| just read le mangao :^)))) spring 2018 had a historically high number of sequels, and i feel last years had more sequels than usual......does this feel like a resurgence? also, all those anime u mention sound like the kind who were more popular outside japan than inside.. very rarely such anime get any kind of sequel (trigun :D) why havent you bought 10000 japanese dvds??? thats how u encourage creator for sequels |

| And the obligatory 'anime is mainly adverts for the source' so if it has served that purpose then more seasons aren't needed HOWEVER, recently a lot of shows are getting reboots and sequels but it's unpredictable and so you just gotta pray and hope. |

| I mean, it's been feeling like lately lots of older series have been coming back after long hiatuses. Fruits Basket remake, sequels to Magical Index, Chihayafuru, ReLIFE, and Full metal Panic, complete adaptations of older material like Banana Fish, Parasyte, and of course Jojo's. And that's not even including announced but unscheduled seasons like Scientific Railgun, Teen Romantic Comedy, Re:Zero, and Knights of Sidonia. I know it's not a full resurgence and there's a lot of unfinished series out there, but it feels like recently, there has been more of a concerted effort to continue past stories, and while it's definitely more continue the stories of the last 10 years as opposed to some of the all-time classics, I think the fact that there are adaptations coming out like that is an encouraging sign. |

| It's nothing compared to anime original that doesn't have a proper ending, for example Darker than Black and Darker than Black ... Just read the f****ng mangas.. Most of the times, original sources are far better than anime adaptation ... |

Do you realise that anime and manga are two separate and different media or did you bump your head too many times when you were a toddler?Just read the f****ng mangas.. Most of the times, original sources are far better than anime adaptation ... Then again, the death note avatar really gives it away, I guess. Forget I asked. They are the same story as long as the anime still followed the manga.. And if you have watched enough animes, you will realize that if you want to know how the story continues you must read the sources because many times people in anime industry don't bother to adapt your favorite franchise completely (especially if your favorite anime is not successful in the market) ... |

| Welcome to anime, the medium of unfinished commercials for the source material. I recommend learning to enjoy the journey and not caring about getting a conclusion or not. It's the best way to enjoy anime. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| i think getting into anime you have to somewhat settle for less in a lot of ways. you may start your favourite series one day knowing it's never going to have the ending, and maybe not even the half way point animated. i came to terms with that kinda quickly though and began to enjoy the stories i got to experience. a lot of western shows i liked suffered from the opposite where they dragged it out endlessly and didn't know when to stop so it was easy to swallow. |

| I'm surprised that nobody in this thread has mentioned Panty and Stocking yet. That show ended on the most ludicrous cliffhanger I've ever seen, and there's no manga to continue the story. They totally banked on there being a second season, and there never was one. I don't think a revival is impossible, since the show has a pretty big cult following, but I wouldn't bet on it. At least we have the fan-made sequel manga. |

It was made by the actual producers (Imaishi, Wakabayashi, Nishigori and Koyama) https://m.imgur.com/a/rFpaa I actually had no idea this existed. I was referring to another one that was fan-made, I can't remember what it's called or who made it though. |

| regardless if they are different media/spectrum/etc. it is true that most anime serves to advertise the manga. if it is/was really popular and is/was a cash cow at the same time then it can get more adaptations. the studio/producers also play a role in it too. for example, space cobra has had like 3 other adaptations since 1982, and indeed it was popular, but it was not the most popular thing from around that time |
