Top 10 Animes with Unfulfilling Endings

Rating: 7/10 (25 January 2019)

I have always loved this movie, I really have. During the summer after my freshman year of college in 2014 I actually went on a road trip to Tornoto with 5 other friends. We watched the movie the night before we left and drank a bunch of cheap beer like the hipsters we were. In Toronto we visited pretty much ever noteworthy location from the movie (not kidding in the slightest...). I always related to this movie because I played in bands and was part of that "hipster" scene/culture the movie pokes fun at. I loved the way it made fun of that culture and incorporated music and jokes about music. Just everything about the first hour and change is perfect - I love it and it represents the life I was living, and the production and music is just absolutely hilarious and top notch!
But once it gets the the Katayanagi Twins Boss Fight (lol), I always felt the movie was kind of falling apart. Because I always feel unfulfilled with the ending of the movie when the credits come, I can't really put my finger on why. I guess it just feels unfinished in some respect and rushed (altough the two jokes "comic book is better than the movie" and "their first album is much better than... their first album" always crack me up). The rest of the plot of the movie had a good pace, but not the last half hour or so, which is a real bummer. A lot of the movie subverts expectations, which makes it pretty brilliant especially if you can somewhat relate to it. I did watch the movie before I read the comics though but the ending was very guessable and didn't feel very "epic" like the rest of it. Maybe that was the point, and if you liked the ending I envy you because this movie is a 10/10 for me until this part, hence the 3 star deduction. Otherwise this would be rated higher.
Nonetheless, I think it's insanely clever and well produced and worth a couple watches! It is still one of my favorite movies of all time. For this movie to be awesome, I don't think it has to be perfect or a 10/10 because there is nothing else like this out there - but at the same time, there is a part of me that wishes the ending sequences were better. Not even that the ending plot changes (I can't remember how the comics end off the top of my head) but that it was more fulfilling. And I don't know if it could have been done any other way either.
But yeah, you should watch it! Even if you don't like it, I'm sure you'll catch references throughout it that the movie makes or that you have heard made about the movie!
