Anyone else get this feeling?

The feeling that a whole world is wasted every time someone goes to the trouble to make it, then gets ended because the story was about the characters?

By this, I mean that, when an anime/manga/story of any kind includes this wonderful world of magic and possible adventure, then the story only includes the parts about the characters, and thus ends when their story ends, you feel like they missed the chance to show off their wonderful world?

I don't know, maybe I'm one of a kind. I care as much for the side stories and world in which the characters live in as I do the main story, but now I'm rambling.
Anyway, just wondering.

well not really I just like to think about the stories char. but well yeah sometimes I would like to see most of the worls that the manga / anime takes place in and a I wonder how did it get like that.

Desert Punk was one of these animes and It ended to short for my likein g but I wondered about the world in it and just wonderd how the hell did it trun into that pile of shit?

well sorry my opinon and me rambling too.

[size=10]Well, to some extent, I can relate to you. Samurai Champloo, my favorite anime of all time. Spoiler Alert. More than one:



Too bad though, most people focus on the main issue of a story/manga/anime and then it comes to an end once addressed. With certain anime like Naruto, I don't really like for them to lead away from the main characters, but with certain anime like Samurai Champloo, I can definitely relate to how you feel. Sometimes, it could be nice to look at other things or avoid ending the story.[/h]

When an author creates a world and characters, the author doesn't always have everything planned out. They may just need a world with a few certain conditions (like in Naruto, Kishimoto just needed a world split into different countries, but he didn't need to explore in-depth each country), and if the story needs to be moved, or if the author wants to move the story, then he/she can explore different parts of the world. I guess, in short, the author comes up with what he/she needs, and that's it.

It's fun when authors place several stories in the same world or thoroughly explore the world he/she has created. Stephen King, with his Dark Tower series and the connected stories, is a great example of this. Also, HP Lovecraft, and a ton of other authors. You may hear the name of a place in one story, and in another, visit that place and hear all about it. It's interesting and fun.

But sometimes, everything doesn't need to be explained or explored. Thinking about Naruto again, I like seeing the characters visit places, but I don't really care about the other countries, and if Kishimoto made some stories about the other countries, I'd only read them in case they included something important about the story. I don't give a damn about the Land of Earth or the Hidden Rock Village.

Yeah, this was my thinking, really. I also agree with Shaggy Jebus, I don't care much for the other countries either.

(Rant alert! If you don't want to read about my ideas, past the line, I get to the point, lol)

Actually, I was thinking of how there's this story I'm writing, but it's in a world that has all these awesome different locations to explore, because it's in a post apocolyptic setting, with demons running rampant in the world, and humans discovering ways to battle them.

The main story is of course about the main three characters, who try and close all the gates to hell. BUT! I ended up wanting to also write chronicles of a bunch of demon slayers who go through the history after the initial apocolyptic event.

Anyways, my point being I wouldn't want to go through the trouble of making up this story, this world full of stories, and it end with just one story being told. Anyway, I like the idea of exploring ceartain worlds, instead of letting it die with a single story in that world.

Cool, that story definetly sounds like something I'd read. It also sounds like it'd make a cool video game or something. Or at least it does in my opinion. But yeah, I'm glad you understood me/can relate to the idea of going beyond the main characters. Good luck with the story.

Thanks! I'm glad someone else thinks about going beyond the story, totell even more, and I'm also glad to see someone interested in my book!

Which, btw, I plan on being a video game if it does well enough as a book. I just need the right company to do it.

I would buy that book.

I'm glad people are into my book!
it'll be called "The Hellgates"
Along with a side series called "Chronicles of the Demon Slayers" Which'll be a short series of short stories revolving around the various demon slayers who existed through the history of the book. It'll be out in... I don't know, actually, I've been hitting Writer's block for a while...I still don't have a publisher, either.
