I hate almost every anime ending ever. As for the final Kenshin OVA, I consider it to not exist too because it was so bad, you might as well as series 3 of Kenshin in there too because that was pretty much pointless. As far as I'm concerned it ended with Shishio and then continued a little while later with the movie. The final OVA and 3rd series are both pointless and hold no real meaning, so to me I don't consider them to exist.
My problem overall with most anime endings is that they tend to either go all pansy and do some "oh look we used some kind of magic and saved the universe", or "lots of people die, its a sad ending" or "And they continued on their adventures to leave it open in case we ever decide to make any more, but if we don't then they lived happily ever after".
Not that I have a problem with the final option, as thats the one from the 3 staples of anime endings that I think is ok. I normally hate the other 2 because they are normally so out of place with the context, actions and atmosphere of the anime and it just tends to seem like they are just looking for a quick and easy way to end it with as little hassle as possible.
Again, even if everyone dies, I don't have a problem with it in theory, but they tend to die in stupid fights or for some dumb reason, nothing particularly clever or interesting. Especially when they break their own rules, eg: Someone survives countless fights, explosions, slashes, energy blasts etc.. only to suddenly die from one punch/slash/beam just because the enemy is meant to be all super evil or something.
But if people die in a meaningful way then I think it can be quite entertaining and of a high quality, but what I don't want is End of Evangelion where everyone dies for no particularly important or interesting reason.
