Best Endings in Anime

What does AO think are the most compelling, climactic, thrilling, and depressing endings in anime?

Personally, I though the recent ending of Death Note was one of the best for a short anime. I thought it was a fitting ending to an excellent seires.

*pulls out beating stick*...J/K. ok, endings..."Last Exile" had a good ending, it was ashame to watch it end but all good things come to an end. "Samurai Champloo" also had an upbeat ending, especialy if you compare it to "Cowboy Beebop" and the unknow fate of Spike...I also liked "Stellvia of the universe" had a good ending, well i liked it:P i'll dig into my collection and remember more later...

I liked Eureka 7's ending. Trinity Blood's ending was great too.

Side note: I've heard FMA has a pretty horrendous ending, any truth to that?

i think my favorite anime endings all come from the Miyazaki films! Totoro, Howl's Flying Castle, Porrco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Kiki's Delivery Service... all dems!!!

they're my favorite becuz it was the kind of ending that made you feel that all was right in the world and that God loved you. it felt that childhood was fun and that heroes really are heroes and all that kind of stuff. you know, the good things of the world.

I really liked the endings of the Rahxephon movie and Millienuim Actress. I enjoyed the endings because they were both romantic and meaningfull.

The only thing that the last episode of FMA does is to set up the premise for the FMA Movie. Its the Movie thats the true ending for the series...

I like endings like Full Metal Alchemist. Although the Series ended in a sad tone the movie made up for it and had one of the best endings ever. Endings like s-CRY-ed and Cowboy bebop I cant stand. Not saying anything bad about Cowboy bebop cause that show Rocks!!! but ending that leave you puzzled and thinking WTF?! just arnt good ways to end a good series.

I like the ending of My-Hime. It is the best way to end the show! Has to be one of the better endings I've seen in a while. Most of the way that they end shows leave you wanting more or really disappointed.

Personally I favored the endings of anime such as: Saber Marionette J to X, Elfen Lied, Mahoromatic, GunBuster and Gungrave.

Its just so dramatic how there was a great sacrifice made in each of those endings.

I really liked the ending of Steam Boy, the very exciting escape from steam castle. Just the way its animated was so awesome.

I loved the way Chobits ended! Chi finally found her someone just for her and it was Hideki! It was so romantic and sweet!!

Dont really wanna "spoil" things so...V click to show spoiler Pretty much all of those titles except Gungrave, the character(s) that was thought to be lost/dead all came back. Or atleast they made you think that. Especially in GunBuster, when they return to the Earth that they saved after THOUSANDS of years...sacrificing everything that they had. Yet they were not forgotten and they were welcomed back. (T^T) I also liked Gungrave's ending. I've played the game and the anime's ending is much sadder and dramatic. Both the endings work for me though. ^^; __________________ :SLEEP: Shinku's Watch List = Code Geass:Lucky Star:SHUFFLE!:AQUARION:Gurren Lagann [AO RULES][My AO Gallery][YouTube][My Blog][AnimeSuki]
