At least with Ryuki there is resolution. The sacrifices and struggles of all the characters resulted in their lives being better than they'd been before. They got to have that war expunged from them. They never had to suffer through that again. An ending without resolution is pointless. AKA (in my opinion) Dairanger, a cyclical war. I know it's your favorite show and no matter what anyone says you'll defend it, but at the end of the day there's a logical argument for that being a terrible ending and yes, a middle finger to fans.

So does that mean the ending to Kiva invalidated the series because the Fangires are back to attack humans? Or the ending to 555 invalidated the series because the king is not dead? How about Blade, because there are still two Undeads walking the Earth? Hibiki never had them finish the actual guy and girl. Kabuto too, as they never actually defeated the Worms. Hell, even W, OOO, and Fourze can be invalidated because Foundation X is still on the loose.
