Planet With is only 12 episodes long, reminds me of Gurren Lagaan, but has 3 factions with 3 philosophies instead of 2. Unlike many other anime nowadays it is wrapped up at the end pretty well.
Animes are not getting wrapped nowadays because authors can’t finish what they start, standard is starting a series, series gets popular, and after 100-200 chapters author burns out and everything either gets abandoned or trickle to 1 chapter per month(s). It’s been a major reason why i now prefer manhuas, they can keep it up at least and often even finish.
Also even if a manga gets anime adaptation, the curse of seasons replaced consistent work, so it never catch up to manga anyways.
I have noticed a trend of the publication dates of hit series switching to bi-weekly or monthly schedules, or even longer in order to combat author fatigue. For example, Black Clover switching to quarterly instead of weekly; Chainsaw Man (part 2) debuting as a bi-weekly when the first part was weekly. Not to mention the increasing trend of short- to medium-length stories instead of long stories.
The era of major manga series being hundreds of chapters long may now be over! May Oda finish One Piece so I can find out what the hell the treasure is!
I don’t think that one chapter per week is some heinous crunch, some people are able to keep it for years (Joji Morikawa for example write like that for something around 30 years). I more meant those like whomever shithead made a Drifters series and abandoned it when it was the hottest.
Is there something like anilist for chinese comics?
I use the usual manga agregate sites, they have tons of manhuas by now. For some reason they lack sorting by chapter amount though so it’s PITA to find something interesting often.
My philosophy is that if a story needs > 100 chapters to be told, it has no substance at all.
