| The international anime community and the Japanese anime community are very different, because of culture and those things. So is very normal that you and a Japanese person would like different things. Just take a look at the Top 100 anime of all the time according to Japanese fans. |

| Japanese people like different stuff from the international community, like for example you can see why male otaku would buy Blu-Rays for New Game! S2 rather than blu-rays for Made in Abyss or other shows from this season we consider "good" in America or other countries aside from Japan because.. MOE MOTHER F**KERS. Tbh Japan kinda has s**t taste compared to the international community if you check out the recent top 100 list that Japan did, everything related to Love Live! was in the Top 10, like seriously Japan? You know the best Idol Anime is Aikatsu! and Idolm@ster right? SMH |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| probably cultural differences. What Japanese people dislike might be something really appealing for us and vice-versa (Though i'm also very sad for Re:zero sales aswell) |
| Because nippon dont give a jesus ass about your western taste. Damn i already written the same thing so many times. |

| hajime no ippo at least is too mainstream and appeal to a wider audience than otaku dvd buyers or something like that this is based mainly of this post: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1656930#msg52096481 we can assume other anime are in similar situation for others you might be in minority of thinking they're good... |
 |
| > I liked doesn't mean they like it. So chill your ass fam. |
| because people don't all agree with you on what is good |
   |
You need to learn this rule bro It's not a moeshit anime that is produced by KyoAni ? Then of course the salls will be terrible. |
  "elles sont bien noires les pensées des nuits blanches"  |
| Good anime is subjective, stop expecting the industry to cater to your specific tastes |
| Your taste is different than someone else's, what a suprise... |
 |
| Rokka no Yuusha and Keijo for example but yep they have different taste |
 |
| I don't know all the anime you've said, but those that I do know I enjoyed, like Sakurako-san and Relife. It's a little sad, but sometimes that's how it goes. The domestic market for anime is much more influencial than the international market (because Japan sucks at reaching out to the international audience). The Japanese market is also far far different from ours, anime has spent a good amount of the last 15 years building up the Otaku fan base. They'll never give any of the anime you mentioned much of a look. On the other hand, the casual Japanese audience will also be unlikely to evee come across these anime. They are the crowd that'll only consume more mainstream anime, not to dissimilar from the International causal anime watchers. Why do such anime gain so much love from us? Because we've been sucked into anime in a much different way than the casual or otaku fanbases. We get a lot of our anime news from seasonal lists, anime databases and our friends who are already into anime the same way we are. Also, HaXXspetten said: Why do all the shitty blockbuster Hollywood films sell so well in the US? This is not something that is somehow unique to Japan. Also #opinions To an extent this is also true. What makes an anime popular is usually not what makes it outstanding. |

| International commmunuty: Japan has shit taste Japan: International community has shit taste Taste, standard etc are subjective. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser.

When looking at their sales it was completely SHIT under 1K..... What do Japanese people like? Anime in general doesn't sell, it's the manga that sell. Anime makes Manga sales higher. Anime series that sell ''a lot'' sell from 2-8k per volume. Only like 1 anime per season goes over that. Manga sales also mean more towards the probability of a season 2 than anime sales in general. So, based on your exemples. Hajime no Ippo's manga sells really well. The others aren't really that well know either in japan or worldwide. Not saying if they are good or not, i haven't watched most of them, but it's a fact that they aren't mainstream. Anime series that sell a lot in Japan are generally either Moe anime or Anime based on Games. But there are exceptions obviously. Kyoto Animation and Ufotable anime series generally sell the most out of any studio as far as i know. Well you could put Sunrise up there too. Some of the best selling anime i know of from recent years : - Love Live ! - Yuri On Ice - Granblue Fantasy The Animation These 3 are rather recent and all had 30k + sales per volume if i remember correctly. ''Older'' anime that sold a lot : - K-On - Fate Series ( Pretty sure all of it sold really well ) I really haven't read that much about sales but i remember those anime selling a lot. Madoka Magica also probably sold a shit ton. |

| Because sales are only one way of having success. For example Ippo isn't a late night show as far as I know so it isn't expected to have high sales, just good TV ratings and keeping the source material relevant. Condiering the manga of Ippo has over 1000 chapters I find it ridiculous to assume the japanese don't like Ippo. Not many series are that successful and long-lived. Orange got a movie on top of the TV series so in some way it must have satisfied investors as well. Of course not everything you like will be successful in Japan (or anywhere), that's because you're an individual. But understanding that getting an anime in itself is already a sign of pretty high popularity and/or appreciation from Japan will go a long way towards being more reasonable when it comes to seeing the bigger picture. The manga/LN inustry is huge and getting an adaption is definitely a sign that a series is doing very well and is beloved by the japanese audiences. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Buying physical copies is a dying breed. I don't even like doing it unless I absolutely belove the series and even then I only do it for COMPLETED series. People and Japan especially who have the breaking seasons up into 2-3 episodes per disc are annoying and deserve to have the industry collapse on them. |

isekai said: disc sales (BD/DVD) are not the sole determining factor of profit for the anime industry look for merchandise sales and source material sales boost too like did the manga have a big sales boost? then you can expect a sequel for the anime that way too At this time of digital age. BD/DVD is kinda terrible imo. BD is kinda argueable for collector but should only be produced with Japanese and English Translation international otherwise it is a waste. Same thing with Manga/LN it needs properly translated to boost the sales else people wont be buying it. The fact that most anime are used to advertise source material. but instead boosting it, it probably kill some because it ends up on a cliffhanger and people stuck between buying the source but untranslated at least to English Language. Anime/Manga industries suffer from it to gain profit and selling out the DVD/BD, Merchandise wont be profitable as we enter 21st digital era. To even support the studio that working on it by streaming legally it doesnt really solve the problem because region blocks. The piracy however also act as the main issue that caused the anime industry to fall, but thats not the main reason why people pirate Anime/Manga. because either way without a proper access to support, theres really nothing changed from pirating it. |
| Oh for fucks sake these threads are cancer |
| Japs have the shittiest of shit taste nowadays (Can't comment on the ones I've never touched though). There used to be a market for good anime, but that time has long past in favour of boobies and kawaii shit. Also, relife and Orange are shit, and zero kara blah blah blah is a LN advertisement. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
Long_Ng said: Kuraokani said: It's because of the eyes. No seriously, the eyes. Our eyes are more open. We can see things that Japanese people can't. Like, for instance, a good show. When you squint your eyes and look at a ugly girl, they aren't as ugly. It's the same with Japanese. Their eyes are naturally squinted so they can't see the full anime, they only see half. That's why I want to move to Japan. I think I'll be able to find a girlfriend because she won't be able to see how ugly I am. this is the most sarcasm comment i've seen all day thank you, that was good Lol i should make a note of this quote. |
I knew there was a reason I wanted to move to Japan, but I never could've put it in words. This post opened my eyes to the truth. |
| Been asking this question ever since the whole low sale thing with Noragami Aragoto. I get that it's a sequel, but the sales were way too low for something that sold pretty good for the first season. Mean while shit like Re:Zero and Eromanga sensei are earning a lot of money. I will never understand the Japanese anime community. |
| Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's. Noragami is the best anime ever.  |
| Probably because they don't like mainstream anime so much. I don't know how it was in past, but now they're obsessed with moe anime. The most popular anime in Japan right now is Tiger & Bunny. I've recently just heard of it (that was in some top 100 anime in Japan list) and I've never watched it, but it's the most popular anime in Japan. They like Love Live! and everything about it. The exception is Haikyuu! This is the only anime in top 5 which is not a moe anime... |
 |
| Japs have shitto testu. Also, it's the overly dedicated fans(Otaku and fujoshis) who usually buy BD/DVD and other merchandises. And only a select few genres attract them like Moe, Yaoi, Idol, popular game adaptations etc. |
 |
| maybe Japanese ppl like something alil different from us...maybe our tastes are a little different from theirs |

AnimeAddict117 said: maybe Japanese ppl like something alil different from us...maybe our tastes are a little different from theirs Yeah they are different. Like someone mentioned they have different eyes they see half what we see |

Takamura-sama said: Re:zero sold really good... Season 2 is going to come once the LN sales go down. The sales are so fucking good More like it's waiting few more volume before second season. If it's ever happen remember the full 25 episode (26) adapt whole 9 volume. The LN need like another 12 incase it's another 26 full episode run. Tbh Japanese anime industry is indeed terrible made the distribution to international. Although i don't have proof. It happens on most of JRPG games. The terms are famous because most of game that made it out with English port especially came with digital copies sells alot compared non. Thus almost the reason why most of the jrpg coming to PC this past 4 years. Bandai/Square enix/Capcom/including other smaller publisher like Idea Factory made it happens. The anime wise still binded with region lock, merchandise selling, BD/DVD without digital copies (legal version), etx. I mentioned it again it does not only applies to anime , because it also includes Manga and Light novel. Thus fans translation happen. Doesn't sell well eh? More like doesn't distribute well. |
