[snoopy]

There are 2 rumors for why it ended as rushed and shittily as it did. The first is popular amongst american fans and the other isn't. The popular one is that the Japanese audience didn't like it enough for it to continue. That's possible, although it really did enjoy pretty good sales. Much better than what Watsuki's getting for his alchemist sword whatever it is crap.

The second is that he cracked under the pressure of making a popular series (having to continue making it funny, the deadlines, etc). Logically, this one is more believable, since like I said before, it was making enough money to validate keeping it.

Conclusion? The mangaka's a pussy. Or it was unpopular. Either way, it won't have an anime.

And before you go around pretending to know what you're talking about, a manga's start date holds no relationship to the anime in any way shape or form. It took Hajime no Ippo 8 years to get an anime. Monster started in the mid 90's and ended like 4 years ago and just got one now. The differences between these and Pretty Face? Pretty Face was canceled. They don't like cancelling things, and when something is cancelled, they don't particularly like parading it on national TV.
