As for shonen series, that's the curse of trying to not overtake the manga.
I wasn't talking about either, though. I was talking about old-school anime series where as few things happened as possible because there wasn't much content in the plot. The adventure was so open-ended that they never got anywhere. (Pokemon anime is guilty of this.)
It is refreshing to see an anime that tries to be ambitious in scope over a moderately long series. They are trying to do a lot in 50 episodes, so much so that some audiences have trouble adjusting sometimes. After all, Lulu took 3-4 episodes to get China as an ally and a few more episodes to start up a world-wide coalition against Britannia. And even romantic relationships develop at the speed of light, so much so that we don't know how it will end with the number of remaining episodes.

I wasn't requoting what you were talking about or extending your thoughts.
Just that when you made a comparison with how the older animes took more episode to elaborate the plot; it made me think of how they sometimes reuse plot material to make the series longer.
I think if they compacted Gwing it could have ended earlier but they reuse some of the material and i got bored near the end, that is just my opinion.
