There are a lot of anime out there, but sadly, not all of them get the conclusion that they truly deserve. Some anime have their adaptations cut short with no proper conclusion in the hopes of coaxing people to go read the source material. Some anime are dragged on with pointless padding for way too long, with seemingly no end in sight. And some anime do get a proper ending, but it's one that feels like it came far too soon and leaves a lot of potential still on the table. Cases like these are all too common.

But still, there are those rare and special occasions where an anime avoids all of these and delivers a fantastic ending, one that comes at the right time without dragging too long or leaving too much on the table. For the start of this topic, name an anime that you've watched and enjoyed that you feel ended at the perfect spot and with a satisfying conclusion. For me, the most recent example of this that I've watched is The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady.

In a short 12 episodes, this series told an amazing story between the two leads and ended at the highest point of the story and their relationship. While there is more source material beyond this point, the way the anime handled the ending so well makes me genuinely hope that there's never a second season, because it wouldn't be nearly as good and it would retroactively make the first season feel less special.

What about you? What's an anime that you've seen that you felt had a perfect ending?

Ohhh, I figured you did the dub Cal, arent you typically a dub or die person?

Not at all. I'm a fan and defender of English dubs, but I still watch plenty of subbed anime just fine. It depends on the show and the situation.

Is there actually no legitimate way to stream Persona 4: The Animation these days? Like really crunchyroll, ya got P5A, a prologue episode to P5, a fucking P5 stage play, and fucking Persona 4 Golden, but not one of the actually good Persona anime?

LiveChart says that Amazon Prime has it, but when I click the link, it says "This video is currently unavailable to watch in your location" on the Amazon page for it. If that's the case, I guess there currently isn't any legal streaming option for it, so you'll have to use "other means" to find it.

I guess the first that comes to mind for me is Revue Starlight. Which maybe sounds like a weird answer since it got a sequel movie... but tbh I wasn't really that thrilled by the movie and thought the TV series was nice and conclusive as-is

K-ON's ending was perfect

That's funny that you mention Revue Starlight. I also liked the TV anime's ending and thought the sequel movie was unnecessary, but then the movie turned out to be absolutely amazing and provided (what I thought was) an even better ending than the TV series. We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one.

Marmalade Boy is the first anime I ever watched all the way through. At the time I thought the ending was perfect but I'd have to rewatch it again.

Perfect endings?!

A Place Further Than The Universe. It was both heartwarming and heartwrenching? Like... it was just perfect. I watch the finale stuff like, once a month typically.

I'm also a big fan of the finale for Cowboy Bebop. Bang.

Happy 200th.

Some of the shows that come to mind for having a great final episode are

Akebi's Sailor Uniform
91 Days
Bocchi the Rock
Cyberpunk
Durarara
FLCL
To Your Eternity
Hajime no Ippo
Original Higurashi
K Project
Made in Abyss season 1
Ranking of Kings
Shiki
Soranowoto

Just kinda scrolled through my completed anime, there's bound to be many more I'm not thinking of

If that becomes a full series, I'm definitely watching it. That PV looked really good.

Ohhhh, Assassination Classroom had the perfect ending too.

I was thinking of checking out Wind Breaker, did something happen to episode 1's english dub on Crunchyroll? I know it for sure has an english dub available, but the option isn't showing for ep 1.

wtf finally HAPPENING?!

How does a show make me depressed, hyped, and laugh my ass off each episode? Watch Girls Band Cry.

Raise of hands, who can drive a stick?

Well Jellyfish went in an, uh, interesting direction today. But its back to being the show I love plus a Kano heavy episode.

How does Train to the End of the World continue to get even more batshit insane every single week?

Did someone say witch queen?

Well I've now finished D-Frag. I have too many screenshot to possibly post them all so I will just post this

It's too bad it didn't get any more episodes. I thought the manga was hilarious.

D-Frag was a pretty fun show, I gave it a 9/10.

Also, did you watch it subbed or dubbed? D-Frag has an amazing English dub IMO.

Subbed for D-Frag

I was today years old when I realised the Spice and Wolf OP is dubbed

If only our IRL religions could be as kind and tolerant as the Axis Church. The world would be a much nicer place.

Sorry, couldn't resist. XD

Laid-Back Camp provided a perfect reaction image to use for the remaining episodes of Train to the End of the World:

Finally watched the Konosuba movie so I guess its time to get started on Season 3. This would go great with a drink or two, but I'm sick af right now.

I should probably start GBC sometime

https://i.imgur.com/YTOYzvb.jpeg

indeed. one of the biggest surprises this season.

Feel better soon

I finished watching frieren yesterday. The 1st half made me cry a few times tbh. My dam has been close to breaking for the past few weeks though so i just needed a little push. I felt good afterward. Idk if I would have cried if I were in a less gloomy state.

Now the 2nd half got a bit too action-packed for my liking tbh. I'm not a fan of conflicts/fights that last more than an episode. Im also not a fan of the character actions being overly explained. So I felt a bit frustrated watching it at times. This didnt ruin my experience all that much overall tho. I can forgive it

https://i.imgur.com/5Ivd1qw.jpeg

God, Girls Band Cry always delivers but today was PEAK.

And the GBC memes in general are killing me

Hey, Spidey, did you just start watching D-frag in the last topic a few weeks ago? I remember watching that in like 2015, was one of my first seasonal anime.

Yeah finished D Frag a few days ago. It's been on my list for some time.

haha I remember thinking it was a bit haremish and it turned you off from it. I was so naive back then.

Finally watched the Black Clover movie. Good ole Shonen blasting stuff fun, even if it had nothing to do with the actual story.

Asta going to space means he can now shout to other planets to let them know that he's going to be the wizard king.
