Yeah, I kinda read ahead for the anime and didn't like the ending either (probably also why I didn't finish it). Some animes did a good job and pulled it off, making the anime ending original and good. But others, like this one, left a bad taste in my mouth XP
Several have done it (Samurai Deeper Kyo, Grappler Baki, I could go on...) so im nearly only manga. I have around 100 favourites as currently reading on my manga reading app, though some are just stuff i want to reread that i liked.
