Has it always been like this?Not all anime is like this sure sure, but holy shit a lot of them do it and some are so shameless about it.
>>283113538watch better anime
>>283113561I am
>>283113538I can't think of a single anime that is like this
>>283113580name 3 anime that's like this
>>283113538don't forget all the timr taken up by still images
>>283113538watch something other than one piece
>>283113590It's one piece
>>283113538Things like this is why anime sometimes frustrates me so muchAlso the ending of the 12 episode anime that stops when it was about to get interesting so it becomes some sort of cliffhanger ad for the next seasonAnd the next season? Sometimes it comes 2 years after but it seems most of the time it's nowhere be seen even years after the fact...
>>283113538stop watching shonenslop, retard
Have you tried watching things that are not DBZ, Naruto, One Piece, or Bleach?
>>283113590Katekyo Hitman Reborn was like that
>>283113538stop watching shonenshit
>"new content"
>>283113538>jopunis people extremely well known for their autistic borderline rabid work ethic>inventors of a type of media that is riddled with lazy practices, skimping and cutting corners wherever possiblethe irony is funny
>>283113538Stop watching shounen trash.
>>283113590Bleach
>>283113590Naruro shippuden but add 2 minures of jinchuriki song and new content is mixed with filler
>>283113538I am pretty sure that has been the average shounen series experience whenever the series hits a point where they are running out of manga material and have to come up with shit and quick for the weeks episode. Do they still have a whole episode dedicated to a recap of the entire series until then? Been a while since I last watched any shounen series.
ninbros...
>>283113893They've stopped making endless series, One Piece is the only one left. All the newer series from Jump etc get shorter seasons with significant breaks in between.In general there's very few series with more than two consecutive cours.Recap episodes however are more present than ever due to strained production schedules.
>>283114015One step forward and two steps back, I see.
>>283113590any long-running shonen. op is just a shonentard.
>>283113538I've never watched a single anime like thisWhat kinda garbage are you watching?
>>283114671OPs pic is a little overexagurated, but still I would say there are a lot of anime that only have around 50% original content per episode. Western cartoons tend to have more. Shorter intros/outros, little to no flashbacks or recycled scenes etc.
>>283113724It hits so hard when the media I'm watching has new content
>>283114822we should be content with just watching old rehashed contentthe modern cosoomer is so spoiled, needing "new" content to consoompathetic
>>283113538this is only a problem with shonen
>>283113538Yes and it’s not worth watching
>all these replies immediately pinning it on shounenshit
>>283113538This is mostly for long ass running shounens like Bleach, Naruto and One piece. Doesn't happen much nowadays.
>>283113538That why you shouldn't watch long running shounen. Skill issue.
>>283113538>>283113590Watch more anime, normalfags.
>>283113590Made me think of Gundam Seed back when I was a wee bab. Don't know if it was particularly egregious or if that was just the first time I was old enough to notice the pattern, and I'm certainly not going to rewatch it and find out.
>>283113893Recap episodes are common for all kinds of shows, but they're usually unnumbered specials these days and often get skipped by western licensors.
>>283113590Undead Unluck, unfortunatelyIts not common outside of eternal shonen series and those really aren't a thing anymore besides One Piece and Detective Conan
>>283113538For One Piece I'd rather have this and the quality be acceptable than it being padded to shit on top of being low quality.
>>283115490SEED and SEED Destiny had production issues that led to a lot of recap episodes being used to buy time, but outside of the recaps they've got about as much going on per episode as any Gundam series
>>283115725>Undead UnluckThey really set it up to fail. Fuck Shueisha, fuck Hulu, fuck the nipponese
>>283113893>>283115684Most recaps are just to make time if the animation studio failed at scheduling. Just watch Shirobako.
>>283115725Detective Conan is so fucking long and episodic now that they get away with just doing regular reruns and don't have to stretch shit.
>>283113538Tried watching one piece and naruto.All the episodes were like thisHow these series got popular at all is beyond me
>>283116542I imagine it's because of the manga.
>>283113538Happens when you need to stretch out 20 pages into 20+ minutes.
>>283116542Shounen series are always about the fights. Sometimes the music is nice as well. You don't really need anything else than that, and it's just easier to cut costs on new episodes when you can have a flashback or several to save up for the next big fight scene.
>>283113590The last Kuroshitsuji season was like this
>>283115950>Just watch Shirobako.Has a lot of outdated info. The industry has changed for the worse since the original run of Shirobako.
>>283116871The Public School arc also had really short episodes
>>283113771>known for their autistic borderline rabid work ethicjaps give off the illusion of being hard working simply because their corporate overlords make everyone stay late or theyll be ostracized in the workplace. japan is one of the least productive places on earth per hour worked because salarymen stay 3 hours after every shift doing nothing but trying to look busy for the boss or going drinking with the boss.you can find a bunch of japanese dudes on social media talking about how they were forced to quit a job just because they refused to go drinking with their manager and went home instead.
>>283113538only for shonenshitters
>>283113590Almost all of the episodes of One Piece, so yeah, One Piece. Battle Shounens in general do that sometimes.
>>283113538Stop watching shit battle shounen shows.>>283113590Every single long running shounen show.
>>283113538Stop being black, op.
>>283113538stop watching weekly shonen jump anime
>>283115739I recent watched the special edition. They omitted the recap episodes but the amount of repeated content was higher than other Gundam series aside from the first one and possibly G.
This only happens for series that don’t want to catch up to the manga. Dragon ball had characters power up and scream for minutes to pad out the run time, Toei can’t even be bothered to adapt 2 chapters per episode for OP. This is why the WIT One Piece will be superior and more enjoyable
>>283120017>Toei can’t even be bothered to adapt 2 chapters per episode for OP.How is that supposed to work when the One Piece anime airs more often than One Piece chapters come out?
>>283113538>contentdie.
>>283113538You need to be 18 or older to post in this board.
>>283120737By doing the same thing everyone else does and either making fillers or switching to seasonal formatUnfortunately they are greedy and talentless hacks
>try to watch a shonen>first 2 episodes are the MCs going to fight someone and maybe training>next 9 episodes are a 5 minute fight padded with flash backs, back stories and a ton of other shit>last episode is them talking about the fight and a hint for the next 5 minute fight that's also going to take 9 episodesHow do people watch this shit man?
>>283117174Is that even true anymore? Last I heard, people have just started going home after their eight hour shift more and more and boomers can only seethe about it.
>>283121414Not in Japan, no.But in the US, yes.
>>283115733I'd rather not watch that slop lmao
>>283113538Haven't watched any in a while but that was the Toei special back in my day 8 minutes is a stretch even
>>283121414I suggested you might pass off casual speech in some offices, and 4channers flipped out and everyone insisted they'd all be fired on the spot. Someone else was seething about a fellow not taking clubs seriously that he'd take it into a full-time hobby and that he owe it to society. I said chill and he+his samefag mobs got really mad.This is the same 4chan that makes up a factoid about Japan being this work-obsessed zone every other week.
>>283113590The last third of Space Brothers is extremely guilty of this.
>>283113538stop watching shounen battle anime OP
>>283113580You're not. You're watching weekly shounen slop. That is literally the only shows that do that.
>>283113538i really miss the first episode being +40 mins, even better when the second episode is also long too, what a fucking treat that was
>>283113538Uchuu kyoudai be like
>>283123190Studios releasing 2 or 3 episodes the first day was never the norm (thing like Kami-sama no memochou or Mushoku Tensei).
>>283113538Openings and endings are 90 seconds each andvnext episodes aren't more than 30 seconds longs
>>283113590>My Hero Academia>opening theme>recap of stuff related to whoever this episode is about>8 minutes of Midoriya crying>flashback to pic related for the 294th time>outro theme>"next time maybe I won't cry and monologue so fucking much" (he will)
>>283123367it wasn't just realising 2 episodes on the same day ala netflix style, the first episode was just that long.when you look at it, 1 episode is barely enough to establish a story especially for a new IP, and skipping the OP/ED doesn't really help.I just remembered that Katanagatari had 12 double length episodes.Made in Abyss pulled a switcheroo where the last episode is the one that's double length. you just know the studio is great when they do it.
>>283113538Sounds like filler arcs on shounenslop.
>>283123660>I just remembered that Katanagatari had 12 double length episodes.Yes, but it also only aired once a month.
>>283113580One piece isn't better anime
>>283121414I work in nipland, it hasn't been true in over a decade. The Japanese were desperate to change the overall perception on their work habits, so the government cracked down hard on businesses overworking their employees, most people go home after their hours are over. Obviously forced overtime still exists, and you're still required to finish your work in 8 hours or spend longer to get it done, but no one (except animators I guess) is staying at work for 16 hours and sleeping under their desks. Nobody's overworking to death in large quantities like foreigners claim they do. Not anymore at least.
>>283113590Because it only happens in shonenshit.
>>283117174>>283125862What about having to go to bars after work? Still a thing?
>>283126327
>>283113538You're just watching shitty shows.
>>283126327if you want, but the younger your coworkers/boss the less of a chance they want to go to bars. I don't mean to generalize all businesses since I've only worked in one place, but a lot of the rumours being spread about Japan's work habits tends to be 'worst-case-scenario' type stuff
>>283113590>All replies are mainstream shonenshitConsider this a sign of your good taste anon.
>>283113590Watch worse anime.
>>283113590One Piece after they stopped doing filler and started stretching one chapter into a whole episode instead.
>>283116871This is sadly true. Some of the episodes toward the end were really just shorts once you skipped all the recaps and longer-than-usual OP and ED. It should have run for like 9 or 10 episodes instead of padding the episodes so fucking much just to fill a whole cour.
>>283113538BLEACH THREDA?BLEACH THREDA!!
>>283126038SoLshit is getting stale after watching 10 different of the same shit
