* ''Anime/LupinIIIPartII'''s English dub from [[Creator/{{Geneon}} Pioneer]] and Phuuz was cut short after 80 episodes. This discounts an unrelated English dub of eps. 145 and 155 from Creator/StreamlinePictures. Only 25 of those episodes (skipping episode 3) aired on Creator/AdultSwim due to low ratings with more episodes released to DVD and broadcast on G4. The DVD releases were canceled due to low sales. There was a rumor that more episodes or even ''all'' the episodes were dubbed by Phuuz, but this has never been proven true. All 82 English dub episodes (including 145 and 155) were uploaded to Creator/{{Hulu}}, but nothing else seemed to come until December 2015 when Website/{{Crunchyroll}} posted episodes 81-155 subbed in North America, to be followed with Creator/DiscotekMedia announcing that they were going to release the entire series on DVD starting in 2016.

A story left in the lurch isn't necessarily ''doomed'' to permanent irresolution, but the act of dealing with one may not turn out to be so glorious. The time away from the spotlight can result in the brains behind the scenes recharging their creativity, or the torch ending up passed to another aspiring mind.

A story left in the lurch isn't necessarily ''doomed'' to permanent irresolution, but the act of dealing dealing with one may not turn out to be so glorious. Yet, no one says that because the work is incomplete, no one will stop to contemplate what happens next. The time away from the spotlight can actually be good, as it may result in the brains behind the scenes recharging their creativity, or the torch ending up passed to another aspiring mind.

When new blood picks up an incomplete work, a common problem is [[OnlyTheCreatorDoesItRight concensus that something about the resumed version is off]], like a miscalculated attempt to revive a series that has any key factors to its original success (the premise, characters, actors, writing, etc.) aging poorly from where it last left off. In some cases, a fresh cast may avert this, but there is a risk of overpopulating a beloved cast with [[CousinOliver unwanted newbies]] to make up for the unavailability or passing of any part of the original ensemble- though this does not always apply, like in the case of a [[TheOtherDarrin recast]] or [[TheNthDoctor plot-driven change of identity.]]

Regardless, even the most dedicated and faithful approaches come with risks.

Even more frustratingly, often shows create {{Myth Arc}}s haphazardly, stringing viewers along and never really intending to offer any conclusion to the story {{arc}}s they tell the first 2/3s of, or answering the questions they raise. This is called TheChrisCarterEffect. Those that do care utilize the Front13Back9 episode plan in an attempt to avert ''this'' Trope, though that's no guarantee when RealLifeWritesThePlot[[note]]i.e. Any Tropes in that index plus UsefulNotes/TVStrikes[[/note]].

Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' Volume 9 ends with Team RWBY and Jaune returning from the Ever After to find that the various countries had gathered at Vacuo, meaning Ruby's call for unity in Volume 8 didn't go unheeded. An animatic epilogue showed the five reuniting with their friends while Ruby is hoisted as a hero and Weiss a villain by the populace. Volume 10 was planned, but put into DevelopmentHell due to financial concerns before Creator/RoosterTeeth as a whole was shut down by Creator/WarnerBrosDiscovery.

* In 1993, Topps Comics attempted a shared universe called the Kirbyverse, using creator-owned characters by Creator/JackKirby and consisting of both pre-existing properties Kirby created for the now defunct Pacific Comics (i.e. ''ComicBook/CaptainVictoryAndTheGalacticRangers'' and ''Silver Star'') as well as concepts that Kirby had not yet been able to get printed (such as ''Satan's Six'', ''Ninth Men'' and ''[=TeenAgents=]''). The Kirbyverse came to a premature end in 1994 after the first round of miniseries, their last entries being miniseries of ''Victory'' and ''Silver Star'' that never went beyond the first issue. To make things worse, Jack Kirby died that very same year.
