Hah! It would be funny if somebody said "The Sopranos".
Oh, Babylon 5 had great ending. As well as remake of BSG.

I think it was mentioned already, but Cowboy Bebop had one of the best endings ever. It just felt like that was how it was supposed to happen.
Also it's about the only anime (film or series) I've seen where everything doesn't turn completely batty in the last 30 minutes.

lukaszthegreat: overreated is NGE.

Testified. Let me cast my vote in advance for Evangelion as "worst series ending ever". And that's coming from a fan... I remember checking in with the video store each week to see if the latest DVD had been released by Madman.

Considering that it was cut short, I think the Twin Peaks finale was pretty damn great. It didn't wrap up or explain much of anything, but it was certainly a dramatic culmination of the events that went up to it.
I forgot Blackadder Yes it continued but this was a magnificent end.

cogadh: The "All Good Things..." episode of Star Trek TNG, hands down.
That Angel ending, as cool as it was, wasn't actually the ending of the story. Angel, just like Buffy, continued as a comic book series right where the TV series ended. Angel actually ends up catching and taming that dragon. He named it "Cordelia".

Admittedly, I haven't read them, but I have to consider these comics an abomination. The final episode was superb--it was right where the show needed to end, and any attempt to continue the story from that point completely undermines the point of it.
Among the previously mentioned finales, I love the Battlestar Galactica finale, warts and all. Cowboy Bebop ended wonderfully--"You're gonna carry that weight." And The Wire really got me for that moment when Bubbles finally went up that staircase.
The Shield also deserves a mention. Nice, messy ending for a nice, messy cop drama.

Cryxo: Hah! It would be funny if somebody said "The Sopranos".

Actually, although I had mixed feelings about much of the episode, the final five minutes or so were absolutely perfect. And not just because of the hilarious fan reaction.

If they were written by anyone other than Joss Whedon, I might agree with you, but both the Buffy: Season 8 and Angel: After the Fall series were where Joss intended each show to go, had they been given the one more season he wanted.

I recently watched this and loved it, it seems our tastes are similar.
What are some other animes that a Cowboy Bebop fan would enjoy? I haven't seen anything else.

captfitz: the wire

When you walk through the garden.......
:) The wire was great....
Oh and great thread! Think next show ill watch will be TNG or something else that gets recommended.
I don't remember it very well, but when Cheers ended I was incredibly sad and I thought they had a great send off in the series finale.
