These kind of endings in media can put fans of a certain fandom for a very long time and make them mad because they can feel like they've been cheated due to unresolved issues or the lead character dying. That's why fanfiction is needed its allows writers to wrap there heads around the unresolved character issues and readers get a chance to see the characters carry on and maybe have some form of happy ending or at least get some form of closure.
This seems self-deceptive, you create your perfect world through the painful reality around you, I believe that animes are made with the ultimate goal of learning lessons, the characters and all of your universe are products created by the author.
