infrequent translations made me fall off it but it definitely carries interesting emotional weight w/ many of the chars chasing answers or otherwise finding fulfillment in their powers/partnerships

Hard to say. Jashin-chan is primarily an Amazon show and in the past year and a half has had a variety of connections through advertisements with Prime, sports teams, merch collabs, towns, etc.

In ~December '18 the show asked via Twitter for 2000 disc sales from fans and that would guarantee a second season. This kind of proposal is essentially unheard of though many suspected it had to do with Amazon being zealous and pumping in money where we aren't seeing it.

What you may have heard as crowdfunding is that the unreleased episode of Jashin-chan S2 is a cross-promotion for the Hokkaido city of Chitose where the main character's voice actor was born (said episode also features a new character who is voiced by another girl from Chitose). And basically, there's a system in Japan where you can donate to a rural city or project and receive tax cuts in return. It's effectively like choosing that some of your taxes go there. So the anime asked last December for 20 million yen from this tax program and what they raised was 180 million. lol

If you think the problem described in that article is Chinese money then you might want to reread it.

Still amazed that Nanoha managed to flesh out and make actual characters of what were originally just palette swapped versions of the main cast in a PSP game

It's the PSP games that did all of that though

The recap episode is also just the animators bitching about the show via the characters, so thats really funny

my fond memory is hiroe rei just putting out a doujinshi that summer comiket where the chars all reflect on the first cour impressions. meteora acts smug about being first in the char rankings while eating through the entire doujin

None of that shows the main character, a spider.

the main character could be a sack of potatoes voiced by Yuuki Aoi and i'd watch it. also she's front and center

i'd say rather than 'unusual' it's refreshing to see someone written more like how a young kid acts out in school when they have a) family issues and b) a crush on someone. dangerous combo

why are elves even a thing, anyway. you'd think authors would feel bad about reusing that same concept so literally over and over again.

An izekai hogwarts where everyone has Lvl99+Ultra end-game magic tho.

this series isn't isekai. there is no 'transported from the real world'. and they don't even use end-game magic. you can look at a synopsis of this series and it tells you that magic in the world has declined in the 2000 years without a demon lord.

all of this speaking in tropes does nothing to actually inform people of what a story is about!

A lot of demon king stuff in fiction is pretty blatantly based on Shuten-Douji. Four generals and all.

the four kings thing goes further back tho, and they weren't on shuten's side, whereas today when you see that motif you expect it to be on the opposing side. isn't mazoku/maou stuff more from a western influence that becomes largely popular through dragon quest?

well, there's giant boobs in it though

just saying, but kodomo no jikan is a blackout on the okada bingo board. there's also an interview on the series website where she talks about offering to work on the project after reading the comic and becoming enamored with the story and main character. okada didn't just go in, do a job, and get out, she wrote half of it as anime original content after hitting it off with the mangaka who encouraged her to fire off on all cylinders rather than make the kind of 'safe' adaptation of an ongoing work you usually see, where the anime ending is very thematically quiet.
