Sensus_97 said: Sounds too generic to me. Probably won't watch it. You mean the superpower superlucky young man, right. And after read the synopsis.. "Kanata Age is a young man who lives on the floating wizard academy.." as always, I soooo dont feel like watching it when it comes to any anime or another anything else that set in magic or mage or magus or wizard academy. |
DarkDooM2 said: "young man" This was getting my hopes up just a little bit, until I googled the title. As expected, rather than a young man, he's just a little boy. I am thoroughly disappointed. Isn't there a LN like this that follows an actual man instead of a special snowflake boy? No, because the target audience will feel alienated if the protagonist isn't a generic self-insert. Anyway, I'll watch the first episode and see how it plays out, though I'm not really expecting anything out of it. |
kuuderes_shadow said: Zefyris said: Considering my tastes, that's not really a prize I can look forward to though. I'm not sure fantasia bunko ever published one single title interesting me (maybe full metal panic...?). You gave the anime of Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi an 8 Ah, you're right, I completely missed that this one was from the same editor and got the big prize in 2009. I guess there is exception everywhere, there IS indeed a title I'm interested in in there. Although Kuusen Madoushi Kouhosei no Kyoukan looks less like Kamisama no inai nichiyoubi and more like the usual stuff that publisher does. A usual stuff that I have a hard time to appreciate. |

| This looks original as fuck. Hoppy said: I see that the LN adaptation refuses to die without a fight, but at least bring something better to the table, although I can't complain about the art this time, it is decent unlike the last one announced. You realize most of the best selling anime of the last few years are Light Novel adaptations right? |

The problem with LN adaptations is the lack of variety, there are a good variety of LNs in Japan but none of the unique or new concepts get adapted. |

| This sounds so terrible. It has potential, though. |

The fact that they more often than not don't go out of their way to advertise via anime series for LN/novels titles outside of a very specific theme. I don't know, why do you think this is happening? Maybe because they associate the anime community with people liking that kind of theme, and therefore thinking that the anime community will be receptive to advertisement for that type of LN, and less for other themes ? You're part of a few very "vocal" users on MAL who think that what they see as LN adaptation is the only thing that the impressively huge list of LN title has to offer. Looking down on the LN medium as a whole, without realizing the irony of your situation. That makes me seriously laugh. You're only watching anime adaptation of what the LN industry thinks you'll want to buy, so advertisement targeting a specific audience, nothing more. f you don't like the result, it's not that the LN medium is " a joke". It's that you don't enter in the targeted audience of those advertisements. |

I was mad at the fact that most people don't understand that its a Japanese product, being catered to a Japanese fan base. That is why we see these THEMES / GENRES. It just seems like 75% of the people here are always crying over the fact that this product was meant to be seen by the Japanese fan base, and nobody else. People crying over this isn't going to change the minds of these Authors Artists / Animation company's. I will agree with the fact that 60% of LNs, and Manga don't get the treatment they deserve when being animated. However, this doesn't mean the anime is going to be bad in its own right. |

| Just shows that this is the superior series/medium XD There are tons of serious non ecchi LN's] but they "DON'T BRING IN THE MONEY", meaning people don't buy them, meaning they're objectively sh!t.

They don't get adaptations because nobody (including you) buys them,all talk. |

wrenchbread said: http://thecartdriver.com/5-light-novel-adaptations-announced-in-one-day-further-analysis/ I facepalmed so much time reading this it's not even funny anymore. And yet I was still waiting for a proper conclusion, but there is not. Lost of time to read this, really, I was naive to believe something relevant would get out of such ridiculous article. Well, whatever, 4 of the 5 fall indeed in what I said earlier. You get that type of LN adapted, not because there's only that, but because the targeted audience while making advertisement (IE, anime) is more likely to like that than any other type of LN. Making an anime cost a lot. So obviously, if you're going to make an anime as an advertisement, you're better off choosing the product you're going to advertise for properly depending on the anime audience. ichii_1 said: Just shows that this is the superior series/medium XD There are tons of serious non ecchi LN's] but they "DON'T BRING IN THE MONEY", meaning people don't buy them, meaning they're objectively sh!t. Lol why don't all you haters buy all those supposedly great non ecchi series you love and what are some those series anyway? They don't get adaptations because nobody (including you) buys them,all talk. Just looking at any weekly report from oricon is enough to show that you're completely wrong. Non-ecchi stuff sells at least as well as ecchi stuff in LN. Heck, even the current best selling ( by volume) running series isn't ecchi. And it doesn't have an anime, and will probably never have. So, not even pointing out that sales have nothing to do with quality, and that yes, thank you, I'm buying LN already (since I have more than 300 bought ).... ...It's not about "not bringing the money" like you say. You aren't supposed to send to guys advertisement about products designed for women, and so on. Even in japan, people watching anime series on a regular basis are a minority. There is no point in doing a costly advertisement for something that isn't targeted toward that minority, even if among that minority some would indeed like to see something else. Doing an anime nowadays, even in one court, just cost too much for taking that kind of risk very often. |

| Lol just because an anime has lots of girls it's a harem? XD Hey Attack on Titan and Berserk has girls I guess they're harem right? Most of them have to be in love (there are different types of love) and Stef is the only one like that. Shiro? no (siblingy love) Jibril? no (complicated friendship) Izuna? no (friends) Don't talk when you don't know sht, please :( |

| I don't even need to look further than the cover of the LN series I'm currently reading to know how much judging a book by its cover can lead to wrong conclusions. I mean, I want to see the face of a guy who seriously tried head on to read Kyoukaisen-jou no Horizon just based on its covers. Cute women with big boobs, right. Well, there is indeed cute women with big boobs inside. Just... Not going to go far before giving up with that kind of interest as you leitmotiv here lol. Anyway, back on topic. Judging a book by its synopsis isn't especially a good idea either. Some synopsis are very awfully made, and some stories simply start from really cliché settings to develop into some awesome stuff. So let's not judge this LN by its synopsis, and neither by their covers, seriously. Or do I need to give a link of the news topic on MAL when mondaiji series anime adaptation was announced. So much fail in those pages. "harem ecchi " and so on. lol. |

Maybe I should clarify that you made a definitive claim before I did. I first merely pasted a link that breaks down how similar these LNs are at a glance. You're saying they're very different in spite of that, that's OK, but, you provide no proof and is now trying to turn the burden of proof onto me while at the same time say I should shut up. So please, prove all of us wrong by detailing how different those series are. Otherwise, again, let's end it here. |

Progeusz said: Nidhoeggr said: You can surely name three or more girls who are in love with Sora, right?NGNL surely has no highschool setting, but it is full of harem allusions and to deny that is pretty strange. I never said it is a complete harem. But Jibril has a master-slave relationship going on with Sora, we have Steph who is always abused yet seems awfully clingy at times and then there is Shiro..and yes, there are incest hints. I am sure the furry loli of the last aniem arc regulary drops by later on as well. Once again, it isn't a complete harem, but it plays with these tropes in an obvious enough manner so that people - in combination witht he other tropes it has and how it develops its characters - can easily conclude that it panders to such a demographic. And these pseudo-harem elements are surely getting more prominent in the past few years. |

Because what we got was so much better... Better or not is beside the point, as it's all about personal taste. besides, Mondaiji is a series I gave a 5 to, LN and anime together, after I read the first 2 volumes, and I almost dropped it there. In the end, after the first two volumes, the story become far more interesting, and it's currently a fairly decent read imo. Anyway, leaving personal taste aside. It doesn't change the fact that people that were complaining about another ecchi/harem anime were completely and utterly wrong wrong about the content. Which is enough to prove my point. Judging things with a synopsis or worse, a cover, will lead on a regular basis to wrong conclusions. |
