Good evening everybody! This is Aifos coming to you alive from a little town in the middle of nowhere called Bismuth! I would say it’s lovely, but frankly it’s something of a wreck!
But anyway, I’ve got a question for you! It can be from books, movies, games, whatever, but what is your opinion on timeskip endings?
A timeskip ending, for those unaware, is when the final chapter/epilogue/etc. jumps a significant amount of time into the future—for example, let’s say a year—after the conflict has been resolved, showing how things have gone since then and whatnot.
Be as in depth as you can please; what do you like/dislike about them? If your opinion on them differs between different mediums, please elaborate. So on, so forth.
[b][u]Tl;dr? Here’s my point![/u][/b]
What do you think of timeskip endings in books and whatnot? If you don’t know what that is, please read above.
Thank you for your input in advance! Jambuhbye!

13 RepliesIMO timeskip endings kind of rely on the quality of storytelling leading up to it. It can either leave a worse last impression on a bad anime, or it can further satisfy an already good story. Bad example: Franxx Why: [spoiler]the final leg of the show’s storytelling was no where as good as the beginning of the the show. Random plot points, cliffhanger, sudden changes in storytelling theme were some of the big problems to me.[/spoiler] Good example: FMA: Brotherhood Why: [spoiler]everything leading up to the skip was done well and few unanswered plot points. All the characters had their arcs complete by the time of the timeskip.[/spoiler]
