and i wonder why every fucking show is rated over 7.0 on mal


Why would you have to wonder that pal, that's the way these knuckleheads rate, anyone could have told you that.

Nah. It just makes me like it a little more than I previously did, but it can't completely "save" it. I still don't like Code Geass even though it had a great ending.

No it doesn't, but Code Geass was great from start to finish anyway so I didn't feel the need to deduct points from it.

No. Unless the ending is exactly what makes an anime memorable in the first place (ex. School Days) then it can't save a bad anime alone.

No it doesn't.
Look at NGNL.
It doesn't even have a real ending and the whole thing is a heaping pile yet it's 8.6/10 on MAL. It's one of those examples that proves most of MAL has, "shet taste", if you will.

The notion that bad anime/endings will get low scores and good anime will get high scores is invalidated by anime such as this.

It can increase what I was I going to give it a few notches like it did with School Days and Master of Martial Hearts, but that's about it.

Save? Don't really think so. But I'll have a better opinion of it. Golden Time was a fairly meh Anime but it had a REALLY horrible ending, so I hated it. So anything like that, yea...

The last 2 episodes were very good... the rest... pretty boring. So yea, good ending there saved that one from a blow-average score of 4 to an average score of 5.

Hell yes, it saved Shinsekai Yori for me ^^
How was Shinsekai Yori ever a bad anime?
The beginning of each arc is horribly (drop worthy) boring. The ending(s) definitely saved that one. (score went from 3 dropped to 6 above average)

Mirai Nikki's end got it bumped from 7 to 8.

A good ending can only, at best, bump-up the score a little. The rest of the bad anime is still bad.

It wasn't awful, but in my opinion it was just a normal Anime :D then the Ending was fucking good, so I rated the first season with 8/10 :D

It can't really singlehandedly save an anime but the ending is an integral part on whether or not the anime can be considered good or not

If it' really bad, no...a good ending can't save a show that everbody has already dropped after the first 5 episodes lol. But a great ending can make a good show awesome, Code Geass or FMA Brotherhood for example - I reallly liked the endings and they made the shows so much better imo.

Uhh, no. You can't make bread out of sh*t so when the start was bad, you can't just make the last episode good when everything that happened previously was garbage.

No, it can make the last minutes of the last episode good (See Tokyo Ghoul).

Leaving the story off in the middle of nowhere is poor planning really, even if there was a sequel.

Getting Btooom! flashbacks now.

No, a good ending can't save a bad anime, but it can make mediocre anime better.

Code Geass was never 'bad' at any point in my opinion. I just didn't see where it was going, which was a good thing because suspense helps the audience with motivation to actually watch something.

Anyways, sometimes yes, sometimes no. I can't entirely come up with an example on the top of my head. Wait.

Paranoia Agent would be a good example. :)

If the whole story is bad and ending is good. . .

No, cause by the time you get to the ending ( if you get that far ) you lose the interest, so it's MEH for me.

Just because an anime is bad doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. Look at Mars of Destruction.

It's as if you guys learned your ABCs but not your 123s.

They never realized you can scroll down, and the numbers 1-5 are there, too. A bad anime usually gets 3-4/10 from me, 1-2 is a special category, sorta like 9-10.

If the show was on the 4-5 scale and it had a really good ending, mark can be bumped to 6-7.

But even the greatest ending cannot save a show that did everything wrong.
