While the plot of most manga series' isn't exactly stellar in the first place, I see your point. It's probably because scriptwiters for Japanese animated TV shows are hired for their ability to crank out scripts in a timely manner, not their amazing writing. Plus they've been doing nothing but attempting to write true-to-the-manga material for so long that when they break the mold it turns to shit.
