Times you finished a series and didn't regret it.

>>281288848 (OP)
I literally can't think of any... Not one.

>>281288848 (OP)
I thought that I'd never be satisfied with the ending as long as the MC doesn't get with the nice girl but him ending up with the tsundere was a nice touch.

Too bad good manga like this will never get an animated movie.

>>281288848 (OP)
Ashita No Joe, I still think about the ending from time to time

Shigurui still stays as my favorite fictional ending.

>>281288848 (OP)
Ten's ending was great too

Steins;Gate

>>281288848 (OP)
Blade of the Immortal's ending was pretty good.

I really liked Orb's ending and dungeon meshi's ending.

>>281288848 (OP)
Dororo's ending was better than the entire last 1/3rd of the series. Made it worth suffering through. Waifu mode engaged.

>>281288848 (OP)
Yugami will always be my answer. The ending is just fucking great

>>281288848 (OP)
Bonnouji

One of the only times I've been hit with the "and life went on" kind of ending while still being satisfied.

>>281288848 (OP)
The best romance of the century

>>281292474
It shows a series doesn't need to be good in order to have a good ending. The sheer level of misunderstanding retardation Maison Ikkoku went through the last arc in order to keep the love quadrant going as far as it did was just insane.

I miss the 2000's and the old Type-Moon so much

Inu x Boku SS is one of the few endings where I have no complaints about

>>281291766
10/10 choice

>>281288848 (OP)
Unironically HxH chapter 339 is one of the best endings of all time. Too bad he "continued" it instead of just making the current content a separate spinoff or epilogue

>>281288848 (OP)
Had fun with it
>>281288941
Short but sweet

>>281288848 (OP)
The ending of Onani Master Kurosawa is trash.
>I came in a student's backpack, sorry guys
>Nah, it's okay, wanna party?

I still remember how melancholic the last chapter felt.
>>281290699
>>281291314
Top tier endings.

>>281290699
>Spend entire manga showing these two as absolute pinnacle of sword fighters specializing in their autistic styles
>Final fight is just two retards flailing around

I don't think it was supposed to be funny, but it was to me.

Undead Unluck

>>281292776
KnK is one of the best urban fantasies out there. I've liked some of Type Moon's stuff after watching KnK--Fate/Zero's great, and I enjoyed Fate/Stay Night, but neither really compare to KnK's more restrained approach with magic.

>>281294996
Mahoyo was the closest experience for me, it's quite different but the vibes are just as good as KnK so if you didn't read it you really should, i'm sure you will love it

Best romcom ever, best ending, best everything

I clapped

Great novel
Perfect manga
Wonderful Hollywood film

>>281295342
It's been on my radar for a while but I keep putting off buying it. It's on sale at the moment so I might finally pick it up, but it's supposed to be part of a trilogy, isn't it? How rounded was the ending? Would you say it was conclusive enough as a lone title or is it obvious there should be more at the end?

>>281288848 (OP)
Boku no pico

>>281295724
I really don't think Nasu will keep his promise about the trilogy so don't get your hopes too high on this one. See with Tsukihime Remake, we can't trust anything from Nasu/Takeuchi anymore. But it would be such a waste to not experience Mahoyo because of that. The ending is satisfying and i felt that it was a story with a beginning and an end, but at the same time you crave for more, you can feel that it's only the beginning of a bigger story.

>Stealth rec-thread
>>281291314
>Ten's ending was great too
Was gonna post that. Too bad the same can't be said for Gin to Kin.
Time to read Akagi.

>>281295920
I'll give it a shot then. I've been longing for some decent Nasuverse content and it looks like the only thing left for me. We can hope that maybe, if the film adaptation is successful, they'll announce a sequel game finally.

>>281292407
Teacher fucker

>>281295510
Insanely overrated

>>281297823
This shit is the only manga that made me like a rivalry
(Grey/Natsu and Shinra/Arthur don't count)

>>281291766
Finished this a few weeks ago. I was surprised by how good the ending was

>>281298940
It's not even an open ending at all

Let me blatantly cheat by posting Mizukami ending

>>281294384
>pfh, fine, I'll date you baka

>>281295510
Shit romcom, with unnecessary (all the girls like the MC!) and a pathetic boring character who can't move on until the very end of the manga.

>>281291766
One of the best endings for a romcom/SoL ever.

>>281299321
It never even occurred to me to mention Mizukami. The guy is in a different liege.
>>281300000
Checked.

>>281291766
Patrician taste

> Bokutachi ga Yarimashita
I was having a lot of fun with this manga but the ending made it memorable.

> girls' last tour
The ending really fit well with the entire theme/vibe

> Kokou no Hito
I really love this manga a lot. It feels like we follow the MC through a very tiring journey where he progresses and regresses as a person, and the ending gave the journey a pretty nice closure.

> Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou
rare romcom where the MC had to actually work hard to get the girl


Apart from these i also liked yugami-kun, punpun, aku no hana, the fable, dungeon meshi, kengan asura.

Can't think of any more off the top of my head but I'm sure there are more that were able to 'satisfy' me

>>281288941
I'm still not sure what happened but when reading this and realized i was like 5 chapters away from the ending i autist'd out and stopped reading it, i didn't want it to end.

Mushibugyou

>>281297937
Are Gray and Natsu even rivals? I'd think they are too buddy buddy and Natsu mogs him way too hard to even consider them that.

>>281302301
>The ending really fit well with the entire theme/vibe
That's what I'd say about ACCA 13, I'd have been disappointed if it ended any differently

>>281291766
I'm in the middle of this, do they end up together?

>>281295510
JWWW is far from best anything, but I will admit the ending was great.

>>281299321
the "romance" in this was so contrived that the series would have benefited from omitting it entirely

>>281302771
It was one of the most awesome things about it.

>>281302418
that's fair, but it is a very solid ending.
mega spoilers for the final chapter

>>281302771
>contrived
It's literally a centerpiece of the story and a culmination of their several lives

>>281288848 (OP)
This is the greatest manga about cooming I've ever read

>>281291659
You are me.

>>281302514
I was disappointed by it at first, not because I expected some high octane resolution, but I at least wanted that shitty brat and the aunt to get some comeuppance
still a great series tho

>>281291486
Steins;Gate has one of the most unearned happy endings I've seen, it's shit.

>>281303088
There's not many good manga focused on the act of cooming...

>>281305223
Which is why it's the greatest one I've read.

Toriko

>>281300638
Are they okay?

>>281302671
No

>>281302671
It's a fake open ending anon. Once you end it you'll know the exact answer to your question

>>281306102
What's this?

>>281306122
I didn't read it or watch it and still instantly recognized it. Step up your game.

>>281306165

Still don't recognize it

>>281288848 (OP)
I didn't like the ending to this one personally. Maybe I'm just bitter, but the whole "you are only an outcast because you don't open up to people" thing bothers me because it isn't really true in my experience. I also don't like how delinquent-chan is suddenly a good person now, even though I understand the point being made about reflecting on the past and making an effort to change

The masturbation shenanigans were good though, I would have liked more of that desu

>>281291733
Thoughts on Dark Side of Dimensions?

>>281288848 (OP)
Good fucking god, the way this series picks up is something worthy of being studied. The first 12 or episodes are pretty weak, but once Kazuki gets the Mark Sein and goes back to Tatsumiyajima, it never stops. And that final stretch? Amazing, simply amazing. Them fighting Nicth had me on the edge praying no one would die. It's such a good ending it made thoroughly satisfied with it and it almost makes me wish it had continuations. Even if Exodus is better in almost every regard, DA still holds such a special ending that it makes me like it more.

My heart cummed

>>281295720
manga or anime

>>281306893
Loner stories in general largely fail to account for the issue that some people are simply unlikeable even if they aren't necessarily bad people. It's not a great kind of protagonist afterall.

Strongest Man Kurosawa is probably the only type of story like this I've seen that acknowledges that harsh truth but still keeps itself dignified

>>281307634
I guess it's hard to make a realistic story about outcasts without making it overly depressing, or turning it into torture porn. People usually want a positive ending and character development in a story. I did enjoy Strongest Man Kurosawa, I think it manages to avoid this issue by having a protagonist who just refuses to give up regardless of how shit things get.

>>281288848 (OP)
Prison Lab.

Golden Kamuy had a pretty solid ending

>>281308362
A man was groomed and all you have to say is that it had a "solid" ending. This is why men are treated like disposable rags.

>>281307562
both, but with the anime I was pleasantly surprised at the drama CD
>Aichou's Wedding
which was a wonderful, 'life goes on' cap off for the series.

>>281288848 (OP)
Good choice, OP. Onanie Master Kurosawa is one of the best stories of redemption ever.

>>281306893
I liked it because it showed how delusional the MC was. The reason this scene surprised so many was because the audience was dragged along into his delusions.
It perfectly encapsulates that Middle school - Early High school period where you think it's uncool to stick out, but really it's that feeling is fueled by fear. Broccoli was a great guy. And at the end when he finally recognizes that fear, confessing because he doesn't want to be held back by it, I think that's amazing.

>>281288848 (OP)
O-Host.
It got a bit Cerberus syndrome-y towards the end but overall I think it had a good ending. The best ship wins in the most dramatic way possible, and everything with Tamaki's issues and that of his family's gets resolved pretty well, and I found his eventual bond with his grandmother to turn out pretty touching. I really highly recommend it to people who watched, and liked the anime (which sort of had to rush a similar conclusion. It's a bit different in places, but regardless, it's a classic.

>>281308922
I thought that stuff was well done too, it's just the developments that happen after he confesses to being the cum bandito that didn't seem right to me

>>281311236
I thought of it as akin to exposure therapy. He grew a thicker skin after all the bullying.

>>281288848 (OP)

>>281310725
I need to give Ouran a reread

>>281288848 (OP)
Although I tend to think that anime viewers' definition of a "satisfying" ending is an utterly impossible hallucinatory ideal, a number of shows have had endings that thoroughly satisfied me.

That said, nothing else has ever come remotely close to the final run of Ojamajo Doremi. Even if the actual very last episode isn't the strongest, holy crap, the whole concluding arc is gut-wrenchingly and beautifully moving.

>>281308922
>The reason this scene surprised so many was because the audience was dragged along into his delusions.
That's why I love reading the series twice
First time, you're on the MCs side and thought this was bullshit betrayal
On the second, you suddenly realize the MC is an asshole and Afro guy was a good friend

>>281288848 (OP)
Off the top of my head:
Welcome to the NHK (Anime version), Clannad: Afterstory, and Hellsing ultimate have all had really satisfying endings for me

>>281308435
>A man was groomed and all you have to say is that it had a "solid" ending.

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. What does that say about me? I should read more series aimed at women like this?

>>281308362
The ending itself yes, but the final arc was shit

Gunbuster, LOGH, Texhnolyze, Aria, and Revue Starlight off the top of my head

anyway I need to read more manga

Any day I see Onani Master pop up is a good day.
To answer the question, Parasyte and Bakuman.

>>281288848 (OP)
Chikan otoko, Rewrite, and Air
>>281292776
Yeah, what I like about Mahoyo, KnK, and Tsukihime is how they make the events feel like just urban legends or occult stuff, keeping things as weird shit in a back alley or the forest. I hate how Fate turns it into a battleground and makes it too exposed, though

Light's Death in the Death Note manga.
So many say they like him running away from Ryuk and dying halfway up the flight of stairs because "muh symbolism of being half-way to heaven"
Fuck that. Watching Light come to realization of his mortality and break down crying in front of everyone like a little bitch was far more cathartic.

>>281314531
The siege wasn't my favorite, but the train stuff just felt like it cut off in the middle of things in a weird way.
Like one chapter we have Ogata putting the screws to Tsurumi and forcing him into a partnership where Ogata holds all the power for once, and then he dies the next chapter after having a poison induced schizophrenic breakdown and the entire story moves on like none of that happened. Then instead of Tsurumi being beaten by being outsmarted for the first time, a proper comeuppance, he's just wiped out except not really.

>>281310725
>Cerberus syndrome-y
The author went on femcel rants about how men are the root of all evil in the world and that the penis is a symbol of evil?

>>281316026
The last arc rushed too many things and Noda showed his gigatic bias towards his favorite characters and "supreme Japanese genes". The final nail in the coffin for me was he changing the ending of some characters that somehow made things even worse

>>281306893
Within the confines of the story, the message works. Even if not applicable to everyone in real life.
>>281307634
Interesting thing to bring up. SMK is one of the few stories to not sugarcoat the fact some people doomed to isolation.

>>281305795
They're together and living happily on a milk farm.

>>281291486
S;G never became good enough to make up for how boring the first part was. It kind of felt like a waste of time.

>>281291659
Same, except I headcanon Laios impregnating Marcille and later Falin.

That's a you problem.
