What type of ending do the series that you give 10s to typically have (sad, happy, bittersweet, bad, etc.)?
| In terms of the series that I've given 10s to (both when it comes to anime and manga), I'm realizing that they have bittersweet endings (one way more than the others). They tend to lean on the happy side, but there's a very bittersweet element underneath that's hard to miss. |
 |
| Almost all of them are happy endings I think. |
 |
| it could be any kind of ending it doesn't matter to me. |
 |
| Usually happy, but sometimes a little bit sad as well. |
 |
| Typically bittersweet, some even sad. Well, I do like drama anime, and they tend to have that kind of feel throughout. I actually prefer seeig happy endings, but my score is usually set in stone by the time it's the ending. Rather than happy or sad the ending is, what usually would affect my score is whether the ending is conclusive or not - I'm not a fan of open endings. |
| Most of the time happy ending, on other occasions bittersweet ending. |
| Ending thematically consistent with the show and concluding it in a believable way. |
| A lot of the shows that I've given 10s to don't technically have endings yet, but for the ones that do, they're usually either happy or bittersweet endings. If the ending is a big part of the reason why I rated it a 10, there's a good chance that it's either a bittersweet ending, or a happy ending that the protagonist had to really suffer for. |
| My 10s either end happy and satisfying or with the biggest cliffhanger possible- probably because the rest of the show was also crazy |
| Clip-hanging ending, leave the rest to the viewers imagination and the anticipation of yet another story |
 |
| lets see... Happy: vinland saga s2, steins;gate, mob psycho 100 II, bitter sweet: sonny boy, disappearance of haruhi suzumiya, made in abyss: city of scorching sun Sad: end of evangelion, Arguable: monster, perfect blue, |

| Out of the six series I rated a 10: -one has a very happy/sweet ending -three have a comedic/kind of 'to be continued' type of ending (which I guess is also kind of an happy ending) -one has a very happy, but also quite bittersweet ending I would say -one has kind of a happy/bittersweet ending, but also it doesn't really feel like an ending, more like the season ends in the middle of a narrative arc |
| I also mostly have the bittersweet ones in my favs. |
 |
| The endings whuch fit with the context/nature of the story Doesn't matter if its heartwarming, bittersweet or sad |
 |
| My favorites are pretty mixed but it's mainly happy endings |
| I think most of my favourites tend to have a happy or a bittersweet ending but there are definitely some exceptions. |
 |
| I think they all end on a happy and satisfying note, some having more emotion to it like 86 and Yorimoi. Except Made in Abyss, cough cough. |
 "You fought to the end. You survived. That's why you're here now. I think that's something you should be more proud of." - Vladilena Milizé |
| funnily enough my 3 favorites aren't even finished, anyways my tens look like this Re:Zero - no ending Hunter x Hunter - no ending Made in Abyss - no ending Girls' Last Tour - bittersweet LoGH - bittersweet I guess Evangelion (EoE) - bittersweet I guess Mikkakan no Koufuku - bittersweet I guess Madoka Magica (Rebellion) - kinda bad |
  |
| I like the kind of ending that scars me emotionally. |
| Somewhere between bittersweet and happy. All of them are hopeful though. |
 MOKUSHI KUSHIMO SHIMOKU KUMOSHI MOSHIKU SHIKUMO. |
| It can be anything really but it has to be satisfying. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| Happy for the most part, though there are examples of bittersweet, and sad endings too. The main thing I care about is whether the ending is satisfying or meaningful. It also helps if the ending seems to fit the show and doesn't leave any big plot holes. |
| "The name's Gambit. Remember it." -Gambit "X-Men '97"  |
| For me its endings that are either completely life affirming or absolutely depressing. I usually don't like anything between those two extremes. |
 |
| * look at what anime I gave 10s to * see end of eva and devilman Yea... It's either bittersweet or complete depression. With some exception like Kaguya-sama. |
| I honestly don’t have as many 10s as the next person but it would be bittersweet/ depressing |
| “Since when was this world so beautiful?” ~Yuuri (girl's last tour) |
| Bittersweet. Now that i think about it, all my 10's tend to have "Goodbye" endings, not deaths, just "We'll never see each other again" endings. Yugi and Atem's departure, Menma's goodbye, the Azumanga Daioh graduation (This one's open as the girls might still be friends after school but given that they're all in different colleges, it's unlikely). |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| It depends on the genre of the anime, In General I give 10 to Bad Ending, Sad Ending and Happy Ending. I don't like Bittersweet Ending at all |
 |
| It's not so much the particular parts of an ending but rather how that ending sums up a show that lives in my head rent-free. It's the bittersweetness of it all coming to an end. Sometimes, the ending is great, but it's the emotion that the ending is coming and what that entails for the whole story and the characters. Okay, example. New Game!, my favourite show. The ending of Season 2. That ending having gotten to know all the characters and their personal quirks and stories, knowing that this was it? That's what I'm talking about. Then there's something like Samurai Champloo. What you'd call a traditionally great ending. Their journey complete, the main characters just go their separate ways for real, ready to face a new future without regrets, having bonded. That's it. That's the end. Different from the New Game! example because that was something I didn't want to end, but Samurai Champloo's ending is what makes the whole thing a 10. A tightly knit story with a truly satisfying and somewhat optimistic end point. |

| @TRC_Randy i mean it would work, but then End of evangelion would be both in sad and mindfuck. sonny boy would also be in both that and bittersweet. |

| typically bittersweet or happy, not big on sad endings tbh. :T |
 |
| I think most of the series I put as 10 have a happy ending but my favorite anime of what I ranked 10 has a bittersweet ending. I think I prefer bittersweet endings overall when remembering my favorite endings of what I've watched though. I definitely need more recs of those types of anime. |
