Hmmm, again maybe this is because I was a high-schooler, or maybe it was because I watched the episodes week by week but this show confused the hell out of me.

But if the criterion is just, endings that failed, then I guess my vote goes to Soul Taker. I guess i a literal way, I understood what happened at the end but...

Spoiler for Soul Taker's end:


It was a neat anime, but it really didn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense. This is a common theme with 90's and early 2000's mecha mystery shows.

Betterman is another example of this. Arguably, so is Big O
