i've watched/read many mangas/animes and i've liked almost all of the endings...
so what kind of ending is most memorable for you?
sad ending?
happy ending?
non-conclusion ending? (means the anime/manga ended but left many possibilites... like the manga GTO

Spoiler:

though the endings are sad... the most memorable ones for me are the sad ones... well you can see it on my sig...

milan kyuubi · 2010-02-07, 06:42

Well the the funnyest ending i watched and liked was the ending of dragon ball gt. I couldnt stop laughing. Goku as a child againn... HA

Socke · 2010-02-07, 07:20

WTF ones like School Days. It makes me want to cringe. It is memorable not because its great or something but I just couldn't forget how bad it is.

Kafriel · 2010-02-07, 08:07

The happily ever after ones, I won't remember endings from, say...Fate/Stay night or D.Gray-man, but the simple and good ends of Black Cat or Death Note.

Kotohono · 2010-02-07, 13:19

Hmm I voted happy cause I remember most of them pretty well, but really I'd say an ending that is both Happy and Sad tend to been the most memorable for me:

Spoiler for List of Animes with that kind of ending:

How come Bittersweet endings aren't up there?

Zu Ra · 2010-02-07, 15:02

Always prefer sad ending to happy endings or more so bitter~sweet / shocking . One ending which was etched in mind was Tactics came as complete shocker .

Greenish Growth · 2010-02-07, 15:06

Bittersweet would be my choice as well. Sad endings are usually just depressing and frustrating to me (like the Sean Connery movie "The Hill").

Something good happening, but coming at a cost and/or a loss are the endings I remember the most. I don't like all happy endings. They don't trigger any brain hormones that make it stay in my memory.

Gah, that's the word I was looking for when I wrote my post xD, so ya that's the type of ending I ussually like too.

Chiibi · 2010-02-07, 17:47

I find tragic endings to be more memorable.....but I really prefer to remember anime WITHOUT feeling like my heart is being pricked by a thousand tiny needles....>_<

They're more memorable in a BAD way.

Though on the other hand, happy endings are really memorable too because SO FEW ANIME HAVE THEM.

Bittersweet endings are probably the most common......and I dislike them a great deal.

babohtea · 2010-02-07, 17:49

I like happy endings so I remember them better.

Full Metal Coast · 2010-02-07, 21:26

it all depends if wheter or not it is a good bad ending or a crap sad ending or vice versa for good ending.

Marcus H. · 2010-02-07, 21:28

I like good endings, but I like it better if everything important is resolved in the end.

Triple_R · 2010-02-07, 21:42

Happy endings are the most memorable for me.

A well-done happy ending is a real treat for me. I find it very satisfying on both an intellectual and emotional level.

A poorly done happy ending is also memorable... because it's usually a deus ex machina ending that comes out of nowhere, and it's the opposite of a real treat, lol.

Anyway, I would say that well-done happy endings are my favorite endings. It used to be well-done bittersweet endings but I honestly find them to now be a bit overly common, like Chiibi stated.

couldnt agree with you more that "Everything important must be resolved"

Marcus H. · 2010-02-08, 01:53

But in anime series nowadays, that's quite a rarity.

So I guess a happy ending can suffice.

Archon_Wing · 2010-02-08, 05:47

I just prefer an ending that is an ending. Don't leave us hanging!

risingstar3110 · 2010-02-08, 07:48

I voted for "sad ending" but i should take it back. Firstly because i prefer happy ending and will purposely try to forget any sad one. Secondly a perfect ending for me is while it's sad, i can sense a happy one coming...

In that sense, i will say Brave Heart and Higurashi have the best ending (as far as i remember) in movie and anime categories respectively.

Higurashi Kai's ending was wonderful, agreed. I really enjoyed that.

MeoTwister5 · 2010-02-08, 10:24

A sad, happy or open ended ending for me isn't that big of a deal so I can't really vote.

If anything, a believable ending that ties in with the story is what I prefer above it all. You can have a super sappy saccharine ending or a Tomino "Kill em all" depressing ending, but as long as the ending jives with the story concpet and structure I'm likely to like it anyway.
