It was a good show and probably one of the funniest anime in years.

The OVA is great, but I have not watched the TV series. Stick with the OVA since it's only seven episodes.

I just realised the amount of Idols in regular anime really dropped off once the isekai trend started kicking in. It was a pretty popular archetype back in the past.

The original OVA and Wanderers TV series are enjoyable enough. I wouldn't touch anything else unless you're a completionist and absolutely need to understand why it is the franchise died in 1998.

There is a radio drama crossover with Tenchi

Lol that "not for sale" blurb cracks me up. How well did it rent, you reckon? What was the year, anyway?

That reminds me, the Dangaioh vs Iczer-1 audio dramas were translated and they have really pretty graphics to watch along with. They're the closest we'll ever get to an actual follow-up on Dangaioh since G Dangaioh is barely related.

Christ, that brings me to the past...saw the OVAs more than 20 years ago and laughed my ass off with it. I'd definitely recommend since it's not a long watch, though the ending is honestly a mess. One of my first interactions with "gee, Japanese are really good at setup but can't stick a landing even if their life depends on it".

It says it collects the first two series. They apparently do end it better than the others (Alternative World is supposedly awful with shit animation and was cut short, Wanderers is apparently mid and characters are rewritten badly).

It also doesn't help that, IIRC, most of the idol franchises have been falling off. Liella! didn't get the staying power that past Love Live! groups got, and their mobile games were mismanaged, hard. And I'm not sure how iM@S and Bandori are fairing these days.

Still wondering if Oshi no Ko has/is gonna murder idol stuff generally but I have no way of knowing because I never touch that crap (besides OnK which doesn't count).
It won't stop the submission system and rampant cross-media adaptation of unfinished stuff that promotes weird-ass mystery box spec chapter scenarios that seem cool but have zero planning behind them, but once in a while it'd save us from tragedies like 20th Century Boys where you can see a satisfying planned ending veer off the tracks because the publisher didn't want it to end.
hey guys remember that time they cut out the 70% of Akira where nothing fucking happens and it made it one of the most memorable movies ever and drove both that property and the japanese funny cartoon industry in general to international popularity
could there be a reason that doesn't happen with all the stuff you run into the ground on purpose so you can milk publication length over three versions of it (five if it gets horrible live action movies and a weird stage play)
Editor genocide now.

What scares people can be quite subjective, can you be a little more specific?

Not going to say I disagree with you, but in El Hazard's partocular case I doubt it was due to that.
And well... some mangaka need tard wranglers. From my understanding some of the better parts of Naruto's setup were due to his wrangler. So I wouñdn't do without editors.
I do fully agree that extending a series beyond what the mangaka has in mind is pretty much a surefire disaster though.
I expect it to just devolve into shipping wars (with incest in the equation!) till the faggot gets bored again, does a halfassed ending that ends with a fart and everybody just shrugs.

Yeah that was a general pre-coffee rant about the general crap we've been bitching about in recent pages; I haven't El Hazarded yet.
weird rec but Made In Abyss looks cute but is actually heavy existential/body horror if you don't mind something fantasyish (also it rules). less jumpscares, more gut punches and high tension though
do you mean besides Junji Ito stuff? I haven't seen the anime versions but that's usually obligatory.

Obligatory mention that it also gets the Loli, Guro, and Watersports. So if those are dealbreakers for you avoid. Mangaka is a degenerate and I would not trust him with kids but the story is pretty good and the setting is basically Fantasy Roadside Picnic but you can't leave the Zone without excruciating pain and/or mutation and death.
