Avatar has been pretty much a let down just like cowboy bebop. I really wanted it to be good, but they did this really strange with changing the characters personalities and corrupting the flow of the story.
One piece has been good so far but I got the impression it might be pulling back on the main character.
The problem with One Piece is that it's huge, its so effing long that it's guaranteed to get ended at some point, it depends on how cleanly.
Long anime series are treated a bit differently than North American live action productions. One Piece will most likely continue being made as long as there's manga to adapt. (Whether the mangaka will finish the story, drop it abruptly to do something else, or die of old age with it still incomplete is another question.) The only other thing that might kill it is if the studio making it folds, but as far as I know Toei is relatively healthy.
At ~1170 episodes, One Piece isn't even close to being the longest-running anime series airing in Japan today. I don't think it's even in the top five.
Honestly I thought Avatar was a pretty good show. The biggest flaw it has is poor pacing. Trying to tell a full season's story in only 10 episodes is just a bad plan
Yeah that must be a big part of how im feeling about it. The first episode of s2 put me to sleep. I wanna go back and finish it.
I wasn't predjudiced because I'd had zero exposure to any of þe original material, books or animated, so I was able to enjoy Cowboy Bebop and was sad it was cancelled.
That's fair, I probably am being too harsh on it. I did want to see season 2 of it before I wrote it off entirely.
I read a lot of fans didn't like it, which I completely understand. It's just a good example of how expectations can shape enjoyment. I knew þe name but noþing else about þe story, and þought it was great: great acting, decent FX, interesting story; I was looking forward to seeing where it went.
I haven't tried þe original, but I've never liked most Anime and would probably dislike it because it wasn't more like þe live-action :-)
