| it's not punishable by law. it's not a crime. the end. |

| Most open ended series that were deliberately done to wrap off a series instead of promoting a manga are done that way to leave the viewer questioning the themes presented in the series. It's not the actual ending that matters, it's the content leading up to the climax that matters. What you choose to take from the series is up to you and you should feel compelled to think about what the writer of the story wanted you to think about. The GTO manga gives a pretty big open ending at the end of all of it, but what it does is make the reader question many things in the aspect of what it means to be a teacher. Is it criminal to leave the ending like that instead of giving the reader a conclusive ending? No, far from it, actually. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| I don't think it's a crime since like you said there were anime who ended up like that. |
 |
| You won't end on jail or having to pay to someone for do it or something, so it's not a crime |
 |
| No, not really. You gotta understand though, it had such an ending because they were promoting the original media. It was simply an advertisement. Different case if it's an original story though. |
Commercial success ≠ Critical acclaim -A. K. Hitler "I'm not here for the crappy story, I am here for the top quality chinese/vietnamese/korean outsourced Nippon animation" -J. F. Cena "My shitpost is better than your shitpost." Me |
| Sometimes I feel the endings are not to my liking but then again I think they are great. All on preference. I may route for A but B is what ends up being canon |

| no but not every ending is satisfying |
| I dont mind open ending as long as the story end. So far, I dont have any complain with any ending. But I do have problem with uncompleted story. Isshuukan Friends for an example. There are many things need to be explained and the story can progress further. For Akame ga Kiru, it doesnt matter if the MC And for Code Geass. |

| loose end => possibility for a sequel |
| Usually real ending brings more satisfaction, I guess. It's a conclusion to the story, it's absolute, answer our questions and doesn't let us wonder. Romantic anime that ends without the couple getting together is simply sad. Unsatisfactory. But in some cases the open ending simply works better. Code Geass being a great example, it couldn't get better ending in my opinion. People can speculate about it till the end of the world, but it's epic either way. Personally, I think that ending of Naruto would be much better if the manga ended with chapter 699. The story was finished, but the ending was open. Then the last chapter occurred and everybody lived happily ever after. As a conclusion it was horrendous and it felt like a poor setting for a shameless milking of the series in the future. And they certainly milk it well. It really depends on the story. Hats off to authors who know how to give their story a nice, fitting ending. Hats off to editors who let the authors end the story as they wish. |
| @alinet86 that's not always the case though. oreimo is a pretty good example. The author of the light novels wanted it to end differently. but his publisher (or the anime studio i can't remember which) gave us the ending we got instead. |

But I still didn't like how GTO ended and the fact that the manga itself spawned several sequel made me question whether we will see the last of Onizuka. a) ride off the success of the series for steady work b) cater to the fans by doing all sorts of fanservice spin-offs and sequels I don't mind the spin-offs, even though they're not as good as the original. |

I have no idea how to answer to this. ｍ（＿ ＿；；ｍ -You answered your own question? Okay. -Good endings aren't real endings? Okay. -Any anime that was adapted from a manga is just it's advertisement, irrespective of it's ending. -Weren't you the one asking the questions? |
| Reality is boring and mundane; plus, we live in this shit. It would certainly be a crime to attempt to make entertainment just as boring. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| *kicks down the door* Police: Get down. THIS IS THE POLICE! Sunrise: Oh shit what did I do?!! Police: You didn't give Code Geass a 'real' ending. Sunrise: I have rights damm it. I HAVE RIGHTS!! Police: Tell that to the judge. You sick fuck. *cuffs Sunrise* No.... It's not a crime. |

| the ending is whatever the creator, producers, or the network wants it to be; that doesnt mean itll always please the fans there were always be haters regardless |

| When the substance of your story amounts to advertising and promoting a bunch of hollow character designs with copy-and-paste personalities for consumption, significantly altering them in any way, be it personality wise or inter-relationship wise, through the course of the storyline isn't a great business plan. People see Oreos on the box, and when they open it, they want a box full of Oreos. And they want to leave the table with a stomach full of nothing but Oreos. |

"Crime" has more than one meaning and is often used to describe something that is foolish and senseless. It does not have to be related to law. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/crime http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/crime oh goodness, I deeply apoplogize for making a mistake in the random post I came up with in about 3 seconds. surely, this means the destruction of the world as we know it. |

| No for most cases. But yes , it's a crime when it's an ending like OreImo or Akame ga Kill |
