The Perfect Ending?

(1/10) > >>

Wizzy123:
After reading and watching alot of anime I've learned one major thing that upsets me in anime endings.

1. They defeat the final antagonist and everything is so called peaceful.

2.The story ends with no real conclusion.

3.The main character sort of disappears close to the end and somehow miraculously shows up again  >:( UTTER GARBAGE!!!

4. The ONE ENDING I HATE THE MOST is when you can't tell if the main character is dead or alive.

Honestly my perfect ending is a tragic ending. I prefer the bad guy to win or see the main character semi-broken.

Example: Death Note Ending was perfect lol.

So my question is what is your perfect ending? what do you like to see happening torwards the end as far as the character development

and conclusion.

Eh, I wasn't all that happy with the ending of Death Note, simply because of who was left standing :P
(click to show/hide)Seriously, I couldn't stand Near! If either Light or L was alive at the shows end, it would have been one of my all time favorites.
For me, a few different series have perfect endings. Cowboy Bebop, Bokurano, Witchblade and Basilisk... with Bokurano being the best of them all. It was sad, depressing, and at the same time heroic.

Yes, tragic endings are the best :D

With Death Note (click to show/hide)I think the show loses a lot of it's momentum by killing L. I've argued before that Light was nowhere near as clever as L and had to rely heavily on factors he had zero control in setting up (if cleverly combined by him) in order to manage bumping off L. But after his death Light becomes even more arrogant, increasingly sloppy, and ends up finished off by characters introduced solely as a consequence of killing L off in the first place. It makes it feel more as if his luck just ran out rather than him ever being very clever. Even as the successors of L, they lack the personality and development L had (Near in particular just being a lightweight L clone), and they just serve a purpose of finishing Light off rather than having their own motivations.

As for Haruhi, I can agree with it being a good ending. I was satisfied. Most of the series is episodic, but the connecting episodes were enjoyable and didn't go against the grain of the more self contained ones. The ending also was a fairly open one which I think worked. Because it relied so heavily on events being encapsulated into single episodes I think it just facilitated more adventures with that ending.

Elfen Lied is my all-time favorite ending becuase it didn't answer anything.
It left everything open for you to decide...

Hmm. I thought about this for awhile and couldn't come to a conclusion. Only because some endings are better suited for certain genres then others. I thought of a few endings I liked but couldn't decide, because it would be like comparing architecture. For skyscrapers, I kinda like Empire state, for homes, I kinda like ranches, for office buildings, I prefer neo-modern.
So I will choose endings I liked, sorta based on genre.
