season 2 possible?

Ratchetdude231 said:
Doubt it. From my understanding this show bombed in Japan which is a shame because it was so good.

It's Madhouse so uhm yeah except people are screaming at their face for a 2nd season, it won't happen. Not that I'm not pissed off 'cause of that though. It was the best show of the season in my list.

I was satisfied with only one season though

Hylianticipated said:


How are you satisfied? It just barely started getting good and so much is still left to be explained. This story has the potential to have at least two more season just by filling in blanks.

So much trigger!! Much trigger!!! To the people who say that this series have potential and should have more seasons! Are you even supporting the series financially like buying their products like manga, DVD/BD, LN and etc? If yes I feel your pain but if not! Then you have no right to demand and you people are being rude, its like you are saying to the producers that waste more money for my own benefits. Like I don't pay or everything but you should make more because it has potential... I don't want to argue but please stop this kind of thinking, yes the season 2 have 1-5% chance of being produce but rather than shit talking the studio, the action should be where and how could I buy and support the series? Not by saying that this anime and that anime should not have season 2 because it is shit, it just mean it has a big fan base....

Orange got the least sales but got a sequel.

So I don't see why Aldermin won't

Zefyris said:

Orange is a manga, it sells far more than novels. And that was a movie sequel, not a season 2.

Baaaan said:


Those results made me puke ¬¬ Anime studios need another way of getting money asap. Relying only on BD sells is plain stupidity

Aurelius88 said:

Seriously, are there no commercials in Japan? Here physical sales are an afterthought. Also they shoot themselves in the foot with their pricing, I've only bought anime on sale.

As much as it sucks in situations like this, I still find anime's reliance on physical sales as a measure of a series' success far preferable to the idiotic hell that is the US system of using the ancient Nielsen Rating system for the same purpose.

Physical sales at least offer a fairly direct correlation to the popularity and financial success of a series - given how many anime run late-night, and, in comparison to even the most obscure of shows in the west, how incredibly niche they are (No American studio would ever bother producing shows that generate so little profit, regardless of a solid rate of return on investment due to low production costs), the income from commercials in their time-block likely barely covers the airtime. Physical sales therefore constitute the majority of revenue generated. It sucks when a series just doesn't generate the degree of revenue to justify a sequel, but at least the conclusion is generally grounded in hard facts, unpleasant though they may be.

The US alternative is to use the ratings by the Nielsen Company to estimate viewership, and use that as a basis for the cost of airing commercials during a show's time-slot, thus determining the revenue it generates. It is similar in that both measures of success are intrinsically tied to revenue generated, and, more importantly, the profit generated after all costs have been accounted for. But how that revenue is determined is very different:

Whereas a DVD/BD purchase can be seen as an obvious indicator of the purchaser's enjoyment of the series in addition to being a direct unit of measure of revenue, the value of the commercial slots in a US show, and the corresponding revenue, are not determined by any direct measure of a show's actual success or popularity.

Instead, ratings generated by Nielsen, using a non-random sample group of 35,000 households and individuals carefully selected to be both representative pf both their local region and the total population of US television viewers. Each participating household has a Nielsen Meter attached to their TV that records their viewing behavior; until just a few years ago, individual viewing behavior, used to estimate more specific demographics, such as popularity amongst 18-24 year old Hispanic females or 55-65 year old Caucasian males, was determined by a paper diary that these individuals filled out every day and sent in once a month. A few years back, they finally entered the 21st century and began slowly replacing the diaries with Personal Preference Meters (PPMs), which they also used as an excuse to increase their official sample size - since they were now accurately measuring the viewing behavior of individuals in addition to households, those individuals could now count as independent samples, allowing them to claim an almost doubled sample size.

Still, even with their new "larger" sample group, it is entirely made up of households and individuals specifically chosen for their demographic background who voluntarily agreed to have their TV habits measured. In other words, a group subject to severe sampling bias, far from a representative sample of the US population. And, going by Nielsen's 2015 estimate of roughly 116 million TVs in the US, every individual member of their sample group is each considered to accurately represent the TV preferences of 3,314 non-sampled households and individuals.

Anyone with even a remote understanding of statistics can tell you that is a load of crap. When Nielsen tried to expand into Scotland, they were openly dismissed after a testing period due to the astounding inaccuracy of their results. And yet, the success and failure of effectively every TV show in the US continues to be determined entirely by the numbers the folks at Nielsen pull out of their butt based on what their merry group of 35 thousand end up watching.

As such, I'm pretty happy with how success is measured in anime-land - my favorite series may routinely end up with no hope of a sequel while true junk easily lands its third or fourth 2-cour continuation, but at least I know that its mainly due to a majority of people born with no taste; in the US, shows are essentially renewed or cancelled based on what the Magic 8-Ball told them.

Anyone with even a remote understanding of statistics can tell you that this is how the statistic works. You take a small sample and apply it to the whole. Usually exit polls before the election have just a few percents of difference. The better your sample, the better is the result. I can assume that US system is not perfect, but quite accurate. On the other hand, judjing by BDs is judjing by the fan base. So unless the show has kawaii girls and boys or shiny robots it won't sell well. Japan really need to start thinking out of the box or we are going to lose more and more of the good shows.

I doubt it since the anime is from mad house which is known for not making any season 2

why are people still responding to this post, i had my hopes when the show came out and made the question, but somehow people show up to this post every 4 months and reply to 2 year old posts.
