Animes with the most satisfying endings

We often see animes being criticized for their endings, however, some animes manage to have satisfying endings and that was the topic of a discussion on Redditwith anime fans commenting on those animes that they consider to have a good ending.

When analyzing what conditions an ending must meet to be considered satisfactory, participants in the discussion highlighted several important aspects. First, many agree that a satisfying ending should provide adequate closure to the main story and character arcs. This involves resolving the story’s main conflicts in a satisfactory way and providing a sense of closure and conclusion.

Furthermore, an ending that leaves a lasting impression on viewers is usually one that is consistent with the tone and style of the anime as a whole. It is important that the result seems organic and well integrated into the narrative, avoiding unexpected twists or forced developments that could harm the cohesion of the story.

Another crucial aspect is the emotional satisfaction that the ending provides to the viewer. This can manifest itself in a number of ways, whether through touching moments that resolve relationships between characters, shocking revelations that redefine understanding of the story or simply offering a sense of hope and optimism for the protagonists’ future.

It is important to note that the perception of an ending as satisfactory is inherently subjective and can vary significantly from viewer to viewer. What may be considered a perfect ending for one person may not be so for another. Therefore, it is essential to recognize and respect different opinions and individual experiences when discussing this topic.

• I just watched it again Buddy Daddies and I completely forgot how good the ending is. It has the advantage of being an original anime and only having one season, but it was great to see how it all ended and where each one ended.
• Mob Psycho 100, Parasyte It is Assassination Classroom
• Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellionwithout a doubt
• I would mention Fruits Basket, Mob Psycho 100, Fullmetal Alchemist
• Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, had the perfect ending and managed to tie up all the loose ends without wasting anyone’s potential. AND Code Geasswhich needs no explanation
• I really agree with Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, I’ve heard many times that people think it’s a Disney happy ending, but in a way that’s the point the series makes in the end. They really deserved it. It’s also the only anime that didn’t leave me wanting more when it ended. Usually my obsessions with an anime last longer than the anime itself and then I turn to fanfic, but that was never the case with FMAB
• STEINS;GATE, I’m convinced
• JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Oceanundoubtedly
• Samurai Champlooto mention some
• The end of Odd Taxi It’s still vivid in my mind. Gurren Lagann also has an ending so beautiful it could make a grown man cry (I’m the grown man).
• I would like Odd Taxi had been a little more dramatic with the revelation of the artistic change. A small detail, but I wish the last 15 minutes were drawn more realistically or painted with a different palette for a little more contrast.
• Cowboy Bebop
• Mob Psycho 100
• Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
• Shinsekai Yori has a spectacular ending
• I’m glad to see that Shinsekai Yori was not forgotten. One of the most unforgettable experiences I had was watching this anime for the first time.
• Moriarty the Patriot. Of course the ending is very different from the manga (which is better and is still being published), but I think it’s still a lot of fun
• Mob Psycho 100 had 3 incredible seasons without a drop in quality, fully telling its story
• Legend of the Galactic Heroes is highly appreciated for its ending. It’s absurdly satisfying to remember everything that happened at the end of the series.
• K-ON! – Made me cry like a baby at some high school girls’ graduation
• Fruits Basket – The last season ended everything very well thematically
• Revolutionary Girl Utena – I can’t say much without giving away spoilers, but the last few episodes were incredible
• Haibane Renmei – Just like Utena, I just finished it and loved it. Very recommendable
• Violet Evergarden. The anime is insane and beautiful, the ending of the film is painfully beautiful
• Not yet mentioned: Astra Lost in Space
• Toradora!I really feel bad for whoever missed the post-credits scene
• Your Lie in April offers a strong, emotionally impactful ending that brings resolution to the series’ themes and character arcs, despite its melancholic ending.
• Hellsing Ultimate: a good conclusion that suggests that the characters continue doing their thing
• For a lesser known anime, Kyousougiga
• Migi to Dali. I don’t see many people mentioning this anime, but it had me on the edge of my seat every episode, wondering where the story was going and wrapping it up nicely in a 13-episode season. I definitely recommend it if you’re interested in a mystery/suspense vibe.
• Yes it is Ashita no Joe. The most iconic/influential/referenced ending of any manga/anime in the history of Japanese pop culture. There’s nothing that comes close
• The film Love Live! Sunshine!! sums it up perfectly. Let’s hope that any future Sunshine spin-offs (as Yohane did so well) will give us more opportunities to see the gang in action.
• The end of Evangelion It’s controversial in the West, but it ends very well and there is EoE for a different ending.
• Mushishi. The ending is very beautiful and poetic and closes the series well, emphasizing its main themes.
• A Place Further Than the Universe and the original series Aria the Animation
• Terror in Resonance, Pluto, Monster, Mob Psycho 100, Kaguya-sama: Love is War
• CLANNAD, G Gundam, School Babysitters, School Rumble, Trigun, Slayers, Teasing Master Takagi-san, Sweetness and Lighting
