Depending on whether or not the show catches on, they cut certain parts of the manga out. Usually a lot.
Sometimes they don't expect the show to catch on at all, but still feel the need to waste our time. So they take the manga, cut it all down to one or two seasons, leave out incredibly important plot points, insert filler characters while removing canon ones, and wrap everything up in an awkward and embarrassing fashion that makes everybody ashamed they ever saw it.
However, that doesn't mean they don't milk successful things in Japan. For example, Naruto and One Piece.
A lot of this is very accurate - often times there's issues with time slots due to a show getting pulled because of rating or some other issue - so they fluff up some other show and sell it as comedy or slice or life - it's a sure win in the anime world as the communities eat these shows up. Cuter the better.
But most of the time with shows that have no ending it's because of lack of support for the anime itself - the manga can still have a healthy community and continue on with the story, but the anime may not and may end because of it. An example of this are shows like Spice and Wolf (may change soon), High School DxD, Dears, Dazzle, Dragon Crisis!, and Earl and Fairy.
But then there's unforeseeable circumstances that have broken our hearts, such as the death of creator. A good example of this is Kaze No Stigma.
But then there's the most annoying reason: Anime often tend to draw away from the manga story and go off on it's own plot line. Most of the time - this just ruins the show, leading to people dropping it in disgust. Example of this: Claymore and Rosario Vampire.
And last but not least: Sometimes the anime comes out too early too quickly - catching up to the manga it's pulling it's story from. This leads to an eventual 'stall' that has lead to the creation of 'filler' episodes for popular series - and simple death for not popular ones. Example of this: Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, and D.Grayman. Although Naruto is likely to eventually get an ending, honestly. The other shows? Nope.

I'm watching Rosario Vampire right now and I like it, thanks for the info
I enjoyed Rosario 'enough' to get through it. You can tell they're never going to hook up - just endless fluff. But the manga tells the story a totally different way, and it's much better. Don't ever touch the manga if you want to get through the anime.

What many fail to see is that these Anime coalition members are using top secret bulging shiny anime eye code to debate about how their corps are better than the other. Many don't see this but I do... So basically, this topic is War Room related, but the politics and secret codes behind their posts are too complex for the average viewer. Do not be mistaken, a furious battle is taking place...
Someone can see through our codes!
Aren't Tsundere's the best? Tsundere Loli's have there charm - but a Tsundere Waifu combo has got to be the best. :)

Big miku wrote: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.
o.0 I learned a lot.
