SSY is still the best anime this decade had to offer. If we exclude the HxH remake. It was.... Subarashi. Desu. |

SSY never went for DVD/BD sales. The anime increases the sales of the original novel more than enough to call it a success. |
I probably regret this post by now. |

The answer is you can't and with the advent of anime based on mobile games expect the situation to get worse, luckily mobile adaptations tend to be just adaptations of idol raising games, RPGs, and dating sims, these are fine, it'll get worse when other genres of games are adapted that really shouldn't be adapted. |

SAO both increased the sales of the original novel and sold a lot of BD/DVD. Well, OPs point was that SSY was a commecial failure indicating that we won't be seeing more anime like this which isn't true as far as I know. Of course SAO is more successful, that's not even up for debate. It's rare for a novel to get adapted in the first place, so even with SSY reaching its goal we won't be seeing many of those, but there's no indication that we'll be seeing less either. |

I would rather watch something retarded that knows it's retarded, than a retarded show that's deluded it's clever. Not a specific put-down towards SSY, but in general there are many of those. Edit: not a defense of SAO either, personally I think it looks awful. |

The fact of the matter is the majority of people don't care for quality anime and that's a fact you're going to have to accept. Good luck finding more anime like Shinsekai Yori and less like Sword Art Online in the years to come. |

OP, did you buy From the New World, if it's available in your region? (Not sure why so many people refuse to use its very straightforward and logical English translation...) Because if not, then it sounds like you're just complaining about how other people are buying the shows they like instead of the shows you like, and expecting them to subsidize your consumption. ObliviousSenpai said: Or that the majority do like quality anime, but they don't actually buy anime -- as TheNaturalPerm points out, the maniacs/otaku do.The fact of the matter is the majority of people don't care for quality anime and that's a fact you're going to have to accept. |

@OP: Exactly my thoughts lmao I've been craving another SSY since I finished it and nothing has really come close, other than Sidonia no Kishi (the atmosphere; not the level of quality or complexity). And yeah, reason why it sold less is because the people who are into SSY fall into the group that don't like to throw money at DVDs and merchindaise. Well, I would buy SSY's merch and DVDs...if I had money. Mikasa said: Is SSY translated? It's partly fan-translated online but no, there isn't an official one. I'll be so happy when it gets fully translated one day! For now, I'm pretty satisfied with Yusuke Kishi's other (officially) Eng translated work "The Crimson Labirinth" |

I haven't watch shinseki no yori, but it's simple, sao doesn't need to be better than shinseki, it just simple appeals to more people than shinsekai, when will you guys realize that? If your series doesn't appeal to a lot of people, it wont have great sales no matter how good you think it's. That's the sad truth. |

No, the main complaint is that stuff like SSY won't sell when SAO does. It's simple, but very flawed. Second complaint being we won't really see many shows like SSY because anime makers are more focused in making popular teenager shows like SAO. |

I'll be giving it a shot soon, but I don't have a high expectation, since you guys overrated knights of sidonia which wasn't all that great. |

A guide to living with that one guys ugly signature on MAL. 1. See that SullyNathan has posted last in thread, abort thread. 2. After clicking quick reply, close eyes and type out reply. 3. Try to scroll as far down as possible before replying if you prefer to keep your eyes open. 4. Report said signature for being offensive to the eyes. 5. See he is active in thread, scroll through thread while trying not to have eyes burned, sigh, click back & lose interest. 6. Move to another part of MAL forums where he does not visit.
