| Good to see Witch Craft Works, Strike the Blood, and Tamayura selling well. I would like more seasons of all three of those. |
Now blogging at TheZenOf Mysterious Girlfriend X Anime Fan Club - It's about more than drool! Tari Tari Fan Club - Hyouka Fan Club - Chitanda Eru Fans Club~ |
| Nisekoi on top 10 this week and Gundam Build Fighters on the list too. Hmm... Monogatari Series: Second Season at the very top this week makes me happy. |
 |
| Code Geass blu-rays are selling! |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
Redoroin said: You wilfully choose to ignore that not all series are out yet, and that Nisekoi will have a v2 drop. That aside, Hoozuki will take this seasons 1# spot. But takiing the 1# spot this season is like winning the Olympics for kids with severe downs syndrome. Its the worst season for sales in the BD-era. It's also totally self-inflicted by poor efforts all around the industry and just lack of anything that both stood out and had the right pieces to be a big seller. Like I said the only shows that felt like they even tried to be more than the sum of their parts or something that hasn't been played out to death of late that debuted in Winter were the ones by Bones. Everything else I swear to god were either low budget action shows or dull romantic comedies that tried to spice things up with visual quirks. Just a brutal season all around that I'm all kinds of ready to file and forget in a few more days. Anyway that really is interesting if Hozuki is predicted to be the seasons top seller like I keep hearing. It would same to indict that WIT is making quite a name for itself as a new alternative to the same old names and ideas as it doesn't seem like the kind of thing otaku would be even the slightest bit interested in. |
| Highschool DxD New got many sales again but can't still beat IS:Infinite Stratos 2 >__<!! Strike The blood is doing well too and IS:Infinite Stratos 2 top 3 or 4 as usually! I hope that Highschool DxD get 3rd season this year! Infinite Stratos 2 will probably get season 3 or a movie next year. |

xmanga said: Infinite Stratos 2 will probably get season 3 or a movie next year. Not possible, once the "World Purge" OVA is released this year, the show has completely caught up to the light novels. We need more novels to get released. Damn author is being lazy now, it's been a year since volume 8 and still no sign of volume 9 coming out... |

| Kuroko no Basket seems to be holding up pretty well, hopefully they won't make us wait long for a third season. Same for High School DxD. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
phoenixalia said: Kaioshin_Sama said: Anyway that really is interesting if Hozuki is predicted to be the seasons top seller like I keep hearing. It would same to indict that WIT is making quite a name for itself as a new alternative to the same old names and ideas as it doesn't seem like the kind of thing otaku would be even the slightest bit interested in. Hoozuki has a huge female fanbase, particularly a yaoi fanbase. Even before the anime came out, it was extremely popular with females as far as a manga goes at least. I knew that had to be it. Man there really are just an extremely limited number of ways in which a show can sell nowadays. No wonder 2ch and stalker predictions are usually so accurate. Next season looks like it'll be pretty obvious which shows will sell the best too and it'll probably yet again be an Aniplex show cause Mahouka and Mekaku City Actors are already so popular. I actually am kind of interested in the former since it looks like it could be good old fashioned guilty pleasure fun ala the Index franchise, while the latter just kind of looks like the most omnipandering try hard edgy thing I've seen since the last hyped up Aniplex show (so not that long ago actually) and also seems to tap literally every cult support group from moe otaku to fujoshi, to the indie crowd, to niconico fans, to LN fans and beyond. It's also probably pre-destined for record sales and popularity which as a result will lead to a further extension of this Shaft style mega-popularity era I just so can't wait for anime to just be over with already cause it's kind of making anime shitty as smaller studios try to copy the formula. It's as played out to me as the Kyoani cute girls doing cute things slice of life formula. If there's anything to look forward to it's that somehow in an era as creatively dominated by one particular gimmicky visual style or at the very least one producer with the biggest marketing machine ever assembled in the history of the medium that an old school genre like mecha is somehow managing to make a comeback as are some of the older classic franchises which are getting remakes or sequels. I mean if you look at the way sales charts continue to read this just doesn't seem like the time for that sort of thing, but I guess it's now or never really. It seems like a big gamble on the part of a lot of creators, but hey at least it gives that faint hope that I'll be having some watchable shows that are at least somewhat in line with my tastes for at least the next couple of years cause what's consistently popular in Japan sure as hell isn't ever close. |

Hoppy said: I'm not interested in either Mekaku City Actors or Mahouka, they are far too overhyped and my turnover rate for really overhyped anime like those is close to 98%. They really do seem to come and go each season don't they. Something about Aniplex's blockbusters just kind of feels soulless and assembly line, but like they're trying to go for an Inception type deal where their output is accepted as deep and involving but the results are always mixed and split the fanbase since it's kind of hard to do a mature complex show while also trying to pander to otaku/fujoshi or whatever to keep sales up. There attempts at shows with heavy sci-fi themes tend to turn out the worst of the bunch and yet consistently seem like their most hyped up and that promise the biggest things. I mean they are capable of producing some good shows don't get me wrong, but I'm kind of struggling to think of anything they've ever produced of late that didn't feel massively overhyped/overpromised and that I ever felt like revisiting down the line or that as you put it doesn't feel like it just logically turns over to the next big hyped show they put out in the following season. Maybe Attack on Titan? Fate/Zero might have counted if they didn't deliberately cut out the one story arc I was most interested in seeing the resolution to and made it Blu-Ray exclusive. I mean honestly I could go all day about the things that Aniplex produced shows tend to do in putting commercialism over just delivering a good solid memorable show that just drive me up the wall and how almost any example of a studio working independently of them tends to turn out better albeit not as popular, but I figure I've said enough over the course of the last month or so and will leave it at that. Just glad to know there's somebody else that kind of feels the same way or has been paying attention enough to notice the same trends I do. phoenixalia said: Kaioshin_Sama said: I knew that had to be it. Man there really are just an extremely limited number of ways in which a show can sell nowadays. I'm afraid so. Unless it appeal to a mainstream audience, which anime almost never does, a show you has to either be popular with otaku or fujoshi. At least, I think so. Which is why mainstream stuff which is rarely made into an anime(like shoujo manga for instance) is now made into live actions(which I loathe sigh...poor me lol) because they don't sell discs. Tough, but that's the way it is. Gundam Unicorn managed to achieve a mini-miracle by getting older fans to come out and buy the shows and go see the screenings in theaters, but that's really the only example I can think of where a show just really has nothing I can see modern otaku/fujoshi gravitating heavily towards yet is a mega-hit. Of course that's an OVA series with movie quality animation so it's kind of different. |

A lot of the time, when people hype things up like no tomorrow, people are likely to get disappointed more easily. It's more prudent to wait till it finishes and get the general consensus from a trusted source, before watching it. |

| Wait for reviews? Not for me. I watch every new show, at least a few minutes or a few episodes if possible before deciding if I like it or not. I don't get caught up in any hype one way or the other either. For me at least, the only opinion that counts is mine alone. If I like a show and no one else likes it... who cares? I like it! If I don't like it but everyone else says it's great? So what? It just isn't for me in that case. With anime being free or cheap to watch the first time this is easy to do of course. Dropping even $11 on a movie ticket to see Madoka 3 or AnoHana movie in the theatre was a bit of a gamble but still well worth seeing it before being ruined by all kinds of reviews, often which these days seem to be intended to make the reviewer sound cool rather than doing a good job of a review. Reviewers don't like to give high marks to shows which most people are going to hate so they are completely useless to me. |

Reviewers don't like to give high marks to shows which most people are going to hate so they are completely useless to me. I just try to make my own decisions ultimately and pretty much don't take recommendations or look at what's popular or well reviewed anymore unless I really trust the source (I just don't have very similar tastes to your average fan these days that they could give something a good review and I can be assured that it'd translate well into me enjoying something the same way) or it looks like it'd be up my alley in the first place. There's some really hyped popular stuff that I've kind of liked of course such as Attack on Titan, Yamato 2199, Jojo, Fate/Zero Gundam Unicorn etc. and also some really hyped popular stuff that I just can't get into at all or flat out can't even stomach like Monogatari series, Key Adaptations, Sword Art Online, K-On etc. Just looking at the more hyped/anticipated stuff next season from both Japanese and Western audiences, Jojo, Mahouka and Mushishi seem like or are already established as being up my alley so I'm totally looking forward to them. Stuff like Mekaku City Actors (premise doesn't appeal to me, notoriously bad track record with SHAFT adaptations, seems like it would mainly appeal to Japanese otaku/fujoshi etc.), Captain Earth (Bad track record with staff and their previous attempt at a mecha series otherwise looks promising enough), Love Live S2 (Tentatively interested cause I like most of Sunrises work but realistically not exactly hyped for more of this at all and wish the studio was doing more of other properties I did enjoy like Accel World). I'll likely give everything a chance, but I've kind of gotta be realistic about my expectations here. As for the like it versus doesn't like it comment you made, I'll just say that a good chunk of the reason for my on again off again harshness towards certain fan groups and shows has to do with getting harassed and shitposted on for not repeating the gospel about certain mega popular shows got kind of old. It's harmless stuff in the long run as you say, but it's consistent and makes me groan enough for it to kind of make it just the slightest bit personal from a certain standpoint. I just sort of get tired of having to constantly explain to people that yes hard as it is to believe I'm not a big fan of hyped show x or y and the grumpiness comes out. It's always good when posters like you come into these threads and have something a little more insightful to say. You're kind of one of the good ones Hpulley, like I feel like even if we don't necessarily share the same tastes I can definitely communicate with you more than most on MAL. |

| If Bones really "Didn't care about the money they were using", then nobody would hire them since they're just a subcontractor that get hired by the producers who actually fund the shows. Would you want to hire someone who admits to wasting money and not trying to make a product that'll sell? |
