What happened to Aqua and the choices in the last chapters bothered me, but other than that I liked everything else.

The best and only way is completely rewrite the ending. Live-action already tried to make this at least partially meaningful, and the movie final bombed at the box office.

@ReMightyRon The fact that even those who defend the ending understand that their opinion sounds provocative speaks volumes.

@rohan121 unironically that probably would have been a better ending.

I don't see why people are bothered with what happened to Aqua, nothing about his character arc showed his gonna have a happy ending and his character ended in the exact way I expected it would

@Blindsilo94 yes but aqua died for a lame reason......in manga He died because he doesn't want ruby to be called as sister of the killer so he killed himself with hikaru...... But it was not even necessary to kill himself in this situation, he could label the incident as a part of self defense or he could have done so many things to hide the dead body after killing him. So in the end it was pointless for him to die................ I understand that it was hinted that aqua is going to die since beginning but they could have done it with a proper reason.............. Manga ended with this ending due to rough schedule from editorial department and abruptly ending the story to start new series........
So I hope they will do these minimum changes to make the ending much better in my opinion

That's pretty much my opinion on it as someone who hasn't read it but only heard people talk about it.

I, from what I have seen so far for a while, I can see that this is where Aqua as a character is heading and have no problem with a self sacrifice ending.

If people are gonna argue it's a bad ending because it's rushed or not executed well, I might agree when I see/read it for myself. If people's problem is with the direction itself, then I disagree completely.

According to me, ending must be painful so it remains in mind of people.

I like how the other work simply skips chapters to reach the ending quick

Do the same exact thing but just execute it better

The content isn’t the issue it is the execution.

@Skeltro105 You, my brother, have spoken WISE words. I think they really will expand upon the manga ending, since the anime team clearly are passionate towards the IP as a whole.

Ruby and Aqua marry as promised in their previous lives, and then have Ai reincarnate as their daughter.

hopefully they don't really change anything in terms of the actual plot. they could add some more scenes and context to amplify the emotional impact, but I honestly believe the ending should be left as is (I enjoyed it personally)

As someone who hated the manga ending, I read about what the live action did with their version of the ending and I think I still prefer the manga.
The one redeeming factor of the manga ending is that Hikaru bangs his head the same way Katayose Yura did when he killed her.

While watching the anime and remembering everything, it made me think that the ending was even worse. My complains were even more valid, basically it made Aqua development non existent and it made me mad, even more considering that Aqua is smart.

The rest is like @Skeltro105 said basically.

They should farm it. The author got tired of the series but someone else might be suited to pick it up and extend it out.

I mean they saw the car crash. Why commit to that? There's an opportunity to do something different. Plus American firms at least farming franchises. Oshi No Ko didn't feel ready for death when it ended. There's enough there to farm it out for an additional 2 cours without it being forced.

I think they can preserve the bones if they want but it seems silly to not give the final arc some time to breathe and match the rest of the series in quality.

@thelastavocado Yes, they covered ~75% in 3 seasons. The remaining quarter in the 4th season is consistent with the pacing the anime had so far.
