So many recent shows really left me unsatisfied at the end:
Kannaduki no miko, Samurai 7, Melody of Oblivion, Tenjo Tenge, etc, etc.
I like endings that are either happy or sad, or heck even lukewarm non-changing ones like Rozen's was. Anything beats "cheezy mind fuck"/"We couldnt think of an ending"/"so confusing you can draw your own conclusions"/"we ran out of budget and decided to stop animating properly"/"we'll make the ending so unclear its impossible to know what happened"/etc.
Any show that starts off taking itself seriously shouldnt become a complete cop-out near the end, imo. Rozen at least stayed in tune to the very end, and I appreciate that much
Even though I disliked our snot-nosed protagonist to the very end, this was a good series. (the no-parents bit is a tad overused, but you cannot hold that against any particular show (Mommy and Daddy onegai) )
What I want to know, and what I would ask Shinku, is if she would really kill of hina ichigo in order to complete the game.
