Anime that is not at all serious, then tries to become serious near the end (this ended up being a rant)
| i am tanaka san from deen animation and your proposal will be taken in consideration for the next animes we will make . we well look into keeping comedic series consistent towards the end in the future .thank you and have a good day - tanaka and thanks for giving examples, as usual |

| At least the series tries to touch some random shit. Y'all rant about it but deep inside y'all are M. |

| It depends on how it's executed. There are some series where it works and others where it doesn't. |

| I love tonal shifts. They make the anime more realistic since life is about change, about good times and bad times. But yes, I've seen this problem in a lot of anime. The problem is, the shift comes suddenly and more no reason other than to have a climax. It doesn't contribute anything. It doesn't put the characters in difficult situations. It doesn't even come naturally from the story or the world. Suddenly, some asshole wants to cause destruction. |

"They say that if you change yourself, you'll change the world, but that's a complete lie. They're just forcing you to compromise by feeding you a convenient little fib. Let me show you how to really change the world." -Hikigaya Hachiman |
| I remember an opposite example. The 7 (I think) first episodes were really serious and dramatic. In the next episode, after the one before ended tragically the main character which was too serious in first part became happy happy joy joy all of sudden with no explanation. So if it's too extreme, I guess it could be annoying the other way around. By the way, if someone wondered, I talked of |

I wonder why we never see stories go the other way around - start dramatic, and end comic. |

Another one, but not as extreme: You did, but we're still talking about a rarity. Even Western stories often start more light and end up heavy. |

Another one, but not as extreme: I'd say Tears to Tiara's prologue is darker than any other part of that anime/game. But most of these jumps in mood are due to medium transition: in the game, VN-style comical moments are punctuated by player-controlled fights, which keeps a lid on the comedy. |
| Hmmm.....one.....mecha......drills.....? |
| I don't mind if some silly, lighhearted series turn serious suddenly if it's well executed (like happens with JoJo). But when a totally stupid series tries to take itself seriously and fails to deliver (like Nourin), that is when it starts to bother me. |
 |
| I'll take the direction going from light-hearted to serious any time over the reverse. |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| I don't see the problem if it's well executed,Gintama does it alot and you still end up feeling sad for the characters even though the arc started as a complete comedy. |

| The only thing worse than this is when a series tries to constantly shift between very bad comedy and extremely edgy everything-else (aka why I really couldn't be stand akame ga kill) |
