I totally agree. It does make me sad. But it also doesn't drag stories and character along like a dead horse. Even filler shows are given their time to shine and allowed to end at their peak. Who wants to see an awesome show degrade into merely good then okay then maybe even bad. This is the way I feel about longer series like Naruto or Bleach. When they are fresh, the characters have room to develop and the plot has direction. But later it gets lost in filler or caught up in side ideas and loses it's true meaning.
So short form. Yes. Most anime are short and it makes me both sad and happy. (Plus if the anime sucks you usually don't waste to much time on it, even if you do force yourself to finish it ;P)

Higurashi was one of the only animes that actually made me cringe slightly when seeing some of the characters get murdered brutally and a few scenes from school days.PoisonUnagi said:
Yes .. though not all shows. Spice and Wolf (Ookami to Koushinryo) is the single best manga/anime series of the last 15 years. Watch it. Do it now. DO IT GODDAMNIT!!! >.<
It has well written characters, *BRILLIANT* plots and truly heartfelt human drama.
Another *wonderful* anime/manga is Planetes ... realistic science fiction set in the not so distant future about space debris, trade, terrorism, social commentary (With remarkeably good allegories to the UN and US in particular), and generally nice and authentic human interraction.
With a good shot of comedy in both.

Oh man, and you are watching Azumanga Daioh? Man, I cried at the end because I realized my virtual friendship was about to end.Lem0nade Inlay said:
Well, okay, maybe not THAT much. But still, a very attachable group of characters indeed. Try watching terrible long form anime, it'll help you out! You'll get so sick of Naruto or Goku, you'll be SO GLAD to find a good stopping point and not watch anymore.
The problem with most animes and mangas that go that long is that they drop in quality greatly(Ie Bleach, Naruto has stayed true, while not as good as when it started it is still good). Not to mention the large amounts of fillers in them that are even worse quality then what the mangas sometimes create.Aby_Z said:
OT: Yes, I always get sad when a good anime finishes however I am glad if they end it before getting desperate to make it longer. (IE Deathnote) Good animes are ones like Rounin Kenshin (spelled that wrong most likely.) Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan, Hellsing OVA (Only eight AWESOME episodes so far.) Gundam Wing, and others. Rule of thumb for most anime is generally the sub will have higher quality voice actors. However most of those throw that logic out the window. (I love Alucard (Hellsing OVA) in the dub, as well as Kamina in TTGL)For a good tearjerker and damn good action anime check out Wolfs Reign. <3 Trigun isn't a bad action anime either. (Though I admit I have not seen it all yet.)
I'll simply put it like this: remember that all good things must come to an end. I'm playing ME2 right now (somewhat unrelated I know, but let me finish), and with this recent announcement of ME3 release in approximately a year, I'm eager to see how everything to finally end.
So try that. As you're watching whatever show, look forward to how the writers tie everything up so that the ending (hopefully) rounds up the show into a nice, convenient package.

That's a bit of an unfair comparison, I think. Nu is essentially an android, so her voice being so flat is suppose to reflect how she has no emotion (except when Ragna is around). Okay, sure, her voice probably has about much difference in tone as the Midwest plains have hills, but the fact remains that she's supposed to sound like that.Shadow-Phoenix said:
Same. Most of all was probably the nail-tearing scene... vzz. Not nice. That's one of two media sequences where I actually looked away a bit... the other one was the eye-gouging scene in 28 Weeks Later.Shadow-Phoenix said:
I was really into Bleach and Naruto but eventually while watching One piece i could no longer watch the other two mainly because of the ammount of fillers and thus i decided to stay only with one piece because the theme of pirates vs the government seemed more illusive to me.zama174 said:
I dont feel sad exactly just a little unfulfilled. Kind of like making a good friend then not seeing them again. The entire dragonball series from the original to GT was sort of fulfilling because we see Goku growing up & the family & friends he's made.
My personal favourite is Ghost in the shell: Stand alone complex & I do feel like seeing more even after the ordeal is over, so in a sense I can understand where your coming from.

I have the opposite problem.
I have never seen an Anime where I find the characters remotely likable or any that I can form an attachment to.

I have the same problem so what I have done is I have a game like wow standing by once I finish something complicated that will not just End for a while.
I fully agree with this sentiment, and BTW, i was depressed for a whole day after finishing Azumanga Daioh for the first time (last episode makes u wanna cry, but remains hilarious).
But i don't see this as a "problem", i think it shows how much better quality the good anime shows out there are than some of the good western shows and movies. Also, a show that attempts to form attachment between viewers and the characters, is more successful if done for a limited amount of episodes.
But this isn't true of all Anime, the infamous 80-episodes of filler in Naruto proves this. On the other hand, One Piece recently passed 600 chapters, and i know that even if it goes on for 400 more, i will be very sad to leave the characters once it ends (Quantity doesn't necessarily mean loss in quality, but it is definitely a challenge to keep the quality going).
