So I watched all of fruits basket in the last week or two and it was really good and s3 was really good. I don’t have much thoughts beyond it’s nice when things are good.

Terry van Feleday posted:yeah it's straight up a honda ad and not subtle about it, but it's also a lot more earnest than that description would have you believe Being a blatant marketing platform isn't an automatic indictment against it, plenty of cartoons in the 80's and 90's were the exact same thing. It all comes down to how hands-on the marketing guys are in development as to how crap it turns out. Terry van Feleday posted:Regarding Super Cub, I'm just gonna crosspost from twitter: She's just spent half a season getting her Cub ready for winter so, get this, she doesn't feel the cold. And has now gone to rescue someone freezing cold. Putting the poor kid where she's going to feel the most cold possible during the trip is just flat stupid, and I'd wager the thought process was "hey, remember that joke we wrote about Koguma saying she could fit Shii in her basket? I've got a GREAT callback idea...  "

fact is pretty much every anime is an advertisement for something. a place further than the universe was really good but was also propaganda for the jp government to the point they were on the production committee. granted 'antarctic research is cool' is pretty banal propaganda but still, that feels worse to me than the honda thing.

More Super Cub chatter, from Twitter: "Reddit users have located Koguma's apartment and the entrance to the cat path on google maps. They're ~500 ft apart. (Shii's home is three miles to the north.)."

Another glorious episode of There’s No Spider, Don’t Watch. This time they had fancy 3D models for shun and evil shun. I’m not sure if they’ve had those before. But they used them to promptly no sell two different fights like complete idiots. Like the whole thing where Shun fights Evil Shun? Like the entire drive of the human side? Oh evil shun is just a worthless gnat that can’t stand against dumb dragon powers shun didn’t even earn. The end.

A small one-bedroom apartment in a small rural community is unlikely to be as high cost as in a major city. And it's not exactly a luxury accommodation.

SSSS.Dynazenon had a very strong final episode and a third season for Gridman x Dynazenon so great all around. Combined with Super Cub losing me a little it's definitely my AOTS.

Lol even if I had wound up not being desperately bored with Dynazenon, a direct sequel/crossover announcement is basically the opposite of what I'd want for either series.

all the teaser was was saying dynazenon x gridman, and the dynazenon cast's deals were all pretty wrapped up. you'd think if they were heading straight into an actual crossover they'd leave some threads for them. it seems more likely they're just crossing over the mech designs and some of the concepts with a new cast?

Speaking of anime that will never get a sequel...Back Arrow had a crazy dumb ending, but I think it was fitting in a sense and the characters at least ended up in a good place. They had already resolved almost everything that needed a resolution, so this was more of an excuse for a little more escalation (that part was cool) and weird setting reveals (that part was dumb). In other words, I'm happy with the journey and the last arc as a whole, so the finale episode felt like more of an afterthought to the experience in my view. Leaving space for a sequel that'll never happen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdhj9gq4bbM For about 23 hours you can watch the first episode of Sonny Boy subbed on Funimation's YouTube channel. It's directed by Shingo Natsume (One Punch Man s1, Horimiya, Acca-13, Boogiepop Phantom 2019).

I mean, if you count Odd Taxi despite it not being advertised as one, Crunchy was on the committee for "A Place Further than the Universe", and that was one of the top anime of 2018, a pretty competitive year.

The article mentions that shield hero wasn’t a crunchy production just something they wish was. Honestly that article makes it seem like the whole program was just one dude looking to pay money to take credit for things already working.

shield hero, tower of god, god of high school, and tonikawa were successful popularity-wise a place further than the universe, odd taxi, and yurucamp s1 (can't find any evidence that they stayed on for s2) were successful critically there's a few others that were solid shows but probably weren't particuarly successful at making money e.g. in/spectre, somali and the forest spirit kater posted:The article mentions that shield hero wasn’t a crunchy production just something they wish was. Honestly that article makes it seem like the whole program was just one dude looking to pay money to take credit for things already working. shield hero was a crunchyroll-driven thing, it just predates them calling (some of) their co-productions "crunchyroll originals"

shield hero was crunchyroll-driven, it just predates the branding, yeah. crunchyroll approached the author and the license holders about an anime. the novels nor the show aren't that popular in japan - for reference i looked up their sales and both do about as well as the misfit in demon king academy, and if you've never heard of misfit in demon king academy, exactly - but the fantranslations of the novel were extremely popular on reddit/4chan in the west, so crunchyroll was looking to capitalize.

Anyone been watching Snow White Notes? Just saw the finale episode and it really felt like half of a two cour for sure. I’ve definitely been enjoying the music in it and I’m glad they brought back the first OP this episode as well. Crazy to think this stacked season is finally coming to a close.

To be fair, that's not a bad strategy to capitalize on if you're finding stuff that has a decent-sized fanbase outside of Japan. They just needed to take a look at what they were actually investing in because  .

I know the manga and the novel or whatever was way more hosed up but the anime must have been pretty tame considering most of the people watching it were normies. The hand wringing is fail!
