What shows did a great job at ending? Here are mine:[I]

• Silent Mobius
• Cowboy Bebop
• Gundam Wing
• Gundam SeeD
• s-CRY-ed
• Boogiepop Phantom
• Blue Seed
• Sailor Moon S
• Tenchi Universe
• Tenchi Muyo!
• Last Exile
• Big O
• Serial Experiments Lain

I agree on Cowboy Bebop, sCRYed, Tenchi Univers/Muyo, and Gundam Wing. I think Wolf's Rain had a good ending as well. I can't think of any others right now, plus, I have to go. Piano lesson.

Very rarely does an anime have a good ending. I disagree with Sailor Moon S, though. Chibiusa came back. That's the worst ending they could've done.

Magic Knight Rayearth (1st series) had, in my opinion, the best ending of any anime. I mean, they seriously could not have done a better job with that than they did. That whole last episode was like a kick in the face. It ruled.

The ending of Full Moon wo Sagashite was also pretty good. If nothing else, it wasn't quite so cliched as most endings of that type.

There's probably more, I'll have to go look them up.

Also, the ending of the first series of Those Who Hunt Elves. It was awesomely hilarious.

Letsee...

-Chobits
-Haibane
-Escaflowne
both Rayearth seasons (well the second season had to wrap it up)
-RahXephon
-Sailor Moon 1st season and Sailor Stars
-first Kenshin OVAs
-Digimon Adventure and Tamers

That's all I can think of.

If Xephon had an understandable ending, it might be good...

Last Exile
Cowboy Bebop
Outlaw Star
Mobile Suit Gundam: 08th MS Team
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Chobits
RahXephon

Inuyasha
Gundam SEED
Cowboy Bebop
Last Exile
.// Hack Sign
Witch Hunter Robin

Full Moon wo Sagashite was immensely fulfilling for me. It stands out most boldly in my mind.

Inuyasha, you serious? I'd probably stick that on my WORST ending list... no offense though^^ But it was VERY disappointing for me :/

Last Exile, Noir, Scrapped Princess, and Full Moon O Sagashite are endings that ENDED without leaving you feeling like too much was left unexplained. Those are the only ones that come to mind off the top of my head. I'd include Cowboy Bebop except I hated what happened to one of the main characters in the end!

I would have to say Maison Ikkoku had the best ending to an anime series I have ever watched.

Didn't Tenchi Muyo not even HAVE an ending, unless your referring to the end of the new 3rd OVA?

my favorite endings are...

Magic Knight Rayearth Season 1
Sailor Moon Sailor Stars (Best ending EVER!)
Yugioh DM
Slayers Next
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Magical Project S
Xenosaga the animation

Best Endings? I'd have to say Noir, R.O.D., Escaflowne, Witch Hunter Robin, and RahXephon. Yeah, RahXephon's last couple episodes are pretty much unintelligable, but I thought the ending was good, even if it left you wondering what the series was actually about.

Inuyasha?! Good ending? XDDDD *falls over laughing*

ehem...

Haibane Renmei.. Omigosh I cried buckets but it turned out so good
Cowboy Bebop: hated what happened but it was really the perfect ending.
Scrapped Princess: The twist was great
Fullmoon wo Sagashite
Last EXILE was okay but it was a little bit confusing
ROD TV

Tenchi Universe was a TV series, not a OVA

I know that. But you listed both Tenchi Universe and Tenchi Muyo for best ending.

I liked the ending to RahXephon too, though I agreed it didn't shed much light on the whole story. Without doing any spoilers, I've got to say I laughed at the baby in the end. I found that a little weird, but not too much so (I hope that sentence is clear enough without giving anything away).

Maybe its just me, but I quite liked the ending to Trigun. I don't think I've seen it mentioned yet in this thread.

Cool, I'm not the only one. While it left some things open to speculation, I thought it was a good way end that series.

Let's see.

Cowboy Bebop is first on the list. The last two episodes STILL give me chills.

Air comes next. GAH, love it. Love it, love it, love it.

Magic Knight Rayearth I has a MOST fantastic ending. It's so unexpected, and so well done. MKR II; however, leaves something to be desired, I thought. Still good, though.

I liked Trigun's ending. Good form, I say. ;D

Inuyasha

InuYasha? Ending? I'm beginning to wonder if there IS one. XD

As for s-CRY-ed...Guh. I spent 26 weeks watching that show every Saturday, and they gave me THAT ending. XD I'm still sad about [SPOILER]Cougar. And Kimishima. And Ayase. And like, everyone else that died...>.>[/SPOILER]

Cowboy Bebop definitely has one of the better endings that I have seen.

The Vampire Princess Miyu TV series had an ending that was fairly disturbing but also very well done. This series was highly episodic in places, but the last several episodes were excellent.

Millennium Actress and Gunslinger Girl both had very touching endings, particularly the latter; the use of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" in Gunslinger Girl was very fitting.

Lousy anticipating ending >_< I'm sorry, but it was pretty bad! I thought it would be some spectacular thing but apparently there was no more budget (so I'm assuming).
I bet ya anything those fans that ONLY know Inuyasha off CN will "wait for new eps" when they play the actual ending. Sitting there thinking "I thought they were showing new eps... why did the series start all over again?"
Oy... -_-;

s-Cry-ed hads a good ending but i thought it coulda been ended the episode b4 26 but thats just me and i also liked the ending of trigun

Out of all the anime endings I've seen...

Cowboy Bebop

Pretear

I have many favorite endings of anime, but the ending to Jin-Roh really nailed it for me. The last few minutes of the movie was something I would remember for a long time, even though I've seen it just once.

Cowboy Bebop, S-cry-ed, Wolf's Rain, Fma, and Paranoia Agent.

Took you long enough to get to the ending of Trigun CA Nadesico had an interesting if not good ending.

Now And Then, Here And There.
Escaflowne.
Love Hina (the manga more so)

If I'm able to think of more I'll post them.

Giant Robo (nearly had me in tears, that did), Cowboy Bebop, RahXephon, Heat Guy J.

Cowboy Bebop

Giant Robo (the best part of the whole series)

Metropolis (gotta love the big bang endings)

Akira (gotta love the big bang endings)

Memories (the first two shorts)

I liked Trigun's ending. Of course, if you count Endless Waltz as Gundam Wing's ending, then I liked it too.
