It has a big line up of popular male seiyuus, which fujoshis are often obsessed with.

The show also makes tons of tongue in cheek gay jokes in its more recent episodes to appeal to its fanbase.

Oso-san killin' it :^)
/laughs at all the people not watching it/
Also, you need to watch at least 3 episodes to see the appeal. The first is probably the most appealing to mainstream audience while the normal comedy scenes need some acquired taste.

Also Starmyu is selling well! Nice.

It's a comedy gag Anime with a handful of scenes that would pander to fujoshis. Nothing more.

Live concert would imply singing
Seiyuu concert is usually just the seiyuus getting together and talking at a concert hall

By handful, I mean compared to 100+ skits, there's only less than 10 I would consider pandering to girls.

Yeah, pretty much. It's not really a fujoshi show. The comedy isn't "BL" comedy, it's just pure comedy. The voice acting is one of the quirks of this show because they're all so lively and distinct.

It panders to fujoshi as much as Gintama panders to fujoshi.

Fujoshi just mean female anime fans, not necessarily yaoi shipper.

No, a fujoshi does not just mean a female anime fan. Fujoshi refers to a "rotten" female, which can only mean a female who is into BL (sexual or non-sexual content between two males). A female anime fan can be a fujoshi or may not be a fujoshi, so calling a female fan a fujoshi can be offensive to them if they are not fujoshi themselves.

Bottom line is, females can't be fujoshi if they are not into BL.

I know it's definition and what it's associated with. But I feel like over time the rotten girl association with it is phased out and it starting to just be used as ''female otaku''.

I mean there are probably some female fans that like some undertones in those shows but they don't necessarily like actual BL.

I don't exactly LIKE the undertones but I don't mind it either. I find it funny sometimes. You could say I like friendship between males. But yeah, Emerson's point still stands.

Just a silly question... I can know when a manga or a light novel is selling well or bad.... however, I'm clueless when it's about dvd and blurays.... so... how many blurays and dvds a show needs to sell to.....

1º pay itself.
2º to get a chance for a new season.
3º is selling so well that it's almost sure that it'll get a new season...

Thanks guys, sorry for the bother...

Iirc, 5k bluray is already a profit for a pretty high budget show like Kekkai Sensen, Gakuen toshi Asterisk or OPM, while.a show with an even higher budget like SAO or UBW might need more disc sales to make profit.

Even if Osomatsu turns into a long running anime, chances are it'd end before Naruto...
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Common for shows which are bought by more female anime fans. Many female fans still just have DVD players. Also common when the event ticket is more important than the anime, if you can use multiple tickets then you might as well get the cheaper DVD version for multiple copies.
