Wow. Now that's a nice get.

THAT'S MAGIKARP ABUSE! Who ever left it there...

Well, I did come back and get it.  Three SR later, and here she is.  I wasn't aiming that high, but I will take it.  If I use it in the story, it will be one from the story.

Again spoilers:

Do you mean the monster hunter kind of retreat where they move to another place and even sometimes try to heal up? I don't mind these at all, in fact some enemies are easier to beat because of that.

I think they mean the ones that just say "Fuck this shit, I'm outa here" and don;t return

@Combat I don't think that falls under what I'm meaning.  I'm talking about bosses that leave a stage permanently (usually ending the stage in most cases) after falling below a certain HP%,  making you lose whatever money, exp, and item you would get from them.  In SRW (Super Robot Wars) games, some stages even have a stage's skill point tied to killing a retreating boss (though these bosses usually retreat much later, maybe at 20% HP instead of at 40%).  

I don't mind as much if the boss is not holding an item, but most do.  In most cases, it is hard to one-shot said boss (especially early on in the game), so you have to rely on a Support Attack.  Depending on the timing and game, you might have only one unit with that skill and only one unit that can deal enough full damage to make it work.   Setting up can be easy.......if you don't have a time limit.  Like I said, it's easier later in a game when you have more resources.

@FairFamily See above.  What you described is par for the course in SRW, with many bosses replenishing some HP and EN at least once (though re-positioning is rare). 

In the series I'm playing now (Fantasy Maiden Wars), most bosses have multiple Health bars with a gimmick attached (simulating the Spell Card system of the canon Touhou games).  Not really a relevant detail, but I'm just glad these mechanics make it feel different from a normal SRW game (which FMW is based on).

Of course, this isn't counting the very rare "a weaker version of the final boss of a series shows up 1/3 of the way through the game just for laughs, but you can technically beat them for an uber item".  I don't bother with those, since they are too frustrating outside of a NG+ run.

@Wolfox  If they run away above 30% HP, let them burn.

A 3D/CGI styled ( or should i call this one Berserk style? ) anime? Well, yeah, that's 50-50 between it's gonna be horrible or awesome. But, it's still a Batman anime eh? Well then, that caught my interest.

it's a Batman anime, which is either amazing or terrible and it's in the style of berserk(? never seen that before so not too sure)

It doesn't look quite 2016 Berserk quality bad, but that can only be truly seen when more movement animation comes out.  On the other hand, I doubt it could reach that level of disappointment if it tried, since Batman fans have plenty of other Batman series they can look at/read.   

Then again animation (even poor 3d animation) doesn't always decide a series' fate (e.i.  Kemono Friends).
