Decade plans are mostly huge lies. Every brand likes to say they have a decade or a whole franchise lined up. In reality, this almost always means "we have real plans for one product with a normal lifespan, but would like the money and support for a decade long dynasty, if our backers will oblige."
The #1 reason I actually got into anime was because most of it does end properly, and are typically much shorter than most western animation. So I wholeheartedly concur.
Well, as long as the anime is not based on an ongoing manga or light novel series. In those cases, you're probably stuck with an open ending and a (likely) futile hope for future seasons. If you're lucky, the resolution of whatever arcs the anime covers can feel like a complete package though.
Macross / Gundam have good solutions, which is to do a Star Trek and keep the setting basics but either timeskip or reboot with a new cast. That's all it takes sometimes to keep things fresh.
Like, for a brief shining moment, Macross Frontier was bigger than EVA.
I forget when it was made but I could’ve sworn Black Lagoon was set some time during the 90s. The cocaine logic point still stands.
The new Netflix series doesn't hold a candle to it. It's still got another season, but... I feel like they wasted a lot of runtime on that first arc instead of doing more stand alone episodes. The tempo of the original series was better, in that they drop hints and pieces every few episodes before the final four or five episodes show the climax and conclusion. It conveys the feeling of a long investigation well, since the main story thread is broken up by all the smaller incidents that may or may not be related.
Although 2nd Gig has one glaring inconsistency at the end, in that it has Motoko uncertain about a plan that's something she already did once in SAC.

Remember how Tatsunoko had the opportunity to let the rights lapse in 2021 and then instead signed another deal with Harmony Gold? For 35 more years?

What sort of blackmail material do they have on those Japanese executives?

I would love some sort of deep-dive on this topic in all honesty. I think it has something to do with the court case when they tried to get out of it in 2017 and were unsuccessful, AFAIK.
See: Madoka Magica and Steins;Gate.
I thought this was settled! You don’t own the IP, it’s Studio Nue’s!
oh, that's why then. "you're going to pay us for something we don't own, and the courts upheld the original contract so it fucks over all other title holders? okay."
I'm very fuzzy on the details, but I distinctly thinking it sounded much more interesting and darker than what we got.
Still amazed season two managed to go from being completely off the rails to a surprisingly decent ending for what I was expecting.
As for the second season, you may be interested to know that the Code Geass movies largely blaze right through the first half of it. We're shown Suzaku's point of view during most of that time and don't go back to Lelouch until he's leading the attack on the secret Geass research facility.
So now I'm starting 'Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!'

It needs more Kashima. And a lot more Seo.
Damn.... that’s some good shit.

After the first two episodes, I'm not sure about it though.
So at the end of two episodes (the first episode being an hour long), and we still haven't progressed past the first day because he keeps respawning, and he's the only one that can get any character development since the others reset when he dies.
I'm assuming that later on his "save point" will change, or else that's going to be a real bummer.
Does it get better, or if it hasn't hooked me at this point should I switch to something else in my queue?
It does gets better imo
Also it's a really good time to start watching now since season 2 is going to start like next month (July) I think so you can suff-I mean enjoy the journey together with everyone really soon after finishing the first one

Everyone wish good luck to Falcon!
Define better. It turns into basically angst porn after a point, the main character spending entire episodes just staring at the screen, looking aghast and/or crying, helpless to do anything but suffer as the cruel world tortures him personally, until things spontaneously fix themselves because he like... cried at a slightly different time than the last fifteen times. It's like if Edge of Tomorrow was about a helpless teenager who responds to everything by making ridiculous angst faces and crying instead of becoming a super soldier. That and date episodes. That harem's not going to harem itself.
A lot of people confuse silly faces and torture for actual pathos.
Also, they like memes, and the show makes a fucking lot of really silly memey faces.
