Anime Endings that made you go WTF!?

Just like with Soluri's thread, avoid giving spoilers

1. The ending to Sister Princess.

Spoiler

I was absolutely mind fucked that the whole reason why Wataru Minakami was sent to the place where the story revolved around was an attempt to "straighten" him out as he was turning gay being enrolled at an all boys school. To which I was kinda annoyed because the anime then was stating the old "assumption" that homosexuality is a choice & that a homosexual can be turned straight provided he/or she was subjected to a heterosexual environment, which may work for others, but if the protagonist was truly gay, you can put him in a room full of women but it wouldn't do squat to him.

2. The Ending to Chobits, Saber Marrionette J & Cho Hatsumei Boy Kanipan .

I've ranted about this before on my "I hated Megaman Zero" thread. I absolutely am disgusted with stories about humans falling in love with robots.

3. The Ending to Galaxy Express 999.

Now this Anime truly had a fucked up ending, not only did the protagonist feel totally messed up about his encounter with a bad twist of fate it turns out the killer of his mother he was looking for was just a duplicate of a far larger being.

4. The Ending to Magic Knight Rayearth.

What's more fucked up & annoying than being summoned to a strange far off land & given the title & powers of a hero only to find out your mission was to assist in murder!?

5. The Ending to Thunder Sub "Blue Noah".

Spoiler

Not exactly the ending per se, but the episodes leading to it. After all the trouble the Gothamites.... no this isn't Batman OK, left their planet to find a new home then finding, ruining & conquering the Earth, it turns out their savior leader was actually an incompetent pompous asshole who ultimately led their race's extinction.(

6. The Ending to the first season of Ojamajo Doremi.

Spoiler

Really!? Giving up all that magical power to save your arch nemesis' life who is not only a total bitch but isn't exactly your friend.

7. The Ending to the first season of Tonde Buta.

Spoiler

You already have the means to fulfill your wildest dream & you throw it all away because you don't want to part ways with the one who'll fulfill it for you

 

Rurouni Kenshin's OVA ending. The manga had such a fantastic ending, the anime ending was like some bad, sadistic fanfic by a guy who hates the series.

 

Death Note, the manga was a bit different in the ending...

Spoiler

Ryuuk kills Light in front of the cops, while in the anime, Light dies on the stairs suffering a hearth attack by Ryuuk.

 

Any early UC Gundam series.

Oh, and I didn't get the ending I wanted in Gurren Lagann >=(

Spoiler

Nia dies, Simon gives the core drill up and becomes a wandering hermit, everyone ages terribly except Viral. The end. With love, Gainax.

 

For the folks comparing & commenting on the differences of a series' ending based on its Anime against its manga version, that does not count in this discussion.

It is common practice in the Anime & manga industry that endings & even the entire plot of a series gets revamped when it gets transferred from the original manga to an animated series.

What I absolutely hate though is when they totally change everything about a series to fit the theme or concept they have envisioned for the series that often times ruins the original character/s &/or story. Take for example the 2000 remake of Astroboy, I absolutely hated that remake because they upgraded Astroboy so much that he became a Megaman Rip-off, even though Megaman was kind of an Astroboy ripoff himself. I also hated how they made the series darker, I grew up watching the old 70's & 80's version of Astroboy who was fun loving & so caring, why the fuck they had to turn the show dark is so messed up to me.

Same thing with Shin Mazinger Z, I absolutely loved the original 70's cartoon, but the remake was so effin' dark! Getter Robo, Tetsujin 28 & Cyborg 009 also got remade into darker versions

Oh & Another anime that kinda made go "huh!?" because I was left still confused was Love Hina because it was never personally resolved who Keitaro's "childhood love" was & it was left for the audience to piece together on their own, though I am certain that she was Narusegawa though

 

... Cowboy Bebop...

Spoiler

WHY DID SPIKE DIIEEEEE D'=

 

Love Hina Again

 

gantz... i wonder when i see the manga and everything was diferent

 

ending that make me go WTF?

well it have to be Lain.... but then that whole anime make me go WTF >.>

i dont understand Lain at all....

 

I loved Lain! ^^
It's a psychological anime w/ a lot of philosophy and science and stuff!
Make sure to do some research on the subjects discussed in it like the dolphins and frequencies. =3

 

How has nobody mentioned Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt?

Spoiler

The world is saved, and corset is crushed. As panty and stocking walk home, stocking asks panty if angels' weapons can harm other angels. panty does not know. Stocking finds out by cutting panty into 666 pieces and reveals she is actually a demon. Corset grows out of Brief's cock, and hops off with stocking as they leave the trail of panty's remains to lead to a city where they can once again use brief to summon a demon. W.T.F.

 

Meh, I dunno, with everything else I've seen of the series the ending wasn't really that much of a wtf moment for me.

 

One reason I could give for remakes becoming more "darker" is that the original viewers of the show have matured and grown up. During development of the remake, the creators probably believed rising the shows maturity was a good idea considering the large majority of their fans will be above 20 years of age.

Not saying it's a good idea for the said animes, just pointing out why the remakes may have been more darker.

 

[me=Natewlie]surprised at no mention of Evangelion.[/me]

It's not that confusing, it's just that I never really expected it.

I'm pretty sure the show's not done yet.

Yoko's chin turned into a man chin, wtf.

Oh yeah, Abenobashi made me WTF, it really wasn't the ending I wanted. For a story talking about how escapism isn't the best thing to do, the ending was basically promoting escapism and thus nothing was learned. Retarded.

 

Old Yoko's titties almost made me /wrist =(

 

The only thing about Evangelion that made me go WTF!? were the sex scenes... a few were implied though. I was surprised because the anime was meant to be shown to kids. And sadly this started a trend with other Mecha anime meant for kids showing love making, but not hardcore stuff though, like with Eureka 7 & several Gundam Shows.

LOL! Yeah, Lain can totally mind fuck one bad.

 

almost any gainax ending nuff' said

 

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt

Yeah wtf indeed.

 

Elfen Lied, WHY AN OPEN ENDING

 

no. They all die.
