Sailor Chibi Moon...Need I say more? Entertaining show = derailed.

I won't say the "ending" of Ranma 1/2 ruined the previous episodes, but it was one of the emptiest feelings I've had watching anything. The last two episodes weren't even that good.

I caught Dragonball Z at JUST the right time...Right when they were showing the Frieza and Cell Sagas. It took forever to get to the Buu Saga and it was a mess even when it got there...I went a year without cable and when I got it back, they were barely into introducing Buu the next year. I taped the episodes as they ticked by, but I don't plan on ever watching them.

I started on the anime of Full Metal Panic and really liked the first couple of episodes. Then it started focusing too much on the badly done military sequences, as opposed to the cool romantic comedy angle of the earlier episodes. Fumoffu was a welcome addition, but a lot of sequences were nowhere near as good as the manga. Feels like so much potential was wasted overall.

Also, Tenchi never really got back the momentum of the first 13 episodes of the "Universe" series. First it was the badly implemented space chase back to Jirai, then the rancid Tenchi in Tokyo series. I don't know if I should approach the new series, because I've seen just how badly it can be handled...

Just in General...
 

Don't you hate it when it's the beginning of the episode and the TITLE tells you who's going to win the match, or exactly what's going to happen at the end of the episode?

It happened a couple of times for me during Initial D, probably happens elsewhere as well.

Yeah well...



Although this is still my favorite series.

Blood+. I was a huge fan of this series and while it started awesome ...



Pissed me the hell off.

Yeah, I hear what your saying. Still the series kept me interested enough to watch it through until the end. I wonder if anymore plot twists are going to be thrown in with one episode left?

Gantz anime

Trigun.

This happened at a very strange time in my life. For some reason, my friends and I "discovered" three different series at the same time - Escaflowne (me), Trigun (David) and EVA (David #2).

Despite the rather crude animation job on Escaflowne, we all really enjoyed it, even though I still feel the end of it to be a touch too abrupt.

Evangelion caused a couple arguements - mostly around how I thought it was superior to the three if for the simple fact it tried hard to be something different and dropped the ball a lot of the time. (Still remains my favorite anime series)

Trigun, though? I was really enjoying the show. It was kinda flakey at times and the animation was about on par with Escaflowne (I'm an animation fan - so I tend to find 99% of all anime to be very badly done), but the very end of the show was really, really .... dull.

The build-up was there but the climax was throw away. It seemed like the show had been handed over to some gleeful teenager who only understood the glaring generalizations of the show instead of it's once-in-a-while subtle nudges. I was really offended by that last episode.

I could totally agree with that. A major reason for the Trigun ending being so "wha...?" could also be attested to the fact that the production company decided to go off on thier own tangent for the ending instead of following the canonized (UGH) ending from the Manga. This is the one thing that ruins a LOT of anime IMO. Trigun went on for a lot longer in manga form and went in a different direction than that final ep. Plus I THINK the order that Vash encounters them as well as the ideals of quite a few of the Gung Ho Guns were totally different. I'd have to ask a friend of mine who is a nut for the manga but doesn't look fondly upon the way the show turned up. I can't remember the reasons for why that happened.

Please don't use the word "canon" in any of it's forms. It's one of those words that flags the "idiot" alarm.

If you HAVE to use it, please follow it with a sound of disgust, such as (UGH).

LOL! Heaven knows I needed that laugh....Post duly edited. XD

You know, I never knew that the Trigun manga was different. I'll have to read that now since I too found the anime's ending very abrupt. Thanks guys. =)

for the most part, the manga is similar until the series becomes serious, the first 2 mangas are pretty close the the anime, but MAXIMUM is much diffirent

Well it's manga but I'm not sure if the anime of Death Note has caught up yet.

Death Note will totally throw you for a loop by the end. That is all.

Umm... X/1999. The worst part for me was...

I am a big fan of Hellsing, particularly the manga. When I saw the first incarnation of it in anime form, I was pleased and the series was great until the Incognito storyline came about. I never understood why they went with a 13 episode series for Hellsing, anyway, furthermore they left out a lot of the awesome characters: Pip, Rip Van Winkle, the fuhrer, the odd cat-boy lackey of the fuhrer who I can't remember's name, they didn't give Walter near as much screen presence as he deserves, Celes' character became even more two-dimensional. They also left out the badass, tattooed, nazi, voodoo bitch. They also didn't bother to explain much about the Hellsing organization itself or its former relationship with the Vatican, and they even left out the two characters from the CrossFire sidestory. About the only thing they did include was a brief reference to Admiral Harkonen from Dune.

But, yes, Incognito ruined it for me, first seven episodes were great, after that, suck.

i will agree with that, but you have to remeber, that when that was animated, there where only 2 mangas out at that point it time, so considering, its not that bad, but this new hellsing shoudl prove good

I have to say Inuyasha the last episode the didnt kill naraku or regain the jewel shard it just ended with Ohh we will still hunt for naraku and collected the jewel shards and the series just ends with that and you have to read the manga to figure out how they kill naraku

and the Anime of Dragon Half they only did 2 episodes of the show and stopped it and there is more manga's of it then the show

Most of the things that came to mind were already said...so:

Eureka Seven.
What they did to the moon in the last episode, oh my...
These kind of events just hurt me. Deep.

Wonderful job of bumping all the dust off this long-dead thread, game_dragon1. If you want to continue, at least use spoiler-tags if you're going to give out direct facts about endings.

game_dragon1 is pretty new to this game of bbcode and what not. gd1, please check out our faq. It has a nice area with all the bbcode for the forums.

NICE BOAT

That's all I'ma gonna say, looks like the Commy Censorfags have defeated japan, guys. No more fun from there ever again.

I must give my vote to Mahoromatic, as the ending for it was really something I didn't enjoy watching. :(



Another one that pops up on my head is, [b]Mobile suit gundam: 08th Team. Even though it's understandable that the story wasn't finished by the same author, the last half of the series seemed a little odd.

I vote the ending of Zero no Tsuikaima Season 2.

About what people have said about Wolf's Rain's ending:



Oh, and I'm one of those guys who watched and somewhat enjoyed Trinity Blood.

I'm just upset by a few simple things:

Gurren Lagan (Yes, I'm going there, stand the fuck well back)

Of all the Endings Gainax could of picked to copy for Lagan, why Mahromantic?
