| I personally don't think it's specific to Japanese media. I my opinion, a lot of medias from other country have the same slow at the start fast at the end structure. Is it bad or not, well it as it's quality and flaws but in my opinion, it all depends on the context of the story and the execution. |
deg said: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo-ha-ky%C5%AB is a concept of modulation and movement applied in a wide variety of traditional Japanese arts. Roughly translated to "beginning, break, rapid", it essentially means that all actions or efforts should begin slowly, speed up, and then end swiftly. to those that are wondering why most anime have pacing issues its because of this so do you like it? i personally came to accept it since thats how the Japanese Arts way of doing things anyway It all boils down to bad directing. A good Director should be able to have the foresight to balance this out better. With Anime it's difficult because there is still a budget and time constraints so redoing anything is extremely costly as well as time consuming when it comes to redoing anything from scratch. So it's convenient to just call it a traditional Japanese art form. Regardless of this being a Japanese art form. I have talked with several people before who worked on western animation projects before and they have all told me that usually slow beginnings and rushed endings are due to several factors which all boils down to bad direction to begin with. |

| Fast endings are not necessarily a bad thing if it can resolve all the main plot points in a satisfactory manner. If on the other major plot threads are left hanging, or worse, missed then to me this means the ending was poorly written. Looking at the format as a whole, I feel it can work provided one is mindful of not being overly ambitious with the beginning and middle arcs. I have seen anime try to overly complicate the premise but then end up having trouble wrapping things up or addressing earlier points raised in the series. The best recent example I can give is Sonny Boy which introduced a lot of interesting concepts but largely abandoned them come the seasons end. If you are going to write a quick ending then sometimes less is more because a more simple or concise story allows the writer to focus and concentrate in addressing all points at the end. So in short I don't think this style is necessarily a bad thing but if you follow this process then careful consideration needs to be made for each arc so the flow is seamless and doesn't detract from the overall impression of the story. But I would say that since anime is a creative form of expression I don't think it should be necessary to strictly adhere to any particular style of storytelling. Also if you consider the long-term shounen series like Naruto, Bleach etc. they definitely don't follow this style of quick ending! |
| It worked well for Evangelion, but 99% of the time it's the main reason why endings are bad. |

| oh, so this is the reason I hate japanese movies. I have a better explanation. EYE CATCH the first 5 minutes of the movie, it's meant to hook you for the rest of the runtime, waiting for the cool thing to happen again. it's a teaser basically. BOREDOM a roughly 1 hour 30 minutes long segment, which tells a story that may be loosely related to the eye catch, but doesn't serve a real purpose. it's padding. (in most cases you can tell by the characters feeling conflicted, not wanting to do what must be done.) CLIMAX you'll see the most mind blowing action and choreography, previously unknown to mankind. this is the selling point, the one scene the complete movie was built around. it lasts for 10 to 20 minutes, erasing all the vague memories you might still possess about the plot (unless you fell asleep during the boredom segment. don't worry, the loud noises will wake you up so you won't miss the crazy action) |
