I honestly don't what you trying to say here. Are you telling me you thought this was going to be some sort of happy go lucky ending? The possibility that Reiji was going to die was always on the table especially after all the things that have happened. It was always fairly obvious that it was leading towards an Elen/Ein type of ending too and we got that.
Would you have preferred if he'd die without fulfilling his promise? I don't really get what other kind of buildup you'd expect for this sort of ending. I love twists especially when done where they aren't expected but completely logical. Reiji and Elen were killers and hated by Inferno and others groups. They weren't going to allow them to run free forever. The twist is a stroke of genius. Ending the show on a bittersweet note and making this show Bee Train's work instead of a complete textbook copy of Nitro(I assume this is an added ending since I've never heard of this ending before and I've done a couple endings of the game myself). Some will hate and some will love it. I personally love it.

Well, actually many of us were expecting an ending that has been already done in the VN. This one was like an original anime ending, which I have yet to see and comment about. They didn't even fucking do the wedding scene between Reiji and Ein in the church right before his duel with the blonde bitch. Now they kill off Reiji?
This twist was nothing out of the ordinary, if I haven't played the VN, I would have expected something like this.
Well, I guess the DVD sales will never go up anyway. Seriously, after Noir, in 9 years failure after failure, they finally get a good project into their hands....they have better not fucked it all up.
