRyoko1974]

DBZ, fight fight fight for 200+ episodes, and then after everyone has been defeeated and you are back with your family, you leave them to "train"

[ryushe]

Berserk...


Yeah, I said it.

[vectors]

Yeah Gantz and NGE

[ZeroRyoko1974]

Berserk...


Yeah, I said it.

you just had to go and remind us....

[lmc87]

Shuffle! - Not because the ending was bad. Mainly because the second half of the show is completley different from the first half.

[ZeroRyoko1974]

It would have been a better ending with Kaede killing everyone

[Randometic_Poet]

I think that Last Exile's ending was not bad, but it was a little confuzing and it kept you guessing quite a bit. Like the questions regarding Dio Eraclea's death - All too confuzing for a abrupt ending like Last Exile

[loplop]

Waits for the massive EVA postings to occur . . . .

OT: Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou

[Ken-Ohki]

Shuffle! was the worst ending I've ever seen in an anime ever. Made me want to find the producers and kill them.

[Yukito Kunisaki]

I never saw the series, but I heard Fruits basket sucked because it only got a little passed half way of the manga.

[Brill]

Chrono Crusade- this series was fraught with so many plot holes then pulls an ending out of left field. Bleck.

[Paper_Cut]

Shuffle! was the worst ending I've ever seen in an anime ever. Made me want to find the producers and kill them.

Blasphomy!!! Shuffle! had an awsome ending. ^_^

Back on topic: Worst ending would have to be Elfen lied, though the entire anime was for the most part ****ed up.

[masakiuma]

Fruits Basket just because
1) I didnt want it to end
2) It really made me want a season 2, which I hear will never happen

and the ending of Geneshaft was pretty crappy, but I didnt really enjoy the rest of that series anyway

[Paper_Cut]

Add Canvas, Chrno Crusade, and Magikano to the list.

Always my Santa never really ended, they came out with 2 episodes of what was supposed to be a series. They even put the previews for the next episode of the series yet episode 3 was never released.

[Woooh]

Anything with a reset
Wolf's Rain, Serial Experiments Lain, and the like. These endings are so ridiculously boring and you can always see them coming from the 3rd-4th episode.

[ZeroRyoko1974]

while not the end to a series, the end of ep 28 of Naruto: Shippudin was one of the worst all times. They had been fighting dopplegangers of themselves for like ten episodes it seemed. Then to defeat them, they decide that they are just going to "get stronger" then them, so then they beat them in like 30sec.

[J Dude]

The InuYasha anime had a pretty horrible ending, considering you couldn't really even call it an ending. Let's take an anime that while was enjoyable at times, went down the pooper with loads of crappy filler and drawn out events and top it off with a nice poopy log of just ending the anime without any conclusion since Sunrise just decided it wasn't worth continuing the anime at that point I guess. It makes me laugh whenever I see the few random people on this forum (more than likely most of those people who just watch anime on Adult Swim) and act like InuYasha is such a great show. They really need to broaden their horizons. Makes me laugh at those people too who are watching it on Adult Swim and then it's just like a big slap in the face for them when they realize the anime has no ending and ruins the entire show for them.

[Lord Timaeus]

Digimon 02. For a series that was already full of plot holes and unnecessary pacifism, the final episodes never really delivered. The final boss was destroyed in just about the cheapest way imaginable, even more so than the Harry Potter ending, and also like Harry Potter, the epilogue was completely pulled out of the writers' spleen. Not to mention Ken, who started out as one of the GARest villains in Digimon, turned completely emo by the time he was defeated, and barely redeemed himself in the end.

If it weren't for Tamers being so awesome, 02 would've been my exodus from the Digimon fandom.

[YuriFanboy]

So far three of my favorite anime have been brought up in this thread:crybaby: Anyway, I'm going to have to say Berserk was the worst ending I've seen. That ending was just disturbing. I disliked the series (particularly the ending) so much that I sold the entire series to a friend for a dollar.

[MonkeyBoy0314]

Nadesico, Nadesico, Nadesico!

[masakiuma]

Chrno Crusade

...I resent that statement...

[Hajime Saitou]

Anyone who knows me knows what is in that spoiler tag. You know.

Shuffle!

But yeah, Canvas 2 beat the snot out of that. At least Shuffle!(oops!) rubbed it in my face for about 6 episodes, but Canvas 2 just squeezed it in after the credits finished and took off running.

Hey look, a thread about contradictions in anime. Excuse me. :)

Edit- Forgot Kashimashi. Copout ending is copout. :thumbsup:

[Tuna]

Oh, NGE, most definitely - the entire ending puts you in such *head tilt*"Mrah?" mode that your noggin is likely to spin completely around before it's over...
@.@

[JuraBasilElden]

Vandread's ending was crapola. Ditto for Robotech.

[Bernard_Monsha]

The worst ending I've seen might be M.D.Geist.

You know this is a lie! I have never been so greatful in my life to see the ending credits, neither has anyone else.

The original FMP's ending sucked.

[Scandiadream]

Nothing beats the end of "Petite Princess Yucie" on how bad it was. The show had been awesome- but the ending totally ruined it.

[lav2k4]

I think it goes to Gantz. It has no closure and leaves you questioning the anime. It is a shame...

Because the Manga is still on going. The anime is pretty much a 26 episode series that advertises the manga, pretty much the same can be said for Berserk, and other series that gets gayed.

[Levon]

How about A Wind Named Amnesia? A movie that was pretty good, then it just ended out of nowhere with a silly ending.

Main character finds out the girl is an alien and he has sex with her. The end. WTF?


Berserk...


Yeah, I said it.

I don't consider it having an ending:P Its an incomplete anime where you have to ethier read the manga or wait for more of the anime(I can dream).

[TheCrowsCry]

Blasphomy!!! Shuffle! had an awsome ending. ^_^

Back on topic: Worst ending would have to be Elfen lied, though the entire anime was for the most part ****ed up.

I have only seen 2 eps of EL but how does it end?

[333jeffery]

Hellsing had a pretty terrible ending. I'm glad Hellsing Ultimate is out now....

[Woooh]

I have only seen 2 eps of EL but how does it end?

Lucy may or may not die, and everyone lives happily or unhappily ever after, depending on how you look at it.

[DazarGaidin]

I didn't think EL ending was all that bad, i've seen far worse. It's an ending that kinda gives you hope that its not all over like you thought...not sure whats wrong with that. Movies do it all the time. Then again, i didn't read the manga and people complained the ending diverged from it so..*shrug*

[Soaker87]

Wolfs Rain is the worst I've ever seen, but Mai HiME was pretty bad too. Also, Kage Kara Mamoru was another dumb reset ending.

[TheCrowsCry]

Lucy may or may not die, and everyone lives happily or unhappily ever after, depending on how you look at it.

I was hoping that the people who helped her were killed and she goes into a killing spree.

[DazarGaidin]

I was hoping that the people who helped her were killed and she goes into a killing spree.

I think you should just loops the first few minutes of episode 1 and you will be happy lol

[TheCrowsCry]

Lol it gets old...Didnt gundam seed have a bad ending? I cant recall.

[u_nick]

Kashimashi. I actually liked the resolution, and who the main character 'chose' but the way they handled it, with sloppy pacing and... words i cant quite explain... made me angry at it. LOL.

I'll look back at the past two pages, but so far, for the record, i loved both the Elfen Lied and Shuffle endings. :)

What I REALLY hate is non-endings. When a story just stops, or when a couple FINALLY gets a LITTLE closer, but still arent TOGETHER. But it happens so much, I'm used it by now, LOL. :P

Inuyasha *Cough* >.>

[Levon]

Lol it gets old...Didnt gundam seed have a bad ending? I cant recall.

I don't think SEED had a bad ending at all. Whats bad about it?
SEED's last episodes were very intense & emotional I thought. Way better than the start of the show.

[gameoffreak8]

Movies do it all the time. Then again, i didn't read the manga and people complained the ending diverged from it so..*shrug*

I also think the ending on Elfen Lied is not worst. I'm be damned if the ending on Claymore is not good. If it's worst ending, then Madhouse = FAIL.

[Majic]

Elfen Died

I was hoping that the people who helped her were killed and she goes into a killing spree.
Ironically enough, that would be a very legitimate interpretation of what the ending implied. Then again, that's only one possible interpretation among many.

Getting back to worst endings, I would have to say:

1. Evangelion.
2. End of Evangelion.

That is all. :P

[Woooh]

Wolfs Rain is the worst I've ever seen, but Mai HiME was pretty bad too. Also, Kage Kara Mamoru was another dumb reset ending.

I'm with you here, I despise reset endings. It just seems like a lazy way out of things, and you can ALWAYS see them coming right away.

[Levon]

I'm with you here, I despise reset endings. It just seems like a lazy way out of things, and you can ALWAYS see them coming right away.

It pretty much made everything that came before it all meaningless<_< It was the lazy way out to have a happy ending.

Got your copy of Anime Insider did you?

[u_nick]

Oh yeah, Maburaho.

It had everything, the 'almost get together factor' along with the 'we know more story is coming later' factor, but to top it all off, they INTRODUCED A NEW CHARACTER! In the final minutes of the final episode!

[Stelok]

Tsukihime, because they killed Arcueid

Black Lagoon's second season.

Ai Yori Aoshi: Enishi

Hungry Heart~ Wild Striker

[autsiticanime]

Bubblegum crisis 2040
O.K, so Nene and Linna on an island IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE and Priss is in the desert IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. Um not sounding stupid, but, DOES ANYONE CARE TO RESCUE THEM WITHOUT ME GUESSING? that annoyed me.

[Thousand Eyes]

Spiral - The ending left many questions unanswered and mysteries unsolved. I heard the Manga was never finished.

Mai-Hime - Resurrections? It ruined what positives the Anime had going for it.

Tenjo Tenge - Inconclusive teaser ending.

Shuffle! - It's back to square one as if nothing has changed and all the girls are alright with the main protagonist's girl choice, who did a lot less than the others.

Trinity Blood - A dumb ending and one I can barely remember. He leaves and roams elsewhere. Yay.

Code Geass - Not the best way to end season one after such a long wait. It should have had a self-contained ending with just enough for the viewer to anticipate the next season without leaving so many questions hanging.

[DazarGaidin]

I get the feeling there will be some claymore posts in here next wed :P

[Levon]

Tsukihime, because they killed Arcueid


A main character dies and its the worse ending because of that? You must hate Tomino endings.

[Ariel Tsuki]

I don't think SEED had a bad ending at all. Whats bad about it?
SEED's last episodes were very intense & emotional I thought. Way better than the start of the show.

Oh, it sucked hardcore. I was waiting for a payoff but it didn't deliever. It was pretty tepid... and it doesn't help that SEED Destiny managed the rape the ONE good about the last epsiode.

They brought Mwu back to life. Ugh. He was the second and last person that I cared about and got 'killed' (although Tolle really did die, I still wince of Tolle's head rolling from the cockpit). Should've saw that coming when Andrew managed to get out of a high impossible explosion at the battle in the desert. Damn.

But I wouldn't say its one of the worst ending I saw especially since I hate SEED saga except some of the characters that were unfortunately misused and the awesome music of TM Revolution.

But let's go to the worst endings ever, the Ariel Tsuki edition:

1) Wolf's Rain: I with the people who hated this ending. Dear god, I wish I can unsee that travesty because it was a really good show until that point.

2) Digmon 02: I second this one, but I did actually like the final battle and though Ken was understandaby emo but that epilogue scene PRETTTTTTTY much made me hate Digimon for the next few years until I watched Tamers when I was in college and started to watch it again until halfway though Frontier (mostly because of schedule conflicts really).

3) Last Exile: I love this show, I really did. The first 25 episodes were excellent and fun to watch then GONZO managed to goof up the last episode. It was like "LOL, I totally forgot that the last episode is next episode, guys!". *sigh* To this day, I thought that the series need an extra two episodes to really end it well.

4) Full Metal Alchemist: It committed the same sin as Last Exile, that is rushing things. The movie fleshed it out a bit more but it really can't make that up for that fail TV ending.

[mdauben]

I can't believe this thread has gone on for four pages, and no one has mentioned the worst ending in the entire history of anime....

Mahoromatic ~something more beautiful~:$%&#!:

I have never before or since had the ending of an anime make me so mad. I wanted to toss my compute out the window. I wanted to hunt down the writers and producers of that travesty and hurt them. I wanted to scrub the whole, horrible thing from my brain.

There have been other endings I though were bad like His and Her Circumstances, Neon Genesis Evangellion, Shuffle!, and some of the others already mentioned here, but none of them reached the depths of suckitude that the ending of Mahoromatic did. >_<

[lunarvesperia]

I hate bad endings,especially in good series...
I liked Kare Kano so much and the last episodes (3 of them i think ) were pure...cr@p?Other anime bad endings are those that you expect some ending,and the last episodes leave you expecting more....

[Phantom]

Just forget about the last episode of Mahoromatic. I was so disappointed after buying the whole series just for it to end that way. Just tell yourself that the series ended at episode 25.

[DazarGaidin]

I forced myself to stop watching mahoromatic after the first season cause the reviews i saw of the ending :D

[Phantom]

I forced myself to stop watching mahoromatic after the first season cause the reviews i saw of the ending :D

Oh you can watch it as long as you avoid the last episode. Just tell yourself that its a alternate ending. A depressing alternate ending.

[DazarGaidin]

Well my logic was that the end of the first season was a sort of conclusion, and it was happy, so i was happy lol I didn't want to spoil it ;)

[Hajime Saitou]

Mahoromatic ~something more beautiful~

You know, I had completely forgotten about that until you just reminded me. :P I would have mentioned it, if I hadn't purged that evil thing from my brain. :lol:

So yeah, Mahoromatic.

Well my logic was that the end of the first season was a sort of conclusion, and it was happy, so i was happy lol I didn't want to spoil it ;)

But you still don't know what's going to happen to her! :lol:

There was no way I could leave it at that and move on, but if you're looking for a happy ending, then...you probably(:shifty:) shouldn't continue.

[DazarGaidin]

I just pretend in my own feebled mind that her devotion to him overcomes her deadline! hazzah! :P I don't have the dvd anymore but didnt she throw in a line at the end like 'ill be with you forever ' or something ..or did my brain insert that? :P

[Hajime Saitou]

didnt she throw in a line at the end like 'ill be with you forever ' or something

Oh man...:lol:

Well, she says that in the second to last episode, right before...

[Ariel Tsuki]

I can't believe this thread has gone on for four pages, and no one has mentioned the worst ending in the entire history of anime....

Well, just crap, when I managed to reach the stage to erase this out of my mind, it becomes roaring back. Ugh, and stupid, stupid me went against my close friend's warnings and watched it because I saw all episodes except the last one. I was preparing myself to be bawling at the end of the episode when Mahoro's timer went up.

Damn, do I ever believe, moreso than before, that Mahoromatic Season 2 has to be one of the worst anime endings ever. Totally cheats you out of a very memorable and emotional ending. Damn Gainax.

[rhk0327]

Someone mentioned Nadesico. I really liked that series (which diverges heavily away from the manga but remains good imho), and hated the movie at first. Then I found out (thank you internet) what happens between the series and the movie. After that I had to admit the movie was pretty cool.

[Arch-Defender]

I don't know if anyone mentioned it but although the series was great, the ending of Venus Versus Virus really sucks.

[DrewM1990]

to everyone who hates mahoromatic's anime ending, read the manga ending, you won't be dissapointed.

I hate non-endings where the story is not revolved.
primary examples would be harem manag were the story is about the guy picking 1 girl out of the many who wnat him but by the time we get to the end he still hasn't chosen.
not all are harem shows as Gantz and Berserk fall under this category.
Others include Rave Master, fame of recca, Kekkaishi, Zero no Tsukaima, GetBackers.

any endings that kill of the main protagonists piss me off, wolf's rain especially, i prefer to think that those 4 ova episodes dont exist.

chrono crusade, i stopped at episode 23 where rosette and chrono mysteriously vanish without a trace as the ending rather than continuing into episode 24 in which we learn what happens to them. by stopping at 23 you can make up your own mind about what they do.

the ova of rorouni kenshin that they decided to make, what a load of utter crap that was, not the prequal ova, the sequal ova where he goes of to fight in a war and gets some weird disease or sumthin. they should just animated the last arc of the manga instead the ending is 10000x better.

i generally hate long running manga getting short animes that cover a part of the manga or follows/creates its own plot, like samurai deeper kyo, bamboo blade, ah my goddess, negima.
If you dont intend to animate the whole thing properly then dont bloody animate it.

[Reven]

The ending to the School Days anime.

/thread.

Although Kanokon and Onii Chan No Koto Nanka also deserve dishonorable mentions as well :P

[Arch-Defender]

chrono crusade, i stopped at episode 23 where rosette and chrono mysteriously vanish without a trace as the ending rather than continuing into episode 24 in which we learn what happens to them. by stopping at 23 you can make up your own mind about what they do.

Speaking of Chrono Crusade, can anyone tell me why Aion is still alive at the end, we see him pass father Remington at Rome.

[sailornyanko]

Vandread's ending was crapola.

I personally liked it but it left things heavily open for a third season. Kind of wished the final battle had happened on Earth itself. You just know that just because you destroyed the best ship in the fleet that there aren't some people on Earth still that will find another way to take revenge.

The InuYasha anime had a pretty horrible ending, considering you couldn't really even call it an ending. It makes me laugh whenever I see the few random people on this forum (more than likely most of those people who just watch anime on Adult Swim) and act like InuYasha is such a great show. They really need to broaden their horizons.

I agree, the show started great and after Naraku appears the show sort of goes downhill from there on. The sort of road movie feel of the early episodes finding the random pieces of the pearl are pretty much cut short because Naraku somehow finds most of them on his own and he keeps on getting more and more powerful DBZ style. Then the Sango will save my dead (barely alive, mostly comatose) brother just drags on, Miroku's hand curse doesn't really progress that much, Sesshomaru develops a little bit but I would have liked him to appear more often. I liked the arc with the revived 7 criminals and the bipolar doctor crook dude but the following arcs were horrible. Then they land you with an open ending to the anime and WTF? The worst is that the manga does continue with another 50 filler arcs just changing name of villain of the week and then give a generic ending. The show had a lot of promise too.

Bubblegum crisis 2040
O.K, so Nene and Linna on an island IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE and Priss is in the desert IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. Um not sounding stupid, but, DOES ANYONE CARE TO RESCUE THEM WITHOUT ME GUESSING? that annoyed me.

But.. they are naked! NAKED!! And Nene and Linna together, yeah, I can smell the yuri doujins from a mile away!!! Nene's relationship with Sylia's brother Maki wouldn't last much anyways because he can't become older like normal people, he's like a bioandroid or something.

Someone mentioned Nadesico. I really liked that series (which diverges heavily away from the manga but remains good imho), and hated the movie at first. Then I found out (thank you internet) what happens between the series and the movie. After that I had to admit the movie was pretty cool.

I admit it's a good movie with an interesting plot and good animation. However I REALLY REALLY hated it. The problem is that for better or worse the movie was dubbed first to spanish years before the tv series and it gave me a feeling that the tv series was also going to be an emo dramafest. The movie also doesn't give a good introduction about the battle between Earth and the rebels and WHY the rebels were in this war in the first place. They could have said it was to obtain independence but they don't and so half of the movie you're scratching your head wondering what the plot of the movie even is about anyways.

-------

As for which anime has an AWFUl ending, I'd say B't X. I can understand why they cut the OAV series short to only 13 episodes because the anime wasn't popular and it was unlikely they are going to be able to produce another 13 episodes (more than enough to properly finish the story) so they EPIC rushed things. I can understand they cut out filler fights, but in the last episode the 4 generals and Teppei are reunited for the first time ever with their Betas about to fight the final enemy in a probably suicide mission and right before the epic battle starts the screen goes white and you see a lame scene of Karen reading a book to some children about how the 5 heroes saved the day. Huh??! I want my final battle!!!! :$%&#!:

[Caster13]

Holy ****ing....This thread is almost 4 YEARS OLD!! Dammit afw stop necroing threads!!

I realized something was up when I saw Ariel Tsuki's name. *looks back through the thread* Wow, I haven't seen these names in a loooong time. Why did so many of them leave?

[KatayokuのTenshi]

Someone mentioned Nadesico. I really liked that series (which diverges heavily away from the manga but remains good imho)

The anime came first. The author of the manga (who was the character designer or art director or some such) rewrote the story to (among other things) tie it in to another manga he'd written. Edit:... person who hasn't been around for four years.

Speaking of Chrono Crusade, can anyone tell me why Aion is still alive at the end, we see him pass father Remington at Rome.

He's got this whole "As long as there is evil in the hearts of men I will continue" thing going on...

MSN Prince of Darkness

Many of the problems that came up in the movie were due to the fact that, at various times, it was planned to be three movies or another tv series. In the end they got screwed over so I guess they just threw together whatever they had that sort of worked. The movie wouldn't have been so bad if Instead of saying that Akito will come back when he's done being emo (or words to that effect) he was done being emo.

[Arch-Defender]

He's got this whole "As long as there is evil in the hearts of men I will continue" thing going on...

Well that sucks, Rosette and Chrono die but he gets to go on.

[Kagura]

InuYasha had the worst open-ended endings I've seen. ><

[Arnold]

InuYasha had the worst open-ended endings I've seen. ><

That wasn't the real ending. The ending's the last few episodes of Inuyasha: Final Act, which I thought was solid.

[Rahxephon91]

Nadeisco The Prince of Darkness as now this fantastic series has no conclusion what so ever.

[Arnold]

Witchblade. The most ******** anticlimactic ending ever.

[ThePhillyFlash]

Well, because it can't get blasted enough:

Neon. Genesis. Freaking. Evangelion.

'nuff said.

[Arnold]

Well, because it can't get blasted enough:

Neon. Genesis. Freaking. Evangelion.

'nuff said.

I thought EoE was spectacular.

[LOSTyears]

^It was *nods* he might of meant the series end in which case would be understandable though I have known folks who did like it...........or he might of meant both ^_^ some hate Eva that much.

[Arnold]

I agree in that had it just been the TV series ending by itself I would have been pissed off, but knowing that EoE was also around I was able to enjoy both and thought they complemented each other well.

[Alex Decay]

Air Gear.

Sidenote: All who said Death Note are wrong.

[superplough]

EoE was much better than the TV series ending but it still was pretty ridiculous

[ladyshiro]

Well that sucks, Rosette and Chrono die but he gets to go on.

Chrono died by choice. He didn't want to out live Rosette.

[Taleen]

Sola-shinobi-Monte cristo :'(

[old hat]

I thought EoE was spectacular.

I thought they both stank.

[ThePhillyFlash]

^It was *nods* he might of meant the series end in which case would be understandable though I have known folks who did like it...........or he might of meant both ^_^ some hate Eva that much.

Well, I've never seen EoE, nor do I intend to either. One cactus up the rear end from the conclusion of the TV show was more than enough for me.

[autsiticanime]

But.. they are naked! NAKED!! And Nene and Linna together, yeah, I can smell the yuri doujins from a mile away!!! Nene's relationship with Sylia's brother Maki wouldn't last much anyways because he can't become older like normal people, he's like a bioandroid or something.

Naked or not I didn't feel I got closure.

DID THEY EVEN GET F**KIN RESCUED? THEY WERE ALL (except Sylia) IN THE MIDDLE OF F**KIN NOWHERE FOR PETES SAKE!

[ThePhillyFlash]

Naked or not I didn't feel I got closure.

DID THEY EVEN GET F**KIN RESCUED? THEY WERE ALL (except Sylia) IN THE MIDDLE OF F**KIN NOWHERE FOR PETES SAKE!

I would agree with that assessment. I remember reading several years ago that there was supposed to have been a sequel (BGC: Tokyo 2041), but it never came to pass.

[Arnold]

Well, I've never seen EoE, nor do I intend to either. One cactus up the rear end from the conclusion of the TV show was more than enough for me.

EoE was the "real world" (i.e. outside of Shinji's head) complement to the TV series ending and it really works well as a different perspective on similar events.

Like i said, I would have hated the TV series ending too if it were just left alone like that. It's worth checking out, IMO.

[Rahxephon91]

The "real world" ending of the tv show is just 1 of the ideas on the ending. The other is the idea that they depict 2 different conclusions of completion.

[ThePhillyFlash]

EoE was the "real world" (i.e. outside of Shinji's head) complement to the TV series ending and it really works well as a different perspective on similar events.

Well, maybe if those rocket scientists hadn't made such a clusterf*ck of the TV show, they wouldn't have had to make the movies in order to cobble up a new ending. Just sayin'.

[old hat]

This Ugly Yet Beautiful World had a pretty bad ending.

[Arnold]

Well, maybe if those rocket scientists hadn't made such a clusterf*ck of the TV show, they wouldn't have had to make the movies in order to cobble up a new ending. Just sayin'.

Or maybe they did that on purpose. It's not like Evangelion hasn't been something of a cash cow for Gainax over the last 15 years or so.

[sailornyanko]

EoE was the "real world" (i.e. outside of Shinji's head) complement to the TV series ending and it really works well as a different perspective on similar events.

Like i said, I would have hated the TV series ending too if it were just left alone like that. It's worth checking out, IMO.

Especially because Gendo Ikari get's what he deserves in the movie. :devil:

Maya Ibuki wussies up epic time in the film though. Was she secretly in love with Ritsuko or something? When they all see Lilith they all seem to see someone they love but what the guitar guy Aoba sees kind of never made sense to me. He had no love interests? Sad chump.

I just realized I never posted in this thread. Even though I have a page on bad endings on my site.
My least favs include:
End Of Eva
Steam Detectives (frustrating way to end it. Could have resolved questions with one extra scene)
First Full Metal Alchemist Movie. Heart breaking a bit and foreboding.
L/R. Underrated series that went a few minutes to long. I mean seriously what in the world where the creators thinking?

This Ugly Yet Beautiful World had a pretty bad ending.

*thinks*

*thinks harder*

What so bad about it?

[old hat]

It was stupid, incoherent, nonsensical, a total copout and so on. If you watched it and don't know, I can't explain it to you.

[KT Kore]

The whole show was bad. The ending continued the trend.

[ThePhillyFlash]

Then there's the rage-inducing crapstorm that was the ending to Mahoromatic: Something More Beautiful. AARGGH!! :angry:

I just don't remember. -_-;

[dragonrider_cod]

Chrono died by choice. He didn't want to out live Rosette.

This is actually why I prefer the ending of the anime to that of the magna.

[ArcaJ]

Ahem...

Yami to Boushi to Han no Tabibito:

Hazuki chases Hatsumi across All Time and Space just to be with her and what does Hatsumi say in return?

I will return as your child.


:blink:

[sailornyanko]

Well that sucks, Rosette and Chrono die but he gets to go on.

And what I don't get is if Aion no longer has his horns, where in the hell is he getting his astral energy from??? The anime doesn't explain this!!

[Arch-Defender]

Maybe he found a human contractor or something like that.

The only chum I could see being willing to do such a thing would be Fiore, she pretty much idolizes the guy.

+1

Mahoromatic is my choice for the single worst ending in anime history. What a total piece of crap that was. I could rage for pages about everything that was bad about it. :angry:

Another bad, although not rage-inducingly bad ending was His and Her Circumstances (aka Kare Kano). The creator evidently left half way through season, and it was like the production team just stopped even trying and just threw each episode togther over too many beers. :rolleyes:

Well, the ending to Mahoromatic 2 was godawful, still raises my hackles to this day, but it doesn't come close to the hideous abomination of an ending to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Now THERE'S something to blow a gasket over! :angry:

And what do all those shows have in common? They came from the warped minds at GAINAX. They might something against crafting anime with coherent, fulfilling endings.

[DazarGaidin]

kare kano went from good to bad almost instantly. The plot/dialog and definitely the animation (as it were).

[evilmunkeee]

It's not the worst but I really disliked how Witch Hunter Robin ended.

[JuraBasilElden]

It's not the worst but I really disliked how Witch Hunter Robin ended.Ditto. Same with Cowboy Bebop.

[Arch-Defender]

It's not the worst but I really disliked how Witch Hunter Robin ended.

This might be a little off topic but I just bought Witch Hunter Robin and noticed that US ratings for movies are way too high, this is rated 13+ in the US and here in Québec it's rated G, that's one major age difference if you ask me.

Back on topic, the worst ending as got to be Venus Versus Virus, I said it before and say it again because it was really bad. The second worst would have to be Nadesico or Black Cat.

[DrewM1990]

Wich Hunter Robin is rated 15 in the UK

how'd the black cat anime end?
av only ever read the manga which has a pretty good end

[Arch-Defender]

What sucks about the Black Cat ending is mostly the way it was made, it looked like it should have taken more than a two part episode.

I think that the US rating of Witch Hunter Robin is a nice safe rating. Witch Hunter Robin is not an anime series that 5 or 10 year-olds should be watching (first of all they would not understand the series and there is a little too much violence for children of that age to watch.) So, I agree with Bandai rating Witch Hunter Robin as PG13 in the US.

[Arch-Defender]

^Personally I think US ratings (which are also almost the same as Canada's except for Québec) are boosted way too high, I mean Ergo Proxy is rated 16+. The ratings are based on the fact that people under that age will not watch it and since this is not case (when I was at school people were watching stuff way worst than this show) it is not practical to have ratings that do not reflect reality.

The ending of Chrono Crusade, it was not bad but I think it really sucks that Aion lives while Rosette and Chrono die.

[old hat]

That's a pretty big spoiler.

[Arch-Defender]

Corrected, sorry for the spoiler.

Well I completely disagree about the rating system being too high. Yes, I know that some teenagers and children are going to sneak off and watch stuff behind their parents backs; however, the rating system does have a purpose and it helps parents decide whether or not to go see or buy a movie (including video games, TV series and anime) for their child or teenager. I feel that Ergo Proxy is rated just fine (it's not a series that a 10 or a 13 year-old should be watching anyways.)

Back on topic-

Sacred Blacksmith - The ending was really left open and it should have had a second season.

I know it's a bit of an off topic conversation but I got to know, why do you think Ergo Proxy is properly rated, the show almost has no violence and it's certainly is light even compared to certain 13+ shows I have seen.

On a side note, what makes laugh the most about ratings is how they will rate a movie 16+ for suggestive content (sex scene without pornography) or for too much violence but put the two together and it's rated 18+ (at least in Canada). So a 16 years old is mature enough to see both those stuff but put together in the same movie he can't watch what he could when it was in two different movies.

Back on topic, I had completely forgotten about Najica, there was one lame ending.

The series is definitely meant for a mature audience (the story is complex, dark, and it's a philosophical thriller etc.) and yes, there is violence. I really don’t understand how you cannot see that it’s meant for a mature audience…are you really saying that young children or even early teenagers should be seeing this?

[Arch-Defender]

I'm saying there far more violent shows that are rated 13+ in the US and saying it's complex is like saying kids can't understand complex stories which is not true, like with adults, it depends on who is watching. Lots of adults would not understand the show and their age as nothing to do with it. The only thing that surprises me about the show is the fact that I have seen high rated shows like Genocyber and Elfen Lied which had their good share of violence and a justified high rating in Québec but Ergo Proxy does not even come close to either of those shows, there's what, two or three short violent scenes in it with one against robots. If you ask me, when it comes to rating parents can only trust themselves, I mean a show can be rated TV-MA in the US, 15+ in the UK and 13+ in Québec, if everyone makes a different rating than who is right.

As for the topic at hand, can anyone tell me what happened at the end of Najica because there a few things I did not understand.

[DazarGaidin]

Monad literally slaughters a hundred innocent people in a mall, including a child in a carriage. Hell i found Iggy disturbing and im a grown man. Pino's best friend gets ruthlessly killed, that pretty deep for a little kid. Id say at least PG 13 but 16 is more comfy.

[Arch-Defender]

^13+, that was the rating in Québec if I remember correctly.
