I was just thinking about how much I loved JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's end to Battle Tendency and how that could probably qualify. Though the show establishes that Joseph is the avatar of bullshit, and Kars's immortality is twisted in a clever way to seal his defeat after he's blasted into space, so it's not completely egregious. >_>

A lot of major conflicts in The Last Airbender are solved by deus ex machina, but no one cares because it's well-written.

The ending of Buffy. I still enjoyed it though for the same reason the Avatar ending worked well: the deus ex machina was essentially the characters saying "fuck the rules, lets make our own."

Claymore (manga).

Seriously one of the most satisfying final fights I've ever come across. Maybe more Chekhov's Gun than Deus ex Machina though, depending on if one caught it I guess.
