Manga Endings Better Than Anime?

I recently finished the Fruits Basket anime and I have to say, the ending pretty much sucked. And that's not the first time an ending was bad, I found the Death Note anime ending was really terrible. But I also found that I enjoyed the manga ending more, as it had more action and the anime was just too melancholy. I haven't finished the Fruits Basket manga but I think it's safe to assume that the ending will be much better than the anime.
