Bittersweet. An ending doesn't feel as satisfying without some sort of sacrifice to reach it.

Axed, because that's the one I'm nost familiar with.

Good endings are always preferable on an individual basis, but meaningless if not accompanied by non-good endings.
You must have a proper mixture of them all, or it's pointless.

Bad end.

>Not-rushed ending that makes sense
Pretty rare.

Was Gurren Lagann bittersweet ending? Ya, fuck that.

The order you put is my list.

Good > bad > bittersweet > ambiguous > never

Depends.

>Romance
Good ending fuck you.
>action
Perfectly bittersweet but depending on the tone good ending aswell as bad ending
>horror
Bad ending usually is best or bittersweet. Good ending very rarely

Nothing should just not end fuck you.

Good or bittersweet.

Anime: Good/Happy Endings, Bittersweet Endings

Hentai: Bad Endings are the most fun.

Forget to write ambiguous should obly be used in horror.

>>Ambiguous Ending
everyone loses their shit with their own headcanon, most interesting to watch

Ambiguous for shitposting value

Troll ending

Fuck off, phonefag.

it's a tablet

Do any animes have the Never/No Ending? I know those endings are usually most popular in Zombie movies and the like.

It's a hopelessly upscaled disaster of a screenshot and you should feel bad for posting it.

A fitting ending

How about we sacrifice something before the ending?

Leave your behelith in your pants, you dirty scumbag.

I assume he means shit like Dragonball that literally never ends.

are we talking about porn
bad ending or never ending

>Bittersweet Ending
>Ambiguous Ending
Those.

"They had a baby and never fucked again. The end."

Ambiguous > good > bittersweet > bad > never.

That or shitty cliffhangers that never ever get resolved. If it's a cliffhanger I'll drop the show before watching a single episode.

Good ending.

Any ending is good as long as it actually makes sense. Nobody likes some forced happy ending or the protagonists getting screwed over by something retarded.

Bittersweet > Ambiguous > Good > Bad > Never

Ambiguous and Never should be criminal offenses.

I generally prefer bittersweet endings. Bad endings are okay in horror and thrillers. Good endings are a bit boring.

I really don't like never endings (Ranma). Ambiguous endings mostly make hope for season 2, but may also be up for interpretation, like "The Orphanage". These depends I guess. I really can't recall any ambiguous endings in anime, well except Evangelion.

Tell me more.

Bittersweet>Good=Ambiguous>Bad>Never

How would you classify Rebellion's ending?

Cliffhanger ending.

I like ending that properly follow what the director and writer(s) have in mind when creating and unfolding the story to lead to a satisfying end that thematically fit with the rest of the story

Pic related.

This, albeit a REALLY well-executed win-win good ending that also fulfills that requirement is the king of all endings. Notice emphasys in the really well part. If you don't this kind of things very well, it feels saccarine instead of awesome. Too many shows try (and fail) to go for this.

Ambiguous. Homura's utopia hinges on her mental state and whether or not Godoka is feeling merciful when she awakens. We have a pretty good idea of what might happen depending on those variables but watching the sequel is the only way to know for sure.

Resolved or unresolved? If there isn't a next season or movie to explain them many years after like what happened with Mega Man Legends 2 then fuck them.

I like good endings where everyone ends up happy since it lets me part ways with the series and enjoy my memories of it.

I like bittersweet endings a bit more though, they tend to be more emotionally complex and impact the reader in many ways. Not to mention these endings immerse you in the story a bit better and make you sympathize with the characters.

That's basically the Never/No Ending.

Brainfart. MML2 is vidya but you know what I mean.

Unresolved.

Except it's more frustrating, that's why it's good.

Never ending deaths

"And they had sex, a lot of sex" ending.

It depends entirely on the content of the show itself. Certain shows feel awkward with happy endings, while others feel awkward with sad endings. The quality of an ending has to do less with exactly what happens in it. It has more to do with how it's executed and what leads into it.

For example, you can look at EoE and the TV series as separate endings. Ignoring any theories about their relations to each other, both endings have sufficient buildup to make either of them acceptable, and both of them close off the series. This also applies to many things in general with multiple endings.

We can look at HF in Fate. The normal ending is depressing, but it's a decent close to the route. The true ending is much happier, but it isn't as if the ending itself is of much higher quality than the normal ending.

Bittersweet or a bad ending.

They're the most memorable, Not that Japan does these endings at all.

Ambiguous end can be good in mystery. Like Gekkou's ending if anyone read that.

is this nigga serious?

Average hentai that OP avatarfags with/makes a thread about every day.

Bittersweet and bad endings almost always have bigger impact and are more memorable than good endings, however some of their value comes from rarity - you do not really expect this kind of ending, unless series raises a lot of red flags. So even if they are on average better, they shouldn't become a standard.

Good endings come with a risk of crappy writing striking at the very last moment, like asspull survivals, miraculous solutions, breaking established rules with power of friendship/love/plot armor.
Also they often are kinda unsatisfying, especially if series isn't plot-heavy. There's always something you wanted to see, but wasn't included in the last chapter.

Ambiguous end is great for shitposting, especially if shipping is involved, but infuriating if you weren't following series just for shits and giggles.

Never ending is in my opinion the biggest problem of manga. Anime originals have a predetermined lifespan, so the story is written to have a definite closure in a set boundary. There may be crappy sequels later if it's super popular, but S1 stays there intact.
Manga lives as long it is allowed to live, which promotes very bad writing habit of keeping things unresolved and piling up new shit. Especially romance series suffer from this, since you can't just pull a new villain out of your ass or just end the original conflict and write a completely new one as a next arc. Also there's always a problem of limited creativity and mining out everything the setting has to offer.

And there's also my two personal favorites:
- Axed ending. There's nothing better than seeing some niche series that strikes your fancy getting completely butchered in like 3 chapters.
- "I'm not so tough after all" ending, where series promises something amazing, but author backpedals at the very last moment like a little bitch.

Good endings. Fuck you.

A proper ending.

Why would anyone like those last two endings?

AI YO ending

Depends on the rest of the series

Is it possible to have all of them?

Harem ending.

Bad Ending, I love to cry.

The worst ending is MC's life goes back to normal.

NTR ending.

If you think one is automatically better than the other, and it has nothing to do with execution or the tone of the preceding series, you're an idiot.

Just like in my life senpai a bad bittersweet ambiguous never ending.

iktf

I prefer when the antagonist shatters/kills the mc and his "beloved friends/friendships".

mixed endings (ambiguous or bittersweet) clearly superior

Go read the source ending.

Bittersweet endings are the best ones to get an Aesop across. You can communicate something beautiful but also tragic at the same time. Usually bad endings just feel malicious.

OP asks for preference, not which is better. Learn to read, idiot.

Good Ending

Not ntr.

Never Ending

Good endings are the most fun endings

Endings that make me cry

Ran Sem had a GREAT Ending.

Ambiguous, big fan of those types of endings.
Second best is Bittersweet.

Bittersweet usually. If it's a total downer ending, then it feels like it was a waste. If it's a good ending, you feel unsatisfied that there was no conflict.

Ambiguous endings can be nice too, but there still needs to be a certain amount of closure. Enough that you're satisfied, and not so much that it spells out what happens next.

>Good Ending
Does it fit the overall mood of the story? If so, then yeah absolutely, go for it. Fuck good ending at all costs though
>Bad Ending
Depends. If it's "and they everyone died. the end" type, then no. It's a cheap shocker used if you don't know how to finalize the development of your characters. Sadly I think most of the bad endings fit that category. I like when the mc simply fails due to his own actions and there's no deus ex machina to save him, good hard realism
>Bittersweet Ending
Most preferred one. A little bit of darkness, a little bit of light, just like life
>Ambiguous Ending
Writers who can pull this one off properly probably don't do stories for chinese cartoons.
>Never Ending
Fuck you

This is best ending

depends on the genre

for cute sol i'd like never ending

ex. I'd like many seasons of yys, gochiusa etc.

Personally I don't mind bad endings but it takes a lot more writing skill to pull that off than a good ending.
Which is why a lot of bad endings are just shit out of nowhere.

>there was no conflict

Isn't that the point. To resolve all the conflicts leading up to the end?

>MUH BITTERSWEET ENDINGS SO DEEP
You are literally the cancer killing anime.

Bittersweet endings are more cliche than happy endings, when it comes to anime.

I'm surprised so many people like them here on Sup Forums.

Trust me, it's not worth it.

What type of ending did Reborn have?

Depends on the story and characters

Cowboy Bebop made the bittersweet ending work
Gurren Lagann did not

Ambiguous Endings shouldn't be a thing in any genre except for horror
Never ending/cliff-hanger ending, universe reset or memory wipe are the worst.
As for the best, it really depends on how it's written.
