You just proved a good point SkyFlames. You remembered School Days (just like I do) but the first word to pop up in your head was "sick". True the ending was pretty gruesome and unnecessary and of COARSE I remembered it over all the other side titles I've seen, but I still thought it was a bad story. A story's outline transforms with each scene and usually will have a natural direction to take. sometimes the author will fuck that direction up, but almost every story was finished when it was created. (hard to understand)
So honestly, the stories that I encounter, I enjoy because their amazing stories, and amazing could be interpreted in many different ways. But I don't like them JUST for their endings or JUST for their production staff. So if Takahashi wants to make a crazy ending where....
Alastor: I love you Yuji.
Yuji: I love you too.
Then he can go right ahead, but judging from his work and personal experience I know he's a smart guy and I know the story will end well.
And also, R+J was a good story for many reasons, not just for the ending. Also I've seen some great stories that have ended happily.
