symbv said: But the person you responded to (Amiluhur) already said he is no KyoAni fan and usually does not like KyoAni show. So what were you trying to prove? To preempt those "KyoAni fanboys" who seem to reside more in your imagination (or some forums you visited in the past) but whom we have seen little sign of showing up in this thread or this board so far? Besides, I also commented who KyoAni found some good way to achieve commercial success, does this mean by that I am automatically a "bandwagon fan"? This is why your tone and words give people impression that you are not just a skeptic but downright a hater, which only stopped people (and not just the real KyoAni fanboys) from listening to you when you start to talk about KyoAni. I don't really think of it that way and find that a kind of defensive reaction but okay if that's the way you want to look at it so be it. I don't see what skepticism has to do with any of this either, I just happen to have a preference here. |

Kaioshin_Sama said: I remember once in the past you said you are not a hater but a skeptic of KyoAni. This is why I raised the subject of skepticism, and I want to point out that the one you set ("anything BUT KyoAni on top of BD chart !!") just makes you sound like a hater, not a skeptic.I don't really think of it that way and find that a kind of defensive reaction but okay if that's the way you want to look at it so be it. I don't see what skepticism has to do with any of this either, I just happen to have a preference here. Takuan_Soho said: That is in the original light novel so it can't be helped, can it? As I explained in the KamiNai sub-board, the first volume of the light novel was supposed to be one-off in a LN competition, but it got extended and the author decided not to raise this Humbert guy from the dead but instead focused on the journey of growth for Aii without Humbert. I think the main problem of the series is much much deeper than that. Almost all the arcs were rushed and things unexplained. As fans of the LN pointed out, even the first arc (with Humbert in it) had a bunch of things being rushed or omitted which could lead to people getting confused or a wrong understanding of what happened. And that is already supposed to be a better executed arc. Some arcs, like the prison school, actually got people to yawn and said "what the heck? that's it?" at the endings. Personally to me, it is one of the worst executed (and adapted) series in the summer cour, and while the sales figure is poorer than I expected, I never saw sales of over 1k coming as I followed the show over the season. I think the primary reason is: don't kill your protagonist (driver of action) and strongest character off in the 3rd episode unless you have a stronger and better character ready by no later than the 5th. Takuan_Soho said: Drama can still sell but it needs to be executed well. KamiNai failed in this aspect and it failed even to get the LN fans to support it. So its fate was sealed. Plus I think we all need to always keep in mind that drama's just do not sell well to the animation demographic, as such our expectation of success for such series needs to reset to a lower number. Few shows sell more than 5,000 discs and of these shows, the vast majority are light hearted shows full of action, comedy or romance. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
murazrai said: Those anime you mentioned all share same characteristic: They are all not the usual midnight anime that otaku pay the closest attention, yet somehow they still get their attention because of various reasons: Gundam (though the anime is not really targeted otaku as primary audience), NHK anime, Shounen manga adaptation in a midnight timeslot, and well Aikatsu (which like PreCure never really aims at otaku as target audience). They all get talked about in their own thread in 2ch and from what I read those who watch it find all of them quite good. Gundam Build Fighter even got quite a bit of "better than expected" comments. And the funny thing that came out of the Gundam BF thread is how many comments are about how hot and sexy the mother is LOL This remark leaves me wonder what are the general first impressions towards Gundam Build Fighters, Log Horizon, Yowamushi Pedal and Aikatsu! 2 in Japan, then. I bet that Gaist Crusher is largely ignored in 2ch even by kids' anime standards. And you are right, Gaist Crusher is pretty much "air" (ignored) in 2ch. |

symbv said: As said in another thread, the key thing is SymphogearG v1 sold 9829 BD + 1153 DVD = 10,982 !!! As comparsion vol.1 of season 1 sold 4454 in the first week. Also not many singles this week which is indicative of the break in between anime cours. Album on the other hand is dominated by IdolM@ster and Free, but there are also two from Strike Witches.... Wow im so happy for Symphogear G, it beat the others by a huge landslide. Whats even more amazing is that the sales has only been 1 week! yet its beating the other sales. Glad so many people out there love it aside from me. This is my first time seeing the sales of Vol1 of Season 1 of symphogear but wow even that figure is very high compared to the sales right now. though im sadden by the fact that Kamisama no Nichiyoubi sold so few cause i think that show is beautiful both in the story and the animation. |

That complete and utter inability to accept that some people just don't want them to always be on top or considered the absolute pinnacle with every season and that sales results can be an enabler. I've never seen this sort of thing with any other fandom. Just so defensive and protective of the studios image as sacrosanct. So what now I have to wish for them to succeed ahead of all others otherwise I'm a hater? When did saying I don't care if a show is successful I'd just like to see anything else other than it top the charts make someone a hater or is this only because Kyoani is the subject here? This is honestly kind of ridiculous and again the sort of thing that makes the Kyoani fandom so annoying and laughable to me. Sorry but now you're really going to have a time convincing me you aren't showing some form of favoritism towards the studio here. Anyway pleasantly surprised to see Gundam BF getting some preorders where AGE never did. It seemed like people were against AGE right away (I remember a producer saying they'd never seen a Gundam series fail to make any sort of gain like they'd seen with AGE before and knew something must have been up) judging by the mass flood of negative review scores and low chart positions while this is at least being given a chance to make something of itself so that's a nice sign at least. |

| Excluding this one (because we don't have monogatari's sales yet) when was the last time a KyoAni series even got top sales of the season? edit: K-on!! barely scraped it over Angel Beats! in Spring 2010. That's 3 years and counting without a KyoAni series being the top seller. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
Kaioshin_Sama said: Well, my challenge to you is that you claimed to be just a skeptic but in fact you take every chance to present an image of unconditional hatred against KyoAni and its fans (you call them fanboys but more and more you just seem to treat anybody who takes just some liking of KyoAni's works as "fanboy") even though the original post was not even written by a KyoAni fan much less fanboy. If you agree with the description that I have given, that you just hate KyoAni, its works and anybody who likes its shows and your claim that you are just a skeptic is nothing of the kind, then I have nothing to say, and would just accept that you will act absolutely unreasonable whenever KyoAni is brought up to trigger your hate. And I ask you again why does it matter so much that I not want to see this studio not always succeed ahead of all others. It's again this sort of thing that makes me annoyed by the Kyoani fandom. That complete and utter inability to accept that some people just don't want them to always be on top or considered the absolute pinnacle with every season and that sales results can be an enabler. Kaioshin_Sama said: I don't know who are you arguing against, but so far all I can see are people who like KyoAni more than you do (which is easy to be) and you classify all of them as part of KyoAni fanm which your avowed but imaginary enemy. To be honest, if you had said the same thing against Shaft for example (I want any other show but this Shaft thing on top of BD chart) I would have said basically the same thing. So better forget about your KyoAni persecution complex thought. This has to do with KyoAni only because you happened to have some particular problem (mostly imaginary) against KyoAni "fandom". I've never seen this sort of thing with any other fandom. Just so defensive and protective of the studios image as sacrosanct. Kaioshin_Sama said: You are a hater when you said "I wish any show would come out on top but not KyoAni". Just go and ask anyone, even those who don't know anime, what it means if someone said "I wish anybody wins this but xxx" and whether that means he hates xxx. It is this simple. So what now I have to wish for them to succeed ahead of all others otherwise I'm a hater? hen did saying I don't care if a show is successful I'd just like to see anything else other than it top the charts make someone a hater or is this only because Kyoani is the subject here? Kaioshin_Sama said: KyoAni fandom? Me? Now you are being absolutely ridiculous and laughable. I have admired works of many studios and I don't spare much thought about which studio makes a certain work if I am calling it weak or flawed. KyoAni has its success and clearly it is because it did things that got people to buy its products. How much of such thinking means favoritism?? And when they did something that is less than inspiring, I called it just like I did for works from other studios - Tamako Market is one example. On the other hand, you just jump at every chance to rant against KyoAni and KyoAni's fans even when the fanboys are nowhere to be seen. I hope you can at least think calmly and clearly because otherwise you are grouping a whole lot of anime watchers as KyoAni fandom. And instead of favoritism by those people, why not spare some thought about your all-too-zealous anti-favoritism?? Why not ask yourself why you have to jump to some anti-KyoAni anti-KyoAni-fan rant just because someone wants to say something positive about KyoAni, even if that someone clearly said he is not a fan of KyoAni?? Who is being ridiculous??This is honestly kind of ridiculous and again the sort of thing that makes the Kyoani fandom so annoying and laughable to me. Sorry but now you're really going to have a time convincing me you aren't showing some form of favoritism towards the studio here. |

Pretty impressive numbers. Looks like the door for a third season is wide open. They should hold live events like shows like Macross Frontier did, but I guess Macross is far more popular. |
| ^^^ Symphogear G volume 1 _did_ come with an event ticket lottery application for "Symphogear Live"! I can get read the details if you like, normally I just ignore them sadly as I can't go... |
| Symphogear #1...I just am part of that minority I guess. |
| Fuuuuuck. Uchouten Kazoku is below the manabi line. |
 |
| Yeah, it's a shame about Uchoten Kazoku. I have no idea if the series gets more outside the BD/DVD sales (I hope so), but can't imagine anyone wouldn't be tempted to buy it. *6, 1,683 **1,683 Cossette no Shouzou --- *7, 1,079 *,*14,386 Usavich Season 5 So, they made a movie out of the three OVA and released it in BD only? Are there changes to the story, does anyone know? Curious how far the things went with Usavich, but it's good to see a short series selling well. |

Don't expect others to pony up the dough for your shows. Last time I checked, I haven't been watching anything for free. Being glad about shows selling well is exactly that illogical if you don't buy anything, according to your logic. The reason Uchoten is not selling can't be explained with me complaining, either. The only reason I believe it should be discussed, could be its appeal to the Japanese audience itself. Whether I buy it or not, is a different issue - I am not obliged to buy it marketed this way. |

I could feed myself for a month at the cost of two BDs. It's only natural to feel disappointment when something you like isn't doing well, there's nothing wrong with that. What you should be complaining about is that people here don't understand how the market works and Japanese' reasons behind not buying the BDs. |
Hahalollawl said: Oh definitely. You can comment all you want. It's just the complaining that gets annoying.

That and you don't have to buy the discs to support a show. You can buy the novel/manga/cds and other merchandise.

My earlier post was just about people complaining that their show didn't sell, then they put the blame on the Japanese buyers for buying the wrong show and how their tastes suck. Well, last I checked anime is aimed at, *gasp*, Japanese viewers so clearly shows will be made with their tastes in mind. |

But I see what you're complaining about, I wouldn't blame it on Japanese viewers for having "bad taste" if they don't contribute to the sales of my favorite shows. In fact, I'm only sad that they may not enjoy the anime series (which I really liked) enough to buy the series. |

| http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/anime/anime_english_subtitles.html cdjapan even has a list of all anime with English subs. All Blurays from Japan will also play in North America, region free discs will play anywhere obviously. No money is the only valid excuse but don't tell the Japanese what to make unless you are willing to buy it. Just reminded that Coppelion will have English subs. And is also region free. No excuses. |

I understand that you can support a show by other means, but I guess for me I would only want to spend money on things that matter to me which would be manga and discs but not other merchandise. But I see what you're complaining about, I wouldn't blame it on Japanese viewers for having "bad taste" if they don't contribute to the sales of my favorite shows. In fact, I'm only sad that they may not enjoy the anime series (which I really liked) enough to buy the series. Liking a anime and buying it are completely different things. You can easily like any type of anime , but it is hard for male otakus to buy anime without cute girls or for female otakus to buy anime without cute/cool guys That's why people often say you have to buy them if you want to complain. Okay, the Japanese non-otaku audience doesn't have "bad taste", it doesn't have money ^_^ Thanks for the Coppelion info :] |
zellami said: It is just the OVAs all got put in one BD. This is because, if I remember correctly, this anime only got DVD release back then.*6, 1,683 **1,683 Cossette no Shouzou So, they made a movie out of the three OVA and released it in BD only? Are there changes to the story, does anyone know? |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

Coverage of 'Symphogear Live' is not currently listed for any of the 6 discs: http://symphogear-g.com/product/ But if the concert is good they could release it as a separate item at a later date. It should have Nana Mizuki after all. --- On another topic, IS2 volume 1's official site page finally lists episode 1!!! http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/is2/disc/ |
