The modern era of anime sucks because the vast majority of stuff now will never get an ending.Yes, incomplete adaptations have always existed. I know everyone reading this has at least one they can think of that they like come to mind that they personally like and lament its unfinished state.What has changed now is that most anime now are adaptations. Now there are more anime being produced than ever before and very few are original.
It's weird that anime is by all accounts more popular than ever, but no one's willing to commit to a whole series anymore instead of single cours with years between them if they're continued at all.
>>292172702Pic related makes your post even sadder. Anime feels like it can’t tell original stories or be anything else but an adaption of something anymore. Space Dandy still feels like the end of an era.
>>292172836its not weird at all. it makes perfect sense when you consider the material conditions and financial incentives under the production committee model and the japanese economy
>Original anime is dead>But there's dozens of original anime made each year>No, I don't want to watch any of thoseThere I speedran the thread for you
>>292172836>>292172874Yeah, sadly, committees don't care about modest successes or cultivating a fanbase, they want instant mega hits. If it doesn't perform to that, they would rather move on.I don't mind adaptations, plenty I like. Manga, LNs, etc. I like visual media, and things that add to the atmosphere like music and acting.And more and more stuff that I enjoy I have to worry every season that this might be all I get despite plenty left in the source to adapt.>>292172916Anon, have you counted how many original anime there are this season compared? Its like 4. A drop in the pool compared to the amount of stuff in the season.This isn't even a thread complaining about the lack of originals, its complaining that most anime now end up adaptations that won't completed.
>>292172874It really doesn't, it wasn't this way when anime had virtually no audience outside Japan so why did it get worse now that it does?
>>292173014Capitalism. Not that stuff wasn't ever made for profit before, but the production committee system evolved over time to the current model. Like years ago, a show would get made until the plug was pulled because most production started in advance and they wouldn't know right away, which could also result in changes and such made to try and fix the lack of success or such. Then it went through several others.Now, stuff in the current system is ordered in cours for most anime. Committee gives funding, and if they aren't satisfied with the result, they don't renew.And yes, it blows. If you liked something that didn't perform to their liking, it might not get renewed or it might have to wait years.
>>292173052Also, foreign investment is more common too, and they care even less about promoting the source.
>>292173014making as many different anime as physically possible each financial year is what studios need to do to secure enough steady work to pay all their employees while growing, maximizes the amount of IP's they are all but guaranteed more work in the future while avoiding scenarios where one year-round anime is such a vital part of the business model that it ending or getting dropped by the network could cause them a financial crisis. Not to mention unless they got completely screwed by the production comittee, being involved in as many different IP's as possible gives them a slice of as many different merch sale pies as possibleIn the meantime the cost of living keeps going up for everyone. Not to mention every year the overhead costs for keeping a studio running keep going up, and you can only get away with creative accounting for so long before it catches up with you
>>292172702Do you really want to go back to the era of anime original endings?
Incomplete endings have been a thing since the days of original 80s OVAs, newfag
>>292173091I just would like the series I like to get finished. A number of ones I enjoy have had endings by now, but no guarantee that the anime will ever reach them.That said, I miss some of those. Sure, some anime original stuff ended up terrible, but theres also plenty of good anime that diverged from the source.
>>292173131Since, you are illiterate >>292172702>Yes, incomplete adaptations have always existedYou can just actually read instead of skimming
>>292172702Saying this when the majority of anime are sequels is wild.
>>292173160>why does 1+1=3? I know 1+1=2 but...>wtf read the whole thingTry not being retarded
>>292173151Gonzo endings were legendarily bad, though.And Claymore will never get an anime continuation.
What's the stats say on this?
>>292172702if you thought space dandy was any good then you deserve your suicide
>>292173091There are finished manga, not everything is never ending shounenshit.
>nowLMAO. As if the era of 2 episode OVA's and 400 episode monster of the week kids shows was any better at giving satisfying endings
>>292173254Not OP but Space Dandy is fucking peak, you're projecting.
>>292173254>>292173400I'm OP, show was okay. I just like this as a reaction image>>292173262Theres also a lot of finished LNs, stuff that even already has had a season or 2.
