Is it weird to pretend an episode, ending or even a sequel didn't happen to a show you loved if you felt it didn't live up to what you expected, or greatly disappointed you?

Speaking of shows that have been going on forever, has there been any indication that the Detective Conan manga is anywhere near reaching a conclusion at this point (I know the anime is currently approaching 700 episodes currently)? Then again, the One Piece anime is close to 1000 at present.

Approaching 700? It's already over 1000.

No but as I get across with my Hyouka suggestion earlier I think there exists anime that end up as being better adaptions of the spirit of Sherlock Holmes stories by not actually adapting the stories than the actual adaptions themselves. Umineko (its been a while so I only have a vague recollection) has a lot of focus on the truth of statements, and evidence and so on which I think is pretty in keeping with the spirit of Sherlock Holmes and the mystery genre.

Vs some anime which just have the characters wearing the outfit going on an adventure and there isn't really much of an actual mystery challenging to the viewer to try to solve it themselves.

This sounds like you're arguing the entire mystery genre is a Sherlock Holmes adaptation.

What I value most out of a sports narrative is the ability to meaningfully and unpredictably lose. People aren't fighting to the death here, so take advantage of it. I like Haikyuu but one of its biggest weaknesses is how rote its plot progression is. Do well in a tournament, lose at the very last second to your big rival, and then come back and beat them next time. S4 was pretty lackluster in part because it had to continue past all that, and set up all these new teams at nationals we have to pretend are threats before we beat them first try anyway, because the story can't end with us dropping out in round 2 of the whole thing.

I can't speak to the others, but it's a Chinese superstition. Though equating 4 and death is also imported from the Chinese language

I don't think tying your opinions to those of a dozen strangers on a public forum is healthy either op. You know how we dog on grouchio for parroting youtuber opinions like they're his own? You're basically asking to do that for chat thread posters. Like what if the thread said no it's not okay? Would you stop liking some series you liked? No, you'd probably just feel worse about yourself.
