According to its fans at least, Dusk Maiden of Amnesia has the most beautiful and moving ending of the whole season (and of any anime for some time, according to the most enthusiastic), having caused many a tear to be shed, and to top it all it still has boobs as well…

Although it is almost impossible to find anybody unhappy with the ending, plenty have doubts as to how well the series will continue if granted a second season (as seems distinctly possible – the original is still going strong).

    the last minute of the ep pretty much the entire episode pointless. they spent like 20 minutes making it a powerful and emotional goodbye but then they were like trolololol she actually didn't disappear.

    Regardless of that rant it was a satisfactory ending but still I think it would have been better to go the Menma route

    i don't think its a rant. if you understand the anime you will know that she would come back. although it gives the impression of a dark gothic anime (because people's opinions and judgements are influenced by things they learned/saw in the past) its still a comedy ghost romance story, and making her disappear would be the most unfitting thing they could do.

    that being said, its one of the most versatile animes I've seen since 1999, which doesn't leave a bitter feeling after the end.

    Agreed.

    Btw, if she just disappeared in the end, the end obviously will look like AnoHana's ending...

    I gotta say, loved the ending personally. Though I do know where all the butthurt people are coming from. All that emotional buildup seemingly for nothing. But it wasn't for nothing. The creators wanted to instill in the audience that feeling of deep sorrow from losing a lover, followed by the insurmountable relief of finding her to be well. Personally I can't see why a sad ending is ever a good thing.

    And Yuuko had much more maturity in her than most actual women. Seriously, fuck your insecurity!

    @Canti Have you seen Fate/Zero? It's pretty depressing what some of the character go through in that series.

    Ep. 19 of Smile Precure! was pretty sad
    They had to do a class project on why their parents named them what they did and all the main characters except Yayoi were able to find out cause her dad named her and her dad is dead

    So besides no series just episodes

    It would've been much more moving if it didn't completely cop-out in the last minute.

    It was a little hard to swallow when she reappeared again after what was a very emotional ending. Not sure where they can move from here really aside from a fanservicey OVA. I mean she has regained her memories so the title is a bit invalid and pretty much all the plot threads were tied up.

    Well they could keep the "Dusk Maiden" part, just the adjectival phrase, I think that's the proper term anyway, would have to be changed.

    So something like the "Dusk Maiden of Mystery".

    They do more content from the manga lots of good side storys that could be made into full ep if needed.

    Totally agree. Teichi-kun, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I've gone...

    As if we didn't expect something as lame as that to happen, though.

    @06:27 Are you kidding me?! There was NOTHING lame about this episode. Sure, they copped out a bit on the ending, but I'm glad that Yuuko's still around.

    This is like those shows where you know what the ending is going to be, but you still weep just a little. This ending wasn't a joke like Nyaruko, but even so, I'm not a fan of wallowing in sorrow...

    To each their own...
