sometimes they only have enough manga to run only 13 or 26 eps like School Rumble.
sometimes theres no money to run a second season, they cancel or soemthing.
sometimes they don't know how well it would be received so they only schedule 13 eps

Naruto and Inuyasha and remember Ranma? have enough popularity and enough manga to run for more than a season.

I guess my real question is: after shows as popular as Air and Mai Hime (and other short ones that escape me), why don't they make more? I mean it would seem to me that the six billion Gundam episodes aren't based off of mangas.

take a look at detective conan.. 400+ eps. are all those based off of mangas? i've watched a few episodes, but is it really that good for such a long series..

The Rorouni Kenshin anime caught up to the manga and then they released this long original filler story which most people hated. The manga was way better than the quality of those stupid fillers.

Most anime are 13 to 26 episodes due to the length of the manga. Unlike western comics that go on forever, most manga has a beginning and end (so do eastern tv shows for that matter). Not to say there aren't some that continue forever until the public tires of it (dragonball for one manga which was dubbed drag on ball). Sometimes the manga is more popular than the anime so the anime gets canceled while the manga continues.

bleach - the intro for the 8th squad captain was just awesome. i keep watching until he says hajimemasite (the music is great). best intro for a captain yet....

Has anyone else watched Souse No Aquarion? I'm thinking about starting it up, but wanted a few opinions before I did.

EDIT: Just started GSD 35, and all I have to say is :Q at Ep 34.

36 and 37 have been pretty weak if you ask me. Although the rose petal thing was funny. Nanao seems like an ice queen.

It's weak because they're slowing down a loooooot... they around chapter 106 in the manga. If they were going to slow down this much I wish they wouldn't have skipped some stuff in the previous episodes back when they were in the normal world... :(

i definitely agree, but it was the best intro music for a captain yet. hahahaha

i really hope there's no filler

Damn Bleach... I knew this would happen... Now that they've followed chad their gonna follow the other guy and girl (Inoue) (dont know their names cause they've gotten no screen time in ages). But damn I want to see the fight between Ichigo and the captain. I also wish the usual outlets for Bleach manga would fricken post their bleach manga. (older stuff, I want to read ahead)

But it looks like the next ep has ichigo and kenpachi in it.

lol, ya, eerily, yet funny. it was almost like a mime duel.

btw: i dunno if it's too much to ask, but maybe recommend if somebody does know the answer, just ask for a PM.

side note: I guess nobody really cares about Spoiler Alert's :eek:

lol me likes kaicho-san, and them two really get it on in the end :eek: ultimately i would take midori-chan over both tho :D

finally i got myself to sit down and watch the last eps of ichigo 100%. i knew they werent gonna have a strong finish for a 12eps series, but the ending was thoroughly meh. overall, i loved noto mamiko performance, perhaps one of her most fitting character role ever. i would say 3stars for the series, it was worth watching all in all.

futakoi alternative takes the lead in my little anime preference list, eps12 was the bomb! :D the only thing about the series tho, i am not sure how many episodes they have left... makes me shudder at the thought the series might end at any moment :(
