I'm a little let down by the season PV considering I liked Spring/Summer shows. So far on the watch list is Babylon and Psycho-Pass S2. No real expectations for the latter since S2 and the movie but I just hope there's 1x coherent ep.

 I cannot wrap my head around why a Japanese show for a Japanese audience would feel the need to include a cultural note, in Japanese, of the Japanese phenomenon of dogeza. Is it only included in the version distributed to foreign licensors, with the expectation that they subtitle the on-screen text?

Dogeza is sort of used as a low key meme sometimes, it'll frequently get a sort of hyped up explanation even in the novel versions of these shows. I guess the animators were trying to convey that?

it's a manga adaptation, so as long as that sells well i don't think the committee cares also there's probably character goods and a couple figures i'd assume

I think Kakegurui BD/DVD's also sold fairly poorly but, y'know, what with being licensed to Netflix and the manga no doubt selling fairly well (hell, I think it has more than one manga spin-off?), I'm betting it could more or less be considered a success.

someday... people will understand how the industry actually works. someday. I believe. if I didn't hate my voice I'd just make an entire youtube channel shouting into the void about this poo poo. But yeah fire force's BD sales don't matter much. The manga's sales are very good (it's selling better than Yaiba, for example) and the series achieved a noticeable spike when the anime started airing. So it's a success. There's a reason when actual industry people talk about failures due to low BD sales they talk about original anime like FlipFlappers, even though FlipFlappers sold a fair bit better on blu-ray than MHA or One Piece or something.

Endorph posted:noted failure my hero academia's BDs sell similar numbers. Wrong as usual, Watson. First, to state the obvious, sales tend to decline as a series goes on. With rare exceptions, volume 1 of season 1 is the peak for an anime's DVD sales. Comparing current MHA to Fire Force's opening numbers is comparing very different things. Second, even late into the third season with volume 4, MHA sold over 1,300 blu-rays and over 900 DVDs. Assuming I'm reading right and Fire Force's numbers are for DVD and blu-ray sales combined, that puts a pretty low selling volume of MHA at around twenty times Fire Force's sales. Those are pretty loving bad numbers. (Also, Flip Flappers's first volume was also outsold by the same MHA Blu-Ray. In case anyone was curious.) chiasaur11 fucked around with this message at 04:43 on Oct 4, 2019 |

The Honzuki/Bookworm anime has around 6/10 or 7/10 art+animation for me, but it's not too important, I think. The bulk of the series is talking anyway. The pacing seems decent, and it should be able to end in a good spot by the end of the season. My worry that it would be hypercompressed and cram 130 WN chapters into 26 episodes seems to be unfounded, although now this opens up the new problem that it'd take about 300 episodes to finish the story (which I haven't even finished myself), even with a lot of stuff truncated.

Patware posted:this The thing I find odd is that O Maidens somehow did worse. Trying to poke at the Japanese online reception it seemed to be at least reasonably popular, and the DVD sales estimates prior to release seemed pretty run-of-the-mill, so for it to flop like that kind of asks for an explanation. The only thing even resembling a guess that I have is that the last episode implying Kazusa and Izumi had sex might have caused some backlash among some of the usual disc purchase audience, but it feels kind of odd for that to be enough to drop a series's sales from low-to-average to record setting flop. (Granbelm apparently did even worse than either of them, but Granbelm didn't seem to ever connect with a large audience, so it hitting the bottom of the list is easier for me to understand.)

I watched the Cautious Hero and the jerk love pentagon (Oresuki) shows tonight and they’re both subversions of the usual, which is fine, since I like Konosuba and SNAFU and stuff, but did anyone else find the protagonist in Oresuki like too mean to his friend? Or is it a thing where literally calling someone a bitch isn’t that bad? He calls Cosmos a minx (in the subtitle) which doesn’t seem the same level. edit: Last season I finished Wasteful Days of High School Girls, Demon Girl Next Door, O Maidens, Astra, and Cop Craft, and dropped a bunch after a few eps, including Granbelm (i keep wanting to type granblem) - which everyone seems to really love? I might give it a shot. Demon Girl was the Kaguya-sama/Bocchi highlight of the season for me, but the 11th episode of Wasteful Days was really really touching and funny, and so I’m loathe to pick between either as a favorite. This season is a lot! I’m going to at least try: Cautious Hero Oresuki Assassin’s Pride MHA Dispassionate gods (but I feel like I need to rewatch season 2 or something it’s been so long) No Guns Life Long titled fantasy police show (riding off of that Cop Craft momentum) Rifle Is Beautiful (there were 2 shows about airsoft a few years back, this seems like a natural progression) And I’ll keep watching Fire Force and Vinland every so often. wolfs fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Oct 4, 2019 |

I am fully willing to believe that Japanese anime fans are just as lovely about ladies boning down as American gamers are about gay people existing. Not enough to matter for the bottom line, but enough to cause a lot of grief for the people involved in production.
