Not every anime gets to make it to the ending. Here are 10 great anime series that were ended before they even got to the best part!
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.
9 Ranma 1/2 Rumiko Takahashi's gender-bending tale is a classic of late 80s/early 90s anime, and was a bit of a breakthrough for comedic anime series. The story follows Ranma, a boy who during a trip to China fell into a cursed spring where a girl once drowned, causing him to transform into a girl any time he's splashed with cold water. Hijinks ensue, of course, but the story of the anime abruptly ends right as Ranma's mother enters the story.
6 Kaze no Stigma Also based on a series of light novels, Kaze no Stigma follows Kazuma, a boy who was exiled from his clan for being defeated in a bout over possession of a legendary sword that would've made him the clan's successor. Throughout his exile, Kazuma mastered Wind Magic, and eventually returned home, although not for some big confrontation, but just a demon-slaying gig.
3 Rave Master An earlier manga series by Fairy Tail's Hiro Mashima, Rave Master was an incredible fantasy series with some big ideas. The English version of the anime also infamously featured an opening theme by Ska band Reel Big Fish. The anime ran for 51 episodes, which seems quite respectable, but those 51 episodes only covered about one-third of the manga, which ran for three more years after the anime ended.
