Yeah, Takahashi frustrates me. The woman is a genius at creating interesting, funny worlds (usually just slightly off-kilter from reality, but consistently so and in a particular way), and peopling them with fun, energetic, dynamic casts of fascinating characters from both genders, who embark on an engaging and entertaining plot with plenty of amusing sidestories...
...and never finish it. Takahashi has actually come right out in an interview and said she hates wrapping up and ending stories, because it feels like saying goodbye to the characters.
So, as her plots approach their logical conclusion, she just lets them dissipate into a scatter of filler stories, sometimes running on interminably in no particular direction, and eventually just declares the series over and starts a new one. It's deeply frustrating. >:[
