Recently, fans have been embroiled in a debate about which anime have truly good endings. This topic has generated a variety of differing opinions, highlighting the subjective nature of what constitutes a truly satisfying ending in the anime world.
- The Strongest Magician gets a trailer for the character “Ike”
- Employee assaulted after Oshi no Ko spoiler
Therefore, when analyzing what conditions an ending must meet to be considered good, participants highlighted several aspects. First, many agree that a satisfying ending must provide adequate closure to the main plot and character arcs. This implies resolving the story's main conflicts satisfactorily and offering a sense of closure and finality .
Furthermore, an ending that leaves a lasting impression on viewers is usually one that is consistent with the tone and style of the anime as a whole. It's important that the ending feels organic and well-integrated into the narrative, avoiding unexpected twists or forced developments that could compromise the story's cohesion.
Another crucial aspect is the emotional satisfaction the ending provides the viewer. This can manifest itself in a variety of ways, whether through emotional moments that resolve relationships between characters , impactful revelations that redefine the understanding of the story, or simply offering a sense of hope and optimism for the protagonists' future.
It's important to keep in mind that the perception of an ending as satisfactory is inherently subjective and can vary significantly from viewer to viewer. One person may consider an ending perfect, while another may not. Therefore, it's crucial to recognize and respect different individual opinions and experiences when discussing this topic.
- I just rewatched Buddy Daddies and had completely forgotten how beautiful the ending is. It has the advantage of being an original anime and having only one season, but it was great to see how it all ended and where everyone ended up.
- Mob Psycho 100, Parasyte and Assassination Classroom.
- Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, without a doubt.
- I would mention Fruits Basket, Mob Psycho 100, Fullmetal Alchemist.
- Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood had the perfect ending, tying up all the loose ends without wasting anyone's potential. And Code Geass, which needs no explanation.
- I completely agree with Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. I've often heard people think it's too much of a 'Disney Happy Ending,' but somehow that's the point the series makes in the end. They really deserved it. It's also the only anime that didn't leave me wanting more when it ended. Usually, my obsessions with an anime last longer than the anime itself, and then I move on to fanfics, but that was never the case with FMAB.
- “STEINS;GATE, I am convinced.
- “JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, without a doubt.
They put other animes on the list of good endings:
- Samurai Champloo, to name a few.
- The ending of Odd Taxi is still vivid in my mind. Gurren Lagann also has an ending so beautiful it could make a grown man cry (I'm the grown man)."
- I wish Odd Taxi had been a little more dramatic with the reveal of the art change. A minor detail, but I would have liked the last 15 minutes to be drawn more realistically or painted with a different palette for a bit more contrast. Great series, if that's the worst I can say about it.
- Cowboy Bebop.
- Mob Psycho 100.
- Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
- Shinsekai Yori has a spectacular ending.”
- I'm glad to see that Shinsekai Yori hasn't been forgotten. One of the most unforgettable experiences I've ever had is watching this anime for the first time.
- Moriarty the Patriot. Sure, the ending is quite different from the manga (which is better and still being published), but I think it's still a lot of fun.
- Mob Psycho 100 had 3 incredible seasons without a drop in quality, fully telling its story.
- K-ON! – Made me cry like a baby over some girls' high school graduation.
- Fruits Basket – The last season wrapped everything up nicely thematically.
Finally, tell us in the comments which animes you consider to have good endings.
