I actually didn't mind the ending to season 1 of Yuuki Yuuna. It was season 2 that went downhill for me way earlier for many many reasons (nationalism, suffering, dumb character choices yay)

I was like 'haha tougou is such a wacky nationalist' and washio sumi had a few funny gags on it too and then...
and then they did the cgi propaganda dance number........ why..............

Almost everything Ichiro Sakaki has written that's been adapted with a "proper" ending that, while more or less loyal to how the novel/manga ends, it feels hella rushed: Scrapped Princess, Chaika and Code E. It's almost always the same.

Chaika felt fine, though? They solve the big conspiracy that's been going on since season 1, all the characters get to the end of their character arcs (small though those arcs may be) and the show ends with everyone getting a more or less happy ending after saving the world.

Didn't season 2 felt a little too rushed? Like they coulda used those 2-3 additional episodes so that the last battle wouldn't feel so... shall we say "poof"?

the anime heavily truncates whats going on in the last battle, which was originally an entire LN volume; a lot of the enemy chars at the end dont resolve in any meaningful way after a lot of build-up over the series. presumably this could've been avoided if kadokawa wasn't stuck on their '10 episodes per cour' BS.

Last night I had a dream where I got in a fist fight with Charlie Day, but then we started pissing together to wake up some rear end in a top hat and I feel like maybe I should stop rewatching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia for a while.

Then I decided that's dumb so that's all I'm gonna see today: The whole 4th season of IASIP until I get tired or hungry. Also, I gotta go vote right after my shift ends. I really hope the Trump-like candidate doesn't win. :ohdear:

What anime has an ending so bad that it retroactively ruins the entire show?

Rage of Bahamut - Virgin Soul. Easy.

She marries Hitler but to make it more sad and dramatic they turn it into this hole Ladyhawke thing where one of them is blind and one of them's mute so this tragic romantic couple except for, remember, the guy is a genocidal maniac.

In the story wants you to empathize with them because hey maybe he wasn't so bad he made the "tough decisions". Maybe he had to kill and enslave all those cute demon kids, am I right?

And they kill off Kaiser, which is a terrible decision because is friendship/rivalry with Favaro is the best part of Rage of Bahamut, but then immediately bring him back as a zombie, robbing even that decision of it's narrative weight.

They spend such a huge part of the finale focusing on this weird rear end hole who nobody cares about, Alexander....

It's just such a mess on nearly every level.

drat it I'm still mad. How the hell do you ruin such a gorgeous looking, gorgeous sounding show. How do you ruin the most amazing premise of all time, super-powerel genki girl who turns into a Dragon Of Mass Destruction when she runs into a cute boy.

How the hell do you ruin FAVAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i mean, what did you expect with him dying in the arms of a zombie necromancer who is in love with him. really, this was the natural outcome for his character

WTF, in the first 3 or so eps I watched they had him setup as the generic villain ruler guy. Welp one less on my backlog :\

oh lol I just got to this page, I didn't realize it was the thing I just picked up

I was hopeful this was going to be cute and funny but holy poo poo his hostility toward that girl in ch2 was extremely off-putting. I'm disappointed and this one isn't going on my read list b/c that was just not funny or ok.

Hes not an incel, he clearly has opportunities to meet women and is knowingly throwing them away because they dont conform to the stupid life plan hes laid out for himself

Incels have convinced themselves that all women look at them as subhuman monsters and consciously avoid any sort of contact with women.
