Top 10 Anime with the Worst Endings

I agree, not only is it disturbing, but it is also a tragic ending to such a great tale for the Band of the Hawk, losing their leader and soon their lives just to regain the strength of their leader. It is truly the worst spoiling ending in anime history.

It's amazing how fast we can go from mourning over a character's suffering to loathing them. Although the manga continues past this point, the anime ends at this scene.

No, I don't want that! Casca finding another man?! I want her to think about me and no one else for the rest of my life! Even after I die, I want to be at the front of her mind for a while! Ten years, at least!

Soul Eater is one of my favorite anime series. Good plot, good characters, good character development, and good animation. It was a pretty good series. But the ending just seemed kind of implausible, like when Maka turned into a weapon and defeated the Kishin with "bravery." By "bravery," I mean a punch in the face. Yeah, because none of the other characters were brave when they went headfirst into battle!

I don't know, it just made Maka kind of appear to be Mary Sue-ish by the end. I loved the series, I loved the characters, I loved the villains, I loved everything about it except the ending.

1. L and Light were an incredible pair, being polar opposites in every manner except intelligence. Near and Light, on the other hand, had little contrast.

2. Light's death both went against his character as dignified and collected and was due to a simple and, once again, uncharacteristic miscalculation that hardly built on the plot in past episodes. If they were going to kill Light, it could have been done in a much more creative manner. This seemed like the producer announced two weeks beforehand that the show had to end, and the writers were just trying to meet a deadline.

While I was admittedly rooting for Light, if only to extend the series, I would have accepted if they had killed him off while staying true to the show.

Until Season 2 comes out, this is going to be on this list.

Thank God Season 2 came out and saved this anime.

A cliffhanger after several episodes of intense combat, right when you needed that cathartic ending.

Such a great anime series with great female warriors, but the ending...? WHY? This needs to be season 2.

The plot was great, the characters were great, but the ending wasn't good at all.

Firstly, 700 chapters for what?! Honestly, what happened to immature, irresponsible Naruto? He barely spent a quarter of the series being a child!

Second, how did Naruto become Hokage? How did Sasuke actually get freed after what he did? Sasuke should have had his butt thrown in jail for the rest of his life. He's just an emo idiot who isn't represented as anything but that.

Third, the sequel. It was horrible. The children of all the characters were the exact same as the originals. Why make them have rubbish versions of the originals with the exact same, if not worse, personality traits as the original characters?

I didn't like the ending at all. If you liked it, go ahead and do whatever, but hey, this is my opinion.

"Newsflash, I'm really a demon." Like, what Stocking?! Just ruined it all with insane confusion. Cliffhanger! Cliffhanger!

It was bloody and disturbing, and it had the worst logic. Vengeful murder and beheading made me vomit. The anime was bad, and the ending made it worse (better for a few people as the biggest anime jerk got killed).

This anime ending was really crappy. I really did like it when the MC died, though, as he deserved it, but I was really sad about how it all ended. After all those long, complex relationship problems, they fixed it all by killing two people and leaving the used, victimized girl to suffer from emotional and mental trauma. WHAT THE HECK!

The ending felt rushed. It could have been so much better, but all the ending did was make the revolution feel pointless. At least the citizens are happy, right?

This was the anime Game of Thrones Simulator 2014. They kill all the major characters off except Akame.

I didn't like how they killed everyone but Akame. The biggest spoiler was in the name!

Strain: Strategic Armored Infantry is one of those shows that was going really well, but the ending is horrible and fails to tie up loose ends. The series is about Sara Werec as she tries to find out why her once kindhearted brother suddenly becomes a cold-blooded killer. Throughout the anime, Sara develops relationships with other characters, experiences struggles, tries to survive with her new friends, and discovers the truth behind her brother's actions.

This anime's way of storytelling is like one of those where most of the episodes set up mysteries that will be answered in the last few episodes. Unfortunately, the last few episodes of this anime were truly unsatisfying.

During the series, Sara also forms a relationship with a mysterious entity named Emily, who is revealed in Episode 10 to be the very thing that turned Ralph murderous. In fact, Emily is actually a member of an alien race that consisted of identical beings centuries ago, and scientists constantly tortured them to access their technology. This led to the surviving Emilys trying to rescue the captured ones. During the scene, Ralph realizes how wrong it is to treat the alien species unfairly, and one Emily brainwashes him.

Shocking, right? Well, sadly, that tragedy was trashed because after Sara learns the truth about everything, she suddenly becomes unlikable and misunderstanding. She somehow and literally blames Ralph for everything and treats it as if it was all his fault, even though she's aware that Ralph was being mind-controlled. Even the Emily Sara became friends with somehow antagonizes Ralph all of a sudden, even though it was her technology that controlled him. How does that make sense?

It's like the explanation for everything was all put to waste, and now the writing neglects that and goes cynical, inconsistent, and unsatisfying.

The final battle is just Sara remorselessly killing her own brother, not even viewing him as the kind person he once and... more

SAO's ending is lazy but satisfying because the worst character in the series is finally punished. It's so underexplained that the ending of SAO is actually worse than every video game ending I could possibly think of and even worse than some anime endings. They didn't explain why Kayaba helped Kirito all of a sudden or how the hell Kirito escaped death for the second time. Hell, Bloodborne's three endings are more explained than this.

Come on, it may not have been the greatest ending in anime, but it is far from the worst. Everything was resolved at the end of Season 1 of Sword Art Online. Sugou gets put into jail, Kirito reunites with Asuna, Kirito brings closure with Suguha, and Aincrad is brought back in New ALO. Pretty decent ending! I loved it! Could be better, but I loved it.

The ending of the series was strange and confusing, to say the least. I was not pleased with how it ended, and when I found out that there was a "true" ending in the sequel film, I got super pumped. To my bewilderment, somehow the movie ending was even worse than the one in the show.

It completely ruined Shinji as a character, and the whole thing seemed like a rush job. It really felt like a huge slap in the face. I'm all for somber endings, but this one just felt unwarranted and out of place.

Episodes 25 and 26 of the original anime sucked! I understand that Shinji's character development was a big part of the story, but there was way too much commitment to the details of the universe to throw it away. The many remakes are okay but still don't fully wrap things up, in my opinion.

(Spoilers! Don't read this comment if you haven't seen all the episodes.) The story was excellent, but the ending was terrible. Ahiru, after everything she did, gets nothing in the end, while two people who don't even deserve a happily ever after get one. The story ends with the words "a new story has begun." It sounds as if there's going to be a season 3, but it's already been around 10 years. Ikuko Itoh herself said that she already has a season 3 or a spin-off in mind, but what's taking her so long?

However, I really hate the idea of a spin-off. I want Ahiru as the protagonist. The majority of us love Ahiru. A spin-off would not be sufficient for the terrible ending she got. Ahiru and Fakir can't even get married! They can't even become a couple in that state. Ahiru is a duck and Fakir is a human! They deserve to be together. Either Fakir has to turn into a duck or Ahiru has to turn into a human.

Come on, don't just stop when everything was getting good. There was an awesome fight between Ganta and Genkaku, and a character he met just died, leaving Ganta in tears. Then it just switches to Ganta still being stuck in Deadman Wonderland by the end of the anime. At least the manga can take it from there.

Another one of the "What? That's it?" endings that are so prevalent in anime.

Cliffhangers. Why does it have to be cliffhangers?! WHY?!

All the important characters that made Bleach great went MIA. The fight with the mighty Yhwach went like yapping yapping yapping and done. So many plot holes and contradictions in characters. SO BAD!

The anime ending is good. The manga ending is what is terrible.

I really liked the anime, but the ending was a major disappointment.

I didn't like that cliffhanger. Enough said.

This ending made me a little sad. Spoilers: Yuno loves Yuki so much that she sacrifices herself for him so he can become a god. After that, he is with only Murmur, and he must rule time for thousands of years. In the third timeline, he doesn't remember Yuno, and she doesn't remember him.

Unless you've watched the OVA like I did, you're pretty much left with an anime ending that makes no sense.

So in the end, he's just floating around in space for 500 years with a cell phone that dies.

Many people say that they hate this ending just because Nagisa and her daughter were brought back to life. Actually, they weren't brought back to life. The last scenes were just daydreams dreamt by Tomoya, imagining what could have been if his wife and daughter survived.

After a box of tissues, I get this! If I had a time machine, the first thing I would do is change the ending.

The thing that I like about its ending is that Nagisa dies.

I just loathed the ending. From day one, all I was waiting for was for Sora and Shiro to go up against Tet again in the new world they were warped to. However, due to the slow pacing of the anime series, I never got to see it. In fact, it wasn't the main focus of the anime!

All I got for an ending was Sora and Shiro beating some fox girl at a game so they could make peace with one of the nations and what appeared to be Sora and Shiro about to go challenge Tet. They could have done so much better with the anime. But with all the Steph sex torture, incest, panty shots, and pop culture references I got, what did I expect? Sigh. Just go watch Sword Art Online instead.

Goku goes away to train some random guy he knew for ONE EPISODE, who ends up being turned into gum. He left his family, including his YOUNG GRANDDAUGHTER, for some random dude. If Goku wanted to train someone, he could've trained Bulma, Trunks, Krillin, or even Yamcha to be the future savior, but instead, he chose a character even the creators didn't care about. Worst anime ending yet.

The story was utterly cliche. The ending was hasty and childish. Very disappointed after experiencing how much people liked it and recommended it. It ain't that good.

I just wasn't satisfied with the ending. They should have gotten married!

I just felt unfulfilled at the end of this anime. It didn't feel like it was actually done. So I read the manga, and like someone said, it ties up the loose ends and made me feel like it was an ending once the manga finished it. Even after a decade, I would still sign a petition, protest, etc., for a season 2 of this anime because that would just be the best thing, done correctly, obviously.

This ending felt like a middle finger to the face. I loved Ouran Highschool Host Club, and it's a shame that it didn't have a better ending. In fact, I probably would have given this series a 10/10 if it were not for that terrible ending.
