| Re: Happy or Sad endings
It all depends on the anime. Or anime movie for that matter. If the whole anime was rather somber, like Grave of the Fireflies, then it would be inappropriate to have a happy ending, as it would make more sense to end a somber movie/anime on a depressing note, thereby strengthening the movie's/anime's theme.
Then again, if there was a happy anime, take Lucky Star for instance, it wouldn't make much sense to end the anime with a depressing episode, as you would want the finale to be as happy as every other episode. |
