My mistake. Already more than 10 years or so. But still remem
ber the ducky ending.

Well, the manga is painfully slow. Perhaps it's better to have ended the anime there than to have the animators make up stuff (eg, the original FMA anime).

I guess that's what happens when the manga can't keep up with the anime. Same for claymore. But for claymore anime ending was acceptable

That is just a gimmick, a "hero's skill". The actual story is quite interesting. Imagine a group of people chosen to be heroes and sent to destroy evil. Midway through the journey the majority of them decided they don't want to continue because they are afraid. The remainder continued on and completed their mission. On the way back, they were suddenly ambushed and killed by the cowards who are afraid of the truth being exposed.

Only one of the true heroes survived. By the time he recovered and returned, the cowards were now elevated to high positions in the country and the real heroes instead were labeled as traitors. And so starts an epic story of revenge.

Oh, there's sex and nudity involved.

Sound interesting. On going or complete lioa
