Tired of the "Mysterious Stranger" endings.

The ending of Elfen Lied was just plain awful, even though you could probablu guess it, you still would like that little bit of closure :/

(click to show/hide)Tales of the Abyss. WHICH ONE IS IT?! FUCKING SHIT!
Both of them made promises, and it really is completely opened ended on which one it is.

Actually.. my example is slightly different, but it's very close. Specifically, an ending like yours and similar ones I really don't mind it too much.

(click to show/hide)He comes back as presumably both of them as one whole person. That show was trash though... I was expecting a retarded ending anyways, just like the rest of the show had been. It's a shame since it had such high promise in the beginning.

Eh, I suppose you usually see those type of endings coming from a mile away, anyway.

And if not, then yeah, it's cheap, unless you already know there's another season in the works. I applaud series that don't always wrap everything up nicely after a season and leave you hanging. It's good for variety.

morrefule:
you know a lot of times those endings make me want to go pick up the manga, so it doesn't really bother me as long as the anime is manga baised, because it really allows me to understand the characters in more detail.

offstandard:
it's just a bias from the american culture.  Hollywood has made it into an art of having concrete endings tying up everything and leaving nothing to the imagination (most of the time).  A lot of the films from foreign countries leave the ending open.  I'm talking about movies here and not TV series as comparison basis, but it applies, as the japanese culture is not against open endings as much as the american culture is.

The ending of Porco Rosso is "open" and you can really think whatever you want about it, although I'll argue my own view to the ending to the death haha.
