I think the Lost finale is fine if you don't go into it expecting hardline answers. It was a resolution for the characters and not the mythos.

I was ok with the ending of Lost. It answered the important questions, and it gave a sense of resolution. Although, I am glad that I knew ahead of time about that final shot of the plane wreckage shown during the end credits. That shot wasn't supposed to be there - it was inserted by the network for "nostalgia".

Ambiguous endings tend to piss off American viewers.

I know when I first started watching anime a lot of it pissed me off. :x

I never watched the show. Was just the impression I was getting.

I'll ammend it:

"American audiences traditionally don't like endings that aren't clearly happy, neatly packaged endings."

Movies are one thing, because they're short, one-shot deals.

But when you invest in a television series for years on end and then the ending isn't everything you wanted, people get pissy.

Hence the Bioware/ME3 thing. I personally think they should have held strong and not changed a thing.

Then in that case, that has little to do with American audiences. That's pretty universal, at least with the western world anyhow.

Saddest (did not really expect it ending) ever for me... end of Witchblade.

I mean, I had an idea of how it was going to end, but was still hoping for a turn-around, everything will be okay kind of twist.

Assuming you're speaking specifically of the anime.

And yeah. Did not like. =(

the fear still continues on (like December 8th for example).
Yes, the date of my birth is most certainly one to be feared.

I didn't actually learn about that until.. I dunno an hour ago? Bout a week or so ago me and a few friends were discussing XI. Usual nostalgia kick, except I was drinking. XD

I have no idea what the hell I'm even going to do when I get on. Probably stand around and look dapper I guess. Tarutaru, you know.

Edit:

I sorta missed this place.. .-.
Well we missed you too!

Oops! Sorry. Just glad to hear you two are still together.

That's great! Congrats to her, and to both of you!
