[Anime recommendations]

Black Lagoon seems to be great.

 

Having seen the first 12 episodes, I'd say it could have been a fantastic series. But it ended up pretty flawed.

 

The problem is that it is supposed to be a realistic series (that's what makes it interesting). But the creators of BL just had to go and insert

[Anime recommendations]

Finale aka End of Evangelion is awesome. Asuka's fight, JSDF's assault, postmodernism of Human Instrumentality Project and creepy ending. Me likes, me likes a lot. Heck, one of my favorite films ever.

 

You forgot to mention Shinji masturbating over an unconscious Asuka and later letting her get slaughtered because he's paralysed with fright...

 

The movie wasn't bad but, seriously, did Shinji have to be so pathetic ?

 

Mind you, I enjoyed the ending of the series. Complete Non Sequitur but interesting nonetheless.

 

My suggestions would be :

 

- Shoujo Kakumei Utena, my personal favorite

 

- Most Ghibli stuff ; just stay away from Pom Poko and Kiki's Delivery Service

 

- Perfect Blue

 

- Boogiepop Phantom

 

- School Rumble

[The Worst Game Endings]

Oh man, I hated Defender of the Crown.  After jousts my royal dude always looked SOooooo depressed.

 

I don't think I ever won a single joust. But I once managed to kill my opponent's horse.

 

Anyway, about worst endings :

 

- Arcanum : the whole game tends to be disappointing, but the end is especially lame.

 

- Icewind Dale : I hate IWD ; the fact that they inserted Crenshinibon in it only made it worse (what is it with D&D CRPG and Salvatore novels, seriously ?) ; also, Balhifet ranks among the least interesting villains ever.

 

- Anything from Silmarils : they just couldn't be bothered with actually giving their games real endings.

 

- MM 6 : Yeah, I just blew up a random demon base ! I really feel like I accomplished something !
