| Cancelled? Very unlikely. Director replaced, possibly with a heavy downgrade in budget/quality? Much more likely I'd say. At very least, I'd be surprised if they can pull off the 12 unique ED songs/animations gimmick again. |
| Do blue ray sales make up a substantial part of their income? |
 |
| oh cool, the money wasted on the animation could be of use to something better! |

| "Anime didn't make any money" -300K physical copies sold of the OP song CD KICK BACK ( ≈5.07 million USD) -Multiples collab with gacha games, clothes brand, milk brand... -A lot of new different goods/merch are being mass produced every day. -A lot of figures characters being mass produced too, they are popular on amazon. -Streaming licence being sold to a lot of different streaming service, probably one of the most expensive license sold to crunchyroll. -A CSM coffee shop has been opened. (Ofc MAPPA is credited to all those thing) Ofc bluray sales is a big way to make money from an anime but bluray are just a one time thing, all the thing that I have quoted will bring in more money and will continue for years... If bluray were the biggest factor MHA wouldn't even get a full adaptation since it sell poorly in term of bd... yet it's one of the most lucrative franchise because mha sell a lot of merch, do a lot of collab too (like the one with fornite), which bring a lot of money. |
| imagine thinking dvd sales matter in 2023. lol u ppl are absolute 🤡 |

| Personally couldn't care less although the story is interesting and I love Denjis stupidity but the anime felt off somehow, I'm not sure why, maybe it is the animation style but it was a bit off putting for me, don't know about others lol |

King_KK said: thats weird. then why didnt they portray it like that like bleach or gintama?ss4chris said: The manga is more goofy and has a less serious atmosphere than the anime. That's the reason the Japanese fans got mad. Also the art in the colored manga is more colorful and expressive compared to the anime. Plot wise both the anime and the manga are exactly same.how come they didnt sell well? did the anime differ from the manga? im curious |

According to what I have heard, the director wanted to make it more cinematic and thus removed all the comedic anime reaction faces and made the tone more serious. His vision was to make it as close to a live action movie as possible. That vision of his backfired and people didn't liked what he was doing to the source material and that's the reason why CSM anime flopped. |

The anime is more calm though. Most of the complaints I saw were about the anime not being as comedic as compared to the manga. The manga doesn't get dark untill the later half. The early half has a lot of comedic scenes. |

| Good. It was the most overrated anime that I've seen since AoT or JJK, except at least those didn't have ugly ass CGI. |

That vision of his backfired and people didn't liked what he was doing to the source material and that's the reason why CSM anime flopped. Except blue ray sales it still had high streaming,merch sales, promotion and what not crap. S1 was commercially successful period. There wont be any decrease in quality because it was a success. The more appropriate term is how well it was received. GOT S8 had the highest streaming views and was commercially successful but was not well received. Japanese fans are unhappy but that doesn't mean they will drop the show. Most of the manga readers will still watch s2 if csm "bad" adaptation can be rectified. If s2 can enhance the cg and be more faithful, it will be fine Maybe flop isn't the right word but it definitely didn't achieve success in Japan. I don't know weather later seasons will achieve the similar numbers on streaming though. I think a lot of Japanese manga readers are just not gonna bother with the further seasons of the anime. I think Mappa will definitely decrease the budget of subsequent seasons and will completely stop the anime production after they adapt part 1 completely. Chainsaw Man could have been a successful shounen anime, it had all the elements for it. But given the kind of reception it has received I think it will end up being just another forgotten shounen anime. It's definitely a flop in my books. |

2 Bocchi the Rock has a rare kind of fan base. It's not usual anime watchers who watched a seasonal liked it and moved on, Bocchi the Rock has fans that are OBSESSED with it, so it's not like a random unpopular show outsold Chainsaw man, Bocchi is one of the groundbreaking anime with outstanding viewer influence and connection. The fan base is obsessed to the point where they literally BUY GUITARS without even knowing how to play them. There was a sale of Bocchi the Rock themed wireless headphones, they were already launched for sale 4 times and all of them were sold out, and more launches are coming. They buy everything. If the studio straight up opened up a donation fund, and they said "if you send money to us, that means you send money to Bocchi characters" the fans would unironically send them money. It's not just a seasonal show bro, it's an actual goldmine of money, which is rare to happen for a seasonal show and it's not fair to compare
3 "50+ year olds looking for profit" do not matter, studio Mappa are financing the adaptation themselves to avoid the production committee bullshit
Overall, I think you should become a journalist with your skill of making misleading conclusions. I do not believe that you make these statements unironically
