So Anime watchers...

Which anime you have seen has the best ending "EVER" i need a really good anime too, just finished watching grantz, really good, pretty sad too, but the ending was just like: :roll:

So im asking for an anime you guys know that has a good ending (and not a crappy one with an awesome ending i mean a really good anime in general too)

btw dont say:

full metal alchamist

naruto

bleach

death note

or elfen lied

(yes i know the grantz manga is longer and still being productive, but im not really a manga dude)

(btw it doesnt have to be englished dub, but id sligthly perfer if it is)

Not a whole lot of animes start well and manage to maintain the same consistency throughout, except for maybe Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Then again, I really limit myself to romance... I haven't seen much outside of that genre, except for the occasional shounen.

Probably Cowboy Bebop has the best ending so far.

Iv seen a few ones like ah my goddes or love hina (could never finish any romance anime actually :( ) but is thre more to it then that?

There was this one that used to be on Adult Swim a while back, I think it was called

Blue Gender or somethin' like that It was ******* awesome. I'm pretty sure someone

here knows what I'm talking about.

Probably Cowboy Bebop has the best ending so far.

It starts pretty slow just stick with it for a couple more episodes you won't regret it. :)

I love cowboy Bebop's ending. The song at the end was beautiful too.

It is episode 5 that is usually the clincher, at least it was for me.

how is Air tv an anime with a good ending? It depressed me for a solid week, and made little sense.

on topic:

Kurokamiis a good anime (with a good ending) that had a simultaneous dub and sub release by Bandai (Code Geass).

One anime with a very good ending was Kiddy Grade. It did have its slow episodes, but was pretty good through out.

Clannad series My personal favorite anime AIr Series Kanon 2006 series Eureka seven seies Code Geass S1 (I think 2 is crap) Neon Genesis Evangalion Samurai Champloo Cowboy Bebop GTO Please Teacher Scrapped Princess Kamen No Maid guy is amazing just check it out if you can find it, its quite something really lol GunGrave Sola Full Moon Sawagash!te Toradora Itazura na Kiss Berserk Fate Stay Night, Although the visual novel is godly in comparison. I love all these animes, most of them are probaly girly or romance/comedy animes I love them all and I think a good ending is more of opinion so maybe you won't like these but there awesome!!!CoolSkAGuy

Yes, another anime fan who has seen the epic comedy animeKamen no maid guy.

The ending to Code Geass R2 was absolutely perfect..._en1gma_

R2 was so bad that I never even made it to the ending :?

Guess I need to finish it someday.

Are you looking for more romance animes?

Because I could name a good, solid ton that are nice. I didn't name any initially because I didn't think you were into that, so I just said a good one off the top of my head that wasn't so niche.

Romance? Never seen either of those, but you could try:

Clannad (both seasons are excellent, but the ending doesn't make much sense outside the context of the original work)

Toradora! (pretty cool how this one plays out, even if you know it's coming)

Lovely Complex (nice little shoujo series)

Bokura Ga Ita (shoujo)

Nodame Cantabile (bit lighter on the romance aspect; still highly recommended)

Ookami to Koushinryou/Spice & Wolf (same as above)

Skip Beat (wasn't able to get into this one, but I've heard it's good. Going to give it another try eventaully)

Clannad/AfterStory (****is sad)

StripTheSoul

I have to disagree with this.

!!!WARNING: MASSIVE SPOILERS BELOW! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED AFTER STORY!!!

Would have put this in spoiler quotes except GS gives me an "HTML not well-formed" error if I do. So this will have to suffice. Again, massive spoilers lie ahead for anyone who hasn't finished Clannad: After Story so quit reading now or forever have the entire series ruined.

Clannad: After Story had the most disasterous ending I've ever seen. I was stunned at how just how damaging one episode could be to a series. If you only watch up to episode 21 then yeah, the "ending" is superb. But episode 22 just **** all over everything the series had been building up to at that point. All of the hardship since episode 17? Gone. All of immense leaps in character development Okazaki had made since Nagisa died? Gone. The bittersweet reunion of father and daughter? Gone. The beautifully tragic ending of episode 21? Never happened. Pretty much that entire last arc was rendered pointless by the last episode which is a shame seeing as it was by and far the best arc the series had.

Now yes, I'm aware of Clannad's timeline and how that arc really did happen and how Okazaki died, went to the other world as the robot, then got sent back, collected the orbs this time around, and made a wish. While that does mitigate a lot of the damage the ending did (at least it wasn't the inexplicable deus ex machina it seems like the first time you watch it), it doesn't change the fact that we get hit with a reset ending. Basically the writers went too far, chickened out, and made up a Disney ending (although granted that is Key's typical way of ending their visual novels).

This is to say nothing of the fact that the last third of the episode is pure filler, and annoying filler at that. It was bad enough that we had to listen to Fuko for seven minutes, but for half of that time to be spent with her forcing her sister to say the same damn line over and over again was too much. I found myself screaming at the show to just move the hell on and show us whatever it was that it was building up to.

!!! END SPOILERS !!!

Also there isBaccano,an interesting Gangster anime that has spawned the anime critics catch phrase "WatchBaccanoNOW!"

Be warned its episodes have a weird time line (goes in and out of 4-5 time periods for the characters), but it works in the end.

Going to have to agree.

The ending doesn't work for the anime because, as I said above: it doesn't make sense outside the context of the visual novel.

It's still a great series, but they should've altered the storyline somehow for the anime adaptation just so it didn't have to end as it did. Now I played the visual novel before I saw the anime (so I knew what was going to happen), but people were saying that the ending in the anime felt really cheap which, stepping back, I can completely understand.

How different is the VN from the show? I have it installed on my PC but I haven't gotten through too much of it since it's pretty much like reading the show right now. I know there's multiiple paths and multiple endings, but I'm also aware that in order to unlock after story you have to play through it enough times to unlock all the paths which I seriously can't see myself doing if the VN doesn't have some very worthwhile differences from the anime.

Also there isBaccano,an interesting Gangster anime that has spawned the anime critics catch phrase "WatchBaccanoNOW!"

Be warned its episodes have a weird time line (goes in and out of 4-5 time periods for the characters), but it works in the end.

Gotta say, I was skeptical and confused, but by the end it became a top favorite.

Probably Cowboy Bebop has the best ending so far.

@gameguy6700

In terms of the "main" arc, there really are no *major* differences. You get more detail, I guess, but you'll probably be pretty bored with that part of the storyline if you aren't interested in seeing it yet again. You'll probably also have no drive to unlock the "real" ending, since you already know what happens.

As is typical of visual novels, there are other "paths" which progress completely differently. You can think of them as "what if" scenarios taking place in some parallel universe, I guess..which also means they'll have pretty much nothing in common with the main arc. Have you seen the Clannad OVAs? They sort of give you a glimpse of the other arcs. IMO: Some of the other arcs are good. Some aren't so good.

I'll agree, BUT...

I will also disagree, because as much as I hate Disney endings, I had cried so hard by the last few episodes that I probably would have gone into a deep state of depression if they didn't twist everything and ruin it the way they did.

The problem with that for me is that this was that they made the conclusion obvious early on.

Dragonball Z :P

I havnt watched anime for a long time but Street Fighter 2V was pretty damn good, had a good ending too leading to the manga movie. Others like CowBoy Bebop,HellSing and Trigun were awesome IMHO

Have you watched the whole series of dragon ball? or DBZ? there great shows._rock_
