And even THEN larger studios can still split cours up for time. If a series can easily run two cours and you have other projects needing preparation, do one now and then have the second half under prep for a later season.

Maybe that is why the anime coming out these days tends to have maybe one good series to be found out of 25 series. They are just crapping things out just to have something on TV.

You do realize a good chunk anime, especially now, are based on manga and light novels. Even then, them being given breaks is fine as long as it avoids filler when other shows shouldn't, even if it might mean filler episodes to give time for story development?

What is a light novel? And I don't see there being any more shows based on manga than there were before. Before there was Dragon Ball, Yu Yu Hakusho, Inuyasha, Sailor Moon, Dr Slump, Yu-Gi-Oh!, etc. Today, there is One Piece, Bleach, Naruto, Fairy Tail, Attack on Titan, etc.

On top of that this is no different from how TV here works. Seasons end with questions still unanswered, the next season comes out later on in the year. It's not like current Power Rangers where the season's cut off at a point that makes no sense. They end a half-season somewhere that either closes that main storyline and teases the next or leaves a cliffhanger of some sort to guarantee you'll be back for the next part. It's not the show's fault, if anything I think you're just really impatient.

Yes, but that is why Japanese TV was always superior. They would air a series from start to finish, be done with the show forever, and move to the next. If I wanted it to be like American TV, I would watch American TV. This is Japan, they should be doing things the Japanese way, not the American way.

And yes, part of it is because I am impatient. Don't start me on a show if you are just going to leave it hanging there. That is also why I prefer to watch things on BD/DVD. There is no wait time. I can watch the whole thing in a few days/months depending on how long it is.

and Uub is brought back in later. :P have some patience. it's only the first 3 episodes.

which is way less than my threshold on if a show can keep me interested. (8 episodes btw)

To be fair, Toriyama did come up with the show's name and I think he designed SS4 Goku. Oh, and he said he liked the idea Toei was going to do, but yeah, other than that, I believe he despises the show, he just isn't allowed to straight up say it.
