doesn't have a happy ending

ProboBum 08/24/21 8:16:40 AM #1:	You usually see a lot of anime series out there that usually end happily for at least a couple of the main cast, but what you don't see a lot of is anime that doesn't end happily for anyone. I just recently watched King's Game: The Animation (being the reason I'm making this topic honestly) and it ends on a massive downer. Spoilers: the entire class that participates in the game slowly dies off over the course of the 12 episode run. The last 3 remaining students discover that to end the game and stop it from spreading, is to die. 2 of the 3 remaining (one of the 2 being the main character) dies from a chainsaw wound while the final student ends her own life by drowning. Cut to credits, you think it's finally over but NOPE. Post credit scene shows a new character getting a message from the "King" starting a new game. End with a "To be continued." Still hasn't happened yet and probably never will at this point as this is a 2017 anime. So, anyone else have any anime that ends on a downer? --- Wild ARMs is still the best JRPG series in my opinion and we desperately need a new game in the series! <cite>ProboBum posted [p:957387467] in Name an an...
