Why animes don`t take brake like U.S. toon?

[RAINMAN]

While in the US toons take a few months brake to make new ep`s, in japan anime never take brakes. And if it`s a anime base off a manga that is catching up whit the current manga storyline, anime writers are force to make filler or recapes ep`s that drive fans crazy. So why don`t they adopt the US system?

Simply put, cause thier schedules are more lock tight than the US.

Also, there's always the threat that it'll get canceled for it's pos show witin a show.
Yes, i'm still bitter over Kujiun.

Beats me. Originally I thought you were referring to how anime can air one episode a week for years without a break in the U.S., but apparently you're referring to anime in Japan... Is it possible that it takes more time to think up storylines for the generally one episode American animations, whereas the anime just play off the manga and can do the same storyline for at least a year, or air filler that takes ten seconds to think up...

Japan doesn't break up its broadcast time into seasons to the same extent that the United States does. Programs in Japan are formatted two ways: the "closed format", in which the program is booked for a certain number of episodes, and then ends (Neon Genesis Evangelion, Chobits, and RahXephon are examples of these), or the "open format", in which the show has no ending planned from its inception, and will remain in production for as long as it remains popular (like Dragonball Z, One Piece, and Meitantei Conan). Programs based on manga that have run a long time are usually open format. Most American programs are basically closed format on a season-to-season basis, but get renewed if they are popular. Popularity is based on ratings, so there is downtime in the production schedule while the network determines if the show will be continued, hence the use of "seasons".
