If you're willing to wait for something like that, to me it's more powerful than the standard American trope of It Always Ends With A Wedding Or Prom.


To me, shows like Hoshi no Koe, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, heck even Gunbuster set the stage for this kind of ending to happen. It fits in with the story's world. I get annoyed with shows like Allison and Lilia and Toradora! because they spoiler[ abruptly stuck on an "I'll always wait for you" ending AFTER the climax and resolution for no apparent reason other than "that's what's done".]
