This is pretty obvious but watch out for spoilers. Below I'm gonna talk about Dusk Maiden of Amnesia and Beyond the Boundary, so if you don't want them spoiled, don't read on.


Anyway, rant over, what are some of the cheapest endings you've seen in an anime. I'm not talking about bad endings, where it was just not good. I'm talking about endings where they deliberately cheapen the show just to bring back a character for instance. Even Gurren Lagaan had some cheap moments in its finale, but I don't consider it a bad ending.

Then let's show it straight away that you just want to make thread about your rant about certain anime shows. Don't pretend you care about our opinions.

You won't know till you try <3

Regardless, it's more like a cautionary thread, share the love (hate?)

Fakeout, for instance, when a character dies but then is brought back to life suddenly.

Or just any cheap ways to artificially increase drama.

Eh, the first thing that comes to mind is Code Geass honestly. Although 2nd season was a pretty hard trainwreck to watch overall, I felt that the ending (well, pre-ending I guess) was pretty decent. Then we got that carriage ride that just pissed on everything, really, and had fanbase deal with their raging boners over who's right and who's wrong...

Majikoi (aka some random harem show no one needs to bother with)

I'm guessing most of these are gonna be about faking deaths and coming back to life.


You're probably right. But it could also be a death that comes out of nowhere. Like the end of Kill La Kill.

Honestly, Zero: Requiem is one of the most naive plans one can muster. The ending itself is dissatisfying.


Going to mention Alnoadh.Zero, Season 1.



Finished Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, another fake death scene.

Yeah, Clannad AS and Dusk Maiden of Amnesia are the first ones that come to my mind.

Also Code Geass but I don't really mind coz we got more Code Geass esque grills which is always nice..

Oh this is exactly it.

I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.
