    Shonen manga is notorious for having winding stories with no narrative endgame planned.

    Even the DBZ anime at 291 episodes is brutally long and drawn out, with a narrative that obviously repeats itself to the point of self-parody.

    Everybody is gonna enjoy what they want to enjoy, but cmon.

      I just rewatched Yuyu Hakusho and it became obvious real quick nothing planned from arc to arc. Even when the creators want a clean end, their editor will push for more if it’s popular enough. I can respect Demon Slayer for committing to the final villain that was setup in the beginning.
