How is a comparison of kind an insult? Shut the fuck up.
Yes. This.

I would say Japan actually does it far more, just they do it well so it doesn't register as the same thing since we expect it to be awful.

When we're talking about particular artists and particular works we need particular answers. There are plenty of Japanese narrative works which did finish in a timely manner. Perhaps the examples of finished works are more concentrated in bigger, more pipelined, and less creatively free mediums which demand results. Tomino had to finish Gundam because when producing TV you can't fuck around for years getting it perfect. You need your episodes by a deadline.
Miura was so successful he basically got tenure as an artist, many such cases. He was working again before his heart exploded, but I think he probably exhausted himself working as he did during the manga's main run. As for George Martin, he didn't stop writing. He's published thousands of pages since A Dance With Dragons. It's all secondary Westeros material. Novellists in general have a lot of freedom, so they can act like this. I imagine he gets absolutely stressed to hell when he thinks about writing The Winds of Winter because Westeros is such a dense picture in his mind now and he needs to get everything lined up perfectly. If it were tv he would have been whipped over the line by demanding bosses years ago, and maybe that would have been better, forced to pull things into line in an intuitive desperate rush, or maybe it would have gone as badly as the Game of Thrones tv show.
Anyway, the particular character of his work, extremely dense continent-spanning conspiracies, can't really be rushed or vaguely felt out. He needs to fill this stuff out top to bottom. There are forum threads talking about how the geography of Westeros reflects in universe environmental history which informs the cultures of the world. The work is dense. He needs time. I understand if he is stressed.
What we're seeing with Japanese artists and endings is a risk we run when talented autists are given a lot of freedom. They either want to expand insanely or they can just get tired or mentally hitch up. In general. Nothing stopping you investigating each particular case as far as you can.
The stories people care about, that seem actually capable of really reaching people, seem to be manga and anime. Overwhelmingly so. It's what the humans are into.
You can watch Japanese movies if you like, even then you probably don't mean the 2024 line up, you probably mean the entire history of Japanese film. Every medium looks good if you line up everything all together. Especially anime and manga. Western film is brilliant if you let yourself go back in time. But with anime and manga I can justify the time without doing that.
Anime doesn't have problems. Like absolutely everything it could be better. Your tone doesn't read as "great but could be better". It reads like simpering cuckold lament. The ostensible "right" is full of people who degenerate into this when Japan is mentioned and it drives me fucking insane.

Yes, nothing is perfect. Which makes it interesting to look at what people choose to complain about and find problems in.
