QFT. I don't expect much in an ending, as long as the conflict ends.

EDIT: Wow, with all the Dairanger talk, I thought this was the Sentai thread. :lol

For what it's worth, Kiva's ending was pretty bad, and I hated that it meant Kiva II has to continue fighting.

The other endings, though, are different. They're not implying that all their work will be for naught, that their descendants will have to fight, and their descendants, and so on.
There's a difference between killing the boss and having a few underlings still around, and killing the boss and telling the viewers that their work amounted to nothing.
(Also, the remaining 2 Undead in Blade are saving the world by existing. You know that)

Yes. The endining to Faiz is an enormous slap in the face. Nothing is resolved, no questions are answered, and we're just given a lot of cliffhangers that ultimately go nowhere.

Now for me, I didn't hate the Dairanger ending. And that's because to me it works as a good horror ending. The Dairangers defeat their enemies and convince Daijinryu to leave the Earth in peace. Then, fifty-some years later, another group of Gorma revive and the Dairangers' grandchildren and their terrible clothing go off to restart the war, all while the original Dairangers watch on in terror, knowing that even though the new generation things they're saving the world, all they're really doing is sending out the message that Earth is not at peace, which means Daijinryu is going to come back and destroy the world. Viewed that way, it's actually a really, really dark ending and I kinda love it.

Well I can't explain due to politics, but let's put it this way, nothing changed in that desert country when those two mad men were gone.

Besides, we don't know if the events are going to end up the same. Like I said, do I completely agree with the ending? No, but after watching the series multiple times it fits the themes of the show.

Anyway, yeah, I actually forgot this was the KR topic, so I'm going to stop here.

And I agree that the ending to 555 is a slap in the face. In fact, the last 10 episodes of the show were as well, but it still did not invalidate the series.

Watched the Perseus arc of Fourze, which ended with me ordering SHF Meteor, Meteor Storm and Meteor Star on Mandarake.

I'm not even sure I'm going to like Meteor all that much, but I found I had a lot of money in my paypal account from selling things, and Meteor and Meteor Storm were only 1500 each so it seemed like a crime not get them.

Anyway, I enjoyed the story, I'm curious to see what they do with Meteor, and how his character will fit into the show. I hope I like him. I didn't like Accel at all, for a long way thru the show, but in the end I realized I liked him quite a lot, so hopefully I won't hate Meteor, since i ordered all of his figures in one go.

Also watched Wizard ep 4. I find Rinko to be very attractive and Koyomi to be a bit of a bitch. Well, to Rinko and Shunpei. Shunpei is a nobody so far, but he looks like he might become annoying if they aren't careful with him. Haruto is engaging enough so far.

I really dig Wizard's design, and I'm liking the magic aspect of it.

Incredibly late to the show, but I've started on Wizard and thus for I'm getting kind of a retro feeling from it...

Meteor was a pretty wacky but awesome design so I loved it. Being space Bruce Lee really helps though :lol

I can't say I'm actually a fan of Bruce Lee. I've never seen a single thing with him in it.
I own a few movies that I got cheap in some collection at like Ross for $10 or something, but haven't watched them yet.

Oh I don't like any of his movies personally but I respect the man and his skills. He was an artist.

Saving the world without killing Hajime is more correct.
