Why is Japan so fucking shit at endings

Mostly because mangaka and manga publishers don't plan for proper endings, as the goal is just to publish chapters month by month as long as the popularity is good enough. Then when it's not popular enough anymore, the publisher just says "fuck you, mangaka, your series has shit ratings now so we'll give you 4 chapters to end it and fuck off".

Harry Potter ended though, everything else is just people making fan fiction about how much they want to be wizards

why is this allowed?

It's just the way of the business. Why spend time and effort letting the author wind his series down when it can be replaced with some new hot shit?

Wait when did Tomochan end?

Few days ago

yeah, bit still

yeah milking Dragonball, One Piece, and Naruto forever is so much better

>no conclusion of the subplots

What subplots? Both Carol's and Misuzu's arcs were resolved.

it was more about the journey, and being able to enjoy a story were the tomboy wins the mc. it was never about being some great story with an amazing ending

jesus christ this guy...

F-fuck... you've won this round.

Not to excuse Fumita's rushed ending, but at least it didn't end with Misuzu x Jun or a neverending hiatus.

>whataboutism
even the whataboutism barely works here, when Murrikan capeshit heroes like superman or batman have been milked for 80 years

Godzilla has been milked since the 50s and Ultraman since the 60s too.

>rushed ending

I would consider it a dragged-out ending.

The natural conclusion would have been the mutual confession, but then it just kept going until it needed a second ending shortly after.

All endings are shit. Even LotR ending is just a generic everyone lives happy end.
Face it, humanity just can't write a good ending.

I really think that manga artists must pair with a writer for a better story. But Japan editorials are mostly jewish machines and the less they pay for something the better.

Lotr ending is fantastic
>My friends, you bow to no one

>literally no one dies, everyone are happy
Signs of a shit ending

Innocent people died in the Shire, user.

Grow the fuck up.

That's how I felt about Hi-Score Girl's ending. Then I started to think about it, and I thought "you know, the entire anime could have done something different..." So write my own thoughts.

He starts going to the arcades with Akira, they go through their childhood adventures together, have the runaway BEFORE she gets sent to LA with LA as the consequences of her actions, until she moves away to LA. And that's it. Akira is gone. She never moves back. Hidaka enters into the picture and she slowly breaks down his barriers and gets him to stop focusing completely on games while she gets into games herself, and they basically learn and grow together. She learns to become a fun loving person, and he learns to let go of stupid goals like needing to beat someone, he learns that there's more to life than fucking video games. At the end of the series, he finally works up his courage and he tells Hidaka how he feels, and just LEAVE IT AT THAT. You don't need to go any further, they go off to college together, and it all wraps up in a nice story. Akira was someone who he loved as a child and he wanted to save her, but that's what it was a childhood crush that never went anywhere because of circumstances -- There's STILL a Hi-Score Girl (Hidaka) who has replaced the original (Akira)

>hobbits
>people

One Piece didn't even end it's main story yet, it's not milked like the other 2.

Say that again if we get a confirmed sequel about Luffy's daughter

When does the final tank ship?

Sad endings are the easiest to write because dumbasses like you think they are "deep".

I'd rather have happy ends over the Japs' obsession with inconclusive, vague and/or MUH BITTERSWEET shit.

Yes, fucking yes, thank you.

Best end.

The reason for unsatisfying endings is that they plan their stories to continue for as long as they sell, and when they finally get axed they just quickly come up with something approximating an ending. It's not like they're obsessed with them, it's just the nature of magazine serializations.

And yet, Peter Jackson would not include that in his movie because he didn't want hobbits to be seen as the vengeful nasty little fæ-kin that they are. Tolkien got the inspiration for hobbits from a book of fæ. Gollum was right, hobbits are dirty nasty little tricksters.

user, are you lying? I haven't read the HSG manga, but in the anime, Akira does return, and quickly enough.

It wasn't included because the books are so massive he absolutely had to cut a lot of content. The director's cut versions are 4 hours each and it's still not even close enough to fit everything. The hobbits didn't kill him, they just exiled him from the Shire. It was Wormtongue who cut his throat.

No, I am not lying. In second year high school the Oono Zaibatsu decide to supervise the remainder of Akira's education so that they can keep firm control over her future. So her parents (who are living in LA) send for her. She uses her sister to return the plastic ring, and Harou gives up, he couldn't beat Akira so he thinks he's unworthy, until a heartbroken Hidaka hears his reason for not going to see her, and tells him to grow the fuck up and stop being a retard and tell her he fucking cares about her. So he rides to the airport, and something fucking magical that doesn't make any sense happens involving the mentors, so the plane has to land temporarily. While Akira's in the airport he runs up to her, all beaten up and shit, and tells her he loves her FINALLY. Then he gives her the plastic ring again, and tells her that he'll get a passport and come find her again, and that he can't let it end, he will fight for her if he has to. Then she gets on the plane and leaves. Bittersweet bullshit with no conclusion.

>All endings are shit.
no, you. Take BRAVEHEART. It's nothing without gibson dying yelling freeedom from the top of his lungs. KINO.

Because most authors don't plan ahead, they just try to survive in whatever magazine they are in.

Even with a plan, it's hard to stay on track when you work on something for years. You add, remove and change things

Braveheart was fucking shit

no, it's mel gibson KINO.

I don't believe you. But I'll read the manga to see for myself that you are lying. Was that your plan all along? To make me read the manga?

Ruthless capitalism strategy: law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. Applied to manga publishing, it's basically:
- there are thousands and thousands of mangaka wannabee, just pick a lot of them to flood the market
- pick the popular ones amongst the hundreds of shit stories
- cull the rest mercilessly
- make an industry out of it

What the fuck are you on? Braveheart's ending isn't about the fact that Mel Gibson died, it's that his death finally galvanized the Scots to stand up and fight for their freedom. And it was this push that allowed them to repel the British at last and gain their freedom. Him yelling freedom at the end was the catalyst, the push for the ACTUAL ENDING.

I wish I hadn't, I wish I'd just not even heard of this series. The ending left me upset.

>Everyone is shit at endings and Tomo is the manga equivalent of tic tacs
fpbp
/thread

Mel Gibson haven't made a single good movie(except Apocalypto).

I'm pretty sure Fumita ran out of steam with Tomo and struggled to find a way to end it. The way he talked on twitter and the constant hiatuses during the final volume really gave that impression.

He also mentioned that he just wants to go back to drawing porn. Can't wait.

It's not just the ending, 50% of Tomo was shitty.

That seems to be the way of it with most anime, ESPECIALLY shonen. Just keep running until the money stops coming, THEN you get to end it.

Bleach, Dragon Ball and Naruto are perfect examples. After they concluded the elements that made sense to the series, they kept going and it became more nonsensical. Like Quincy who have their own special transformations comparable to bankai and become inhuman monsters.

Oh that sounds lovely... Maybe.

You know an easy way to not run out of steam would be to have them IN AN ACTUAL RELATIONSHIP

Well at least there's a silver lining

>Bleach
Eh, I'd say that's a different case. Kubo just likes drawing cool shit and was tired of push back from the Jump editors to get some to do something different. I wouldn't say that's do to him getting burned out

He's also been drawing a lot of fantasy/isekai comics

Well, Jackson did a lot of shit in his movies. I can't come over how he absolutely slaughtered the elves and dwarves to make them caricatural copies of D&D shit with muh beer, muh axe and muh superior sofisticated beings.

>D&D copies LOTR
>Jackson copies D&D
Pottery.

I always took issue with the way that he pushes MUH GIRL POWER in every fucking thing he's done since LOTR. Arwen rides out to meet them, completely replacing one of the wizards... Or how about the love plot in The Hobbit... That character doesn't even exist in Tolkien's TALES novella, and that's his worst fucking story set.

He's talking about adding elements to the dwarfs in LOTR/The Hobbit that aren't in the novels. You can argue "oh well he enhanced them" or "gave them character" but that's kind of iffy.

The Hobbit love plot is the most offending thing for me.

Actually what I hated the most was the inclusion of Legolas. There was zero tension at all in the Legolas scenes, because we already knew that Legolas can't be defeated, he can't die, because we've already seen him DECADES into the future. We know that he's gonna be fine, so when he's running around doing CGI running on debris of a falling bridge, it's so fucking stupid and lame.
