I recall reading once Urobuchi's misgivings in re: happy endings, and I think I now understand them. There's just too much outstanding that makes it difficult to accept this as happy. "They tried really hard, so the universe changed the way it works" makes sense in Gurren Lagann-type shows, but feels out of place here. Everything being great forever, at least for our heroines, feels like cheating. The earlier parts of the show had such a foreboding, ominous feel to them that just having Yuuna try hard, punch out a sun (admittedly awesome), and have every single one of their problems disappear almost gives mood whiplash..

I'm not sure what you'd have preferred. Granted, I stopped watching awhile ago because I got extremely bored with it, but if the whole show was just the "duh duh...duh duh...duhduhdudhudhDUHDUH" from Jaws and the finale was the metaphorical shark finally eating them, would that have been any better? I felt like the ominous stuff was building up to reveals, instead of just waiting for them to horribly die.
