There are announcements for announcements all the time and a lot of them are for merch. Just best to not get your hopes up until the actual announcement happens

I boycott garbage that way all the time.

I don't care if it makes me a sperg, there are certain things I want and when creators taunt me it does not want to make me give them money :colbert:

Boycotting something due to merch the creators aren't involved with sounds like a flawless plan.

This isn't getting into extreme fanservice ecchi stuff is it? I'd prefer heartbreak and the feels.

It's definitely not the former.

Someow I doubt that translation monkeys would be considered "core staff" in a business like this though.

Yeah it's definitely something that's handled contractually instead of full time.

You know in your heart, the real reason for this is probably because idols and idol merchandise is hotter than ever, so it just makes monetary sense.

Frontier sold very well, both its merch and its music, but after the two movies they were dead silent until Delta.

maybe it won't even have idols

I miss when they'd vary the music with each iteration.

I'll accept the compromise of, idols that sing something besides pop.

I mean that was only because there was like a decade between each one and what was popular changed.

Yeah and it was good! Less than a decade tho since even the OVAs they'd put out had different kinds of music.

Tenchi Muyo somehow keeps existing. I don't even know who watches them.

Megazone (or at least the first two parts) rules but it's definitely far on my "needs a reboot" list. Especially if it lacks the 80s fashion!

I'm not sure a TV series would be able to replicate the transition from part 1 to 2 in the same cool way either. Since, for those who don't know, both parts had entirely different staff, to the point where even the character designs are p different.

Everyone should check out parts 1 and 2 of Megazone 23, basically. Can easily be done in a single day and they hold up well enough.

Megazone 23 had a great concept and executed it decently enough, but mostly thrived on sheer style. Not to mention those cool transforming bikes. I believe there was also a very awkward sex scene for some reason and that probably helped popularize another infamous OVA trend.

I don't remember much about the second OVA other than it was pretty different, so I'll trust the people saying it was good in its own way, but the third one felt weird and almost completely unrelated to the initial premise. If they're going to make a remake, I hope they find a nice balance between paying direct homage and doing their own thing in an interesting way.

Yah the third one suffers from telling a much more generic story & having literally unfinished animation in some spots.

I'm hoping they can find an interesting new angle with a remake, that still keeps up the spirit of the original. The way part 1 ends is cool but I'd like to see them try a different type of unexpected ending in a remake.

So a thing about animal girls continues, but we still can't get a good adaptation of Berserk. Thanks, Obama.

I'm guessing you haven't actually watched Kemono Friends, otherwise you wouldn't be saying this.

I basically said that because it's hella silly to complain about a cheap CG anime getting a second season(?) when a good Berserk adaption would take significantly more time and resources!

Kemono Friends of all things being placed in that either/or hypothetical situation is an odd choice!

I have not. I assume it's good since you're saying this?

It's good but also the animation quality is kinda similar in scope to the new Berserk's, though since it's not a serious show it works better.

It's good, even if it's more like a multi-part episode of a Lupin TV series.

Hell, that's what Jigen's Gravestone was and it ruled, so that's good news to me!

Scum's Wish is extremely good and I wish more people were talking about it. It's been my favorite of the season and might end up as my AOTY.

Noitamina stuff being locked behind freakin' Anime Strike is a deathblow to potential viewers unless it has reason to get a lot of hype before it airs.
