More projects without a) broadcasting slot restrictions (duration, number of episodes), b) need to sell merchandise, manga, movie tickets, ect. c) need to look conventional/tell an easily digestible story would be good.

Fate/Stay Night Illya route

Illya already has her own route. It's called "Heaven's Feel" and it's very good. If anyone needs a new route it's Rin, who is not developed in any of the 3 existing routes.

But if it were up to me, we'd make Fate/Prototype.
@Lucifrost
I'd say Heaven's Feel is more of a Sakura route????

More anime originals, less adaptations. 12 episodes is enough time to tell a decent story. But not enough if you're trying to cram a 100+ hour VN or a 20 volume manga into it. It will certainly need a sequel or three but that probably wont happen unless the show turns out to be super popular and profitable. And even if it does get a sequel, you have to wait YEARS for it.

But yeah, the 12 episodes thing is a problem. Can we get back to 24 episodes being the standard? Considering the slow pace of a lot of source material, more episodes would help a lot.

If we are serious, there is a lot that can be said on this topic. There are a lot of problems with the ways things function in the industry, what is being made, how and why, etc. So it's impossible to go into it here.

But to keep it simple, I will mention one thing. Anime needs better script writers. Anime scripts are very weak. They've always been weak but they have been getting progressively weaker in recent years. It feels like there are no good writers who are capable of making good well written stories and write good dialogue. That is most evident in original shows which are mostly bad these days. It also doesn't help that some old writers who produced great originals back in a day have seemingly fallen off (Metallic Rouge, Yurei Deco). It feels like today are no people who could write another show on the levels of Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Ergo Proxy, Texhnolyze, Lain or Dennou Coil.
Some of those are still in the industry but they've either fallen off or don't get opportunities to make works anymore (this one is connected with other problems).

So what I would like to see more of is producers finding and investing in promising writers, give them opportunities to write great works, bring good writers from outside the industry, and so on.

Similar things can be said for directors.

@this_shit_again I can't be bothered to find all the topics and it's pointless anyway because the messages got cleared or the entire topic deleted, but I have observed most lolisho shitshows this year and mods only did something if the topic:
  • was specifically about lolisho -> topic deletion
  • or turned into a lolisho fight -> message clearing
@Zarutaku That has generally not been the experience of other users.. Their experience is that moderators are more likely to censor threads and posts that are critical of that type of content.. And less likely to censor threads and posts that are affirmative of that type of content.. In cases where affirmative threads are closed, it's usually due to critical views being expressed..

Again, if you're confident in your claim, you should have no problem providing evidence that moderators act consistently in the way you've described.. Preferably in a thread of your own making..

@epidemia78 Too bad that's not a realistic business model. Even if you want to make more originals, you need to make enough off adaptions to be able to take the risk of making something no one has a prior connection to.

I agree with the 12 episode thing, but it really only irritates me when the source material has been done for years. Do the newer Bleach episodes really need to be split up into 3 or 4 parts? I get it's probably to keep the animation quality more consistent, or something along those lines..But at the same time, the manga ended back in 2016. The anime could have been finished by now. I can only assume there was a good reason for the wait.

In case of lolisho specific topics it doesn't matter if they are affirmative or critical, they get deleted every time someone reports them, because such topics are against the anime discussion rules.

In case of lolisho messages it also doesn't matter if they are affirmative or critical, the reason why critical posts are more often edited by mods is because they are usually inflammatory or insulting, which is against the rules too.

Also if you demand hard evidence from other people to back up their claim, you should first provide such evidence to back up your own.

@epidemia78 Ehhh...I'm not going to act like I know exactly how streaming services decide what gets continued and what gets axed, but I'm pretty sure money is a factor there too. Unless there's some contractual obligation to finish a series for a given platform. Again, I'm not all that familiar with how streaming handles all that.

@this_shit_again All the topics in the post you linked are already locked, so that disproves your original claim of the mods not acting on these topics.
About rule violating messages getting either edited or deleted is up to the mods to decide, but doesn't make much difference and is beside the point.
I can only advise to carefully read the forum rules: It's forbidden to create lolisho specific topics and they will get deleted or locked if reported, but it's not forbidden to mention lolisho in general. Users are allowed to mention it, but those who criticize it usually write disrespectful and provocative messages that often trigger shitshows and qualify as rule violations, so they obviously are more often subject to mod edits or deletion. Thus your observation about critical messages being edited or deleted more often is correct, but the reason for that isn't lolisho itself, as mentioned before.

They could choose to adapt shorter stories that don't need any more than 12 episodes.

here's my ideas

- Pay the artists better
- return to physical distribution, as that allows for more money to flow directly with a few less middlemen
- allow space for cheaper, shorter, "worse" shows to exist as a way to allow newer talents to test themselves, learn, and get paid at the same time
- more robots
- allow space for incredibly niche genres to still have content (See point #3 for the "how")

While isekai is repetitive and battle shonen are popular, increasing the variety of genres can attract more audience. More mystery, private detective stories, and seinen could add depth and cater to different tastes.

Focus on well-developed plots and character arcs. This includes avoiding overused tropes and clichés, and instead, creating unique and compelling narratives.

Investing in high quality animation quality can significantly improve the viewing experience for anime fans who prefers anime like demon slayer.. If this fluid motion is available for more genre of anime then they'll be better appreciated..
detailed beautiful backgrounds for slice of life anime like seen natsume youjinchou, yuru camp etc for every slice of life anime, and expressive character designs, enough of the generic male character design..

Introducing characters from various backgrounds and culture like Machiko and hachin, 91 days, also don't make every foreign character blonde..
different personalities like more dominant female characters and less moe blob can make stories more engaging... Most Male Anime fans are M..

Innovative Art Styles: Experimenting with different art styles and techniques can make anime visually distinct but I would mind if they deviate from the traditional anime style .

Also Ensuring that episodes and story arcs are well-paced can keep viewers interested without feeling rushed like Chainsaw man or dragged out demon slayer.

Music and Sound Design more variation in opening and ending songs High-quality soundtracks and sound effects will enhance the emotional impact of scenes and overall immersion

Balancing adaptations of popular manga/light novels with original content to keep the industry fresh and innovative..

No more fantasy video games adaptations, they are other kinds of games you know..

@JimbobJoe the fact that the closest thing to an interesting discussion on dead dead demon's dededede destruction was about Kadode's discussion and it felt like everyone agrees but wants to think the others disagree is a disgrace
@Guilmon1 unfortunately due to work and other obligations I don’t have much time to stream anime so I have nothing of value to say about that show, that and till it’s mention on this thread I hadn’t heard of it. Which adds to my point about too damn much every season, though I do feel rather old for not keeping up with the kids these days.

@Otakupervert890 thats averaging 3 anime per season thats still low right? compared to 40-50 anime they release each season with lots of them isekai they said
@deg it's not low it's on par with the average. Next season have 7 isekai for 1 original. My advice for you it's actually time you dig out seasonal chart season by season shows by shows you see that a lot of what you think it's actually wrong in reality when you break down the numbers and by that I am not saying that they don't do adaptation or that adaptation or not in the biggest quantity but the model of production committee definitely allow for both to exist and back then the ratio was the same as today just different schedules and a different paradigm it's why cowboy Bebop or code Geass got 25-26 episodes while original today get 12. Different times different do over.

- Learn to actually allow more criticism and stop pandering to certain demographics. If everything can be stopped by just a few words from minor communities, then anime would never reach greatness again. It's done by the creators, not us. The only reason we resonate with it is the creator's capacity to reinvoke that sense of memory within.

  5. Mature romance anime/couples.


Just a little rant, but I do not understand people who say less of X. If there is a lot of X, that means it's profitable, and that means there is a sizable group of people who enjoy it. Why would you want to take away their enjoyment? If you don't like X, you can just not watch it.
