notsureifsrs said: Clannad AS: Explained better in the VN NHK: Novel > Manga > Anime School Days: The anime was pretty bad in the first place. The ending is notable as the only thing making it memorable. Clannad AS: Maybe, but if the ending is pretty much the same then I doubt it will be much better in the VN. NHK: So I have heard, haven't read it though. School Days: The ending was hillarious. The rest of it was longwinded, overblown and stupid- like a Shaggy dog story. |

AnnoKano said: Clannad Afterstory - They kill off Nagisa and Ushio, only to bring the two of them back to life for the ending. Under what context can that possibly be considered 'good'? It renders all the previous developments in the story completely pointless, and it serves only to appease the audience with a happy ending after two very sad events. Don't get me wrong; Clannad AS was certainly very touching, but that ending was a load of shit. You have to remember that it was a visual novel adaptation and you gotta have a good ending in there... somehow. And it's apparent that's what the anime producers were going to for the "good route". Plus, it would explain the "other" world we've been seeing. |

Also, I disagree with TTGL because: Nia disappearing had NO LOGICAL REASON TO HAPPEN Um yea the reason it happened was perfectly logical and they even explained it in the anime. Just because you didnt like it doesnt mean its not logical. (this comment in regards to what is under the show spoiler.

Clannad AS: The fact it was a visual novel adaption does not make the ending any better though; the other world was an interesting idea but killing off two major characters only to bring them back to life shortly afterwards is bad, especially when you are using it to manipulate people's emotions. The problem is not that it doesn't make sense -then ending to Clannad AS does make sense in regards to the story- the reason it is a bad ending is because it renders previous developments pointless, and the writers went to extraordinary lengths to give the show a happy ending. What's more, it feels like that other world was created just to provide that happy ending. Does making stuff up for the sole purpose of making the story to work not seem like bad writing to you? |

It's up to you. By the way, how would you liked the show to end? |

Clannad AS: I am not sure how I would have ended it, but certainly not the way it ended in the anime, Probably the best place to end would have been episode 18, after Tomoya reconciles with Ushio. That was a touching moment- I did not find Ushio's subsequent sickness and death to be even remotely sad. In fact, as soon as Ushio collapsed I was pissed off with the show for making light of something that was -until then- very sad, but also very sweet. |

The whole good end thing sorta happens in the VN too. It's the same thing, but the light spheres which equal good karma he's been collecting all this time are used to change fate and he basically reverses it so he can get a good end. Honestly I gave an awful summary of what happens. I think you can see them in the anime after each arc. Basically: Tomoya: FUCK THIS SHIT, I'M OUT! *rips a hole in space and time* So yes, it sounds like total DEM bull, but it's not actually out of nowhere. |

School Days! I'm just kidding of course, it seems like people think that anime has the worst ending ever. |

I guess a perfect ending would be where you leave feeling completely satisfied, not wanting any more, and for that reason, there aren't really many which I can really add to this list because quite a lot of animes have an issue with closure. Recently I thought Anohana did this quite well though. The ending was quite easily the best part of the series. I quite liked the ending to Ergo Proxy and FMA: Brotherhood as well :). Other than that though, I was looking through my list and that was pretty much it. |
As always, today is the most enjoyable day. |

FLCL left me feeling that I had just witnessed something amazing. Other shows include the ending to Haruhi Suzumiya S1 (chronological order), Bakemonogatari, Cowboy Bebop, Baccano, and Princess Tutu. I'm gonna go against the grain here and say that I actually liked End of Evangelion (sorry). Honorable mention goes to Gurren Lagann (It was good until Simon became a bum. That was weird) and to Death Note, a very fitting ending that almost excused the less than great episodes preceding it. |

Perfect ending in every way: Cowboy Bebop. I can always come up with flaws for anime endings, but not in this case. Everything went flawlessly. Other good ones: Code Geass R2 (shocking), Cardcaptor Sakura's second movie, Utena, uh... True Tears, errr... yeah, I'm not sure about much else. Banner of the Stars III, actually. It was touching. |
