It doesn't.
Had some cool pulp sci-fi stuff going on, but it doesn't go anywhere with plots that are paper thin. then it got gay due to rabid tumblr fans.
This is going to be long but I don't feel like there's a simple answer.
It depends. Like, if you at the Castlevania show, the first season (4 episodes) was more or less fine for the story it had to tell. Probably could have been rolled up into the second season but whatever.
Then you have S2 and S3 which are both direct opposites in terms of pacing.
>Season 2 >8 episodes >Dracula dies, bunch of vampire politics, Camilla subplot with Hector, the main trio spends most of the season in a library, Trevor and Sylvia get together, Isaac gets sent to the middle of nowhere
>Season 3 >10 episodes >Alucard has a threesome with two random twins, Lenore spends all season getting Hector under control, Trevor and Sylvia spend all season in one town
I'm probably missing some things, but the general theme is that the season relatively little time is spent on the season where Dracula (the main antagonist in Castlevania) dies, and too much time is spent in Season 3 with events that are less important and less interesting. Really Season 3 and the whole show could have probably could have ended with Dracula's death and been more satisfying than what we got.
I don't remember everything from Voltron, but I remember that Season 1 & 2 had pretty decent pacing and ended in a pretty satisfactory way, and in one of the shorter seasons Zarkon gets resurrected and then dies again (which took 2 seasons the first time).
I don't know how negotiations work with Netflix as far as how many episodes these animated shows get, but there's either a problem there or a general lack of planning with the writers of these shows. You have to know what you can reasonably pull off with the amount of episodes you get.
It doesn't, the first two seasons are just OK and then it nosedives. It was only held up by a genuinely fricking hysterical fanbase that became completely consumed by shippers, ignoring how shit the show was because they became utterly engrossed in making sure their personal headcanons for their vicarious love lives worked out. Seriously, shippers are fricking mentally ill.
have you watched it yet and do you care about spoilers?
I'm on episode 4
without giving you spoilers i think you'll be disappointed
Stick around until the end of Season 5. Then you can just imagine a conclusion after that, because it'll still be better than what actually happens.
It doesn't. It gets worse, in fact.
This, sadly. Started promising, but it drops the ball hard. Americans just can't get mecha shows right.
I remember constantly being uncertain about whether i actually liked the show or if i just wanted to like the show.
Correct but Megas XLR is good.
I heard this show had crazy shipping wars
yeah but objectively speaking that wasn't what was wrong with it
it starts "good" then nosedives after season 3
It doesn't.

When all the gays are dead.
It only gets worse, so if you don't like the start get out
Never
Only watch it if you want to do research on the late-10s internet zeitgeist. Otherwise, have a nice day as there is no good media anymore.
When will there be good western anime again
It doesn't. You were tricked into watching a mediocre children's show by a delusional fanbase.
It was never good.
The first two seasons are solid, after that it gets hit with Netflix pacing pretty hard and becomes a mess.
I wonder how being split into 6-7 episode """seasons""" effects the writing

It means they're always writing in fear of cancellation.

Never. It's garbage all the way through.
Wasn't this the show where the writers were given a certain number of episodes and then proceeded to only bother to have plans for about half?
When Klance won the ship wars and became Canon King.
It doesn't. It peaks at the first episode.
