 * Delete, possibly WP:SNOWBALL. -- Ned Scott 06:44, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete didn't we already see this at Articles for deletion/Gainax ending? JuJube 06:59, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete "A twist ending in anime series is usually more complex than a twist ending in other genres...". Is it? Says who? Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. -- Islay Solomon  |  talk  07:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. MER-C 11:00, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete not only is it original research but it is half assed, unsourced, unverifiable "research" paper. It doesn't explain what a "twist ending" is or how such endings in anime are "more complicated" then other "twist endings". --Farix (Talk) 12:06, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Though obviously needs to be improved with a few sources. Mathmo Talk 13:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Farix. Krimpet 16:15, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Unreferenced original research by the article author. Dugwiki 22:24, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete It's more of a categorization then an article.(Duane543 22:42, 1 February 2007 (UTC))
 * Delete I'm not even sure if it counts as original research rather than a pointless list of random anime that (may) have twist endings, with an unsubstantiated claim that these are somehow more significant and difficult to follow than twists in other media. There doesn't seem to be any useful information that wouldn't be covered in series' own pages - or, indeed, any *point*. Lindleyle 14:30, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. Seems to fail WP:OR but might be salvagable. Arakunem 20:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Anime's a medium, not a genre. This is not only OR, but slanted OR based on a mistaken assumption.  There's nothing intrinsic to animation that makes twist endings more complex than in print, live-action film, or radio drama -- that's a factor of the writing and direction.  Additionally, I doubt there's anything about anime that makes its twist endings broadly different from any other twist endings, so I see no purpose in keeping this article unless a source making such a claim can be produced.
