* ''Series/NovolandEagleFlag'': Asule and Ji Ye lead their combined armies into battle, they charge at the enemy, the scene fades out before the armies collide, cut to a shot of the city... and that's it.

* ''Manga/HikaruNoGo'' ends after Hikaru's team loses the Hokuto Cup, and Hikaru vowing to continue playing Go -- which he has pretty much been doing throughout the entire series. Given that the point of the story is for Hikaru to become a master, ending when he's not even close to reach his goal is... unsatisfactory to say the least.

** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E20TheTroubleWithTrillions The Trouble With Trillions]]" ends with Homer, Mr. Burns, and Smithers stuck on a makeshift raft sailing from Cuba to the USA while being wanted criminals by the latter for stealing a trillion-dollar bill (and that's before they accidentally gave it to Fidel Castro.) The closest thing to a resolution to this is an off-hand remark by Mr. Burns that he'll bribe the jury.

* In ''VideoGame/RazingStorm'', [[spoiler:after completing Stage 4 (the true final stage you get after surviving the third stage boss' attacks), your squad receives a message that Bravo Team (the other team) was intercepted and captured. As your squad gets ready to rescue them, the credits roll. The Playstation 3 version eventually gave the plot closure, but only on the separate FirstPersonShooter mode.]]
* Blue's scenario in ''VideoGame/SagaFrontier''. Upon dealing enough damage to the final boss, the screen will freeze mid-attack, fade to gray, and send you back to the title. Supposedly this is supposed to represent Blue fighting the Final Boss over and over again for all eternity, but it would have been nice if there was some text actually explaining this.



* ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}'': The game's story juggles between the dream world Headspace and the real world Faraway Town. On the main route, when the game reaches a shocking WhamEpisode in the final day, the adventure in the Headspace unceremoniously comes to an abrupt end and you never visit there again. All those cool and fantastical lore in the Headspace is all gone without closure. This is because the Headspace is nothing but a distraction to prevent the protagonist from reaching the AwfulTruth and the game's true ending instigates that he has to wake up and come to terms with his real-life. There's a method to restore the Headspace, but this goes against its AntiEscapismAesop and ultimately leads you to worse endings as a punishment.

* ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo'': The anime ends abruptly as the gang is running up the stairs towards the final battle. [[EndOfSeriesAwareness Bo-bobo makes note that the series has run out of funding]], with most of the most sane characters reacting as you'd expect them to. The manga, however, goes on for much... much longer. Given that the anime heavily relied on comedy, it goes to show that the anime would willingly sacrifice the opportunity to properly resolve it’s own story just for the sake of a joke.

While it's implied the conflict of the Irish Civil War is winding down offscreen, the main characters' lives are both materially worse and they're both stuck on the island with each other.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** In "Stranger Than Fan Fiction", at the end, Rainbow returns the sentiment, complimenting Quibble for his perception and puzzle-solving skills. As they leave the jungle as friends, Quibble goes on an extended ramble about his Daring Do fan fiction that continues over the end credits.
** The episode "The Cart Before the Ponies", ends with Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash watching the foals performing the second race without the adults. No outcome is shown.
** In "Fame and Misfortune", while the Mane Six do learn a lesson, the episode doesn't have a resolution. It just stops, with the Mane Six having been shut inside the castle, and the massive pony crowd outside still arguing.
** In "Between Dark and Dawn", while the sisters manage to resolve their differences, they have to help Twilight fix the device that is making the sun and moon rise and set. They rush over to help her but the episode ends before the sisters could fix the device or even make it back to the Canterlot Castle. Fortunately, in the next episode, everything's fine.
** In "A Trivial Pursuit", it is never revealed who won the game nor does the episode end with the game itself ending.



** In the episode Martha The Hero Maker, T.D. runs out of paper, his comic ends before we find out if Helen and Truman got saved.

* ''VideoGame/HalfLife2 Episode 2'' ends in a rather infamous cliffhanger with Gordon and Alyx getting ready to head off to the arctic in search of Dr. Mossman and the mysterious cargo ship the Borealis when Alyx's father, Eli, is horrifically killed in a Combine ambush. As Alyx sobs over Eli's body, the screen fades to black in what is probably one of the most tragic endings ever seen in a video game. ''Episode 2'' was released in 2007, and for whatever reason, Creator/ValveCorporation has never seen fit to continue the storyline.

* The sequel to ''VideoGame/FreedomForce'', titled ''Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich'' ends on a cliffhanger with Alchemiss preventing her own FaceHeelTurn by warping time in order to cause her own non-existentance, only for her to end up in an alternate dimension where she comes face to face with a personification of the mysterious Energy X which is the substance that gave all the heroes their superpowers. Creator/IrrationalGames never made a third game in the series, likely due to the fact that they nearly went bankrupt self-publishing ''Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich'' and were bought by 2K Games shortly after.
