Love it because there's one big story that's being told and they can actually focus on that and really flesh it out.

Hate it because I'm always sad when there's no more. =(

I felt this way.

Then last week they announced Eureka Seven 2.

Now I'm going to assume that, somewhere out there, god is going to give me a sequel to every anime I've ever loved.

Agreed, Tylor has a damn fine finale. Then they had the OVA series set after which I watched a few episodes of but didn't love. Just no need to mess with that perfect ending to the TV show.

My fav anime finale, hmmm well obvious choices but Cowboy Bebop and Gurren Lagann are up there. Maison Ikkoku, Macross, etc etc.

The reason I love anime is BECAUSE it wraps up in a reasonable fashion, usually before it can be ruined. Too often a good TV show will overstay its welcome and turn to utter crap and you're left feeling ambivalent about something you once loved, See: Friends, Scrubs, That 70's Show, Buffy even HIMYM at this point.

Anime has the good sense to have an endpoint and thats what makes it great.

That's awful that story was over. I hope its at least an all new cast in a similar setting because everything wrapped up so nicely that it'd be a real shame to unravel any of it for more story.

Also top tier ending points go to season one of Nodame Cantabile and seasons 1 AND 2 of Honey and Clover, both just absolutely cerebral perfect endings.

Other great endings include: Crest of the Stars, ef a tale of memories, Bakemonogatari, and even though they are cheesy, most Gundam endings are good as is Kamichu's.

Also I love Buffy's final season and finale a whole lot (my fav show pretty much).

Agreed there are a lot more stand alone 1 season anime shows than other TV shows, but then again we do have plenty of anime with no ending, especially when based on a manga.

But anime always wins, its anime.

It's set in the future. Stars who is supposedly their son (or later descendant).

If it was just direct continuation I would also be upset, thankfully it's not.

Buffy season 7 is nice in its own way, but you have to survive season 6 (which aside from the musical interlude was just downright painful) and still never gets back to how good season 5 was.

Eh, the quality was lower for Seasons 6-7, but it was definitely still watchable. The last season actually had a nice upturn in quality.

I know the School Rumble one stings because of how it looked like it might actually get a serious end. But lets get real, it was School Rumble. If you weren't expecting everything to reset to the status quo, then you forgot what you were reading.

School Rumble had plenty of serious bits and they wrapped Tenma's story up whilst COMPLETELY glossing over Harima's (you know, the other main protagonist) story as well as completely ignoring all the other loose ends between other characters.

At least School Rumble Z (ignoring the stupid side story stuff) gave us SOME closure on some of the characters, although it was a pretty lazy way to do it.

I wish they'd do a Trigun anime reboot like Brotherhood, covering all of Trigun Maximum. Especially since there's another 14 volumes of content after what the anime loosely covered.

They'll probably put it back on eventually. Trigun went off the list like 3 times while I was watching it.

How ironic that I've actually started watching this show during the summer... am now on ep. 19.

As for hating an anime because it's over, at least it's not animes like Rave Master that the anime just stops being made and they make no clear effort of making it look like it came to a close...
