| I forgot what it was, but I watched an anime I didn't really enjoy much until it ended and it had a really good ending which changed my whole perspective of that show, does this always happen to others or is it just me. Maybe I was just happy the show finally ended. |
| school days was a 7 after the ending it became a 9 on my list |
 |
| Definitely Haibane Renmei - if it weren't for that ending, it would've been nothing more than a somewhat alright show with a well-built atmosphere, but not much else. But, ho boy, the ending pulled it all together for me. |
 |
| Yeah, the ending is reason why i scored Re: Zero 2/10 not a 1/10. |
 |
| it's all depend... if it's a build up kind of story, of course the ending will be pinnacle which most improtant things... stains gate was interesting for exact same reason... in other hand, if continuity is not even it main focusses, journey will faaaaar more important than the ending it self... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Nope, but it can make you leave less unsatisfied. |
 |
| Hardly but a horrible ending can ruin the whole show for me. |
 |
| An ending can indeed save an anime from being bad. |

| I think such a thing can only apply to School Days. Otherwise, the ending only has the ability to kill an anime. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| The ending of Tokyo Ghoul Root A upped my score from a 6 to an 8. So yeah, I guess it can. By how much is a different matter, though. |
Swagernator said: Yeah, the ending is reason why i scored Re: Zero 2/10 not a 1/10. That is why I always think they should include the last part of the scene. Then I would rate 10/10 triggered everybody. OT: Yes it can. Ending is always + - 1 for me. |
| Sadly it's only applicable for the other way around. A good anime will usually be ruined if the ending sucks, but a bad anime will usually take more than a good ending for it to be saved. |
 |
| Nope, but it's true the other way around, it can ruin it. |
| It's the last thing you remember, so a lot of people hold more value on the ending than anything. If an anime is truly bad, I generally won't even make it to the ending. |
| IMO its very dependent on the situation, but I'd say like 90% of the time it doesn't save it for me. On the 10% that it does deserve some recognition, the most I'd do is maybe bump it up a point. Bumping it 2 points seems a little drastic for just a ending. |
| If an anime already sucks, a good ending, to me, is not enough to save it completely. I'll just make me not regret watching the show. |
| It can make anime slightly better of course, but it won't suddenly turn it into masterpiece, at least I haven't seen anything like that yet. |
  |
| In my opinion, not really. I'd like to use the example of Guilty Crown as an exception though. Guilty Crown had a pretty solid start and started deteriorating as it continued on. The school arc really killed it for me, but nearing the last few episodes, I saw an improvement. The ending-arc after the school arc salvaged it probably from a 4 to a 6. In most other cases, endings won't really do anything if a show was already as bad as it was. |
| If it started good then became downhill between the last two episode which is quite a rush. NOPE, Cause It's Suck hard Did you really pay attention to the story? I don't think so. Either When a Shitty Shows depicts it's current and good ending While OVERRATED SHOWS "the so-called Good it's bad" Ends up anticlimatic or should I'd say a BIG WASTE OF TIME |
 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| Sure, but at the same time, a bad ending can bring the score down by quite a bit. |
 |
| I consider endings an important part of the anime and they can have a significant impact on my general view of the show, but it's not really to the degree of 'saving' a shitty anime or completely ruining a good one. |
 |
| yes , if a shitty ending can ruin the whole serie 'clannad after story,twgok (manga) , nisekoi (manga), re zero '... then a good ending can make the whole serie worth watching (school days ending ) |
 |
| Majority of the time it doesn't if the plot is beyond saving or helluva rushed. Rare exceptions occur that I'll rate it +1. |
 |
| I haven't seen an anime yet that would make a 4 into a 6. It's usually really terrible and will only go +1 and they're in the 1-2 range |
 |
| Not really. If the anime is really bad I'd drop it before seeing the ending. |
| It seems to have worked for Code Geass S2, seeing the reception it got. |
 |
| Ehh not really. I was going to give School Days a 2, but because of the ending I gave it a 3. |
| Katsura Kotonoha was the only reason why I watched School Days, everything else sucked. But the ending saved the whole anime for me. It was amazing. |
| Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's. Noragami is the best anime ever.  |
| In general, it could help a little, but if the anime was bad it won't change much about it. |

OT: I dont know how I should be interpreting 'saving anime'(once again lol) but I dont think any part of the show has that much influence on my overall view on it, maybe a weak beginning might make me drop it and score low but that ofc wouldnt indicate the whole shows quality in any way. |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| It can't save a bad anime nor ruin a good one. It does count though: I 'd say a 5% of the score. |
 |
| Yeah sometimes when i've watched a show i've rated it higher then i had planned to because of the ending. |

A terrible ending that nullifies everything that happened before for me is a -3 like the one from Sun-ken Rock. A mediocre show (5) can have a good ending but it will not change too much my view of the show since everything the lead me to it wasn't great. |
|
| maybe a point or so if im torn between 2 ratings |
 |
| It seems this rule applies mostly to School Days... |
| If I liked the ending of a series it gets usually 1 or even 2 points more from me. The same principle can be applied to an ending I disliked. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| it might unconsciously make me give a show a +1 but after 4/5 months it goes down lmao. |
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. | You know what I hate the most? People who aren't free. They're no more than cattle. |
| for me, no. if i dislike an anime, i probably won't make it to the ending. on the other hand with a good anime and bad ending, my perspective will change sometimes. bad endings make me feel upset with the show. |
 |
| I'm not sure if it saves but it helps. |
| Well, an ending has the power to make me up-rate or down-rate a few slots, so maybe, but that would only be if the show was was sub-par and the ending was good enough to give the show a rating higher than 6. I drop sub-par shows though, so I probably wouldn't get as far far as the end. |
| "Laws exist only for those who cannot live without clinging onto them." -Souske Aizen "Bleach"  |
| A good ending cannot save a bad anime but a bad ending can ruin a good anime. |
 |
| If an ending can ruin an anime- Madoka Magica 3 movie. An ending can save an anime- School Days. Bad endings have ruined more "rest of this anime was a 9 for me but the ending was a 2!" than the other way around. Ending of No.6 comes to mind. |
The anime community in a nutshell.  |
| an ending can either ruin a show or make it on par of what you except it to be. if it was shit, it gets dropped and the ending doesnt matter. |
