the first season is more popular because it aired on crunchyroll what are they thinking airing it on amazon which is an unpopular streaming site among anime fans

sad this will just be a hidden gem so thoughts? but i get it crunchyroll will censor this a lot if they air it but still

for those who says it doesn't matter where an anime is airing
it 100% DOES matter where its airing because when shows like heavenly delusion undead unluck and sandland came to disney+ they were dead on arrival
its same with new panty & stocking and CITY the animation on amazon prime
as much as I hate crunchyroll its a fact that most of the P&S and nichijou fans are on crunchyroll

While it’s not as popular as it could be, I wouldn’t really say it’s unpopular either. Just as MAL numbers don’t mean everything, neither does twitter’s, but I’m constantly seeing posts with 20-30k+ likes about each new episode, and the fan art has been popping off too.

S1 was on funmation when it came-out. I would hold off and see the sales figures before make a judgment about popularity since many anime get popular then deflate within months.

it's unpopular because it's not for children. my measurement of success is that they can produce shit like this and not risk their employment.

im fine with this level of reach. what im not fine is the amazon exclusive global release, i agree it should be on other platforms but not really because of reach but just for accessibility and diversity of subtitles.

@Ronninn Agree with this, even with the level of exposure psg has right now you already have the usual crowd on xitter throwing a fuss. Better it stays more niche.

Anybody want to sign my petition to have season 2 on Crunchyroll, let them take the shows's license from Amazon, and bring back the original voice cast to make the English dub more superior to the Japanese version after it ends its run on Amazon Prime Video?

I have Amazon Prime, but if I ever watch this show, it will be on my go to piracy site. I don't trust Amazon official subs with this kind of humour.

the Amazon dub for both PSG and City the Animation are excellent, Crunchyroll could have been a hit or miss

It should have been on Crunchyroll instead of Amazon Prime Video. Besides, I hate the new voice cast of season 2 and I prefer the old voice cast of season 1. The replacement voice actors commissioned for the Pixelogic dub is inferior, while the original voice actors of season 1 commissioned for the Funimation dub is superior. For example, Courtney Lin's voice of Panty sounds like a tomboy when compared to Jamie Marchi, and Cristina Vee's voice of Stocking is a squeaky high-pitched tone when compared to Monica Rial.

Only chance for it to be dubbed by old cast is Funishit licencing blurays for physical release.

Dunno, it was comfy because real fans find a way to watch it, now if it didn't enough money in Japan because of Amazon then yeah that sucks.

I mean, I can definitely see overall visibility being an issue because, at least as far as I'm aware, it's not people's go-to anime site. Outside of Crunchyroll, I think most people think of Netflix or Hulu first tbh.

Which is a shame, because imo Amazon has some golden exclusives depending on what you follow. Personally, outside of NPS&G, I use it to keep up with Hazbin Hotel and the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan live action installments (though the At The Confessional movie is still unavailable despite announcing global release for some reason). Also it's been a really helpful choice for streaming older Pokemon seasons I've wanted to catch up on. And I think I've been wanting to look into Invincible for a while too. But outside of the more hardcore Pokemon fans and Jojo fans interested in Rohan live action, idk how much overlap that is with most anime fans...

Though I'm not plugged into social media much or anything, so it's possible S2 is getting more eyeballs than I'm imagining...

@MoonSpider Happy to see I'm not the only one aware of the At The Confessional movie being missing from Prime lol, it's only available in Japan as far as I know. I actually emailed Anime News Network but got no concrete answer. Guess we'll just have to wait.

I don't think CR will air something like Panty & Stocking nowadays lol, they are more focused to cater to casuals. I think it's great that we are atleast getting the uncensored version on Prime Video.

@Temperanced crunchyroll didn't get P&S because amazon bid higher for exclusivity. they have uncensored ecchi on crunchyroll.

@Plopop Didn't just in Spring season CR switched to censored version of Takamine San mid-season. As far I know CR delayed and uploaded censored version in EP - 3,5 and more I think. CR does have uncensored ecchi anime's that they have acquired in past but they are not trustable who knows they might change to censored version mid season if casuals make up enough noise.
