* ''[[Spiral]]'' is a mystery series, and its main mysteries are "What are the Blade Children?" and "What happened to Kiyotaka, Ayumu's older brother?" The anime never answers either of these questions, as the manga hadn't yet by the time it finished production. An offhand comment by Kanone might or might not imply that Kiyotaka is dead in the anime continuity, and another compares the Blade Children to cuckoos, but that's it.
* Most of ''[[Piano]]'' is about Miu composing a piece for her piano recital. At the big moment, the story simply cuts off when Miu starts playing, without stating how the recital went or what happens between Miu and her love interest afterward. Sure, the main point is [[Coming of Age Story|Miu's decision about her music and her life]], but it would have been nice to get some more closure.
* A particularly infamous example of this is ''[[Ranma One Half½|Ranma 1/2]]''; the anime version, already criticized for being stuffed to the brim with [[Filler]] that had absolutely no bearing on the original manga plot, concluded a full ''three years'' before the original manga did, cutting out roughly a full third of the overall plot. For those without easy access to the manga (which, as a note, did not finish officially releasing in English-speaking countries until 2006, ''ten years'' after the conclusion of the manga in the original Japanese), this was kind of a huge kick in the pants.
** To be fair, the manga had also transmuted into a mostly episodic comedy around the same point and had just as much of a [[Non Ending]] as the anime did- in fact, the anime's ending might actually be considered better, seeing as how it ends on a fairly high note (Ranma and Akane getting along, Ranma swearing to find a cure so he can prove himself to his mother), whereas the manga ends with Ranma and Akane's wedding being an [[Blast Out|utter disaster]] and the two [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|sniping at each other]] in the same way they had been doing through the entire series.
* ''[[Code Geass]]'' actually resolved its main premise, but several subplot threads were apparently lost in the rush or deemed less important somewhere between seasons as the staff had to alter their original plans due to an [[Executive Meddling|unexpected time slot change]]. They include the true nature of Suzaku's superhuman abilities, C.C.'s real name and, perhaps most frustratingly for several viewers, any sort of official explanation for the Geass.
Line 152:
*** Somewhat dealt with on ''[[Raising Hope]]'' where we find out that a "A local man who made list of good things to do finally finished it." Both shows are by the same creator, Greg Garcia.
* According to [http://www.platypuscomix.net/hollywood/shrunktv.html this page], the TV series version of ''[[Honey I Shrunk the Kids (TV series)|Honey I Shrunk the Kids]]'' ended its first season revealing that the leader of the Men in Black (no, not ''those'' [[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]) was an evil alien who had plans for the Szalinskis. It ended up getting [[What Happened to the Mouse?|tossed by the wayside]] for the rest of the series.
* ''[[ICarlyiCarly]]'' has a few plot-points unresolved or not referred to, and they revolve around the [[Shipping]] that is not the main focus for the show, and only comes up in a handful of episodes per season. There are differing ideas on what it meant, mostly around which side of the Creddie (Carly + Freddie) or Seddie (Sam + Freddie) shipping divide people stand on.
** The first, is the end of ''iThink They Kissed'' where Carly asks Sam and Freddie (who shared a [[First Kiss]], then hid it from Carly), how long it was, and if they enjoyed it. The episode ended before they answered the question.
** The second, is at the end of ''iSpeed Date'', Sam walks in on Freddie and Carly sharing a slow romantic dance in each other's arms. She walks out with saying a word. Again, it's not been brought up again, so speculation abounds on her motives and feelings for Freddie (or [[Ho Yay|Carly]]). Again, what people think is based around the shipping divide.
