| So is gonna be a full adaptation, huh? good to know, even if the production isn't fantastic. |
 |
| Yeah, I was expecting the worst, but at least all the books are translated. The plot has a shit ton of interesting stuff to happen and I hope they adapt it well. |
| I'm actually the one baffled by this thread, specifically by the implication that there are people out here unaware of the fact that average/minor series can and will get multiple seasons if all the right conditions are met. Having sensible production values, a sufficient number of viewers and a stable animation staff ensured that Orphen reached its third season. fudish123 said: Sorry but I gotta ask: are you sure Orphen is really in his 40s in the new series?Scootboi said: It's very popular in Japan, but the fanbase doesn't bother to demand better quality because this show needs it.

For pretty much every single TV anime series only the Japanese domestic market/viewers/ratings matter, so Orphen not being the hottest product on licensed streaming services has little to no importance to the series' production committee and its partners. There's absolutely nothing surprising about this remake possibly going all the way and animating all the books in multiple seasons. |
| I think because it's profitable, I like it so I'm happy... I mean, it's not the best stuff but it's more interesting than some average overhyped and generic stuff. But I have to say, I can't believe that some people still think that the west matters... and worse, that MAL score matters. Anime industry is an industry, money talks, simple as that. Btw, my take on this show would be "almost never blows my mind, but it never gets boring". It's pretty easy to watch despite the average animation. |

| Would you care to elaborate on these defects or are you just stating a personal opinion? |
Avvenirista said: Nah, the international market definitely matters. There's a reason why this show is animated the way it is and doesn't look like Demon Slayer or My Hero or Chainsaw Man or something.

You can check out my list to see what id be comparing it to or just to see my experience with anime in general. Normally if a show is bad id just ignore it continuing. But orphen was a step worse than bad to me. Which is why I'm surprised Also the certain sure i use was REDDIT. Not Even a piracy site. The thought of anyone paying to watch Orphen is pretty hilarious tho |

I want to establish that I'm not saying that any of these US reviews or streaming numbers matter to the people producing it in Japan, and that the motivations for producing shows and metrics of success are very different there than they are here. Rather, my point is that somebody who is not familiar with how the Japanese industry operates will use what they are familiar with as a point of reference, such as the US industry. For a series like this, where hardly anybody talks about it and those who do say it's overwhelmingly mediocre...I think it's understandable to be confused as to why it's still going. It likely would not be, were it a US production. |

Avvenirista said: Exactly, if it's on a 3rd season, it didn't suck in Japan and you are right, Orphen is a classic now, 28 years since "Heed My Call, Beast" and they wanted to keep it niche, since most of the ads are japanese centered. They don't even bothered to have an english page, they just post in japanese and people translate.ChangeLeopardon said: Just remember for a moment what this bulletin board we're posting on right now is about and then please tell me why anyone would even bring how the US animation (live action too?) industry works in regards to renewing TV series' seasons.Yes, here, on other sites.

| It’s extremely popular in Japan the LN is one of the best selling ever . Anime isn’t made for westerners. |

Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
Blackbird said: Yup! They'll cover all 20 books. Season 4 will pick books 16 to 20 and I hope for it to be at least 14 eps long. Both latter books, 19 and 20 are lengthy: 170 and 212 pages respectively. The shortest book is 16th, with 145 pages. Book 17 has 174 and book 18, 186. Soo, I guess 3 episodes for book 16 should cover it okay ish and all the others should be 4 in the least, with the 20th needing 5 episodes IMO. That would sum 20 episodes but we know Deen, they'll rush the shit out of it and call it a day. I just hope they at least keep what they're doing and don't fuck up Nanatsu style. It is gotta be a 4th season :D |
