^Someone like Blade Dance same as me. What I like of it is the beautiful fantasy setting. And ofcourse I like Est enough to put her in my favorite character list and use her as my avatar.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

I'm with you there. I'm really fond of Madan no Ou and Blade Dance, no matter how generic they may sound to people. Its fine if anyone decides to pre-drop a series based on the synop but for some with their quick assumptions I feel like they're missing out.

all five adaptations announced have barely-clothed loli girls on their novel covers, and they are all some variant of harem/ecchi/romance anime. they are all clearly trash.

Of the 4 I've read Madan no ou to vanadis is excellent, Mohou and Blade Dance are decent and Seikoku no Dragner some may like it but I find it really weak.

Synopsis said:
One day, however, he sees a girl wearing a uniform he had never seen before, who had collapsed on his school grounds. She is Aiba Mui and her appearance marks the beginning to a series of weird incidents. She once said, "to be honest, I'm a magic user and sorry... I turned you into one too."
Sounds cliche as hell.

Because in your narrow mind harem, ecchi and romance are always equal to trash LOL Perhaps we should call this trash mindset LOL LOL
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

really, i'm that 'type' am i? is it so wrong that i provide commentary in threads such as this that are essentially a sign of the continued downward spiral of the anime industry? should i just move along and accept and be happy with the fact that crap like this and the four other announced shows continue to be produced even though they are just clones of a crappy formula that was designed simply to appeal to otakus who don't know any better?

point taken for bakemonogatari though. although i will argue that it can't even be compared to what is commonly classed under harem/ecchi. it is in another league.

or fans these days have different taste compared to (your)the previous generations? Anime would have died long ago if it''s really spiralling down. I mean, who's buying all those BD/DVD?

strictly speaking in terms of the types of anime being produced, there is a lot less variety lately compared with 10 years ago. Each new season brings along an increasing number of SOL all-girl moe shows, and the harem/ecchi/average highschool boy shows, yet there is less and less money in shows that escape familiar territory and have no regard for widespread appeal. As for dvd/bluray sales...that is part of the point i'm making. otakus are in general stupid and only care about fanservice and seeing the exact same concepts "reinvigorated" with nothing more than a fresh coat of paint aka same character types, same tired old cliches - only in a different setting (sometimes the same setting will do fine). thus, they continue to buy this shit because it is manufactured for one purpose - to cater directly to their lonely anime-girl-obsessed selves. they couldn't care less about anime as an artform. that is the sad truth.

my argument is that these adaptations will suck, and these types of anime are almost always bad, and i am sad that more and more of them are being made while less and less interesting, unique shows are produced. i started the argument because people were disagreeing with me about this. i wasn't wondering WHY these types of shows are successful - i already knew that.

Yeah, but also prepared to react to your opinions, particularly if they are ones that are expressed with strong words. like your trash mentality approach LOL.

To be honest I would say that the variety is just not so much changed as before but the business model have changed. If anything it can be even argued that there are more variety because the midnight time slot offers a way to do anime that is not as feasible as before, and LN adaptation as well as harem or SoL anime are variety that did not exist so much in 2000 or before. It is just this growth of variety does not suit your "high taste" that bothers you, but this kind of attitude is just narrow-mindedness and utter failure to see how anime as it is - a kind of popular entertainment that has to follow the soci-economic trend in Japan. As for moe trend, it is almost everywhere now and it is just a matter of whether you notice it or not. If this is bothering you you just might as well start another hobby for your spare time.

my argument is that these adaptations will suck, and these types of anime are almost always bad, and i am sad that more and more of them are being made while less and less interesting, unique shows are produced. i started the argument because people were disagreeing with me about this. i wasn't wondering WHY these types of shows are successful - i already knew that.
The point is those adaptations are never meant to people like you, so just don't act as though if these adaptations did not exist more of the type of work you love would then be made. This is why people disagree with you, seeing you sitting on some high horse condemning people who are so low that they like HDxD or Madan (and worse for liking them because they find the story to be good) just because you think they are "utter trash" (which is a trashy argument anyway). Anyway, I do not see there was necessarily more unique or original shows in the past - it is more like people having "good old days" reminiscence which tells more about how their present (or how they don't like it) than the reality in the past.

Bonus adaptation chance points on if its tsundere loli in generic fantasy world.
Extra chance points if it has harem elements...
