Death Note is a popular answer, and I also agree that its ideal stopping point is…
Death Note
L’s death
Bocchi the Rock is another show that I felt would be at its best if it stopped at episode eight. If the upcoming compilation movie stops there, I may consider it superior to the TV series. It’s not unheard-of. Violet Evergarden’s film-length recap stopped at Episode 10.
I want to see more of Bocchi-chan's rock!
The title drop + roll credits is its peak and climax. I hoped its finale would be amazing. However, episode eight overshadowed episode 12. Everything after E8 felt like a lede for an S2.
What are yours?
Incorrect.
Do the constant camera panning and characters looking angry at each other add anything of value to you?
Uhhh either your describing dragon ball, or are you referring to character development?
This comment puts the fear of Oda in me. How? that series episode count is in the quadruple digits
