The anime/manga cycle>new anime/manga with an interesting premise or world comes out>the main characters and narrative aren't interesting so people instinctively look elsewhere for substance and engagement, like side characters and background lore>they find nothing there either, and one of two things happen; they abandon the series, or make up their own headcanons>the latter half copes until the series either destroys their headcanons one by one or ends>they finally deduce that the series sucks and the author is a hack, years after everyone else realized this
