Why must anime be such a giant, flopping tease?

You have the literal tease in your shitty ecchi anime, but I'm talking about anime being a tease in general.

I always ask myself, "Will any of these anime have a satisfying ending?" at the start of every anime series. Most of the time, I come up disappointed. You all know how anime are supposed to lead you deep into manga or other works. If you don't know, well now you do. Anime seems like an offshoot. For those of us who view anime as the "main show," it's rather disappointing. I don't disagree that manga and other works do have better stories than anime original stories, but why must anime suck material from other works? Whatever happened to originality?

Maybe being a tease and never giving any closure is the nature of shit that are shown as a series (most of the time taking plot material from another existing source)? I'm sure I would gripe about those shitty American TV shows if I actually watch them. They have series that run for half a decade or more. That's almost as bad as Naruto, but not as bad as One Piece.

Anime seems like fart right now...loud and awesome, but smelly and vomit-inducing when smelt. Haha.

anime adaptations are mostly advertisements of its source material like an ongoing manga or light novel

that is the reason im mostly watching anime original stories, or if im gonna watch an anime adaptation i usually research if its source material is finish (like the ping pong the animation)

Most manga/light novel endings suck too though. Most of them dont have proper endings. There arent many talented Japanese authors.

I prefer anime that doesn't take itself seriously Haven't watched one in ages though.

I could care less about the ending I think back to all the good moments within the series with that mindset every famous person to ever live was a flopping tease.

manga/light novel is business anyway, if its not selling well it will end immediately even in the middle of the story telling thats one reason i guess

they dont their show to end so they can keep their jobs so a lot of the times they're hoping for more seasons. at least thats what happens with adaptations for the most part. i dont really see that pattern so much in original animes. /shrug it sure sucks tho thats what happens for like 90% of romance animes.

A funny question from the author of Thread #4350 complaining about cliffhanger endings. But the real answer: it didn't sell, and production committees would rather fund safe anime that can tie into manga/LN/game/merchandise sales, rather than risky and experimental original product.

Maybe if you used English I'd understand this comment. If you're objecting to the absence of Death Billiards, go add it to the Wiki page then.

Worst thing ?the manga/light novel is finished but there 0 translation and spoilers for it,so us western anime viewers will nvr ever know the ending of a certain series(looking at you,kamisama no inai and hyouka)

its rare to find original animes with an ending tho since most of them just leaves s1 with an open ending and if sales ain't good enough,it just gets thrown to a corner and is nvr picked up again

Eden of the easy and star driver both had
towa no quon also had
,also darker than black and sword of the stranger
but that's not saying the anime or it's ending was bad,I am just saying,it's rare to find animes which has a totally concluded ending since most of them leaves open endings so that they can make a sequel in the future even if the chance of making a sequel is rare.

i can hardly call those endings unfinished because most of the plot holes are already resolved, those are just open endings unlike anime that base on ongoing source material (light novel/manga) like Accel World or Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere where in the story is really unfinished and leaves a lot of questions

Well at least for the mangas i think it has something to do with the authors being force to finished them because readers dropped or with the author losing his spirit after drawing for years the same story and just want to finish.
That is why the best thing to do is have a full story in your head with the end and absolutely refuse to change the story(you can put some filling but nothing that will change the basic course) because the publisher wants you to.

Yea that's the point,the plot may be resolved but the unfinished romances and open endings really leaves a bad taste in my mouth,like after I spent so much time watching a show and researching it,I still can't get a proper resolved ending without me wanting to know the ans if a character died or if they got tgt.Its kind of like reading a song of ice and fire and nvr getting the ending because grrm died before he could complete it or reading h(iatus)xh(iatus) just for it to go on another hiatus after a few month or getting blue balls /rant.Yea having an adaption like horizon not getting a continuation even after great sales is really frustrating but at lest with the source material,I am able to continue the story but with original animes/open ended source material,I gotta wait till the studio decides to either release an ova or a sequel some of which nvr happens cause the sales aren't high enough ,again sry for the rant

"if you wanna see/read more, go buy the source material!"

seems like a legit marketing strategy to me. sometimes its just because they run out of money to animate more though.

Ingenious. Man, why didn't anyone ever thought of that before.

In general, it's just that there is no pleasing anyone. Not everyone wants to see all characters marry each other in the end or die. It is about how you let go of the story and there is no set rule in what's the absolute best way. It just depends.
