That ending sucked, the season was overall good, but Jack did not ever need a romance story and it added nothing to the show for me. As far as finales go though, it's pretty okay except for how loving fast it moved jesus.

We got a whole episode where Jack and Ashi figure out how to work a roomba before making out, we got the important bits

I was expecting it to end with a flash forward to the future without Aku and see all of Jack's friends living happy lives or something. Instead he just kind of left them and now they no longer exist anymore?

Also does Jack still not age? Or did going through the time portal fix that problem?

they defeat the Anti-Spirals and save the universe, but they take massive casualties in the final battle, and Nia fades out of existence

I mean, it's nigh impossible to have a good enough finale after all that waiting, in my opinion. I'm having a hard time thinking of a show that came back from that long of a hiatus and managed to deliver on all the promises, so....

The main character's love interest vanishes into light during their wedding because by defeating the big bad they erase her existence. I honestly hate that ending because it's transparently contrived to gently caress with the audience and this was probably better-executed even if I cared about the characters less.

It needed to happen so there'd be stakes--some reason for Jack to stay in the future or not just undo everything. But then they didn't do anything with that and went TTGL on the ending which kind of defeated the purpose

It wasn't a perfect final season but I enjoyed the majority of it and I'm glad to see my boy Jack finally make it back to the past. He lost the lady that he loved for like three episodes but at least Aku is dead

I feel like there's a difference between unsatisfying ending and what we ultimately got. Like, they just decided to give one last middle finger to anyone that actually cared about the romance.

you know, if you're gonna crib the ending of Gurren Lagann, i feel like you HAVE to do it in such a way as to court controversy and people saying it sucked/was unsatisfying, 'cause otherwise you're not really cribbing from GL, are you?

The reason to stay could have just been all the friends Jack made along the way who were willing to throw their lives away for him, but nope, they don't exist anymore I guess.

Yeah, they could have given a schlocky happy ending for the heck of it and I would have been a mark and been ok with it, but instead its a downer ending because it's "art", and the Strong Female Character they put a massive amount of time on this season dies abruptly
