Why are they so bad at writing satisfying endings?

Let's be honest, what WOULD be a satisfying ending?

Because I thought Naruto's ending was perfect.

>user was asking for satisfying endings outside of anime
>anons gave their answers
Are you retarded or is your mother a Teletubby?

youre so fucking retarded, learn context or stop fucking posting

>It's really that simple
Simple minds usually come to simple conclusions.

MCU

Cope.

In long running manga series, it's either:
>too many characters introduced. Trying to give spotlight to all of them makes the final arc dull
>manga popularity died after a long run, they were forced to end the manga resulting in half baked ending

Dragon Ball Z
Fire Punch
The Nichijou anime

You're kidding right?

Literally everything Tomino's worked on. Even if he stumbles through the middle the endings crescendo into a big, beautiful tidal wave that comes crashing down and at the end everyone is awed

Their literary tradition is intentionally bad. They end everything poorly ON PURPOSE! They literally had to learn basic story structure from Peanuts and now treat it like the fucking bible because the simple concept of a 4 panel comic is like divine revelation to them.

>being a contrarian is so kewl

Long stories are hard to write for. Even when you do have an ending in mind, sometimes your plans don't always end up happening to the letter, so certain aspects either feel out of character or have to be rewritten entirely. TV tends to suffer from this a lot in general, look at the outcry of How I Met Your Mother or The Sopranos or Game of Thrones.

Mangas are just anime originals that took too long to end.

Keyman, Monster, FMA manga

Sailor Moon

Seethe.

The expected simple response.

Easy

>The Sopranos
that ending was great

Saying cope wont get you anywhere

was thinking of him too. Fucker knows how to end his works

Everyone agrees spirit bending damn near ruined the ending of Avatar by giving Aang's entire character arc over like 3 books 0 resolution other than to hand him what he wanted on a platter. It's like the ultimate bad shounen ending

More cope.

It's not satisfying for you. It's satisfying for me because I get to laugh at anons who didn't like the ending.

Katanagatari
Togamefags need no apply

I’m not even the guy you’re replying to by the way. I’m just getting a rise out of all these assblasted responses.

>Everyone agrees
Ah, yes, the classic fallacy of generalizing the 3 posts you saw online, keep thinking that way, maybe someday more than 3 people will agree with you

hxh

Shigatsu had a great ending.

Shirobako.

monster did have a satisfying ending.

You know there's a board dedicated to doing this shit right?
and stay there.

>Why are they so bad at writing?*

It would have been perfect if it wasn't for that "Where's mother" bullshit at the end

They've never seen one in real life. Just look at their history, it's all grand buildups followed by spectacular failures.

because gaijins are low IQ

As long as tomboys lose, there'll never be a satisfying ending.

Futurama

That's a really impressive accomplishment when you consider both 0079 and Ideon's endings were botched from the original plan.

Why do east asian have higher average IQ than whites?

The first series of Akibaranger, both the actual ending AND the post-finale recap episode. Separately.

It's common knowledge that gooks cheat on the test. That's why their countries suck despite the high number.

>most populous countries in the world aren't the average
why do people even try this kind of bullshit

>muh cheat

very white post

Move back to gookland if it's so perfect and run by the high IQ, Chang.

0079
Ashita no Joe
Rose of Versailles
Madoka

Not him but I genuinely have a hard time believing having such a high IQ on average when you see the bullshit they're up to on a daily basis.

Seems legit.

>Farscape
>show ended in everyone left die
>but no
bullshit

a duck that loves him and he loves back. Better than my life

probably because tons of them died in ww2 and because they're all grouped around the mean

most manga are serialized, which means they're designed to run for as long as possible. and when a manga does run out of steam the mangaka is only given ~4 chapters to wrap things up. having a fixed ending in mind is a creative constraint.
the problem isn't unique to Japan or manga. any series that runs until people or production loses interest has the same problem. eg Western shows like Lost, Dexter, etc.

Please don't turn "simple" into the next buzzword. Thanks.

End of Evangelion

Please don't bring religion into my chinese cartoons kthx

Kyoto Animation

Go watch K-On again user.

Look literally no further than End of Evangelion, and forget the last two episodes happen.

The Tale of Genji set the standard for Japanese literature.
Good at characters; Bad at plot.

Oh yeah retard says something important.

They don't follow a western writing forumla when it comes to plot development. Kishoutenketsu is all about the twist (very, very roughly equivalent to the "climax" segments within Freytag's five-part structure). Basically, a practiced or culturally attuned Nip writer likes to build a story's foundation with a generic setting, lead it and its characters into a development which appears unassuming within the context of what had already been established, and then the writer will turn things on their ear with the focus deliberately placed on that sudden transition from normalcy to "new reality" without necessarily being too concerned with the "ending." The whole Kishoutenketsu writing formula is more about cycles and surprises rather than finite endings. This is mostly why you get "and then things kept going" sort of endings rather than hard stops with "strong conclusions." It's just not how Nips have traditionally written their creative works.

Economics. Publishers will try to milk their IP for as long as possible, dragging the dead horse for years before it is abruptly canceled.

Kekkaishi

Because anime is treated as a business. Same as TV series in the West. It will go on for as long as it makes money and either shit will remain unexplained or will be too convoluted.

Why gaijins are baka desu?

Gaijins who are not Baka don’t know Yea Forums.

Seriously, you should learn typical plot which Japanese like. It doesn’t matter whether you like or not, but it’s definitely different from Western one.

I recommend Genji tales and Kawabata’s works. Ozu and Kurosawa films are also good.

Japanese endings are like Film Noir. Film Noir started out as a rejection of traditional pulp tropes. At one point it was new and subversive. Of course you know what happened, Film Noir just created a whole bunch of tired and old cliches of its own over the years. The cliches were different than what came before but they were undoubtedly cliche.
Japanese endings are like that. In an effort to not be cliche happy endings or even cliche traditional tragedies they have instead become, and have been for many decades, cliches of their own.

Every time I see a Jap romance end with them breaking up only to run back into each other in the last shot I drink an entire bottle of whisky.

Oh yeah I’m coming

Baka gaijins everywhere.

FMAB. Anyone who says otherwise is contrarian/edgy.

I’m surprised user knows Film Noir.
Very well.
Your opinion is interesting.

It’s about the journey not the end.

The south and blacks exists.

You know it’s typical EROGE plot.
Hentai was generated from Genji.

is code geass ending satisfying for u? and grisaia no rakuen?

You say it like that's not a problem with writers in general.

Satisfying endings are hard work with little payoff. It's easier to write a lazy generic story with a "clever" twist as a hook that gets abandoned a few chapters or episodes in, then drag the story indefinitely to keep selling the same shit. The problem is people keep buying this shit so they don't have to change.

>China
>North Korea
Hold up yo. Something sneaky going on there.

They make children study hard in order to produce the ideal communists for their country. Therefore getting high score in IQ test, but the children has no political literacy and ability to judge.

For recent examples, I really liked SSSS.Gridman's ending.
