I thought the Odd Taxi ending was stupendous. It totally makes the series, an all time standout amongst anime endings as far as I'm concerned.

And the first half of WEP was DAMN good, AotY material pretty consistently until it wasn't.

I seem to think the opposite of a lot of people in Odd Taxi - I think the slowness and the weirdness of the start made me think it was gonna become something it was never trying to be, and I was more interested in the alternative than what it actually did.

Agreed on WEP though. Gorgeous first episode in particular and a great first half, before jumping off a cliff towards the end. This conversation about it actually made me wanna go see some good magical girl shows. I've gone to rewatch the first few episodes of Utena (which is nuts and everyone should watch even if it's pretty old now) and Madoka (which is still utterly beautiful despite coming out a decade ago and even better than I remembered. It's made me wanna go finish the Monogatari series for that direction alone). Just about my only issue is Madoka ensured everything in the genre after it would pale in comparison. The only post-Madoka ones I remember being decent are Yuuki Yuuna and WEP (which have their... issues), and Revue Starlight (yes, it is a magical girl show. No, I will not elaborate.)
