How does dog shit get green light in japan? What is the basis in choosing what manga/ln should be adapted into anime?
| https://myanimelist.net/anime/49470/Mamahaha_no_Tsurego_ga_Motokano_datta new So like this stuff redo of healer, ex arm, worlds end harem,school days and all that dog shit. Like why do they greenlight this? Do they have some statistics that says the Japanese people will watch it or a shot in the dark. |
 |
| It's based on sales obviously. Nobody is forcing you to watch any of this. |
| I don't know about the one that hasn't aired yet but of the other examples you shared, besides Ex-Arm, they all have dedicated fanbases and are popular in Japan. School Days is a classic. |

 |
| people will watch that no doubt, doesn't matter what we think about it |
    |
| whatever the novel or manga publisher pays for or finds the money to promote through committee money gets made into a an animated advertisement for the source material. that is the only law. |

|
| Lmao you never read a light novel in your life and you call stuff you don't know about dog shit, loool |
 |
| You know what they say, one man's dog shit is another man's chocolate pudding. |

| Corporations tend to have a couple of research teams tasked with following the market trends of what sells and what did sell in the past , they basically take the consultation of a small group of individuals to what they should do with their next project , and most of the time these individuals seem to fail their companies with their choices even if these choicese are obvious flop no matter how we see it they just go with it regardless because "data said they are going to succeeded " Its similar to corporations in the west with their woke PR campaigns that tend to backfire a lot at them because they take the advice of some small indoctrinated individuals that somehow believe everyone wants to be preached out about the current thing . |

| I assume step one is to ignore random people not from Japan on the internet.... |
| because Japanese taste is trash and garbage. |

| I could literally say the same thing about Madoka Magica |
| People like different things and its not tailored to the hardcore fan that wants X or Y series it is on whats popular. Its not possible to know if a series will be popular even if it is very good. They need to take chances on stuff that could be good or they think might popular. We know there are plenty of stuff that is "bad", but if it sells well then it doesn't matter to the studios. |

School Days is a classic. Even with Ex-Arm, the manga was honestly decent from what I read. It was popular enough that it got around 100 chapters. It was the anime that butchered it and turned it into a meme. |
| Business maybe? Some of them probably just really want to produce/publish something or capitalize on IPs they have. Just like how lesser viewed TV networks makes drama/novelty/news shows just for the sake of having some. And as others mentioned, some Anime may look poopy to most, but they have their audiences who could like it, i.e. targeted to kids like "Leadale", generic VN/Harem/Romance for teens, or generic and cliché shounen with flat characters and over-used tropes. Most are low-budget anyways so, there's not much to lose for producers/publishers. Sad for Manga artists/LN writers though who has good materials but gets ruined by that kind of business approach. |

| @MagicPolly there you go, all these anime get greenlit because there's a market. It's not like producers are just selecting manga using a wheel or a dartboard. OP just wanted to show his frustration towards anime being made he doesn't like, just another hate thread. One of the things I like most about anime is that shows that would never be made in the west get airtime in Japan, some good some bad, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. |

| I could say the same about any place. There's an audience for everything and what many studios are looking for are sales and dat mullah 🤑 Look at the Slenderman movie for example, a horrible, asinine conglomerated piece of fucking DOGSHIT and a complete and utter disgrace to the creepypasta and its fans. "Hm, say... Slenderman was pretty popular for a while wasn't it?" "Yeah, though why are you mentioning him now? People have probably long forgotten about it already." "What if we made a Slenderman movie?" "Like I said, he's yesterday's trend. People don't care about Slenderman anymore." "Yes but people LOVE nostalgia nowadays, you know those videos of random early 2000's TV programming that garner millions of views?" "Yeah?" "What if we made a movie on Slenderman that the kids that grew up with it can get all nostalgic over? Think of the sales! Their childhood nightmare, turned into a reality!" "Holy shit, that's a great idea! But wait, does anyone here really know anything about Slenderman? We can't make a good story if-" "Who cares? We don't need to make it good! The fans will gobble it up! Alright, get me a bunch of bimbo actresses and get to work on the CGI, and don't bother with the plot! As for the horror, people think the Slenderman is scary right? A few jumpscares will do the trick!" That's how I imagine it was greenlit. |

| They green light isekai stuff which in my opinion, some of them are dogshit absolute diarrhea. |
