Super man and his cousin Kara hug it out...

If the series ended here, this would be perfect, and I believe that having tied up all significant character arcs, the creators planned that as a reasonable contingency.

I felt this way after the end of A:TLA, but few other shows. Both FMA ended upbeat, 'Cowboy Bebop' bebop ended so bitterly bittersweet, as did 'Gunslinger Girl', GitS and 'Eureka Seven'.

In fact, with CB and GG, I have determined that the message is we don't get out of this alive, but if we're lucky we get to remain who we are or even redeem ourselves.

That's what I was going for with 'Lifeboat Captains', among others.
