LibrarianCroaker posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBIeavntc5U I think a problem with this channel is how it is kind of running out of obvious things to do so the builds are getting more esoteric which also means there are a lot of steps where you're just left in the cold as to why they had to happen or what they're actually doing.

Endorph posted:the greatest anime industry story ive ever heard is the director of the big o being really obsessed with the fact that some random american anime industry guy had a big yard at his house, cause that isnt a thing at all in most japanese cities, you have to go really out into the sticks for people to have huge yards to themselves, so he asked to see his yard and it was like an old farmhouse so he had a tractor and everything so the director of the big o asked to ride his tractor, and then he got on it and yelled BIG TRACTOR, SHOWTIME and drove it around for like an hour. lmfao that's amazing

Viewtiful Jew posted:This video about that one horror game Bendy has kept showing up in my recommendations all week now and I'm glad I finally clicked on it, because it actually answered something for me. A while back now, but I watched this video and ended up falling down a rabbit hole instead of sleeping like a well adjusted person. Is there a particular term for these kind of DEEPEST LORE baiting games? The kinda properties that become popular less of what is substantively there in terms of plot and theme and experience, and more because nerds are just filling in the empty void by themselves with Also lmao what a loving disaster of a studio lead. As always, Jim Sterling is right and the video game industry needs to be burned to the ground.

I'll at least give FNAF this, it at least waited until it was an actual phenomenon before going entirely up its own rear end with recursive, cyoa DEEPEST LORE and gouging on every form of merchandise known to man.

https://youtu.be/QlE23i_1B8M The newest episode of bizarre podcast:dogs must die just uploaded and Ironicus seems to pop in on the thread when a new episode drops so I wanted to ask while I've got a chance (Well, it was uploaded when I posted it, I swear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHq28o-R74A&t=4665s At around 1:17:50 into episode 7 Chip and him are talking about annoying fandoms because Ironicus thought it was worse than just cooypasta-ing 'is that a Jojo reference?' when someone mentions Heirophant in a story, what was the other one? They never mentioned what the other fandom was based around. RareAcumen fucked around with this message at 17:19 on May 31, 2021 |

Zinkraptor posted:I think we've kind of left behind the original point here, but we can at least say that both kinds of media are very popular and that claiming one kind is inherently more successful to the point where it should be a major factor in deciding what people write doesn't make sense. I would read a friends manga penned by Oda.

Endorph posted:Demon Slayer is way more popular than anything else in Japan right now. The movie's breaking box-office records and is on track to being the most financially successful japanese movie of all time, last I checked, and the manga's already in the top 10 of manga sales of all time despite having much less time to get there. Like it's already sold more than Bleach and that's with Bleach having been around since 2001 and having 3 times as many volumes. Kids in Japan are obsessed with Yaiba. big 3 has indeed been dead for a long time, but demon slayer is an absolutely weird and interesting case unto itself. the manga of demon slayer was pretty middling in popularity and sales until the anime aired. after the anime, it became insanely popular. it sold so much because it sold years worth of manga in a short time. there was a time right after the anime ended all the volumes out of demon slayer (like 14? 15? at the time) were 1 through whatever on the bestsellers list. that was the first time one piece had dropped below like 3rd place in manga sales in 20 years as well lol. personally id rather have manga that ends tho so I'm happy with good, popular things like chainsaw man and yaiba that eventually end rather than nart and bleach going forever and were obviously drawn out at points just cuz they were popular. one piece gets a pass cuz somehow it's as good now as it's ever been.

There's always been some spooky background story stuff to it even in 1, but Scott Cawthon didn't really come into it dangling a bunch of hooks for youtubers is what puts it a lot ahead of everything else like it imo, if I remember right he was considering it like the last game he was gonna make or something, then it caught on super hard and he actually planned out more story. As much as you can be tired of the games/setting of them, he's absolutely put a lot effort into spinning it out and coming up with new things pretty much every game. Also Demon Slayer's great and I'm happy that it blew up so much for the lady that made it. And that she didn't get corporate roped into drawing it out past what she wanted.

That Friends derail is a really good touch the grass moment no, there are still not that many adults watching anime globally, sorry, "normies" love sitcoms Endorph posted:Also, auxilliary to my post about 'big 3' shonen, but there's also the fact that shonen designed to be super long running isn't as common as it used to be. Yaiba only lasted a few years, and there's some signs it was rushed a bit at the end but even with that in mind I doubt it would have lasted more than, say, five years, the pieces were clearly in place for the climax. Jujutsu Kaisen's author has outright said he only wants it to run for a few years, not for a decade. MHA's winding down and it's 'only' been running for about 6-7 years, and My Hero Academia's the third oldest series currently running in Jump. Jump's more aggressive with cuts these days, and authors just don't seem as interested in making series that run for 15-20 years, the way Bleach, One Piece, and Naruto did. Kubo burnout and the ongoing Togashi situation were a wake up call Hit big, cash out before you start killing yourself

Arcsquad12 posted:It's called Five Nights at Freddies and it spawned the horror game lore craze. It's funny we've had at least two movies definitely inspired by FFAF (the Nic Cage thing and the Banana Splits reboot thing) but the actual FFAF movie itself is in development hell despite being a very simple premise of animatronic jump scares.

However, I kinda feel that "competing with a breakout Xmas hit on streaming" isn't bad at all, especially considering it's not even an actual episode. Let's not forget that as middling as WW84 was, it'd still put out insane box office numbers if theaters were open when it was released.
