This is particularly obvious in anime,  where certain quality standards that are enforced in the west are often broken in the name of telling stories that push the boundary of there system.<p>For instance,  &quot;Futari Wa Precure&quot; was the begining of something almost as big as Sailor Moon and around episode 24 of the first season they put extra resources to make an incredible finale;  they were not sure if they were going to make more episodes for the season.<p>All of a sudden they need to produce a new story arc and for a few episodes they out of control in terms of writing and direction and the story frankly doesn&#x27;t make much sense for a few episodes until they are able to get on top.
