I'm fairly sure that's the only anime Wave has ever watched, so his answer isn't wrong from his perspective at least.

It's also the worst ending ever.

St. Elsewhere says hi. also spiderman unlimited (although that ended cause it never got a second season and it was a cliffhanger so not sure it counts)

or if we're going to more than movies and shows I'll go with the little orphan annie strip which after 50 years ended with Annie being kidnapped

I say something similar to this to people who say network wasn't good. (to be fair I didn;t exactly get the movie but I thought William Holden was amazing)

Wouldn't it be the best ending for Wave since it well signals the end of him watching? :D

Someone mentioned Noein so being a fat lazy muricunt I wikipedia'd it and got this plot summary:

WARNING PLOT SPOILERS
+ Show Spoiler +

Fifteen years in the future, a violent pan-dimensional war is taking place between the two dominant "time-spaces" of the universe: La'cryma (a possible future of our own world) and Shangri-La (another possible dimension fifteen years after ours intent on the destruction of all space and time). The key to stopping Shangri'la's invasion and saving reality is a mysterious object known as the "Dragon Torc" (竜のトルク Ryū no Toruku?). La'cryma's elite military force, known as the "Dragon Cavalry", is sent through space and time to find it. In one possible present, twelve-year old Haruka and her friend Yū are contemplating running away from home when they meet a member of the Dragon Cavalry named Karasu, who is a possible Yū from the future. La'cryma believes that Haruka is the Dragon Torque, but Karasu vows to protect her rather than sacrifice her for his home dimension. Other than the Dragon Cavalry, Haruka is targeted by the mysterious Noein, the entity behind Shangri'la who is intent on bringing her into his timespace to end all universes.

WARNING PLOT SPOILERS

After reading the freaking premise of the show I started getting confused. Who the hell watches this?

Noein is awesome. Why would you judge it based on some super condensed summary. That's silly.

It actually was a bit better then based on that description. to be fair I was like 14 and it was on the sci-fi channel. I still never understood it though.

also reading the description reminded me of this

Well I'm not an anime fan so there's that. It's just sci-fi that's about time so it could get confusing, and apparently its ending is too complex for a majority of people.

It's not really that confusing since not all that information is thrown at you quickly. It builds up over the course of the show as you put the pieces together. The end is a bit "anime" but hardly so "complex". Overall it's a pretty fun sci-fi anime with a rather interesting visual style. Condemning it as "who the hell watches this?" based on a a paragraph attempting to summarize 24 episodes of story while ignoring all other aspects of the visual medium just strikes me as odd.

If you don't like anime and don't want to watch it then so be it but don't just bash on it and people that watch it just because you can read a wiki entry.

Who the hell watches this is my visceral reaction to the plot summary with no knowledge of the writing, artistic styling, or anything. I'm not dissecting the show piece by piece and "condemning" (lol) it. I looked at a plot summary in like 100 words and saw that it was obviously a deep show based on some pretty weird concepts. I also was genuinely wondering who'd like that kind of show, I guess you signed up for me.

And if what I said is bashing then there are some people who get offended way too easily. Seriously.

Why would you think it's deep? Depth implies some kind of philosophical narrative/commentary. Noein is just a sci-fi show in the sense that it involves time travel and alternate dimension theories. It doesn't really provide any philosophical commentary or narrative. Neither of those concepts are particularly weird for the sci-fi genre either. I guess something that has absolutely no knowledge of sci-fi may find those concepts weird or confusing but it's pretty straight forward otherwise.

I'm merely tired of a culture that dismisses anything that appears slightly different without ever actually exploring it. You perfectly demonstrated that attitude so I took it as a chance to rant.

Alternate dimension theories qualify as "deep" to me. I bet you someone well versed in dimension theories could convince you that the topic is quite deep.

That fine you can hate on my thinking, and you can think my question is bashing Noein, and I'm glad I got you to vent your frustration.
