Why do some manga/anime run so long

If you had something good going, why would you stop? Especially if it's the only thing that keeps a roof over your head?

>Is it all about the money?
Yes. Mangaka are pressured into perpetuating successful series for years if the audience is there.

Are you implying here that golgo ran too long?
Its a shame how golgo dosn't have many translations or adaptations

No, that was just a random picture I had.

I'm pretty sure most of them want the money.

Dragon Half was irrelevant sales-wise, and Geobreeders ran for fifteen years, so I'm not sure what the fuck that list is supposed to be.

well, the keyword is some. some do, and others don't. think of it like 2 different types of anime.

1. the type where the writer wants to write a story with an ending, and 2. the writer wants to build a universe where many different stories/arcs can happen

Why do some book series/live-action TV shows/movie franchises/comics/cartoons run for so long?

Seriously, how autistic do you have to be not to have an answer for this, or to think it's specific to manga? Is it just one guy who keeps making threads for this shitty question recently?

I don't mind it with other shows, but motherfucking Detective Conan.
