Oh yeah, it was too long! Did you finish your 15-season marathon of it? I can't imagine. ^^;;
Another one was The Walking Dead. It was why I praised “All Of Us Are Dead”, while they're not the same other than being in the zombie genre, the idea of survival and the various human emotions, mindset, combined, are similar. Yet, AOUAD was able to do in one season what multiple seasons of TWD tried to do.
Speaking of comparison with North American shows, there's one I am waiting this year, Netflix's adaptation of the popular Chinese novel “Three-Body Problem”. Tencent released their 30-episode TV adaptation last year, supposedly Netflix was going to release their late 2023 but delayed it to March 2024.
Netflix's adaptation will have 8 episodes only, at least based on its Wikipedia page. The Tencent adaptation was awesome, I've been thinking that was the reason Netflix had to delay their adaptation, they probably made changes. They won't be able to avoid being compared to Tencent (not to mention, there's going to be a lot of “cultural appropriation” thrown at them).
I wonder how the long and short series will compare in this case? Tencent's 30-episode vs Netflix's 8-episode adaptations?
