This literally strikes me with
I was just trying to predict some events & the ending
And everything I said was getting shut down ONE AFTER ANOTHER
Got me going YES,NO, YES,NO to just pure confusion and silence that night
Feeling betrayed
If you watched it you probably know that feeling :’/
Great Pretender
Especially the first and the last arc.
Also not an anime but if you are into shock endings and confusion etc. the movie The Usual Suspects has The most shocking and epic endings I have seen in a movie along with The Prestige
Danganronpa 3 The End of Kibougamine Gakuen Zetsubouhen
The finale really broke me.It was really sad.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
and by extension
Neon Genesis Evangelion The End of Evangelion
Even when I think back on it nearly a year later: I'm left with so many emotions that all contradict each other equally, and it just fries my brain
Evangelion is a masterpiece
Really? I watched it and didn't think it was that good.
I assume it isn't for everyone, and that's fine. It's objectively a very flawed show, like very very flawed considering how highly it's held up, but I don't mind that it's flawed because it really pushed me to a point I've never been before in media with it's characters and its themes. It's far from perfect if you look at it from a purely critical standpoint, in fact it's pretty terrible from a critical standpoint, but it personally hits you in a very unique showing of emotional brutality, that captures me and a bunch of other people. Maybe it just missed you when it started swinging. It sucks that you didn't like it though, I thought it was pretty incredible.
Well yeah, but if it's not very good from the critical standpoint, how come it's a masterpiece then?
I thought the show was pretentious, evoking connections to religion in the most sacrilegious way possible, not even trying to explain anything that happens on the screen, just throwing shit your way and hoping you gonna follow the rabbit hole like some kind of mindless drone.
On top of that the characters were terrible, and Shinji in particular, I couldn't stand him.
The plot was weak too, it felt like a record on repeat... angel appear, they device a plan, plan goes to shit, somehow they kill the angel, nobody dies, angel appear, they device a plan...
I think it's only because EVERYONE is talking how good this show is everyone else just accept it as fact. Crowd mentality.
Mahou Shoujo MadokaMagica Hangyaku no Monogatari
took a while to digest
anilist.co/anime/934 literally all the arcs are pure shock.
You can watch anilist.co/anime/99426 too and get shocked in the final :D
But I do enjoy this
Devilman Crybaby
I have Code Geass pretty much summarized from all the videos but what is the 2nd about if you don’t mind!?
I don't think the second is awfully shocking (unless OP is referring to one particular plot detail which is more just evidence of the weirdness of josei authors than anything else), but what it is, is absolutely fantastic. It's about rakugo, traditional Japanese storytelling, and it's a sort of generational tragedy that takes place mostly within a frame narrative over an extremely extended period of time. Without wanting to give too much away, it deals with the friendship of two men as they develop as performers over a period of time, and thinks very carefully about performance and art generally. In its second season, it keeps going on some of the same themes, but widens it to think about themes of family and legacy, both of which are exquisitely handled.
It is beautiful, incredibly well directed and voice acted, and absolutely heartbreaking. Definitely watch.
The Big O 2003
A huge shame, they tease you with idea that they're going to answer mysteries of the setting, and then just create even more questions in the process. It wasn't meant to be the show's actual ending, but that's how things turned out regardless.
Edits: Oops, looks like I misinterpreted what was being asked. Uh, I felt the ending of this show made go from very enjoyable to a favorite.
Sunabouzu
if you havent read the manga the ending of this is very confusing
Soul Eater
Mine bas to be SteinsGate 0,
Well for one most of my predictions were wrong, and my brain still can’t comprehend EVERYTHING that happened
Not exactly an anime, but...
Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru Episode 8 Twilight of the Golden Witch
Honestly, it shocked me in a level no other ending was able to. The twists, the emotions, it's my favorite ending ever in the entire manga industry; and I love how it completely changes your perception of the story. Absolute genius level stuff.
i don't remember most of black butler, but the ending of this fucked baby me up
Black Butler Book of Circus
this haunts me. i am not exaggerating when i say that this fucking haunts me. i have watched the ending scene so many times. i will never be over it.
Neon Genesis Evangelion The End of Evangelion
i cry every time I watch this
Wolfs Rain OVA
chapter of yamato isn't as good as these.. for both i thought "it's okay, but not that good" then the ending hit me like a metal bat.
Phoenix Karma Chapter
The Phoenix Space
i don't like it but. that ending.. unparalleled
Devilman Crybaby
most of these but especially the second one. i have no idea why it's rated so low, it's great.
Sora Tobi Tamashii
devilman crybaby and grave of the fireflies
Devilman CryBaby being mentioned quiete a bit a see
And I actually watched Grave of the FireFlies a week ago
At the start like anyone would be I was confused
But slowly but surely I felt depression coming and there was nothing happening at all
And it slowly striked me and just thought it out how sad MY life would had been in his position
In the end I didn’t cry because of all the hard breathing and holding back I did
But did it fkn hurt. Yes.
after grave of the fireflies ended i just sat there and watched the credits as my mind processed what I had just watched
Same! I skipped a lil of the credits to see if there was an after scene but nothing
I started my search on google stumbled upon the
“Based on True Story” and oh boy the DEEP breath that I took and re think everything that happened on how sad it would
I knew it was since the start but completely forgot while it was playing :’)
