| It can't be all fujo money. Where did all those anime buying people came from? |
 |
| Lets see...a gag anime that was made in the 60s returns. /thread |
| A selection of great seiyuu. Not really surprising. |
 |
| Statistics can be deceiving. Yama no Susume sold better than Angel Beats! (partly because Angel Beats! is anime original, but moe anime are generally more popular in Japan than they are here). Also, apparently Aikatsu is making more money than One Piece and it is anime original while One Piece is manga based. |

| Both are bad , so i am not surprised.Probably because osmatsu san is not that long and boring. |
 |
Because some seiyuu actually give life to the character they're voicing. Ishida Akira and Tomokazu Seki for example. The seiyuu who voiced the six Matsuno brothers are prolific and talented so it's not a surprise. |

| Most likely a lot of Japanese adults who watched the original in their childhood suddenly found a reason to watch an anime in the current generation again It's like if Cory in the House were to make a long-awaited comeback in the year 2045 |

plasma38 said: can't understand why people care about seiyuus this is as stupid as watching movies for actors, altho they have no influence of the quality of the movie Well seeing as one of the things that separates an anime from other story-telling mediums - namely manga and light novels - is the audio, it's incredibly simple why the seiyuus actually add a lot to a particular show. If you think about it for even a second, it's really not that difficult. Having seiyuus who bring the characters to life and are enthusiastic with their voice acting is quite obviously going to be better than those who're crappy and do a half job with it all. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |

| Let's see...

plasma38 said: this is as stupid as watching movies for actors, altho they have no influence of the quality of the movie While I feel that directors and writers are the most important parts to a movie actors do make a difference. Such as the case with Back to the Future where Eric Stoltz was originally Marty McFly which they decided he was miscast (he was to serious) and bought in Michael J. Fox. Also in a lot of comedic movies a lot of it can be improv. So, in the case the actor has a huge amount to do with the movie. Or it has been suggested in the original Star Wars a lot of dialogue was improved by the actors taking liberties with the script. So yeah, I think some actors can really make or break a part and some actors are the best part of a movie. I saw Prometheus and Michael Fassbender as David was the best thing about the whole movie to me had it been a different actor the role could have fallen flat. |

there you go OP I answered your question But seriously I would guess social media played a very big part in its popularity, just check popular JP art sites like Pixiv, there's such an absurd amount of fanart. And yeah, it is a meme series which is how many of its jokes spread its popularity, not to mention ludicrous quantities of merchandise and promotion from major stores like Animate. |

You folks haven't even watched any of the shows you're criticizing yet How exactly am I criticizing it? That sentence implies that meme shows are bad, and since you consider Osomatsu-san to be a meme show, you consider it to be bad. Is it not a meme show? No, meme shows are shows like Inferno Cop, Sekkou Boys, Detroit Metal City and Saint Onii-sama. Osomatsu-san isn't a meme show, and that is something that you would have known if you had actually tried to watch it |

Osomatsu-san is anime original. There is manga adaption of the anime + the original osomatsu-kun is fantastcly childish in my opinion , in terms of comedy. |

The manga adaptation has none of the contents from the anime and "osomatsu-kun" was aimed at children back when it was serialized unlike "osomatsu-san". Next time check the series before you make foolish statements. |

| Fujoshis probably have more money than unemployed middle-aged men. |
 |
Female fans in Japan are always known for preferring DVD over BD. That's why most female favored anime have better DVD sales. Doubt Osamtsu can beat Monogatari in merchandise either. It only started recently. Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post. |

| The rich taste cabal and their wallets, curse them! All the earnings will be spent on pachinko, anyhow, Monogatari is ultimately the more sustainable show by virtue of that vice. |
 |
| One word: Fujoshis. (Well, more than one word because of 30 character limit, but you get my point. :p) |
BLmatsu said: I have to disagree here... in regards to Steins;Gate anyway. Sure Miyano was great as Okabe, but I think it was the anime/story/direction that made S;G great/widely liked. (Fyi, I watched S;G when it aired and most ppl dropped the show before the halfway mark, it only became popular after it finished airing.) While I agree the story was quite good, I felt the show would not have been popular or even a commercial success if it wasn't for the hard work put in by the seiyuu. The story isn't easy to decipher. |
|
| I don't really know -It's bad -The comedy is boring -Annoying, uninteresting (and absolutely not unique) characters -No references -No gags -No Fujo Bait, so Fujoshi would rather prefer burning alive than watching Osomatsu -The Seiyuu cast is the worst one I've seen in my life -There are not heartwarming/breaking moments -It was "adapted" from a very old manga, yet it doesn't feel nostalgic to middle-aged men . . . . . . Oh wait |
| Let's see... - It has an universal appeal. Not gender specific like most Anime - It's nostalgic to people who grew up with it - Simple art style, but is incredibly rude by Japanese standards. Kinda like South Park, which was also a big hit in Japan. - Has tons of comedy genres mixed into one show. Slapstick, dark, verbal, suggestive, random, parody, etc. I doubt it's all fujoshi. Probably the DVDs, while male fans go all blu-ray. The show deserves all the sales |

| @Xenocrisi did u just call a guy who has 24 10/10s and barely watched 100 anime an elitist lmfao i think the word ur looking for is pleb |
| It was geared towards the fujoshi who buy DVDs on a grand scale if the anime is to their liking. It also had heavy marketing, like near LL tier heavy marketing. |
