According to rumor/legend the japanese don't feel it's necessary to have a definitive ending for stories. Also I kind of get the impression that often the "mysterious" endings have a tendency to happen simply because they ran out of ideas and decided to have something strange and puzzling happen so it's not obvious.I was at the anime con in NYC two years ago and Yoshiyuki Tomino was there for a screening of "Char's Counter Attack" in a theater. For you non-gundam fans the movie ends with the hero trying to stop an asteroid base from hitting the earth and killing everyone. As it is burning through the atmosphere, he and the antagonist (Char) are talking about their shared history and then suddenly this energy starts spilling out everywhere and the screen goes white. It then cuts to the asteroid suddenly going back into orbit while the energy and this little T piece of the mcguffin flies around and creates a glowing ring of multi colored energy surrounding the earth. Various scenes of different characters watching this event from the earth and finally I think, shots of a house in the winter with the energy ring overhead and the sounds of a baby crying. Now since every gundam fan I ever knew has been puzzled as to exactly what the hell was going on, as you might expect in the Q&A session after the movie he was asked what exactly the hell was going on at the end of the movie. He flatly (with some humor) refused to say anything about it, stating something to the effect of "You would laugh if I told you".</blockquote>
