Yes, I see what people meant, now. In complete honesty, if you haven't read the manga, it's a good ending. However, if you're going to wrap up your current plotline but deliberately leave things open for a sequel, why mess with things when that plotline in the manga already does exactly that? Why rewrite the storyline to make any sequel require a plot that isn't remotely connected to the manga's storyline?
It wouldn't be bad if you didn't know about the Era of Badass Leather Awesomeness Where Miria Is the Most Awesome Thing Ever that was supposed to come next. Uhm...uhm...the changes completely remove the entire point of the Pieta arc, and the brief references to the original story don't seem to make much sense unless you know what they're talking about. Really, letting Pieta play out exactly as it did in the manga, and then having the first chapter and a bit of the second of the current arc as an epilogue would have given just as much closure to the story as what they went with did.

I did like, though, that it showed Raki having to realize and accept that Claire will eventually become an Awakened One. Whether you like Raki or not, there's no getting around the fact that he is the most important person in Claire's life, and that, at this point in his story, Claire is his entire world, and that is an important part of his arc. Unfortunately, I doubt we'll get to see that first hand in the manga.
The there's Jean's death. On the one hand, they kinda win by having her drag herself to the volcano. On the other, they TOTALLY LOSE for not having her do her thing until after Raki had tried.
I really, really wish that had at least left it more clear that The Organization was taking advantage of the chance to clean house, or that they had at least still killed off everyone but the ones who were supposed to die. There seemed to be at least a 50+% survival rate. OR JUST LEFT MY PRECIOUS PIETA ARC ALONE SO I COULD STILL HAVE MY ERA OF BADASS LEATHER AWESOMENESS!!!!
