Anime isn't as shitty this year as it usually is. There's actually 4 shows I plan to watch. I dropped SnK tbh since I can't stand cliffhanger endings and I knew this was going to have one. At the end of the day, anime I like aren't being made anymore and I don't have the time on my hands anymore to waste on watching shows I won't like just to "expand my horizons"

If you make a protagonist too interesting, how will you be able to self-insert yourself into the series?  ::)

Better to spend the entire time being non-committal about the fantastical events happening around your protagonist.

I'd say that's part of it, but another component is anime creators not wanting to piss off fans of the source material by fully committing to a choice where the source material is still ongoing.

I'm not sure what I hate worse, the cliffhanger ending that never sees a follow up season, or the rush a non-canon ending because we definitely aren't getting a follow up season. Ao the Exorcist had a pretty miserable wrap up, as they tend to be when they get cut early in manga form. But wasted potential is a pretty big letdown too.

Regarding non-committal romance stuff in particular though, there's the large number of them adapted from eroge or other visual novels. No real excuse for half-assing a route choice there, it's kinda the whole point you watch something like that in the first place.
