What do you prefer

Micharus:
Unlike a lot of "once upon a time" stories, where they have "Happy" endings, where everyone is happy, except for the bad guys (and sometimes them as well), I keep seeing series with endings where the 'good guys' or main characters end up being "sort of happy".

As an example, the 'good guys' win, but not the way they wanted to win, so while it is a good ending, it's not a 'happy' ending.

I can understand why some series don't end with everyone happy, sometimes it just isn't going to work out that way no matter what.

I prefer endings where at least some of the characters are happy, endings where everyone loses, like in a certain series that I won't name here, are depressing.

What do you prefer?

dbml:
I don't have an overall preference, just as long as it suits the series. Sad/dramatic series should have sad endings (or mostly sad at least), happy series should have happy endings. None of this... super depressing tale only to pull a happy ending out of its ass (Clannad! >:().

But I'm voting for sad anyways.

^^^^
i agree with DBML. I dont neceserially prefer one or ther other but i hate when they force stuff that shouldn't happen.

i also REALLY hate when character deaths or sacrifices mean NOTHING because they either somehow are not dead/come back to life or get magically healed later. Shows like bleach or Naruto are horrible at this.

zat0x91:
It really depends on what kind of anime it is.  If it was a horror anime I'd be all for a shitty / depressing ending like in Serial Experiments Lain or Boogiepop Phantom where people just end up going insane.  If it was a romance, I'd like anywhere from happy to sad to a certain extent.

I prefer sad endings, a good example is Texhnolyze.
