Has there ever been an anime (not mango) with a satisfying ending?
You just posted it.

FMA: Brotherhood
FMA:B
Code Geass
Cowboy Bebop
Death Note

Yes.

Nice blog post.
>>144151441
Well, someone was satisfied.
>>144151328
Kill yourself.
>>144151215
I agree with Code Geass, but Death Note's manga ending was leagues better. The flashback was way more powerful a moment than Light running off. They left the punchline as an info card at the commercial break. It made it hard for me to enjoy the anime version.
Mahoromatic
I was super satisfied after watching energy kyouk!!
>>144151328
Is not the same? I don't want to watch brotherhood because I already saw the 2003 anime and it wasn't good enough for me to care about a remake.
I mean, yeah, it's the best anime according to MAL but
>MAL
>>144151571
What was the manga ending? Was is it that he endures all the deaths in the death note and tries to challenge the Shingami king or something?
>>144151619
MAL thinks every entry-level shounenshit is worthy of praise. You're not missing out on much, really. FMA is a competent shounen that is vastly overrated by casuals and newshits.
>>144151619
FMA: B follows the manga, FMA doesn't.
>>144151703
We have a dipshit like yourself thinking the masses don't know what is is good.
Share us what you think is a better shonen that FMA:B you faggot. Go on, amuse us.
>>144151619
FMA:B goes through the first maybe dozen episodes of the original FMA and it does it in like 3 episodes after that the stories diverge and FMA:B goes into arguably darker and more occult themes. I would say try out the first maybe half a dozen episodes of FMA:B and if you don't like it then just pass on to the next show you want to watch.
>>144151160
Evangelion has a really nice payoff. I liked Paranoia Agent's too.
>>144151619
They're almost identical up to a certain point, around the time they're exploring Lab 5 iirc
Then they go in completely different directions with different antagonists, characters, and endings. Brotherhood comes with China DLC.
>>144151160
Don't you watch anime? You should know that question yourself
Surprised it wasn't said, Eureka 7.
>>144151927
Paranoia Agent actually does have a really nice ending, although in my mind it gets overshadowed by "Radar Man" being such a good penultimate episode.
>>144151754

>>144152339
Yes, cart driver.
>>144151663
No, it's relatively the same.
Ryuk writes Light's name in the Death Note, and asks him if he remembers what he told him when they first met.
There's a flashback of Ryuk and Light talking in his room. Ryuk says "Those who use the Death note can neither go to Heaven or Hell."
And Light says "I don't believe in Heaven or Hell." Ryuk confirms that there's no such thing, you just stop existing and says 'death is equal'.
It cuts back to Light in the warehouse, he's obviously thinking of this moment as he's lying on the ground.
His last words are "Shit," and he dies right there in front of everyone. Ryuk flies off laughing.
There's an extra chapter, also, where Matsuda wonders if they did the right thing, and they show cult for Kira being led by a person who looks like Misa. It was just better.
>>144152363

>>144151160
Clannad, DBZ, Mushishi, Haruhi, K-On, Zeta Gundam, and most of the other stuff already talked about in this thread.

Great series.
Azumanga Daioh.
The only thing the anime did better than the manga.
Kaguya thanking Yukari for the memories gets me every time.
If we don't mind talking about a specific genre I think kimi ni todoke was probably one of the most solid anime romcoms that cleared everything.
>>144152395
The Clannad ending was fucking trash

Out of the well-known anime:

Nodame Cantabile

Steins;Gate
AnoHana
Code Gease
F/Z
Gosick
K
KLK
Schwarzesmarken
Granted a lot of these don't have a happy ending and a lot aren't original works but all the endings are "satisfying"
>pic related is the biggest fuck you anime ending
steins gate was satisfying for me.
>>144152451
Definitely this, the final parts close the series perfectly. There's no room for a continuation
Honorable mention to Tiger and Bunny as well - it could keep going, but everything they wanted to say for the main series was said so it ended well enough
haibane renmei; central conflict is resolved, side conflicts are resolved, and the mysteries are explained.
Toradora, i guess, it was a romance anime where they actually fucking kissed instead of being little bitches
This is the only objectively correct answer.
>>144151328

>>144151754
The Masses thought every tear jerker that A-1 releases is "a master piece" and their favourite line when commenting on an anime OP on youtube is "This song always makes me cry" followed by "me too, I thought I was the only one"

>>144151436

The ending of Jojo Part 6 is bitter sweet. It gave breath to new characters and powers but also killed off everyone. At the same time also making classic characters reappear and killing them off again

Satisfying ending. Satisfying. This has a good ending but it's extremely unsatisfying. Spike dies.
I haven't watched any of the others because I'm not a weeabo.
>>144156493
I would agree with you if it ended right after Squealer's scene, but the scene with the grown up kids just kinda implies that it was all for nothing
>>144156572
So you've only watched the most entry level things I mentioned, and you think an ending can't be satisfying if the main character doesn't get the girl, doesn't save the world or if he dies.
I'm impressed.

>>144157848
congrats on being special
>>144157739
>It really is, I disagree wholeheartedly. The whole series was unsatisfying, in a way.
I thought it was deeply satisfying in most respects. I like stories about found family. Michiko and Hatchin's journey concluded with the realization that they didn't need the person they thought they did. They had found something better.

I know that's the message, but it was hard for me to accept that progression when their relationship was basically to fight so violently they completely separate at least once every two episodes for the entire series.
The fact I actually live on the depicted country actually was kind of jarring too, because some of the geographic leaps that happen make absolutely no sense.
Naruto
>>144152389
Yeah, I liked how manga Matsuda made his case for Near using the death note.
But I also liked Light's death scene in the anime, where he sees L's ghost as he falls while climbing the stairs.
I thought Kokoro Connect had a fantastic ending.

Busou Renkin?
>>144158531
I thought their dependency on each other was portrayed naturally over time. Michiko especially underwent a great deal of development, learning to be less selfish bit by bit.
Their country was only based on Brazil. It's actually a fictional place. I understand how it might feel incongruous regardless, though.

>>144159822
>I'm guessing you're one of the retards that says that and somehow you think this thread is different from the ones you post that phrase in.
What?
I just fail to see how you can't even talk about anime anymore without it being a supposed rec thread.
>>144159823
Texhnolyze does not deal with the topics of Nihilism, I don't even see where that comes from.
I guess the suicide of the doctor and the unwillingness to "live" in the surface world has lead to that claim, but I really wouldn't call it nihilistic.
>>144159912
>Nihilism
>extreme skepticism maintaining that nothing in the world has a real existence.
That is literally the ending of the show
>>144159823
Nihilism is the belief that life in meaningless. But the show is a lot less pessimistic than that.
Even though the human race was coming to an end and things were crumbling, that doesn't mean any of the characters' lives were entirely meaningless. If anyone's life was meaningless, it was those who lived their entire lives on the surface world, besides Yoshii. Ichise spent most of his life without purpose like an animal, and being taken advantage of by others. But Ran treated with him kindness without expecting anything in return.
That he managed to experience that kindness and love before he died, and genuinely cared about someone else (Ran) even if it was only briefly, gave his life meaning. No matter how small it seemed.
If you're a purely collectivist goon that denies the individual, then sure his life might seem totally meaningless, since no individual or group could reverse what was happening to the last of the human race. But isn't finding even a little meaning in life even more powerful in the face of a civilization that has given up as a whole?
>>144160078
I agree with your analysis of the events in the show, but isn't take a take on nihilism you described?
Disagreeing with something is still dealing with that concept.
>>144159789
What? ending was pretty meh
>>144156683
>toradora
>implying they didnt fuck it up throughout the whole series
>muh forced romance
>>144160115
A truly nihilistic show wouldn't even exist, since it wouldn't matter if it existed or not. There was a nihilistic antagonist who denied reality, but the show itself is not nihilistic. Disagreeing with something doesn't make you essentially that thing.

Episode 9 was quite the cop-out that more or less said "we need to get this plot moving, pronto", but I quite enjoyed the last three episodes and felt like the buildup complimented the climax without having large, gaping holes in the plot.
More adventuring would be great, but when a show has a goal and finishes said goal in one cour without it feeling like an asspull, it counts as a satisfying ending in my book.

>>144160078
Nihilism is not inherently negative, it's just a philosophy that explores the fact that life has no objective meaning. If everything is meaningless then you might as well be nice to your fellows and try to make life pleasurable. Maybe along the way you can even manage to create a meaning of your own. Nihilism is what you choose it to be. This is the kind of nihilism Nietzsche advocated for.
