Dio Brando 5,810 Posted May 17, 2014 Y'know,that moment when you watch the last episode of anime,only for the anime to end on a cliffhanger,never continued in a second season but the original manga of it is still going I've encountered this kind of ending with three animes that I really really really loved. Berserk D.Gray Man And Pandora Hearts I really really really loved those three animes and it pissed me off so much when I reach the last episode,only to end on a cliffhanger with no announcements for a second season whatsoever And that's so apparent in D.Gray Man.The show lasted for 103 episodes,which means it was successful enough to be a long running series yet they decided to stop it at a cliffhanger Sure I can continue those three by reading the manga and I might do that in the near future,but it's so satisfying and more entertaining when you watch it being animated...sure Berserk got two movies after the end of the original series but from what I asked people about it's just the original series with a retconned ending that doesn't continue from where the manga continued I'm sure someone here encountered the same situation as mine and I'd love to see how it went for you guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shulk 8,623 Posted May 17, 2014 Sword Art Online, although they're making up for that with season 2. Also, Soul Eater did, but not in the sense of cliffhangers... More like "Lazy ending, go read the manga or something." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well SAO was successful enough to warrant a second season especially with the merchandise and video games they can milk the IP with I haven't seen the ending of Soul Eater yet(I'm at episode 20 as of now),but why did they bother with the spin-off piece of crap that is Soul Eater NOT is beyond me(I've watched the first four episode and rage quitted immediately) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cricket 1,180 Posted May 17, 2014 I used to do that a lot, when I read watched a lot of anime, haha. now, I just kinda stick to mangas haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firaga 5,947 Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Deadman Wonderland. The anime is 12 episodes long and has a lot of cut content in it of itself even when it only covers the first 21 chapters of the series AND it has different plot elements AND a redone and ambigious ending. Fffffffffffiddlesticks. but why did they bother with the spin-off piece of crap that is Soul Eater NOT is beyond me(I've watched the first four episode and rage quitted immediately) You, sir, have no soul at all.

Fffffffffffiddlesticks. You, sir, have no soul at all. Well,turning a gothic-halloweeny styled Shonen action anime into a slice of life about three girls with the typical Kawaii deso character design in which they even redesigned MAKKA herself to like every other generic slice of life anime girl(seriously the only oen who still looks like a Soul Eater character is Soul himself).......guess how I'd feel about that as a fan of the original Soul Eater Edited May 17, 2014 by Red Tribal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jilly Shears 2,144 Posted May 17, 2014 Never actually watched Deadman Wonderland, but I know that's a common complaint with how they did the animated adaptation. I know they did something similar in Cromartie High School where they explicitly said you had to read the manga to learn about some characters' backstories, but I'm pretty sure that was for comedic effect. lol 1 Ghost reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not taking it way too seriously,but it's such a drastic change from what is known as a high action shonen with a unique art style.Cuz let me tell you Soul Eater NOT looks like every single Slice of life anime that came out ever since 2007 up to this point.Though I hope it's not canon to the original Soul Eater and just a spin-off on the side Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alicia Maddox 2,141 Posted May 17, 2014 Ouran Highschool Host Club. The series ran for 26 episodes. While I thought that the ending was decent enough, it still felt rushed to me. The ending left me wanting to see more. The manga itself ran for a grand total of 83+ chapters. There was so much more they could have done with the series had they continued. I miss my Host Club. 1 Dio Brando reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolf on the Run 391 Posted May 17, 2014 Rave Master it made it to 51 episodes staying relatively true to its manga minus a few bloody scenes or so on but the anime ended on its 51st episode just as the true story of the series was about to get started i always wish that someday the series will get an anime revival from the very first episode and follow its manga all the way to the end that manga has one of the greatest stories ever told it needs to be animated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So what if its slice of life? It's a prequel series that's telling us about a brand new part of the SE world while throwing in the origins of other characters we've come to know and love in the original series. The new character aren't that bad either. Sure, it's drawn in that artstyle you mentioned, but it's the original style the series was originally going for. The manga artist only changed the style in the manga for what it's known for because people were jizzing all over the anime. Aside from that, there's a lot more going on in this then you think there is. Don't believe me? Try actually watching the show for more than one episode. It's far from generic too. This is Soul Eater after all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously all three girls falls into the same freakin arcitype(sorry for wrong spelling btw) that I've seen in hundreds of slice of life animes,a girl with a crush on someone from her school,the dumb girl with big boobs and lastly the much more expert girl of the group,and I've already seen better animes when it comes to this genre why couldn't it be a prequel about other old miesters and their weapons telling their stories and how the academy was established....etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still, I suggest you stop riding the dick of the original story so that you are able to enjoy this new take on the series. Yes, it has the girly slice of life expert but a) If I'm able to enjoy it (look at me, I'm a hardcore shonen fan you dingus, and HELL, I was AGAINST this whole idea i in the first place, I wanted a damned reboot of the original series) then you might be able to as well, with some time and b) like I said it ALSO tells events that happened before the start of the original series as well as some background for the original cast, an actual telling of what its like to be a DWMA student, AND even some new stuff we didn't know about. If you can take it for that, then great, but if you can't, go sit in the corner with all the anti-NOT fans. No seriously, go sit in the corner. Chop chop.
