* The 2000's reboot of ''MastersOfTheUniverse'' only lasted 39 episodes before going into repeats and being completely dropped, leaving many loose ends unresolved..

* The 2000's reboot of ''MastersOfTheUniverse'' went into repeats for several months in 2004, before being completely dropped from the air.

* The 2002 sci-fi series ''Odyssey 5'' ends with astronaut Angela Perry abducted by the [=AI's=] and scientist Kurt Mendel being arrested on suspicion of killing her. Plus the mysterious Cabal, which the team assume have something to do with the [=AI's=] and the impending destruction of the Earth, turn out to be a government force trying to ''stop'' the [=AI's=] and who believe that the Odyssey 5 team are the traitors.

* PiratesofDarkwater was ended before they could gather all 13 {{McGuffin}}s , or defeat the BigBad.

* Ditto ''ToLoveRu'', which had a very very unsatisfying ending due to the CreatorBreakdown the artist went through -- the GirlNextDoor was based on his wife, who turned out to be [[CompleteMonster anything]] ''but'' a GirlNextDoor -- sleeping around on him, kidnapping their daughter, ''[[MoralEventHorizon selling the daughter back to him]]'', stealing his computers ''and'' life savings, and then threatening to sue him for the rights of the aforementioned GirlNextDoor if he didn't end his hit series. The ending was extremely, extremely abrupt, solved no plot threads, and generally pissed off the fanbase -- until NicoNicoVideo and [[ImageBoards 2Channel]] put together the news articles about the divorce and figured out what happened.

* ''RozenMaiden'', whose anime OvertookTheManga and whose manga tragically ended with a DeusExMachina (and an apology) following a dispute between the producers and the publishers.
** Untrue as of now. The manga is starting again.

** Thats because there was a large petition (or something of the sort) from parents in Japan who thought the show was offensive, stupid, [[ComedicSociopathy and encouraged bullying.]]
** Parents in Japan finding a show offensive? From the same country that brought us ElfenLied and NaruTaru? '''[[FlatWhat WHAT.]]'''
*** Those aren't kids shows. The Gundam Seed incident, in which parents protested a scene that suggested the main character had sex, proves that even Japanese parents complain about the shows their kids watch.

* ''CommanderInChief''

* ''{{Reunion}}'' ended before its murderer could be revealed. A small but dedicated group of fans asked the producers to reveal the murderer, causing the producers to admit that they hadn't ''decided'' yet.

* PiratesofDarkwater was ended before they could gather all 13 {{McGuffin}}s , or defeat the BigBbad.

* CrossGen's entire MythArc was cut short due to financial collapse, and even the WrapItUp mini series was nipped in the bud. Especially ironic for fans who were leery over getting involved due to having experienced the same thing with Valiant, a few years earlier.

* ''[[{{Series/SonicTheHedgehog}} Sonic SatAM]]'', and ''SonicUnderground.'' The former got screwed for the MerchandiseDriven ''PowerRangers''. The other got cut off in its second season. In some cases, [[OrSoIHeard or so I heard]], it was canceled in MID-BROADCAST, leaving the audience hanging.

* ''{{Baccano}}''it's anime first episode is a huge indication of that, apparently the unknown blond girl sliced Isaac's ear off for no reason; her name is Adele by the way and she is a major character further where the anime left off. It seems Brain Base didn't expect this much of a flop, the series had to be cut short.

* WolverineAndTheXMen: The last episode ended with a scene in which Apocalypse rules in the future leaving no clue as to what's going to happen next. The show only lasted one season.

** Said full length movie also toed the line between this and simply NoEnding when [[spoiler:Sakura ''finally'' confesses her love for Syaoran, [[ItMakesSenseInContext jumps across a chasm]], and- *fade to black*. Mid-freaking-jump. [[EpilepticTrees Cynical fan theories]] suggest that [[DownerEnding she didn't make it to the other side of the chasm]], hit her head, fell into a coma, and dreamed up the entirety of TsubasaReservoirChronicle.]]

** Anime based upon RumikoTakahashi's manga seem usually subject to this. The anime versions of ''Ranma 1/2'', ''UruseiYatsura'', and ''InuYasha'' are all Cut Short. ''Urusei Yatsura'' did get a theatrical wrap-up, though.
