Outside anime/manga, what are some other examples of this? I dont mean a new book coming out after the main series is finished. Just not finished at all.

tbf, when they first began the show, they likely believed that GRRM would have finished the books long before they ran out of source material

idk man, they cut so much out from the books along the way, saying they "ran out of source material" doesnt really hold water.

Harry Potter

Lol, I was thinking of just that when I made the post, but didnt realize they had started making movies before book 5 came out.

true.

but the show was still of good quality when it was following the books, despite some of its changes.

True Blood might be another series but I'm not familiar with the books.

Just get competent writers. GRRM isn't the only competent writer. Lots of shows change writers or showrunners during their run and are still good. Not having source material to draw from doesn't excuse shitty writing.
