Line 92:
* In ''[[Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora]]'', Rika survives the difficult heart operation, but only has a few more years to live regardless.
* The ending of ''Solanin''. By this time, it seems that the group has finally somewhat come to terms with Tsuneda's death and Meiko has decided to get another job. However, Ai might be leaving for Sendai which threatens her relationship with Kato who in turn isn't doing well at his job and none of the band members have the motivation to go beyond occasional practices. On top of that, the general sentiment seems to be that life sucks and is boring so you should cherish what small happiness you can get out of it.
* ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]''. The [[Big Bad]] is finally killed, but that in turn means that his creations, Clone!Syaoran and Clone!Sakura can no longer exist. All existence as we know it is falling apart, and the only way to stop it is for Watanuki to be stuck in one world (the shop) and Syaoran Jr. to constantly move between worlds, meaning that both of them will put strain on the relationships of their loved ones. Thankfully, Syaoran Jr. to makes the most of his price by deciding to look for a world that can bring back the clones. Unfortuately, though Watanuki looks like he's coping well enough, it doesn't look like there's much hope for him on the ''[[xxxHolic×××HOLiC]]'' side...
* ''[[Video Girl Ai]]'' sets up for this trope only to subvert it when Ai is rematerialized as a human right after what seemed like a tearful final goodbye in the epilogue. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] ensues.
* In a way the Anime Fanbase received a rather harsh example of this trope. For years many of us wanted to put an end to [[Macekre|Macekres]] and [[Bowdlerization]] in Anime English dubs (in which companies such as 4KidsEntertainment are known offenders). Hackjobs are becoming far more rare in Anime English dubs as the uncut accurate ones are truly becoming the majority. Alas this was starting to happen more since the mid 2000's when [[Network Decay]] became a known epidemic. So while there are substantially less hackjob anime dubs on TV the amount of anime dubs on TV in general is not that much better. Doesn't help that a few of the known Anime Dub companies are dead and most of them are struggling to not follow suit. So to make a long story short, hackjobs are occuring few and far between but the anime industry isn't exactly doing better.
