If you could change the ending to a anime what anime would that be and how would your ending go?
Mine would be InuYasha. The final battle. Everyones getting their a$$ kicked except Sesshomaru and Kikyo. The rest of the gang is beaten and bloody. Naraku goes after Kagome but InuYasha jumps in the way of the attack. Kagome gasps as usaul. InuYasha's on the ground out for the count. Kagome in a rage launches an attack , but Naraku delects it to everyone surprise. Nuraku knocks Kagome to the ground. Miroku, Shippo and Sango, attack again, but this time are killed. Sesshomaru, and Kikyo launch attack but it fails. Naraku attacks them, but Sesshomaru dodges and Kikyo hit his tentacle with an arrow.Then goes after Kagome once again. She closes her eye waiting for her death to come, but at the last second while yelling KKKAAGOOMMEE!!! whatevers InuYasha's most powerful attack is at the time comes out of nowhere and destroys Nuraku. InuYasha uses the last of his strength to launch that attack and falls to the ground. Kagome runs over to him and he dies in her arms. She crys. Kikyo crys. Sesshomaru tries to use his sword to bring InuYasha back but he's too far gone. With a "Humph" Sesshomaru sheaths his sword and walks away. Kikyo helps Kogome bury her friends bodies, and then walks away with tears in her eyes. With her business finished her body, in the forest falls to the ground while fading away releasing the souls she captured to keep her alive. Kagome goes back to her own time sad and depressed. A month later not quite over the events Kagome is at school. Nothings the same to her anymore. she's walking down the hall remenising about everyone. She looks up and sees a person with long silver hair, wearing red and with a baseball cap. Her eyes widen and she runs to him thinking "InuYasha". He turns around its just some regular kid. She trys to stop but runs into him. He gets mad and yells at her. The same attitude as InuYasha and the same look in his eyes. Two other students who seem like a couple a boy and a girl stop the see if everything is ok. The girl is holding a pale yellow cat in her arms. They all stare at each other for a little while and say all at once, "Have we met before." The all laugh. A little boy with short black hair the shows up. Its the girls little brother. She had forgotten her lunch. The boys brother then also shows up with a book he had forgoten. His brother has bushy brown hair. [edit - changed subject to reflect post. -b] |

Ick...oh yeah, that's all we need is another "reincarnation ending."
 I always felt those were basically just an excuse for:
1. Not being able to come up with anything more original. 2. Being able to kill off main characters without angering the viewers. (spoiler[Wolf's Rain, anyone?]) To me, this tactic is almost as irritating as the old "Character X was completely dead, but due to the power of magic/love/reincarnation/etc... he's alive again!!!" There’s an endless list of series that are guilty of doing this, but a recent example would be spoiler[Mai-HiME]. I would be extremely upset if Inuyasha ended this way, however, judging by how unoriginal a lot of the series is, I wouldn't be surprised. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Inuyasha, but much of it was less than innovative. Anyway, everyone would still be dead. Sure, it would be their souls, but without their memories, the very things that make them who they are, they wouldn't be Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha, they would just be three teens who look like them, even if their personalities were similar. As for an ending I'd like to change...there are too many to list here, I think. But, the endings that irritate me most are endings with a huge amount of loose ends, and endings that leave big questions unanswered, especially if said questions were a major part of the plot. In these cases, it just seems almost as if no one cared to put enough effort into a proper ending. I'm not saying that I want every single tiny little loose end tied up, or every minute question answered, but if nothing is tied up, and huge questions aren’t even addressed, I almost feel like I've been tricked into watching an incomplete series. |

That wasn't what happened at the end of Inuyasha. That ending was completely made up by the poster. Therefore, there was no need for spoiler tags. |

Well think about it. Thats the only way the show could end without the sappy "They kill Nuraku and live happily Ever After." I mean if it doesn't end that way what else could they do for the ending?

i couldn't agree more. another recent one that pissed me off with this tactic was spoiler[Madlax] god i hate endings like this with a passion. it's a very lazy half and assed method of storytelling usually done for marketing and/or fanservice. |

And your reason is? I thought it ended well, especially after watching the movie in conjunction. It was a happy ending of sorts, but also had an element that didn't make it perfect or maybe even a little sad because of everything that happened just to get there. As for endings I don't like, I'd have to say Rurouni Kenshin because of the obvious debacle that is season 3. I haven't read the Jinchuu arc yet, but I started collecting the manga about a month ago and hope to catch up soon. Then of course there's Hellsing, with a series that got my hopes all high and eventually crushed them at the end in a mere 5 episodes by: spoiler[ Practically killing off the entire Hellsing Organization.] However, there will be a chance for some rectification with the OAV (and I hope they continue to make more  ).
And last, there is the obvious choice for Inu Yasha. I'm still wondering if my overall rating of "Good" is worth what I saw. I mean, I love the episodes where they actually hunt down Naraku and all, but as many people have seen, that's just not the point of the story 80% of the time. I would hope there is an ending to be animated someday, but for now, I'm really dissapointed. Could anyone please tell me if the manga is any better in terms of content  ?

Alright the two titles I think that need the ending changed are 12 Kingdoms and Gundam Wing, less discuss the former first. First off 12 Kingdoms which didn't conclude any of the story arc that were leading up the three girls arc aka " A great distance in the wind, the sky at dawn" for those of you who have the DVDs. I would like to see where manga left off and to hopefully end some of these intriguing storylines.
When I think about it now this is much like Kenshin where the Anime is at the same place as the manga and anime just splits off into a different (crappy) direction. As much as I love Gundam Wing, I have to say it's ending was way too happy so to speak. I really would of like to see it end more like how the Endless Waltz begins where life in the colonies and life on earth has gradually begun a movement toward peace, but still there will linger the spirit of war of Mankind. So changes I would like to make to GW I wouldn't want Trieize to die just because it seems after a great war there would come a time for someone to unite both outerspace and earth. And with Miliardo out of the pictures (sorta), it only makes sense that he do it. Relena ideal lifestyle in a world that all of us would hope to see, but it's really just an idea, that why I would want Trieize to lead since he recoginze the value of life and yet also see that 'losers' will always be shaping a new world. Delta Kiral P.S. I am going to Final Fantasy tonite HOORAY!! talk to you all later. |

I somewhat agree on the Twelve Kingdoms. Though I enjoyed the endings to the 1st and 3rd arc the 2nd one was never resolved and still leaves too many questions to just end it there. I was disappointed by that as well, but think it is most likely due to the production being cancelled prematurely. I hope they bring the anime back and finish things up, I doubt it will happen, but it never hurts to hope.

I think I found a place to do a WHR rant...
It's been abut a year and a half since I've seen the Witch Hunter Robin ending, but I still freak about it. I think the last episode would have been perfect as a lead in for a second season, but that's just a fan's wishful thinking. They could've just continued on or at least told a little more about the chracters' lives after the incident. It seemed the ending was crammed into a few episodes, jsut after the plot took off. I'd like them at least put a little more into what Michael's life is like after spoiler[Solomon HQ is destroyed.] Y'know, like a more proper conclusion than "okay, everyone's lives go back to normal and...that's all folks. A vague alternative ending, I know, but almost anything would be better than the one now. -_- |

I've read somewhere that originally Eva ep. 25 was gonna tie up most of the plot threads, and that Eva: Rebirth was a reworked expanded version of what they meant to do with Ep. 25. They apparently didn't have the money and time to do it right, so instead of resolve the story they just abandoned it and went straight to the Human Instrumentality Project. I think if they'd done it according to the original plan most of the controversy over Eva would have been avoided. I don't think most people really minded the avant-garde style of the end, they just minded that so many plot threads didn't get resolved!

Yeah there are a few I would like to change, EVA being on top of the list, but one has to remember that with any anime that has a continuing manga running next to it, the anime ending will have to be a bit ambiguous in order not to ruin the manga and vice-versa.

Well I didn't like the show in the first place so I wasn't going to like the ending no matter what. |
