I often read that whenever anime that is based on manga or VN etc., ending is usually ok or passable, and even more than often, ending is bad or worse. Of course theres those too which handled ending same way as in source material and didnt risk changing things too much.

But are there cases where ending is actually better than in original source material it adapted the material from?

Off the top of my head, K-ON, particularly the second season. The ending to that actually made me cry. The manga was alright, but it was only really a 4-koma comedy, without the voice acting or the music, it just didn't affect me the same way.

The only anime comes in my mind right now is yuu yuu hakusho, though many people hate the anime only ending too (excluding me).

i think x anime (the 2001 tv series called X) wraps up the story better than the manga, which is said to be unfinished

but i never read it to confirm

While I haven't watched the tv series you are correct about the manga. It is on permanent hiatus. Did the anime had a real end or?

Prison School. The anime ended with the first arc fully adapted. Said first arc was the best part of the series, since, even if the next arcs had some good things, the manga became worse after the next arc took a pretty slow pace, and the ending of the series was just bad.

I feel like the Koe no Katcahi movie ending was better than the manga.

Death Note has personally a better ending than the manga. Don't know if that's the general consensus or not.

Yep it's definitely better that they stopped after killing L and did not continue with 12 more episodes or something like that.

Definitely this. Where the anime leaves off is best, although I didn't completely dislike the manga's ending.

Someone already said Usagi Drop. Haha.

Maybe Ore Monogatari. I haven't gotten around to the manga but from what I can tell it up ramps on the dramatics and honestly that the last thing a series like that needs.

My answer is probably Ufotable's Fate/Stay Night?

I mean it has better epilogue than in the visual novel. It feels more complete to me.
