so absolutely no one got to be with who they wanted?
whoa spoilers.
>>288314474I think the implication at the end is that they can jump between worlds when they want. Or maybe it was a hallucination.
>>288314474The best love stories is when the main couple do not end up together
>>288315481That was the implication, but I get the impression they both just moved on with their lives. Otherwise they'd just be making the same mistakes as Alan's dad and Dornkirk in pursuit of a transient moment of bliss.
>>288315500That is a terrible opinion but I respect your conviction.
>>288315554>Gone with the Wind>Notebook>My Girl>Bridge to Terabitha>Tess of the Durbervilles>Titanic>Atonement>Romeo and Juliet>Othello>Casablanca
>>288315641Quite a few of those are shit
>>288315641>The best love stories>Emotionally manipulative garbage that is completely unenjoyable if you don't turn off your brain>And tragedies
>>288315698>>288315763As opposed to all the wish fulfillment nonsense we've been laden with since SAO was astroturfed into the mainstream consciousness of the animu community? I think all the slop of the past 10 years has rotted your brain. Anime up to very recently has been very consistent with the fact that you either don't get the girl or you do but the doing will take such a toll on your body and mind that you might be better off dead.
>>288315641>>My Girlliterally the love interest dies from bee stings
>>288315904SAO was probably the worst thing to happen to the anime community since Lucky Star.
>>288315904>but what about this other shitty thing?No, you're the one with the brain rot. The existence of other shitty things doesn't magically make the initial thing no longer shitty.> Anime up to very recently has been very consistent with the fact that you either don't get the girl or you do but the doing will take such a toll on your body and mind that you might be better off dead.That's not true. Watch more anime.
This is why NTR anime is the best.
>>288316238Kill yourself
>>288314474Didn't the brother ended up with the catgirls?
>>288315641>>TitanicDamn, femanons do exist.
>>288316325both catgirls died! And the brother died too :(
>>288315641>atonementThat's not a love story....
>>288315641Women will literally read a story about how pursuing romance can have tragic consequences and think it's romantic
>>288315641r u single
>>288315641Don't forget the greatest one of them all, Initial D.
>>288315641There's also The Count of Monte Christo, but the ending's been changed so many times it's beyond parody.
>>288314474The whole point of the story is for the characters to learn to put their responsibilties before what they want. Of course the only one who does not do that is the big bad.
>>288315500There's something powerful about a love story that ends with the story itself. The love story is the story itself, when the story ends, this is it, if you want more, you have to revisit that story. Escaflowne ending hit the way it did because if that.
>>288314474Yukari wins and then by extension so does Amano by dodging the Hitomi bullet.
>>288316325In the afterlife ;_;
>>288314474Yes
>>288316325>>288316767>>288325919He's pounding those pussies in Heaven.
>>288314474the guy got to be with rather hot and loyal catgirl
>>288316376Zoomer spotted. Everyone loved Titanic, it was a big disaster spectacle for men as much as it was a love story. It even has a lot of boys' first bare tits in it.
>>288315481It was a crappy "it was all a dream" end. One of the worst isekais ever made.
