socialjust-ish:sighinastorm:animeengineer:nico-nico-knee:animeengineer:rainandscarves:It’s the How I Met Your Mother Effect. If an ending betrays the viewers and the story badly enough, it actively cancels out the cultural influence of the show. It decreases the rewatch value and diminishes the fondness and relatability of earlier seasons. And people wonder why I tossed Nisekoi in the recycle bin.Nisekoi got an ending? I thought it just got stuck in the harem loop with an increasing amount of locks and keys?Yeah, it finished up in 2017 with 229 chapters. Raku and Chitoge hook up and you don’t even see Onodera’s face. She bakes a cake for them? Bleh.I was thinking about this tweet earlier today, and came to a conclusion (not the first or likely last) that the ultimate fault lies with lack of corporate oversight. Believe me, I was shocked at myself. The show runners were left unsupervised by the production company and distributor. As a result, it has permanently crippled the show’s syndication value.Sinikarly, D&D made it really clear from season 6 onwards that they were tired of running the show. They openly despised it. Apparently HBO was begging them to do 10 seasons and they said they wanted out asap. Despite that, none of the executives said “okay, well hand it off to someone with passion.”That might have been due to contractual issues, and maybe it would have been expensive, but 10 seasons of the most popular show on the network and a satisfied fanbase would have been worth it. -- source link
