Sure, I want a series to be good from start to finish -- but I think the way to do that is to cut the number of episodes each year in half.

Or to give toku more plot. Lots of people have given well worded straw man arguments as to why toku is paced in the way it is, but ultimately there is no excuse for a fifty episode series to only have plot for twenty of them.

If they know they have fifty episodes, they should write a plot that spans that, it isn't hard and if the writer is finding it hard, don't hire a headwriter who doesn't know how to carry a story that far. American shows have lasted for like twenty seasons and although you can argue the details of those shows they still never had the quantity of filler Japanese programming does like toku and anime.
