4. why haven't gundams been made yet?
7. Why is their not more real mecha

These two questions are very related.

There are a few reasons, the major one is that gundams are very cost prohibative. Full-body actuated armor, or even an exoskeleton have been, at best, in experimental stages (http://www.raytheon.com/newsroom/technology/rtn08_exoskeleton/#). There is always a question of the self-contained energy system and cost.

To create either a transforming jet (like in Macross Zero) or even a Gundam would billions of dollars just for one because of the addition of high tech. actuators to allow for movement or transformations.

IMO, what we are watching are just machines in an imaginary world breaking a lot of laws of physics to work. Personally, I'm still waiting for flying cars. ;)

If you mean in length I think it's Hajime no Ippo with currently 871 manga chapters released.

Why do drawings change per season? I always wondered about that. Like Minami-Ke or Ichigo Mashimaro.


Let me ask another question to go along with this. Why do drawings change every few episodes? (lets say for 3 episodes the drawing style looks one way, while in the next 3 are so episodes take a diffrent style) This is the case with Neon Genesis Evangelion. Or in the case of Eureka seveN, almost every episode. I hope sombody knows what I am talking about.

You're probably imagining it in most cases. At any rate it can be explained by the simple fact that robots don't draw for anime, yet.

Well it's published in Cookie, a shojo anthology, and that's all that matters.


on Mal it's marked as Josei, and since when does a publisher dictate genre?

Last half of FMA anime >>>>>>>> first half of FMA anime.

Better question: why don't anime makers realize that they're going to run out of source material and take the daring step of actually changing the story before the last two episodes so that the ending naturally flows from the story?

Didn't read inbetween the 25 pages, so not sure if this was questioned, but:

Why do those super ecchi animes have girls with gigantic breasts even though they're not realistic, and they're so big that it's just.. disturbing?

Because a certain public has an unsolved complex and needs them to feel better.

It's very much a genre not for everyone but try scrolling through Reviews made to it and you should see a surprisingly large amount of 9's and 10's that tries to explain why they scored it so high. It's mostly because it's so wicked/mind-screwing and different from all others. I loved it as well.

Finally some decent answers to that question even I did not take it seriously at all. Well, its a stupid question and so I expect people give equally stupid answers but I liked these answers more than the others because I quite agree with them.

Further rant on School Days(Don't read it if you are a SD fan):



Back to topic, which one of these will come sooner? Doomsday or the last episode of Bleach, One Piece, Naruto and Sazae-san?


I'd say Doomsday. Those series seem like they'd never end, esp Naruto and Bleach (can't comment on OP and Sazae since I don't watch them).

The manga picks up where the anime is left off. They're only showing a partial of the manga material. If you want to find out what happens next, read the manga.

I know that.

My point is, given the extensive material each of them(with the exception of Ghost hunt) had, they could've all continued with the anime.

I don't see how the demand isn't/wasn't there. Nana had two live action movies made in addition to the (as far as I know still running manga), Beck will soon have a live action movie in addition to the manga that ran until mid '08, Tenjou had ova's + is still running, Ouran has 50k+ fans on MAL alone + ongoing manga, Paradise Kiss only had 12 eps...but still massed nearly 20k fans on MAL(whereas the manga only has about 5k).


I mean realistically, they all had/have a huge fanbase....and plenty of material to continue with. I don't see how any of them (aside from Ghost hunt) would've/could've been considered "unnecessary money wastage". not to mention...almost all of the series I mentioned simply are not done justice in manga (imo).

Beck/Nana - the music?
Tenjou/Air gear - the animated action?
Paradise - the color/vibrance?

C'mon now, in a world in which Naruto has two shows of 100+ episodes....wtf?

It also depends on the production crew. Perhaps they weren't interested in continuing with the animation due to certain reasons of their own. As for Naruto it's overrated but since it's no doubt one of the (apart from Bleach and One Piece) most popular anime right now, the company will be in serious shit if they drop the anime.
