I think US tv series are mostly guilty of this.
One Piece, HxH, Berserk and D Gray Man story seems to be going just fine.
Don't know about HxH and Gray man but Berserk is too slow for its own good and has been dragging (though still good) and I just couldn't deal with One Piece any more. It went from one of my fav things to a fucking bore and a chore.

It seems like a lot of manga authors only have a plan for the beginning and end, but generally not the middle. At least a few have said they make it up as it goes along, but are always building toward the ending they had in mind since the beginning.

I've been watching it on Crunchyroll and honestly, I wasn't expecting to get into much but now I can say, I really enjoy it.
It's pretty messed up but I look forward to where the story is going to head. It's so odd but incredibly interesting at the same time.
Give me more gore. The more death, the better.

With how big the manga sales bump has been since the anime started, they might not have the balls to mess with the story and go for an original ending. They'd probably just go for a good stopping point and then have another season at some point down the line.
Nothing announced yet, though.
With Bleach already having "done it first", it'll probably make that sort of resolution easier to pitch to the execs.
Hate to go on a tangent in this thread, but I just started reading Berserk recently. I'm 10 volumes deep and this shit is absolutely incredible. The feels this manga gives me . . .
You're in for a treat. I'd love to read your further impressions.

You could always post in the manga thread about it. Quite a few Berserk fans in there. When you get caught up, you can join their pain of Miura's constant hiatuses.

Just watched the first episode.
Pretty awesome. I'm hooked.

Haha, the day I catch up to all that content will be a sad day indeed.
I actually am planning on possibly doing some video blog impressions that I will put on my humble 1 subscriber strong youtube channel. All for my own enjoyment lol, so if you're legitimately interested in my impressions of the series, there ya go.
But yeah how about that Shingeki eh? I gotta admit I am enjoying this show immensely animated. I caught up to the manga a few weeks back, but I really like how the material is handled in this adaptation, With a few exceptions here and there elated to censorship. If the Blu-rays release with uncut footage that would be fantastic. I'd love some Shingeki Blurays in general . . . I'll patiently wait for the localization.
But in general the show has a very epic and thematic feel that I'm really digging. I'm an enormous kaiju fan, and this series just hits so many beats for me. I always love when people get dark with the genre.
You mean Inuyasha right? I remember when that show initially ended two years prior to "The Final Act" that I was so pissed off, since I never expected the rest of the manga to be animated.

Actually HXH would fit the bill more. That or Gintama resumed after catching up and then taking a break.
One Piece should follow soon unless they go crazy amount of fillers like Naruto whose anime is still stuck in filler hell.
I don't think One Piece will have an end point if Toei continues the one chapter per episode scenario.

Soon you'll be with the rest of us waiting six months to a year for new chapters.
OH GOD, Hunter X Hunter all over again! I will definitely take my time then. I gotta a lot of content to get through, but . . . this shit is compelling dawg.

So yeah. I am cautiously enjoying this show. Been burnt a bit by anime lately (Gargantia's... Episode 6, I think? sprung an unwelcome surprise on me) but this seems to at least attempt to dodge the tropes even if there still is occasional stupidness (just say human, Eren). Really enjoy the Titan design, and think Jeren (sp?) is a really good character. Less bought over by Mikasa, however. Bit one-dimensional. The animation (when it's actually there) is fantastic, makes this show really strange to watch because it teeters between top quality and stills constantly.

Miura is confirmed alive at least. It's not as bad with Berserk since it's a monthly release.

I remember being in high school and getting to (manga spoiler)
Guts and crew sailing to Fairy Island.
I never found out if the crew got to that bloody island, I just remember them getting stuck at Filler Island when I looked at the manga again two-to-three years back.
hahahaha, but man Togashi must have some serious health issues. I mean you could even see the deterioration in the art-work quality in the Jump releases . . . Is he doing better these days? I never really knew what the deal was when I followed the HxH manga years ago. I just assumed some kind of illness combined with stress or something.

Is Berserk a light hearted harem fantasy shounen for young teens? I've read some of the latest chapters and it seems that way.
The MC is a nice change of pace from typical shounen MCs. He is a capable adult for once. I am shipping him with the loli witch because it seems to be heading in that direction.
It's probably his wife drawing it.
You've not read anything before recent chapters? And, no, it's not heading that way. Anyways, I'm off topic.

Togashi's illness is Dragon Quest fever.
Is that like Idolmasteritus?
Semimonthly, normally.
Hahaha, this is all starting to come back to me.

I've seen the anime for Berserk. I guess it's a completely different take on the source material since it seems to be a seinen take on a shounen manga.
Berserk is a seinen manga.
EDIT: Oh, wait, it's a joke about Schierke, right? Haha. Ha.

Wait. Berserk was a seinen manga at one time? Mind fucking blown.

It's always been a seinen manga and still is.

Wow, hahaha. Way to make me laugh at one of this anime's more horrific moments. Seriously that scene had an impact on me in the manga and the blood red stomach acid or bile is a nice touch.
I never underestimate their power to ruin a good thing.

Something I've been wondering, why do the guys gotta spin around like 20 times while they're flying at the back of a titan's neck before they make the cut?
holy shit this is awesome

There's no reason to doubt AnimeGAF based on last year's Top 10, which was filled with good shows. Now, that list from two years ago with Ano Hana on it maybe has some doubts, but the Top 9 is still just fine.
Yeah its gre.....oh the end song? No that is bad but the opening song is amazeballs.
No more stills! Paint to the rescue!
It's okay. I prefer the classiness of the end song though. What's so bad about it?
I always love the juxtaposition of an episode of batshit crazy stuff happening followed by some calming piano
Opening is just kinda full on choir chants, ending has a nice movement. I really love the animation style too.
