But since anime can be nothing more than very elaborate commercial for a manga series you will sometimes get a show that just abruptly ends and assumes that you will run down to your local book store and get the conclusion there.

This week we will be looking at five anime that for one reason or another ended at a place that left us both wanting more. We will also each pick one series the other has not seen as bonus as well.
In my earlier days, I remember watching shows and not knowing if there was more, or often assuming there was more because how could you end the story there! Of course I have since come to realize this happens a lot, you get just a taste, wish for more, and never do get it. So this is a celebration of titles that we want more of being aware that it might or more than likely might not happen. This is just the beginning of a list that certainly has many more titles to come.

In our first contribution for the Bonus Round for Anime 3000 we will give you some two-fisted reviews courtesy of your favorite anime detectives. Before we get to the reviews there is an important new bulletin for all noble patriots at the front of the podcast1. Hisui braved the battlefield and became a front line solider in the war against pants with his review of Strike Witches. You too can listen in and join the war effort for the liberation of the masses under the tyrannical thumb of General Shimada and the Moe Kaiser.
