Particularly galling to me was the way

Spoiler for Spoiler for Penguindrum ending:

Himari and Ringo lost all their memories- their precious memories that they had said they valued so much that they didn't regret the pain that had to go along with them- and then they lose their memories so that they won't have the pain? And this is the happy part of the ending? WTH? :<

It seemed very callous towards them I think.

Spoiler for mp:

i don't think that they lost their memories, but it was the past to change. it's very similar to madoka's ending
