How exactly do you judge a show if you haven't even watched it?

So it takes no skill to take a mediocre yonkoma and turn it into one of the most successful franchises in the last few years? Ok.

Actually western fandoms more lean toword moe and fan service than Japanese fandom.You can see the difference between amazon.co.jp(Japanese site) and amgazon.com.(American site) ''moe'' 'harem'' works tend to be bigger on amazon.com compared with other genre.

Think he is more talking about the difficulties in making a female lead who is popular with the masses in general (Or maybe more likely, a younger girl lead). Since he was known for making female leads it would make sense that he was talking about his own experiences. He mentions that in order to gain popularity one needs to make the lead "lovely" or in other words likeable. However their seems to be a fine line between likeable and going full blast "moe", which in his opinion is a genre that makes the girls appear as "pets" when they go over the top in making them adorable. I should also note that this quote may also be talking to doujins or other works, it is not specified what medium he is referring to, since the end makes him sound like the author is creating the character as if she was "his pet".

Well, Miyazaki's always been a bitch. He complained about shading and "overdetail" back in the 80s, has bitched about otaku since the 90s, bitches about his own studio, subtly about himself.

At least Oshii bitched back at him, heh.

this is NOT your problem, nor does this affect you. in japan there's REAL otaku/NEET/lolicons/etc. (western society? not that much or just self proclaimed ones) THAT is what he's talking about...
But most of the animes today are funded by American companies like Funimation.This implies that anime has grown outside of Japan in a very large scale.And most shows are even made for the western audience which didn't sell a lot in Japan but did hits outside the country.
I can't be 100% sure of the facts but these were researched and addressed by Gigguk if that means anything to you all.

People here definitely regareded as anime otaku from Japanese standard.Stop trying to bash otaku because people here mostly fall into otaku category and sounds stupid when you talk as if you were better than otaku.


These are translation of NicoNico dictionary in Japanese


Otaku is the word to describe people who tend to be too into things they like.

・・・・・・・

The modern useage of otaku largely fall into these meanings

1.People who are into and knowlegeable about hobbies
Ex He is a base ball otaku
2.People who are so into hobbies that they affect their daily lives
He is otaku.He spend 24 hours a day on hobby.
3.People who looks weird and so on.People who have diffrent sense or atmosphere than average people.
Ex Your outfit is a bit otaku-ish
4 People whose hobbies are either anime/game/PC etc
Ex My class has a lot of otaku

・・・・・・・

Fans of anime that are popualr among general public/family/childrean (ex Disney,Ghibli,Doraemon,Dragon Ball) may not be considered otaku.
But even if that anime is widely-recognized,fans of anime that are known for having hard-core fans(ex Pokemon,Gundam,Evangellion) can be regarded as anime otaku.



These are translation,and from here this is just my observation.
Anime that are airing late-night and adapted from non-mainstream manga magazines(for example LN,VN,minor manga magazines) are very strongly associated with the word Anime Otaku and more often than not people who watch these anime almost automatically seen as(or identify themselves as) otaku.
I mean even if you are casual fans late-night anime or LN anime(SAO or NGNL) you are more likely refered to as anime otaku than hard-core fans of mainstream anime(OnePiece or Detective Conan)

i bet no one came name any

Your ignorance baffles me. What a great surprise it is that series which have only been around for one up to ten years at best didn't make as much sales as ones which are at least two times as old and thus had way more time to get distributed and established in other countries as well. Besides, whilst I couldn't find any reliable numbers in terms of sales, wasn't the Monogatari series' success more or less overwhelming? I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of franchises post 2005 which are worth mentioning, whether they're part of the all-time top five/ten (which I would love to see, by the way) or not.

I think he is talking about francise in general.

For example, when I go out now in 2015 in Japan and go to several convinience store or manga cafe or super market all I can see are Evangellion/Gundam/Pretty Cure/DragonBall/One Piece/Kamen rider goods and I can ocasionally find SNK or Naruto or SailorMoon goods.

Bakemonogatari is a big success but not in the same league as those major francise even non-otaku population likely know of.Unless it continues to sell same amount of DVD/BD as 2009.


I think LoveLive which is post 2005 is really big franchise even though it is otaku culture mainly because Mobile game market is very luractive market today.
I can't find suku-fes sales but considering Puzzle and Dragons yearly sale which s is 720M dollars,suku-fes shoud have at least more than 100M dollars per year

Old news. The industry has been taking the easy outs for years now. All you have to do is pump a series full of moe and it'll sell by default. Just as long you keep the show right in that strike zone and don't do anything adventurous like tell a story or develop characters. Anything too ambitious and the people found at other end of the spectrum, overly analytical asshats, will find whatever niche excuse to blow it out of the water.

It seems like from the industry's perspective you're either pleasing the mindless moe goers or getting bombarded by wanna be critics for not living up to some illusory standard.

As Miyazaki was saying, there's nothing inherently wrong with moe. Only when it's become the main focus of shows, characters, and industry is when you really see how limited and uninspired using one brush stroke or one caricature can become. A bit infuriating seeing as how the medium with the most creative potential is turning into an assembly line of pedestrian meal trays.

It'll give even the American music industry a run.~

Nothing bad with that, only that you seem to mostly pay attention to character from anime 10 years back at most (though I see you also have stuff like NGE which is older), while I count things since 70s; and pretty much rotate between old school, and new school titles.

Thanks anyway, maybe I'll check it.

People only see what they want to see. K-On is one of the forerunners of dealing with the theme of just having fun and enjoying life, the cutesy style just helps reinforce that feel good, drama free sensation. I have not seen many shows that are able to incorporate moe with substance as well as K-On and, to an extent, Aria have.

Sheesh, it's like you either need a ton of violence or completely realistic characters to make claims on quality storytelling these days.
