** Ditto ''[[Mx0]]''. How the guy was able to continue illustrating after those is an incredible feat altogether.
* ''[[Double Arts]]'', a [[Shonen]] manga,had just finished setting up its premise, characters, the [[Big Bad]], even debuted the titular fighting style,and it was really starting to distinguish itself from its generic beginnings... [[I Should Write a Book About This|when the person writing the tale closed the book saying, "I may continue it... some other time"]].
* Ditto ''[[To
** Even though the story has taken a rather drastic change in tone and major characters, it has seemed to successfully subvert this trope and is now continuing.
** Now Kentaro Yabuki might try to fire back at his ex-wife with ''[[Mayoi Neko Overrun]]''.

* The second series of ''[[Genshiken]]'' stops at a point in the storyline just before the eighth manga volume begins. It had previously added to and extended the manga's material in order to have enough for a third series.
* The ''[[Narutaru]]'' anime ended at about halfway through the manga's story, giving next to no closure.

* "Woody's Roundup," the show-within-a-show in the [[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] franchise.

* ''[[Dear John (British series)|Dear John]]'''s star Ralph Bates died in 1991, so plans to continue the series were scrapped.
* ''[[American Dreams]]''
* ''[[Ace Lightning]]''
Line 105:
* ''[[Space Cases]]'' ends before any of the various mysteries could be solved or before the characters made it home.
* ''[[Las Vegas]]''
* ''[[V (TV series)|V]]''.
* ''[[Farscape]]''; canceled on a cliffhanger, which was later resolved in the miniseries ''Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars''.
* ''[[Joan of Arcadia]]'' ended right in the middle of a cliffhanger with God and the Devil fighting over her soul as a tick bite throws everything she's ever believed into question.
Line 148:
* ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'' never got a finale in the show itself. There were, however, a few TV movies that tried to wrap up the series.
* ''[[Keen Eddie]]'' [[Too Good to Last|only got thirteen episodes]], and only a handful were aired before it was canceled. Watching the rest of the episodes, especially the last, shows they were building up to something, and while there thankfully wasn't a cliffhanger, none of the character-arcs were even kinda resolved.
* ''[[
* ''[[The Black Donnellys]]'' ends on a major cliffhanger with many dangling plot threads and the central question (exactly what the cops want to know from Joey "Ice Cream" completely unanswered, or in this case, as it's a question, unasked)!
* The HBO series ''Luck'' had good enough ratings to renew it early in its first season, but they were forced to cancel it when three horses died during production.
Line 170:
* ''[[Shenmue]]''. The second installment ended with Ryo finally meeting Shenhua and discovering that the mirror he's been carrying does indeed have some sort of supernatural power. Then Yu Suzuki got the plug pulled on his series, so we'll never know the significance of this, nor Lan Di's ultimate role in the story. Then Suzuki quit at Sega, guaranteeing that we'll ''really'' never know how it all would have turned out.
* The 1999 PC [[Survival Horror]] game ''Nocturne'' ended on a positively agonizing cliffhanger, which over a decade later has yet to be revisited thanks to the game's storyline morphing into ''[[
* ''[[Freedom Force]] 2'' ends with the Jean Grey Expy, Alchemiss encountering an entity calling itself ''Energy X''. Unfortunately, there has heen no confirmation one way or the other if we'll ever see a third game...
* The ''[[Legacy of Kain]]'' series. The last game does give a glorious send off (of a sort) to one of its two main protagonists and does end on a hopeful note but the [[Big Bad]] is still at large and there's plenty of dangling story strings to be resolved. A final game to wrap the series up will almost certainly not be made due to the main writer departing and the death of one of the voice actors.
