10 Best Anime Series That Shouldn’t Have Been Cancelled

While the world of anime production runs on very different rules than American TV shows, there’s still one end result that every fan fears: an unfinished series. It’s rare for anime to be “canceled” in the way that American programs are – that is, pulled off the schedule and ended mid-run, in part because the success of an anime is determined by Blu-ray sales more than TV ratings. Despite that, though, it’s exceptionally common for an anime series to begin adapting a light novel or manga series, only to abruptly stop. Some of these series are of extremely high quality, but for whatever reason, only a small part of the overall story is adapted.
