Default 9/27/09 - 5 anime with the worst non-endings

This week we'll vote for 5 anime with the worst non-endings.

Sometimes, usually with an anime based off a manga or some other source material, the ending won't be much of an ending at all. The story just stops in the middle somewhere, leaving all kinds of loose ends, almost as if the entire series was one big teaser for the manga/source. Which anime have you seen that are the most egregious offenders of this?

Happy Voting ^_^

**Voting Closed**

The top 5:

Claymore
Skip Beat
Kare Kano
Berserk
Fruits Basket

Thanks for voting!

(Not really the worst not-endings, but the most disappointing because of how much I loved them.)

For an on-going manga adaptation, where they chose to end it was alright, but I would hardly call it an ending. On-going manga adaptations in general infuriate me.

Not that it was bad, I was just too pissed off at the "outcome". Nothing was resolved in the end...
