You're objectively wrong about most anime ending in 2 or 3 seasons, that is only the stuff we in the west are interested in, the stuff that fansubbers sub.
Cartoons in America are largely controlled by toy makers, If the show moves merch, it will go on forever, if it don't then it ends.
Anime in Japan is largely marketed towards children and otaku, a vast majority of anime is aimed at kids. Wheres manga is far more accepted, anime is seen as childish.
Off the top of my head, some of the longest running and most popular anime of all time are Anpnman, Doraemon, ojarumaru, Kirin no monoshiri yakata and maruko-chan all of which have 1000+ episodes and are clearly children's cartoons.
Anime like Eva, Gits, Monster, Eden of the East, Time of Eve ect ect, stuff not aimed at children are really niche stuff.
For instance, your average anime BD gets about 2k sells where Detective Conan merch flies off the shelves.
Of course there are exceptions, shows like The Cure series that have a decent following around anime fans in the west despite being a show obviously aimed at little girls.
Cure Sunshine is best Cure.
I'm just going of on tangents but..
A lot of Anime adaptions of manga/light novels, Claymore, Berserk Original TV, Hellsing Original TV, Boogiebop, Trigun, First Full Metal Alchemist TV, Full Metal Panic, ect ect seemingly go off on their own plot lines because the source materiel has in fact run out. The Show caught up with the Manga or in many cases Light Novel and the contract with the studio dictated that it must end, so they just make up an ending.
Many recent Anime are adaptions of Light Novels and not manga.
Sword Art Online is trash, Log Horizon is best. |

A manga you nerds should be readin is onepunch-man, Its about a part time hero who defeats everything with one punch.
It was originally a Web comic by an Artist named "One", a very very poorly drawn series, Then the artist of Eyeshield 21, Yusuke Murata, Started redrawing the web comic in is awesome Art style and now it is simply amazing.
Also check out the Monster manga
and MPD Psycho and Fraken Fran and I am Hero and voynich hotel
Man I'm following a lot of manga. |
