Fire Dead Sea such a long series of comics, and the times are related, now it is not popular comics to do long stories, short animation is more prevalent, comics are also to pick some of the plots to adapt into animation, 11 episodes or 12 episodes will end, see how the response, if the special fire and then consider the follow-up, if not so hot to stop adapting others.
This is caused by many reasons, the biggest reason should be the internet technology and the progress of some smart devices, even in Japan, the animation country, animation has also been seized by other cultural entertainment methods, such as a variety of short videos, a variety of live broadcasts. People's leisure time is limited, there was no choice before, but the animation broadcast time is not necessarily in front of the TV, and Japanese fans will record it and wait for time to watch it. Is it still so troublesome today? If you want to watch anime, you can go directly to the relevant websites to watch at any time, and it is unimpeded to open a member, because many people do not have the momentum of the chase of the year, and they can watch it in one breath.
If it is not adapted into an animation, few manga artists draw manga hundreds of chapters as long, before the animation drove manga sales, now anime are saved up to watch, manga is also a minute or two to read a word of content, but choose to become more is not so die-hard, people's lives become fast-paced fragmented, choose animation is also the kind of fast food works, less choose long serials.
"Fairy Tail" because the combat power collapsed relatively early, obviously feel that the serial strength is insufficient. "Attack on Titan" because of the author's tumultuous operation ending, probably will not see the animation after the third season, a total of only a few dozen episodes. "Devil's Blade", which many people had high hopes for, the author did not want to draw a long story, and the manga was already over when the second season of the anime did not come out. "Spell Return" is also quite hot and also feels that it can't grow.
At present, there are still many production animations that are serialized in the same period as "One Piece", that is, "Detective Conan", I don't know who consumes whom. The anime market in Japan is now less profitable than it used to be, especially in the 1990s to the early 2000s. The cost of adapting a long comic for animation is very large, the return is less, the audience has become impetuous, to see fast food refreshing animation, then the choice of the animation company is to concentrate the funds, sophisticated production of more than ten episodes of animation, both to meet the audience and quickly return the income.
Adapting a long comic is also risky, there are too many uncertainties, I don't know if there will be a sudden drop in quality and beheaded. Now the younger generation of cartoonists is not as good as the older generation can bear hardships, zhou more serial has been very hard, and it is even more difficult to ensure quality.
