It does not have to be perfect. What anime you've seen that has a very satisfying ending.

As a start,

Monster
Code Geass
Cross Game
Heroic Age

Often, I'm satisfied when the story *doesn't* really end, because the manga usually hasn't finished, so the made-up ending tends to stink. ;)

One exception to that, I think, would be Furuba (Fruits Basket), because I thought the creators of the show understood the original characters and plot very well and the ending they came up with was fascinating, sweet, and seamless.

But my prize for all-around-best-ending-ever would have to go to Inuyasha: Final Act. Inuyasha was the first anime I ever watched and the ending what *exactly* what I'd hoped for! :D

That can't be a perfect ending simply because something so wonderful shouldn't have had an ending at all! :p

Honestly, I can't think of a single one. Either I need to watch more anime or I'm just extremely hard to please. For me, endings almost always leave something to be desired.

Gunbuster - this is one of the few series where I can regard the ending as near perfection.

These are the others which I felt were immensely satisfying:
Saraiya Goyou
FMA Brotherhood
Only Yesterday (the endings scenes were honestly the greatest parts of the film)

A satisfying ending is IMO one of the hardest things for an anime to pull off. Here's a list of the ones that did.

Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight!
Kaleido Star
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Baccano!
Princess Tutu
Aria
FMA: Brotherhood

Probably as close to perfect as you can get.

(By the way the complaints about Princess Tutu were just nitpicking, I don't find it perfect because...like hirahira said....nothing is perfect.)

Agreeing with:
- Dennou Coil
- FMA: Brotherhood
- Baccano!

Adding:
- Paradise Kiss (bittersweet, but still good and conclusive)
- Samurai Champloo (again, bittersweet but felt very appropriate)
- Millennium Actress (beautiful and poetic)
- Sword of the Stranger (for leaving us guessing while still feeling like an ending)
- Spirited Away (a beautiful end for a wonderful fairy tale)

The last three are films, but I don't care xD I liked their endings, too.

Dude NAUSICA DID NOT HAVE A GOOD ENDING. The forest is gone, now everyone is STILL gona die because they can't do anything about the fungus and the tolmekians can return at any second. We only saw them LEAVING, presumably to come back with a bigger fleet tomorrow.

As for me, I'd say
-Gundam seed, where things are finally settled peacefully (only to be fucked up again in the sequel)

-Azumanga Daioh, where they remain friends and presumably keep in contact even after their school days. I hate those endings like k-on where they think no longer in same school = never see each other again. Totally not true.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes was probably the best ending I have seen to date. It's rare that a show, especially in anime comes together so perfectly, really no loose strings at the end.

RahXephon was a really good one, a really sweet happy end, that actually made sense. Wasn't forced and the events leading up to the end were explained nicely.

And Aria the Origination of course.
