Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Gateway shows for me were Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z, Gundam Wing, Iria (on the old Sci-Fi). Breakthrough anime for me that really got me into the medium were Read or Die TV and InuYasha in 2004. The following year I watched shows like Blood+, Mai Hime and Shakugan no Shana (one of all time favorite franchise now). These shows left me wanting more and more.
From 2004 until 2013 I only ever used Animenewsnetwork to track my anime. No one ever told me about myanimelist. It would've made my life easier because I had also been using facebook to track rewatches and exact times. My current animelist is VERY incomplete. ANN has me at almost 1000 series. MAL should be over 1200 based on how things are separated here. It will be a very long process to transfer it all over. Until then, feel free to ask me personally if I've seen a certan show that is not listed.
I'm a really hardcore music fan.
I stream RPGs and other games sometimes at

My ratings are based on MAL's own labels. My average rating is so "high" because I usually drop anime that I feel like would end up being a 6 or below. And of course, these are all my own tastes and opinions. I have various reasons for boosting an anime's score or lowering an anime's score. So while some people may think an anime is 10/10 for example, if I found it to be extremely predictable or felt like it tried too hard, I'll probably lower it to an 8 or 9.

you're the last person I spoke to on my profile so I decided to come give a hi
(havent seen it yet, plan to one day)
Most anime original endings are bad, but I liked the one from Akame ga Kill, so in the end even if you shit on something there will come the day you will actually find yourself in the odd position of getting those words back on you.
Another good point, Spice and Wolf more than most, suffers from this tremendously, though I have started reading the LN before even finishing S1 and at this point I have S2 on hold having already read on the LN everything it would adapt.
But yeah, anime is a business no matter what we may think, money will always have some influence.
Define proper ending... I mean, even for those anime that fully adapt the source material to its completion, sometimes the source material ending was trash too, so either the anime is trash too, or in very rare cases they may manage to improve it on the anime with some extra stuff (dont have any examples, just stating a possibility).
A real concrete conclusion uh, what about Code Geass S2, ignore the fact S3 is coming out, did you enjoyed that left to interpretation ending?
What about stuff like https://myanimelist.net/anime/387/Haibane_Renmei ?
It left alot for the viewers to interpret, some anime manage to do this well and be sucessful.
It wont change, most series out will always become quick cheap fuel to flame up the source sales, that quickly burns out and you are left only with ashes.
You can say that when one puts his time and effort into getting to know a story and a cast, he should be rewarded with an ending that fullfils him, but honestly that is all that everyone always want, yet I dont think writters should always go for this, well done conclusions and be more powerfull and memorable when we dont get what we want, but what we get falls in line with the nature of the series and ends up leaving a mark. We like to be pampered and having it all like we want, but thank good writters sometimes go agaisnt this.
Remenber Zankyou no Terror ending, that scene gave the series overall more meaning, it was the ending that would have fit the best with what the show was going for.
They released this. I never heard yurishi voice act Risa, I can't tell if that is still yurishi's voice or not. but reading the comments, I realize that is yuki (Risa's replacement)
do they sound alike to you?
Anyone getting on a series for its ending is more probably going to end disappointed, usually not expecting much for the ending and going in for the journey is the wisest choice.
by any chance do you know what yurishi is suffering from? i'm curious cuz her voice is lovely
Bad endings can be great, it is all about the execution of said ending that matters.
Did you think an happy ending would suit it to be a memorable conclusion?
The English verison of Little Busters is coming out soon and I'll likely get it this year. Can't wait!
