the best anime always have tragic endings

im starting to notice it realy rare for there to be a great serise(note im saying like the best of the best, like high 9/10 shows or 10/10) to be having a happy ending, they almsot always have just downright depressing and tragic endings and the ones that are happy end up being bittersweet, anyone else notied this, the most recent ive seen was tokyo magnitude 8.0 and that ending made me cry throughout the last 2 min and credits, its just tragic.

they just wana make it more edgy, i gues

Clannad, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Gurren Lagann, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.. not tragic. Just examples.SoraX64

I have to disagree. The best animes don't have tragic endings, merely endings that are fitting to the character.
I'm going to take a few examples, and the fact is that sometimes the best animes are those that tell the story right without dragging along forever.
One Piece, Bleach, Naruto, they all have SO, SO MUCH episodes and never end.
We can grab Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X and Death Note, animes that ended at their time and can be considered cIassics because they told their story.
Albeit, the Kenshin anime ends at the Kyoto arc for me, I'm waiting for that remake, because the manga has the only real ending for me.

That's something I noticed as well. But I rather like the bittersweet endings.

Baccano! wasn't really tragic in the end...at all.

Yeah, Kenshin anime after the Kyoto arc ends is (by all accounts) awful. But the Enishi/Tomoe arc in the manga is incredible.

I disagree.

FMAB had a happy ending (except for 1-2 characters)

Beast Player Erin ending made my heart grow 2 sizes that day (the anime ending not the origional light novels ending)

Kanon (newer version)

Many great anime had happy endings

I think endings that don't end up burrowing you in a pile of fluffy puppies are more realistic.:P I like the endings like FMA where they tie up certain things but always have consequences to the characters' actions. Consequences are the core of human living--whether that's the kind of anime that you define as 'good' or not is up to you.

And whoever listed One Piece and Naruto as examples of GOOD anime need to check themselves before they wreck themselves ;) But each to their own--have fun with that.

I sure hope Naruto and Bleach don't have tragic. endings. Although I feel like Naruto will have a tragic ending.

Ghost in the Shell doesn't have a tragic ending.

Hm, surprised there isn't any mention of Cowboy Bebop's ending :?

Evangelion gameguy6700

[QUOTE="gameguy6700"]Evangelion Ace6301

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is the best Anime ever and it has a pretty happy ending, so 'll say no :)

[QUOTE="Ace6301"][QUOTE="gameguy6700"]Evangelion gameguy6700

I'm kind of agree with Evangelion, it wasn't a tragic ending, more like an open ending.

In which i like to think that Asuka and Shinji eneded together, yep, i like happy endings and i like Asuka (favorite Anime character ever), Rebuild make it happening :evil:

Wofs Rain had a sorta tragic ending if I remember clearly and I loved that show.

But my favorite animes are Samurai Champloo, Hajime no Ippo, One Piece. 1 is not tragic, the other 2 are ongoing (Im pretty sure Ippo is releasing another season)

I saw this movie call Evagallion Genesis or something and it's one of the most depressing thing I've seen.

And btw am I the only Asian who find animes to be "meh"?

Death Note has the most tragic but the greatest ending I've seen. I was thoroughly freaked out through the whole episode.

It was more Justice then tragedy considering how ******* up in the head Light was...

The "best" anime is one that gets you emotionally invested in the characters. Not many shows can do that though.
