Once again I find I agree...while Not! is funny and I find it cute, there are a few things that confuse me...is this the "main" SE universe as we know it, or is it an AU sort of thing? If it is, fine, but if not...I have some serious questions. For one, what's with the thrown in borderline sexual tension with Kim and Jackie? I never sensed that from the main SE storyline. How much beforehand does this take place, and where are they (Tsugumi, Meme, and Anya) now? Did they just all go home? But Clay and Akane are still around, even having a small part in SE main storyline, so what was that whole thing with Akane and Tsugumi? (although most of me says he was just messing/playing with her) And this itself actually kinda clashes with the yuri overtones I'm picking up from the three girls (And I'm sure Ohkubo purposefully made it that way). If I knew what universe it was, and those issues could get resolved, I would enjoy it more than I presently am.
Oh, satisfying endings? There are MANY contenders for that. Most Stephen King Books have bittersweet endings (Although I was very happy with Eye of the Dragon and Rose Madder) I didn't feel that way at the end of Harry Potter, I loved LOTR, meh on Star Wars, HATED Kuroshitsuji ending (and to this day, not sure why i stuck around to watch the second season), I watch too many psych thrillers to weigh in on movies, but The Exam was AMAZING, and I loved it so much. Mostly to anime, there's still many many to count, but I've narrowed it down to these: 1 Rave Master- I was younger when I read this one, but I felt the ending just fit into the series so well, and it was the perfect happy ending everyone was looking/waiting for. 2 FMA- while I hated the first series and was somewhat disappointed in the second, the manga was incredible...everything was resovled, no one was ignored, and it even gave a look into the characters future post manga lives (Ed and Winry with a kid and Al an May maybe together?) Also Ed wins the award for Worst Proposal EVER and Winry wins the award for Worst Acceptance of Worse Proposal EVER 3 Rurouni Kenshin- this was the one that got me into anime and will always have a special place in my heart. It showed all characters, even while going their own ways, still being friends and moving towards what they wanted to do, and of course, Kenshin and Kaoru got married, and even if he can never use the special secret move again, he's taken care of his past and now can leave the future to the next generation (Yahiko). 4 Paranoia Agent- I love Satoshi Kon (and was sooooo sad when he died- his last letter on his blog was also heartbreaking) and my love of pyshc thrillers shows with this series. I have spent with friends SEVERAL HOURS just discussing this anime and what happened in the end...even with how weird it was, it was so open to interpretation and speculating on it was just fun, and really, it could've have ended any other way, or any better way. And so Tsukiko resolved her past and accepted responsibility, which let her move forward in her life and career, although I always wondered just what was going on with the detective in the end, but whatever. Still loved it.
To continue along this train of thought: I found the SE ending HORRIBLE, so what would be the worst ending to anything you've ever seen?
