I must say...I am very disapointed in this series.
The OVA was stunning, it did what a 26episode series barely ever does, and all in 3 episodes. Every fight scene wonderfully timed with the music, emotion and such. It was a work of art. I come to see this series...it's like the ran out of money after the first episode and hurried through the rest. The art is sloppy, messy and lacking...this is extremely evident in the last four episodes. Thank god for them re-doing fine detail for the dvd releases.... |

I don't see why everyone was complaining. I thoguht it was the perfect ending to the series. I'm also a sucker for a Big Happy Ending. After all the torment these people went through, I liked seeing something good happen from it.
Just a note on the animation - as has been mentioned before, the crappier parts are being redone for the DVD releases in both Japan and America. It's not uncommon for a series to air partially incomplete, then be fully complete for the DVD releases (Hellsing comes to mind). Time to get my pre-order in for the first R1 volume - this one's a keeper |

the problem is not really about the very ending. I have nothing against big happy ending, although it's a bit lame, especially when you see

The ending was kind of a let down for me as well. All that momentum built up and it just faded into the end. Ah well, I love the 2nd ed song. |

I don't think there can be an ending that satisfies everyone. If they had included a long (up to an entire "extra" episode, even) epilogue about where everyone was now, people would complain that the anime was dragging too long with unnecessary filler.

Overall, I loved this anime. It had more than enough plot twists to keep me watching long after I should have stopped and done my homework (curse you Psych paper), but it resolved a great deal of them by series' end (unlike, say, Spiral). For everything else, I suppose there's fanfic. |

the ending was definately anti-climatic. Was anyone surprised when yomiko's plan failed miserably? nope. I didn't like the way the ending was told but I liked the conclusion to the series. Everyone got back to normal.. for the sake of the girls because they were just taking one loss after another. I was relieved to find no one died.
A little more on joker would have been nice but like all anime endings, there are really no bad guys, or should I say winners and losers. I've seen this type of ending too many times not to be bothered by it anymore. Btw what happened to anita's girlfriends memory? did they fix it back? |

That ending was the most horrific anti-climacticly putrid ending ever! -_- it doesn't deserve the title or Read or Die! (or Dream, if you so choose.) Read or Die is a masterpiece! That was CRAP! I mean, the whole world domination plan was SO well crafted, the storyline up to that point was pure ingenuity, that ending utterly decimated Humpty Dumpty! He can never be put together again! He's smashed! ARGH unbelieveable. I feel like a female prying mantis who just ripped off the males head before cupolating only to find out he's infertile. (Female mantisis tear off the male's head before mating.) It's utter frustration, how could they do such a thing to such a great series. Gaaarr I waited a week for this -_- LAME!! LAME LAME LAME LAME LAME!!! Like I said, the ending was supposed to be a masterpiece, A MASTERPIECE!!! I could have made a better ending than that!! sheesh. *sigh* I'll shut up. God. What a dissappointment.
