Most short series don't have particularly high animation quality though. Longer shounen titles just use their budget during the moments that matter.....actually that is a lie, if you're Shippuden staff you use your best animation and art direction in filler arcs.

I can't complain, Naruto vs. Sasuke was my favorite part of Naruto/Shippuden. But shorter anime can still manage higher quality, usually, simply for financial reasons.

Again, they don't very often though. There are so few series with Paranoia Agent, Hyouka or FMA Brotherhood tier animation out there.

Also a lot of 1/2 cour anime now start with decent animation quality but it drastically drops after a couple of episodes.

To me, the turn-off with long shows is just the commitment it requires.

Same here. Heck, sometimes it's hard for me to get into 24 episode animu. 12/13 episodes, though, can be pretty easy to get into.

I'm watching 2 non airing shows right now. Slam Dunk at 101 episodes and Yawara at 124. Good times.

I just put up an episode of some random show when I feel like I want to commit to something.

Which rarely happens.

I meant I hate ambiguous endings.

Ah, yeah, I guess if you ignore all of the foreshadowing throughout the show. Kills the romance of it if he was to

I had the misfortune of having the ending showed to me first because the guy thought it was so fantastic.

But without the whole show to lead up to it, it meant nothing to me. Instead I now have to go through the series knowing what happens at the end.

The person that showed it to you sounds pretty smart.

He usually is, must his sensibility must've been clouded from just having finished the show.
Doing anything just after finishing a good anime is usually a bad idea.

Also I prefer learning more about the history of the whole thing. Then again we did get a bit of backstory with the girl in *spoilers*

Bebop's been on and off for a while. Bebop's been running for years consecutively on AS's anime block. It's good, but the programming needed to be changed up some. Most of the shows that have aired on the block aren't new shows, just shows that previously ran on either Toonami or on Adult Swim's anime block.

"New shows" off the top of my head: Casshern Sins (which is really just a reboot of a '90s anime that aired on Toonami, iirc), Deadman Wonderland, Soul Eater, and SAO. Most of the other shows have been off the air long enough that their cult followings will jump at the chance to watch them again, or are a member of the "Big 3".

Lucky, then you have Neko, Nise and Second Series.

Also Kizu but you might be in your 80s before we have that.

hmm, I don't think I've seen any of my extended family since school ended. Which is a shame since I'm sure my younger cousins miss me.

I'm not especially close to my extended family. I have a large family, and my parents are always urging me and my siblings to meet them, but I'm not really all that interested :/

Part of it is because I don't like to be forced into social situations. That's probably most of the reason, actually.

I don't see most of my family that often. Just my sister and parents every now and then, and of course her kids.

I have a rather small family.
2 cousins, uncle, aunt, 2 pairs of grandparents, parents, and a brother and sister who I never see.
