| Will it ever end? |
| ... And this is the fourth such topic I have seen on this subject. Personally, I could not possibly care less and I do agree with Legendre on the subject. All three of the animes in question are too long, have too many fillers, and none have characters that appeal to me. The only longer series I am interested in are Detective Conan and Gintama. I'll watch them at my pace, when I am in the mood for them. To be completely honest, I am looking forward to endings of those three series mentioned. I hate that these days, the only things that are getting shown on American television are Shonen mediocre animes. This was not the case back in the days of Dragon Ball Z, Outlaw Star and the ever over-exposed Cowboy Beebop. Everyone on here has to admit that there are better, more interesting animes out there than what has been shown in the last couple of years. I'd like to see a return of the variety and quality we had back in the days of Toonami. |

| One Piece still going, and will be for a long time. |

| The only real reason i would want a series to end even if i hate it is just so it can make room for something much better to take its place. Why have one 500 episode plus series when you could have 10 good 50 episode series in its place? |
| All those animes are really good. but you can only drag a series on for so long...its gonna get to the point where noones gonna watch it or they'll get tired of it...and im not talking bout the dedicated fans, were talking bout the majority of the anime world. Plus you cant carry it on too long or you'll run out of ideas and quite possibly make stupid ones. DBZ for example was awesome back in the day, but as it carried on, it got repetitive and soon became dull...it was good when they finally ended it. Cowboy Bebop is a prime example of an awesome series that knew when to end. Though im not particularly fond of the ending... |
| I don't pay attention to bleach anymore, after the aizen arc I stopped watching and reading it. I stopped caring about Naruto awhile ago, I tried getting back into it but the anime really bothers me for some reason but ill read the manga here and there. It should end after the war though they might keep it going for a little bit afterwards since Naruto isn't hokage. As long as they don't drag it out for no reason like bleach it should be fine. One piece which my favorite of the three and my favorite anime and manga will be around for a long time. We only recently passed the halfway mark about 10 chps ago and its taken about 15 years to get here so hopefully it'll take another 15 to finish it. |

| One Piece's theme is kind of like a never ending journey. It barely has any fillers compared to Bleach and Naruto and is the #1 thing in Japan, no questions asked, period. It will be here for a long, long time so no worries for us OP fans. Also, it's very consistent, organized and barely ever has any bad chapters/episodes even after all these years. The characters and plot are so vast that it actually requires another decade to bring together. Also, Fairy Tail is definitely next in line. Bleach is finished and I can see FT overtaking Naruto with it's rapidly growing popularity. I just hope that Mashima doesn't drag it out because of this, Rave didn't need to be insanely long to do what it did. |

| Almost everyone can see Naruto ending after the war. Bleach should have ended after Ichigo lost his powers during Aizen fight. It was horrible seeing that anime go on to only get his powers back. I hated that about Bleach. So something else new will have to replace Naruto Shippuden after it ends. One Piece I hope will still go on for another 2-3 years. Fairy Tail is a good anime with most fan service that's why I mostly watch it but I dropped it from being boring. |

| @Ookami-Kaze: I think that the praise Fairy Tail is getting mostly comes from the manga, not the anime. To be honest as far as I've watched now, the anime adaption isn't very good.. As you've mentioned, the only redeeming factor is the music.. |
Ookami-Kaze said: I think bleach is a lost cause. I think at one point it had potential to be the best of the big three but they started throwing away their side characters or just made them irrelevant. They keep recyling the same pot devices and Ichigo goes around in circles when character development is concerned. Bleach tugged at my emotional strings more than once in it's early years but it just needs to end. I really can't think of a way it could be saved. I couldn't agree more. Such a waste of potential ... |
| I still like them, most especially the one piece I’m still exited to watch it, they [characters] make me laugh... ^_^ |
| "Third.. Detective Conan, Gintama, Toriko, Blue Exorcist, Hunter x Hunter" Lol? Those are kids shows.. Nah Jk I freaking love DC, Gintama & HxH Anyway I read this list and... WHAT THE HELL? I can't believe that Bleach is still ongoing as manga and people are talking about it doing a comeback.. And Naruto sure might end after the war.. But it will be having a 3rd Naruto: Bspuden after this because it's been going on and on and on and on and on and on and on from the manga, fillers, OPs EDs flashbacks recaps etc ================ Naruto VS Sasuke, Naruto will probably have the sages body and Sasuke the uber super rinneshangan eyes after the 10 years time skip.. One Piece actually got better recently... I was kinda happy with that reminds me of Detective Conan, well done OP! (I haven't been watching One Piece too much and I've seen all episodes for Bleach and Naruto.. Yet I can tell how much better it is now, Naruto's current war = bigbigbigbigbig disappointment to me.. Well I guess that's why it would be disappointing to let it end after a fail like that (since it hasn't been too long since OPs war this is extremely bad time for Naruto to come out with crap like this..) Oh and... Naruto Shippuden movie 5: Blood Prison was worst anime movie I have ever seen.. Still amazed with it. |

And anything being considered overrated is a only a matter of whether or not a show is popular, ie, any popular show will be called overrated by someone regardless of length. See: Madoka, Stein;sGate, FLCL. |

Take Bleach for example, it would be a pretty alright series if they cut it down to maybe 50 episodes, however, instead they have filled it with garbage filler episodes and even entire filler seasons and lot and LOTS of pointless side fights. If that series wanted to get to a point it should have done so three years ago. |

No. I've basically just said opinions are like butt holes and what you'd call overrated is no more accurate than what someone else would call overrated. Fit 470+ chapters of a manga into 50 episodes...being reasonable isn't your strong suit. |

| "Nothing gold can stay" :) Well there has got to be one day where your favorite anime stops airing. Same goes for long running animes. They'll eventually turn from gold to rust. But hey, time's still ticking and in the future there's probably going to be new long mainstream animes. What's bound to happen, is bound to happen. |

Anyways, you go ahead and read your Bleach and I'll go find a better use for my time. I wasn't even talking about Bleach. I said compressing 470+ chapters of a manga into an anime is unreasonable, Bleach or no Bleach. It's a pretty damn honest observation anyone can make just from looking at anime and being aware of pacing. At this point it's not about seeing eye to eye but about you not being able to admit how dumb your idea was. |

nebot said: Han-yuu said: Yanoflies said: I just hope One Piece never ends. It's the only one I care about. Well. You're wrong as it will end. One Piece is half done and it was around 550 chapters or something, when they was about to touch red line but then got separated. now they're in new world. I would like to finish all 3 of them before i quit reading manga. Actually, I think it may last longer then you think. Sure they are halfway to the end of the grand line at 550 and entering the new world, but there is an undertone from the inheritors of the "Straw Hat" that getting to the end is only the beginning. Gol D. Roger was sick when he did his journey and wouldn't have been able to do anything with what he found anyways... except inspire a new healthier generation to follow in his footsteps and have the strength to do something once they learn the truth. what's with the necro? |
 |
| They will keep publishing new episodes once every week and new chapters once a week as well, nothing changes. |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| I fucking love Fairy Tail. I don't see it ending any time soon. Bleach will be back considering they probably want to make money off it.....and oh...they will. Isn't Gintama up there now anyway? I don't know because I don't watch that, one piece or naruto. |
| I do reccomend Gintama to all... Even if its not your typical battle shonen its still one of the best anime shows out there.. It just sad it doesnt get the attention it deserves from people outside Japan.. This show manages to make recap episodes better than the originals. Fairy Tail has a lot of potential as well to keep going for quite some time; the setting, the goal and developted characters are all there!!! |
 |
| I hope that when Naruto ends (that's obviously gonna happen real soon) Kishimoto sensei makes another manga that will be as good as Naruto!Same goes for the others I guess! ♥ |

Legendre said: I just don't like anime where I can't see the end. It's frustrating. You watch the end of an arc and think that the anime should end there, and they come back with another one a week later. The only one I keep up with is Naruto and even though I like it, I also wish it would end. If an anime was episodic it would be fine by me if it continued for as long as it had support, but with anime like Naruto and Bleach that have set story arcs, I don't enjoy the never ending aspect at all, especially when I have to deal with shitty filler episodes. Also I have absolutely no idea what will replace these 3, although most people would suggest Fairy Tale. I haven't seen it yet myself though. that's the beauty of it,one piece keeps getting better with each arc and I would be devastated if it ended |

elevenletters said: Adair said: ProdiGene said: Why even bother? Most of those mainstream titles are nothing but over-rated pile of shit full of annoying and unnecessary fillers. Which is why they make so much money, right? -_- Just because you aren't part of the target audience intended for those shows, doesn't mean they are all shit. There's obviously enough people watching them to make them popular. And just because they are popular does not mean they are good. Now, now, stop being conceited. It's popular but it is good. It's just that it's too long that people who got tired of it started to condemn it as a "crappy anime". If you are one of those people who stuck with One Piece by watching it weekly instead of marathoning it from ep1 all the way to ep545 then you're bound to get bored. You see, by watching it weekly you get the most from it because you get to experience cliffhangers, stuff like "there's a dramatic revelation then sudden cut to the ending", etc. As for the other anime, well Naruto for one has turned into complete shit in the manga. It's like fucking DBZ with everyone coming back to life again. Bleach is finally getting exciting again (though this is mostly just due to the fact that Kubo is trying to patch up the remaining questions I had in mind.) And for fairy Tail, let's just say that Mashima is having too much fun drawing nudes and titty grabs. As for the possible replacements for the big three, I have high expectations of Beelzebub and Magi, though from what I'm hearing they say that the anime adaptation of Magi was nowhere as good as the manga. |

| its happening to regular tv series to, theres so many of them companies end one to start another that may be more popular many series get cancelled or end so that another may have its spot. same way with phones people get bored of the one there using in like 3 months, people always want out with the old and in with the new, sometimes the old is only a year old(season old) I suppose money may be a factor |

miereneronaile said: Well yes, most anime large or small don't get a decent conclusion. But it's also my point that there are way more smaller anime out there, so there's more of a chance for finding a shorter anime with a "decent conclusion", not that all shorter anime have a "decent conclusion". It's probably more noticeable with larger anime since there is a smaller number of them. Most short anime each season end with an open ending.IntroverTurtle said: Kruszer said: Haha never, they're the ones that sell the most manga.

I like my anime to be a reasonable length and to have a decent conclusion. I agree that if that is what he considers a 'reasonable length' he is not lacking in those shows, but to suggest that many of those shows got 'decent conclusions' may be a bit much. Way to many shows dont get any conclusion at all because they want to have second seasons /shrug. True, and anime only endings usually crush that chance unless the manga eventually ends and sells well. I do feel happy when an anime that aired years earlier gets a sequel. |
