They were adapted around the most popular aspect- naked 14 year old girls. That poo poo sells and the source material was full of it.

Negima is the story of a boy that turns himself into a lightning bolt to fight a man who surfs through the air on a giant sword, which sounds more like a Norse myth than an anime.

It's actually the most anime though.

You're thinking of Negima!, which was awful. Negima!?, on the other hand, was about Asuna trying to get people interested in chupacabras so she can offload all of her chupacabra merch on them and stop being so poor.

Diamond no Ace: Second Season
n/a, n/a - Comedy, School, Shounen, Sports
The story follows Eijun Sawamura, a pitcher who joins an elite school with a brilliant catcher named Kazuya Miyuki. Together with the rest of the team, they strive for Japan's storied Koushien championships through hard work and determination.

Hahahaha.

The show was supposed to end this month after being extended at least once already.

They might as well just say it's gonna go on indefinitely!

Edit:
Hmm, the anime itself doesn't seem to be a big hit though.

It does air at a sane timeslot so I think they just consider it an ad for the manga.

Damn Kiva symbols....
Originally, the series was financed by TV Tokyo and AT-X, who aired it along the TV Tokyo networks. In 2014 when the first extension occurred, the financing also had other companies like Pony Canyon (the video/music disc producer) finance some of the show. There's a ton of merchandise both for children as well as adult women who enjoy the show produced. It's a good hit for all involved, but nothing to the scale of Precure/Aikatsu.

I see. I still find it interesting how viable this approach is.

Its actually moving from its original timeslot (8:30 AM on Sundays, which competes directly with Precure) to 6 PM on Mondays, so who knows.

Don't lose your head over it.
It is a fun sports show. I'm not sure why goons did not like it as much as the other sports shows that started around the same time. Not as giffable as Haikyuu or Yowamushi Pedal I guess.

i think the fact that its baseball might have something to do with it too. volleyball and bike racing are stuff people don't really make movies or whatever about, don't really watch on tv, so they're interesting. baseball is a known factor that most people have seen at least a few movies about, and have probably even gone to an actual game of at some point, maybe even played when they were a kid, so it's less inherently interesting.

I've watched a bit of Ace of the Diamond and I feel that Yowapedal and Haikyuu both have much stronger starts. So between that and there being a billion baseball animes, it makes sense that there's not a lot of people talking about Ace compared to those shows.

Not that Ace is bad by any means though! It just felt like it was going to be a slow burn compared to Yowapedal and Haikyuu and it felt like the sort of show that's rough to watch week by week.

How lost will I be picking up Digimon/Gintama if I've never seen them before? (But have watched retrospectives in the case of Digimon.) I assume not at all for Gintama because it's Gintama but still.

The only thing you'll be missing with Gintama is just familiarity with the characters and their quirks, but otherwise you're good.

Gintama is all about the contrasts. If you want to know more about the characters, you will put an effort towards it. For now, enjoy your juvenile comedy and occasional dramatic/badass moments.

Ninja Slayer is apparently being broadcasted on web first and then the terrestrial version will be out in 2016 so you can probably scratch that from the list.

It costs money to have anime air in japan on broadcast channels they probably couldn't secure enough backers to front that cost.

Apparently, Ninja Slayer is one of those intentionally so-bad-its-good shows, so that's not necessarily to its disadvantage.

If its like inferno cop then it'll be fine. They have a cool translator in house so they can have an english version up in a youtube channel for us.

I was expecting something really vile but instead it's just Miyazakis' comment, a mildly racist doodle of him, and 'well you're a dumb-dumb!'

The most offensive part of that isn't even the response, it's that they're hiding behind a dead man to make it.
