Everything is Shit

Jesus Nega-Christ, pretty much all the series this season ended in a horrible cliché-fuckfest. Kaminai and Gen'ei both bombed miserably in a way that makes me deeply zaad. To explain further:
Kaminai didn't fix up its meandering ways and ended with tying up the Alis/Alice subplot, which is fine and all, but it's really not a fitting ending for a series that showed so much potential. To the end, Kaminai carried its main flaw of unexplored potential - and I'm still of the conviction that if Hampnie had survived, the series would have gone off in a more satisfying direction. Hampnie was a pivotal character who gave the show drive and initiative, pushing it to do something greater than be a glorified anime road-movie. When he died, and his subplot with him, the series lost momentum and was forced into countless pointless, inconclusive side stories. Ortus was promising, but after that, with the Academy arc, the series finally seemed to give up. It introduced countless new characters and then threw them away, and the arc itself was a rushed hack job that came out of nowhere, driven by that mysterious, universe-bending force known as "The Studio's Deadline". The hurried pace, inconclusive storyline, indecisive mood and theme, character jumblefuck, irregular momentum and overall inconsistency, topped off with a half-assed ending that makes you wonder where the first two episodes and their fascinating mood went all boil together in one huge clusterfuck, one that gets a 60/100 from my side. The concept, mood and animation put it just above average - an interesting experience, but one that turned out to be a disappointing waste of potential.
Gen'ei, meanwhile, got better and better during the series' run, going from an irregularly paced Madoka ripoff to a frantic, crushingly dark series not afraid to hurt its characters. In the end, however, it falls flat in an inconclusive cop-out ending that makes you wonder what the point of it all really was. Everything was ready for a fantastic ending in tune with the series' mood - the show had built up an interesting, flawed main cast with genuine internal schisms, the show had found direction and pace, Cerebrum was a truly fantastic villain - everything was perfect. Instead, the series ends with a cheap, cheesy happy ending, an unsatisfying cheesefest that makes me wonder why I even bothered watching the show. The whole plot and all the character development is scrapped in the end for a neat cop-out that leaves us where we started, without any real feeling of payoff. Cerebrum, the series' most interesting character and a villain who manages to accomplish goals through manipulation alone, is fought seemingly "because the final boss has to be defeated", the Leguzario plot is pissed away, Ginka comes back from the dead for no reason but plot convenience, and the ending scene is a cliché, vomit-inducing scene of the girls on their way to their new magical-girl-love-in-adventures. The ending is cheap, forced, hackneyed and most of all unsatisfying. All the progress achieved through the show, all the promise the show built up in plot and character development, is thrown away in a way that makes you wonder what the purpose of it all even was. It makes me feel hollow, zaad and in the mood to fire a good old Excelion Breaker at the studio staff.
The series itself is a 75/100. The ending can die in a pool of AIDS.
