(Note-I swear a bit in this, and its almost 1 am were I am, so I'm too tired to censor it at the moment. There are also spoilers about the series so if you have not seen it do not read any further.
Of course if your the type who does not give a shit about it read on.)

Okay I have to vent/rant right now. I'm so conflicted at the moment about the series called Brigadoon Marin to Melan. Its such an interesting story but the thing about it, is that the anime is different compared to the manga. I watched the Anime first, and there was so many feels during the show, plus the ending was complete icing on the cake. Then after many years, I finally got up to read the manga but compared to the anime it was different with how the story came out.

The ending though...That ending...That Fucking ending...Fucking pissed me off!!!!!!! 

I call fucking Bullshit on that manga ending like seriously for those who have seen this series you can probably see why I'm pissed! My god, compared to the anime and manga, I prefer the Anime since during some episodes they built on Marin and Melan's relationship that leads up to the final episode.

SPOILER ALERT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manga ending:
Marin saves Earth and Brigadoon(yeah); she returns home but is only there to say her goodbyes as the small window between worlds is open for a short time. Everyone(Adoptive family, and friends) happy she has found her biological family gives they're consent for her to live on Brigadoon despite it will be 100 years until they meet again. Marin then decides to stay on earth with her adopted family. As she says goodbye to her Brigadoon mother, Maureen; Melan her protector robot, who has been by her side the entire series, at that point realizes his feelings for her. Having a bittersweet goodbye, Marin tells she loves him. They then leave to return to Brigadoon as the portal between worlds closes and does not open until 100 years later. 
(Sucky Bulllshit ending WTF#$%^&*(FTW)(*&^%$#$%^&*)

Anime ending:
Marin saves Earth and Brigadoon(different action compared to the manga) Marin and Melan return to earth and everything goes back to normal. But the portal between worlds is closing and Melan must return back to Brigadoon. At that point he admits he loves Marin and he will never forget her after a 100 years. Marin asking for him to stay then tells she too loves him as well. Crying for him to stay, Melan unable to hold back his over flowing tears, leans down as Marin pushes forward and the 2 kiss(Watch the ending its more magical then how I write it. Be prepared there will be tears TTTT-TTTT)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plus there may be people who criticize on the obvious reasons as to why those 2 are not meant to be but this is my opinion so please don't flame on me about it.

Anyway this is just a rant on how upset I am about the manga version of this series. But again I call Bullshit it on it.
