If a single episode can make or break an anime, it is more often than not the ending which does so – thus anime fans have helpfully sought to rank what are in their opinions some of the least convincing finales in anime history.
Whilst the ranking itself contains no spoilers, it seems highly probable the comments might.
1. Neon Genesis Evangelion
2. Angel Beats!
3. Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko
4. Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouche
5. Shakugan no Shana II
6. Zero no Tsukaima
7. Black Butler II
8. Dead Man Wonderswan
9. Highschool of the Dead
10. Spiral

Where are Darker than Black and Darker than Black Ryuusei no Gemini?
Where is Soul Eater?
That was the dumbest way to beat an final evil boss thing ever.
I hope Bones is just being smart and saving up the other 60+ episodes when there's enough manga material.
This list is a bit strange to me other than Evangelion, because they didn't actually 'end' the story at all. Only Evangelion sounds to me like an anime that was way too ambitious to know how to properly end it. Everything else just went on a weird hiatus. Even Darker than Black didn't feel final for some reason.
The problem with the final two episodes of Evangelion was that Gainax ran out of MONEY! If you all vaguely recall the teaser at the end of 23, you get to see Ritsuko face forward in water and Misato sliding down a wall with BLOOD smearing a trail behind her.
+
I think they erased it when all those "redits" occurred and you'll only be able to see them in the Original ADV DvDs~~~
as soon as i saw that i lost all respect for soul eater
Can Zero no Tsukaima and Shakugan no Shana be on here since its been long anounced that both are getting a final season to wrap things up?
Highschool of the dead I can't call that an ending it's more like this is all we're animating now go read the manga.
HotD pretty much ran out of source material to animate, and rather than do some filler episodes which might conflict with the ongoing plotline, they pretty much decided to have it halt at the Mall.
Which would be the next story-arc if you want to call it that, considering it has some pretty decent character impact on the group.
Main prob is, the mangaka behind it, is pretty slow with his work, so it's going to be a while, before there's enough for a second season, essentially.
The list LOST IT.
Well, the odd NGE sequence aside, the ending of Darker Than Black was sensible and satisfying.
And I think the beginning of Ryuusei no Gemini was probably a bigger point of contention, what with managing to throw absolutely all the character and thematic development of the first season out the window, then introducing a boring Mary Sue character to boot.
I would have had "Big O" Up there as well, with all of the other, "Wait, what just happend?.... I'm going to have to watch it again are't I?" endings.
Adult Swim is to blame for that. They had it all planned for a third season but AS pulled the plug on it all.
So I wouldn't entirely blame Big O itself for the confusing ending. It was just setting up all the major elements.
I hadn't thought about it, but you're right. The ending of Big O was pretty bad. All that build up just to find out that nothing is real.
"Dead Man Wonderswan"
lol?
I don't think I need to read the rest of the comments to know that a lot of people are pointing this out.
I laughed too, but maybe is an typing error.
But yes... all these anime has rare endings :S
I think that's the main point of a "WTF" kinda ending this list is trying to tell us without really "telling" us.
The fact we are still talking about them to this day is proof enough that their endings did what they set out to accomplish, they're still on our minds and occasional topics of conversation :D
probably typing error.
Why not include Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann I mean after he(Simon) become a hero, a president , a prisoner and a hero again who save the universe after that he becomes a......Beggar in the End??? What a Bullshit!!!
Tenga Toppa's ending was so moving I shed manly tears for several days. To see old Simon reflect on a life of pure epicness while gazing at a world that no longer needed him and could never, ever understand how he and his companions struggled to create this future. To think of the loss, putting eveything on the line over and over and over again and then finally, finally being able to pass the torch to a new generation and fade into myth like his friends..
can't type....eyes...filling with tears again...
That, and it was his wish to open a path for others to go through.
This list makes me wonder about code geass though. Was a darn good ending.
Code Geass' ending was great. Though in my opinion lelouch should not have died.
i still think he didnt die, since he took C.C.'s geass right before he died. fooling everyone of his death and preserving his promise with C.C. at the same time.
But the ending really did make me sad =(
"Lords of the rings" isn't better : human becomes king, while elf and dwarf are promoted gardener and mason
he didnt become a beggar, he became a wanderer planting flowers for nia's wish....
Ending like that reduce this anime from great to just average. They should watch and learn from dragon ball. Don't kill character for convenient.
It works wonders, right?
Those swans are dangerous than their look.
O.O
Deadman Wonderswan???
lolwut?? you mean Wonderland right??
*jogs in place*
That emo shit should be on the first place in this list.
Sign: "Please do not feed or abuse the Wonderswans"
>Deadman Wonderswan
hahaha, oh wow
>No K-On at a Top List
WTF!!!???
K-On doesn't even have a storyline...
A top list without K-on obviously isn't a real list.
Anime > real life
But anime isn't real
Your fake list there fore is better then the REAL lists
the plot for k-on is that they are trying to get us to buy shit by being moe then we eventually want to corrupt them (read Mugi+creampie).
IT DOES HAVE A STORY O.O
in doujin ones i think o.O
or maybe the real plot begins when they got kidnapped and sold at human trafficking at london.
to answer your question:
Autofellatio is the act of oral stimulation of one's own penis as a form of masturbation. It is physically possible for men who have sufficient flexibility, penis size or a combination of the two to perform autofellatio. Autofellatio is a niche in pornography.
Physical aspects-
Few men possess sufficient flexibility and penis length to safely perform the necessary frontbend. However, increased flexibility achieved via gravity-assisted positions, and physical training such as gymnastics, contortion, or yoga may make it possible for some. American biologists Craig Bartle and Alfred Charles Kinsey reported that fewer than 1% of males can successfully orally contact their own penis and that only 2 or 3 men in a thousand could perform a full autofellatio. Previously, autofellatio was considered by behavioristic science a problem rather than as a variety in sexual practice.
Dead Man Wonderswan...lol as if we needed more proof that these top ten lists are bullshit.
The Japanese list lists it as Wonderland correctly, so your line of reasoning is retarded. Not that it really matters because these are just polls less than a thousand people voted upon.
Panty and Stocking isn't on the list?
What part of Panty & Stocking was believable in the first place? :p
#1 shikabane hime
Actually, Shikabane Hime had one of the best anime endings out there. Too bad most of the rest sucked.
wha? did you even watch the ending? the last two episode was like "what the crap was that?"...
No...... one of my favs - Makina! Ok it can be #11 on the list thats as far as I can go.
Where is 11eyes?
Fucking this, the anime was good until the last few episodes, then it became complete shit.
That would be when they deviated from the story from the original game...
Where is Claymore?
Have you even read the manga -_-
They're talking about anime not manga
I thought Angel Beats and Code Geass both had a good ending....and the second season of Black Butler's ending wasn't that bad at all.
Why would there be a season 2? The story is done.
Agree. They should've left things like they were.
Code Geass's ending was retarded. Actually most of R2 was, but the ending was just stupider than the rest of it.
What!? Code Geass was amazing. Both the first AND second season! No, ESPECIALLY the second season!
T_T Retarded? I was shedding manly tears~ heck it can't be better~ or else it will be just like other cliche series ending
