What's the problem with long-running series? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Everyone loves new content. Whether it's a new entry for the manga, new episodes for an anime, or even a new movie; everyone loves it. Even with things like Naruto and One Piece, no one gets sick of it. When it ends, people are always upset even if they haven't paid attention to it in ages. So what's the problem with series like this? The answer is, the story. Because these shows often need some sort of problem to overcome, there's always something that has to be added. This means more and more things are added to the story, and nobody can keep up with everything. Because of this, there can sometimes be repetition, plot holes, or just retcons of the current lore. Haven't heard of this Pokemon? Well it's always existed. We beat a similar villain three seasons ago? Well, this one is somehow related to that one. With every plot hole comes new things to explain it, which can sometimes make other things make less sense. Although this doesn't make a good series bad, it can sometimes create little feuds in the fandoms. It can also be a bit confusing, even for casual fans. This doesn't mean a series shouldn't run for a long time, nor does it mean a series becomes bad after a certain time. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
