| I mean, there's so much potential to continue a series that runs for only 12 to 25 episodes. Here are some examples.
Durarara!!
- Celty doesn't get her head back in the last episode?
- Celty gives up her search for her head? WHAT THE HELL?!
- Shizuo and Trollzaya don't get together in some Yaoi action? Nisa is disappoint!
- Kida!!! COME BACK...!!!
- Needs to continue on, the story is half done!
Infinite Stratos
- Shinonono Tabane - She vanishes into thin space in the final episode. WHAT THE HELL IS SHE?
- Ichika finally realizes Houki has a crush on him. I wanna know what happens to the other 4 heroines...
- The I.S. that didn't have one of the original 467 cores, how did it get created? What is it?
- The manga has a longer story, why can't the anime go further?
Angel Beats
- The epilogues don't cut my curiousity.
- Who was the programmer?
- How did the Angel Player program get created?
- What is this afterlife world?
- How did this afterlife world come into existence?
- What happened to all the characters after they left? |

- What happened to all the characters after they left? 1. TV end: Otonashi accepted fate, rebirth. Extra epilogue: Otonashi stayed, becoming the new "Angel" in that he guides everyone to the next life. Most likely to wait for Kanade to come back, similar to The Programmer. 2. "God," created the Purgatory, aka the setting of Angel Beats! 3. Similar to how The Guild creates weapons, pure imagination. (Chaa talks more about how he crafts a gun in the Heaven's Door manga). 4. The Purgatory where you reflect on your life to pass on, in a less "punishment" light and a more "did I live my life how I wanted?" 5. The Programmer. 6. Up to fan speculation. You should never expect the anime to be better than the original source, similar to how movies are never better than the original source. The only top-tier anime are anime originals, because people can't bitch about how it's not similar to a non-existent original. Limited production time, budget, staff, among other things are too many limitations to make a true adaptation. I've learned to accept and deal with it. | |

I only speak truths. Rarely will you ever see a perfect adaptation. But it's even sadder when you realize the only good anime originals come from high budget. Sora no Woto? Does anyone even remember this thing? I loved it, but a lot of people gave it shit for the characters looking like K-On! It was an original anime part of the Anime no Chikara, some project that was meant to be a "let's make anime originals" thing. Three anime, I don't think any of them became popular enough for it to continue (and it didn't). Seikimatsu Gakuin? Never watched it myself, but Senkou no Night Raid? Rarely do I see anyone fondling over these anime. Yet look at Key's Angel Beats! Look at SHAFT's Madoka Magica. I love both, but face it, they don't get shit on because people can't bitch about how badly adapted from their source they are. But furthermore, the fact that anime series are short is a good thing, else they turn into One Piece or Bleach or Naruto. I honestly try to love every anime I watch, so badly that I have this huge ass backlog on my computer consisting of over 300GB+ of episodes I DIDN'T watch. I just get really irritated when people cry and complain about how the anime is so bad compared to the original. I just don't get it, it ruins my mood. | |

| Rule of thumb of anime. Try to enjoy whatever your watching. If it doesn't suit your taste,pretend it does. watch till end,then comment on quality.  | |

| I'm always sad when a series feels half finished. When a series is over I tend to feel a little melancholic, even with a good or happy ending. Just the whole "Oh.... no more....". But, when a series just kinda ends or stops with a half ending, I feel even worse. I also hate the mad grabs for an end, the ones with a "life goes on" kinda feel. Also, LXE, your new pic makes me blush  | |

I don't necessary "drop" things as much as I end up forgetting about it and putting it on the backburner to be picked back up the day I somehow regrow interest to watch. Yeah that happens to me alot too. The worst time was when I stopped watching Casshern Sins before the very last episode and it took me like a couple years to finally watch that final episode. | |

You should never expect the anime to be better than the original source, similar to how movies are never better than the original source. The only top-tier anime are anime originals, because people can't bitch about how it's not similar to a non-existent original. Limited production time, budget, staff, among other things are too many limitations to make a true adaptation. I've learned to accept and deal with it. At LXE all the animes u listed suck. Epsecialy Infinet Stratos no really It sucks. A short series when done right gives u twice no 20x times the plot and story of a 100 ep series. The vision of Escaflone A perfect example of how short animes should be done kept u into the story from beginning to end had plot twists had rivialry had romance.Had really good plot twists. A unguessable story.And From beginning to end was good.Out sold gundam wing dvds.Wait eew i think those were tapes at the time. C controll the money and the soul. It moved fast like it was supposed to if u couldnt keep up with the story or figure out the point of thie anime u are still a kid at mind and have been watching2 many harems and pointles shounens. At Nihil Full Metal alchemist remake was good. And only reason Some Animes based off manga are bad is cause the manga doesent know when to end and kills its self all on going mangas kill themself. Look at hunter x hunter, The guyver,Only long manga that didnt kill its self is fist of the north star and dbz tho not perfect. Thanks to the stupid as manga writer not knowing when to end the story The animator is forced to make his own ending or cut the anime off at a arc. Animes that did this right Guin saga Guyver Thats all i can think of for now. ps about movies 1 word Blade. The blade Movies SHITS on the comics the comic is a fucking joke to the movies well 1 and 2. Wesley snipes fucking made blade with his personality bad assnes martial arts skill and kick ass self made fight choreo the guys a fucking genius. | |

The worst that happens to me is having three episodes left and suddenly deciding to backlog it for a month, only to come back to have to watch it all again. I have commitment issues. - Spoiler:

- Spoiler:
Angel Beats! is 13 episodes based off no original source material from a high-budget company.
Infinite Stratos is 13 episodes.
DRRR!! was 26, no excuse for that.
Escaflowne is 26 episodes.
[C] is 11 episodes based off no original source material from a high-budget company.
FMA is 30+ episodes.
Guin Saga is 26 episodes.
Guyver (the TV series) is 26 episodes.
Notice the trend here? It's possible a majority of your "good" anime is only so good because they have room to BE good. There's a reason for this and it's because the more episodes they're going to show, the more you're allowed to think, "Hey, I like this anime."
Why do you think people like Naruto enough to keep watching? Bleach? One Piece? There's enough episodes to keep them on the same thought, "I like this anime."
Compared to a good 13 episode anime that's more like a quick high, a lengthy anime series is like a drag.
I'm not saying the anime listed are bad, I only watched one of five (that I finished today, that being [C]). However, how many less than 13 episode anime adaptations, the most common amount of episodes, are met with positive criticism?
However, who is to blame, the source creator, the mangaka/novelist, or the source user, animation studios? Neither. Because the source creator created that piece of entertainment out of his imagination for the world, something I must respect. Source users attempt to bring that work to more fame within whatever limits they have, something I must also respect.
Should publishers listen to its viewers and make improvements? Yes. Should you bitch and whine and scream about how this anime is shitty or how that anime is crappy or how those anime suck compared to another anime or how an anime is a piece of trash just because it does not follow the source material 100%? Fuck no. It's called an adaptation. Get tired of it and stop watching like I did to American movie adaptation of books or start distorting your standards so you can enjoy it better, because there is nothing I hate more than people that complain about how bad an anime is constantly.
Going to sleep.

| All I'll say about the Escaflone anime, is that its ending was terrible. Turn it off literally 5 minutes before credits, and you have a great series. Other than that, and a few odd inconsistencies in the story (which must be forgiven, as the project was literally dropped half way through then picked back up by a different director), I loved Escaflone.
I do agree that short series, if done properly, can tell a complete story arc that feels better written than one hundreds of episodes. To keep consistent in comparisons; Gundam Wing was 50ish episodes, and had a few in there that you had to ask why. Gundam: 8th MS team was just over 10, and told a very solid side story to the 1 year war, with far better developed characters than Wing.
On the flip side, longer series such as the original FMA or Card Captor Sakura, need such a length to fully unfold their complex characters and plot.
On a side note, BT: be nice to LXE! One must never insult another individual's anime taste! | |

| What
A 12-26 episode series usually wraps things up well, if it can't do it in 26 episodes, and not a season-by-season anime then the plot was badly written. HST so full of filler. | |

Guys, stop fighting on my thread! No ones fighting. We pretty much all agree its about story. Theres ares short animes that are bad and leave u unsatisfied Like tryna eata bag of chips for dinner. Then theres short animes that have a shit ton of story thatleave u stuff. Pretty much most bad animes dont follow the BASIC rules to story telling and the person who made it has no business making a anime or any type of story what so ever. And sorry Im not tryna be mean Im just brutally honest i cant lie. Theres nthn wrong with likeing BAD animes some of the animes I like are bad and pointless shit but a small part in my heart likes em still. | |
