When you're watching a show, do you prefer an ending that sticks to the pattern and delivers what the show has led you to expect, or would you rather have something more wild?
I've been watching a bit of the lesser remembered Gainax anime, and they're usual one for an unexpected ending. To some degree I appriciate that it forces me to reconsider the mindset I'd gotten myself in throughout the series, often after a bit of effort I can try and reason out why it happened. However, it also often feels rushed, and will muddy the waters of a good thematic arc will last minute changes, which are often not reinforced by anything from earlier on
