a sports show might be a better model at this point, they get multiple seasons and stay pretty on-track and generally nice-looking all the way through, and depending on the source material have just as many power ups and epic battles as any other shounen

Waffleman_ posted:I wouldn't be surprised if we got a second season next year. I think there's already enough content past the estimated stopping point for at least 12 episodes. There is enough to do 24 episodes easy, I think they just want to space things out so they always have plenty of material ready to cover.

i think shows like Bleach and Naruto have turned people off the idea of filler as a whole, when it definitely can be used well to pad individual episodes or even add mini-arcs. Sailor Moon is a good example and i liked the filler in the 90's HxH too. on a smaller scale, the Stardust Crusaders anime added lots of small original bits that were also good.

Dragonatrix posted:Are there any other than One Piece, Detective Conan and I think maybe Fairy Tail at this point? All the other ones I can think of finished forever ago. Naruto, though it's weird because the Manga has been over for over a year, and they are clearly milking it so as to give time for the boruto spinoff to get going. Kisha is pretty much done, but the zombie franchise (heh) will live on for quite some time.

Ace of Diamond just finished an uninterrupted 126 episode run this year. dunno how that actually turned out though. World Trigger was another long-running shonen at 73 episodes, though i remember hearing it had production issues from the start.

Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V is at just over a hundred episodes and counting, and Pokemon is pretty eternal as well. Dragonball Super may count, too, even if it's relatively young.

I'd consider JoJo a long runner if only for it having over 900 chapters and it'll probably have near a 200 episode count by the time the anime catches up to where it is right now, but the manga being monthly and the anime taking almost two year breaks really helps any Long Run fatigue.

Anybody care to give a summary of what has happened so far. Goku and the gang fight in a tournament to decide which universe is stronger over a bet, because food isn't enough anymore. Vegeta teaches an alt universe saiyan how to go SSJ by not bein a lil bitch. Goku mashed together super saiyan blue and kaioken in order to beat a guy who can freeze time for very short periods of time for unmatchable speed. And, somehow, piccolo is one of the 5 greatest warriors in the universe  they even give an in universe reason for why goku hadn't done it up to this point, which was sorta neat. clips of it are all over youtube if it's all you wanna see. also I am so god drat ready for the rest of this series. I gave it a shot last night, and getting to watch the first 4 episodes at once was a good thing. Deku's got the absolute perfect quirk for a super hero shonen anime protagonist, since he really can't just sit on his laurels with it or it'll gently caress him up yet will also allow him to gently caress basically anyone else up if he tries hard enough.

Countblanc posted:She's actually just mean and petty which you learn in some side comic involving an interview with a woman teacher you'll probably meet next episode. Yeah, she mentions in the first one how she's doing it for fame, and not making enough money back because insurance can't cover all the damage her superpower does. It ends with her destroying the insurance building, iirc.

Yes, I remember that. It does not decrease my desire for a Mt. Lady spinoff. (E:I don't quite remember all of the details, my memory is really, really lovely. But I do remember her being a fame/money-crazed lady who reluctantly uses her Mountainous Posterior to get higher on the charts. She still does good though.)

i hope that thing in the 4koma version where her vaguely tragic backstory of being bounced around from school to school and eventually ending up in hokkaido because she kept accidentally destroying her school makes it to the main series you know assuming she hasn't been completely pancaked

People keep treading near (or in at least one case outright stating) manga spoilers. This is the anime thread, so that doesn't seem particularly considerate to the people experiencing it the first time here.

Wasn't he supposed to be finding a way to go back to being an adult? That's some lovely detecting to go over 800 episodes and still be a little boy.

Also how many cases is he solving per day? 800 eps should be at least a year, even if they spend 5 eps on a single night of crime-solving, right? Is he not growing up at all?
