Forced to end even if it’s popular It’s too severe, the circumstances of adults surrounding anime
What ends suddenly is not limited to the “Weekly Shonen Jump” manga. As you know, anime often ends unnaturally, even in the middle of the story.
However, in the case of anime, the reason for the end is different from the serialized manga, which involves various adult circumstances. In this article, “Suddenly finished anime” is selected from the Heisei anime works. While inferring the background of the end, we will also introduce the subsequent development.
“Mahoujin Guru Guru” (1994 edition)
“Mahoujin Guru Guru” (written by Hiroyuki Eto), whose sequel is still being serialized, is a popular gag fantasy animated three times so far. The final episode of the first anime (broadcast in 1994), which is still handed down among fans, is memorable. Since the story caught up with the original story, the original anime story was developed in the second half.
As usual, the protagonists, Nike, arrived at the Demon King Gili without any tension, and suddenly thought that it was the final battle, and suddenly abandoned the battle and returned. “I thought it would be better to raise the level a little more,” and so on, pushing through the gag that seems to be “Guru Guru” until the end, and it was the final episode of the legend that the viewers were crazy with the Demon King. The original story that was not drawn in this 1st-period animation will be complemented when it is animated again.
“Bobo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo”
The anime “Bobo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo” (written by Yoshio Sawai) keeps saying, “Maybe I just dreamed.” It’s not a dream. It was appropriately broadcast.
Not only was the content ridiculous, but the pulling was also quite ridiculous. In the first place, few broadcasting stations have reached the final episode, and in many areas, the final episode has come abruptly. The surviving broadcast stations will continue in the ridiculous form of “no sponsor” and end when they reach the “dark emperor edition” in the original story.
Takehito Koyasu, who was the voice actor of Bobobo, looked back on the recording site at that time as “only fun memories.” I would like to once again pay tribute to the broadcasters who have decided to continue broadcasting.
“Dragon Quest: The Adventures of Die” (1991 edition)
Animation “Dragon Quest Dai no Daibouken” (supervised by Yuji Horii, original by Riku Sanjo, drawn by Koji Inada). It was animated on the TBS series in 1991, and sales of toys are also vital. It was trendy. However, in the middle of the battle with the dragon knight Baran, it was decided to reach the final regret round.
It seems reasonable to see that the station was involved in a large-scale reorganization of the frame. It seems that it was produced on the premise that the broadcasting period will be extended from the original schedule. Hence, it seems to be different from “discontinuation,” but in the end, it ended at “from now on.” Since then, there has been a constant desire to re-animate, and after 30 years, it has finally revived in 2020 as a completely new animation. It was a pleasant surprise for the viewers at the time when they became parents of boys.
“The original has caught up,” “The sponsor has disappeared,” “Major reorganization” … Even if the audience rating is high, the TV animation is forced to end for various reasons. However, works such as “Dai no Daibouken” are also revived from the fans’ deep-rooted voices. Perhaps the time has come when former boys and girls who have grown up can recover the anime that ended due to adult circumstances with their voices.
