Now you listen here you little *********** , I just watch the cartoons, alright, I don't get involved with the politics or InsaneAsylum or insurance fraud or whatever it is you kids are doing these days. Just give me my god damn moving drawings or else I'm gonna have to fill out some paperwork and wait seven months for court approval so I can slap your **** without worrying about any legal repercussions.
But seriously, autism aside, is that a thing that Madhouse does that I've never noticed? Only make a single season of things? Because that would be ultra homo.
I deleted my comment because this was White Fox and not Madhouse, so I guess can't automatically write off a second season as almost certainly not going to happen because of this prejudice.
Madhouse does a lot of single seasons of light novel adaptations. It's entirely intentional, No Game No Life, Overlord, etc. It's meant as advertisement for the novels and other studios do it too, but Madhouse does it a LOT.
Well it's not like it's easy to tell the difference between studios; most anime looks the ******* same no matter what studio makes it. Unless it's something like Shaft, then it's distinct.
That would be ******** if Overlord never got a second season, it was so damn popular. Doesn't that mean it's very likely that Punching Pikachu would only get one season? Episode 12 ended today and I don't read manga so I'm going to be disappointed if they never continue it.
No, studios often have distinct styles. Even if you can't identify the studio you can at least easily see the difference in animation and design between, say, One Punch Man and K-On. I can tell when a show is KyoAni because all their moe looks nearly identical, and I've maybe watched 2 or 3 of their series. Shaft stuff I can only identify due to their fondness for the surreal and headtilts.
Being popular doesn't actually seem to factor in very much. You obviously want it to be popular to drive up sales of the source material anyway. The good news about One Punch Man is that the manga artist (or the webcomic creator, I don't remember which) apparently said online he'd make a lot of effort to get a second season of the show. I don't have source so I can't confirm though.
Let me rephrase that: most anime that isn't that good looks the same.
You know, like every harem. I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference between MonMusu and [Insert Name Here] if it wasn't for the obvious non-human bits.
You have a point; it's based on an ongoing (as far as I know) manga/webseries so there's going to be more material.
I read that too on another post. They said it was ONE who said that, which would make sense since he's the one doing the actual writing.
I'd say that's less the studio's fault and more that there's surprisingly little variation between character design in generic harems. The protagonist's ALWAYS going to look like another one somewhere, and so is main girl, and the token loli, and the token big tits, etc.
I was about to say "UNLESS it's MonMusu, then they don't look the same" but like, from the waist up, yeah, every character is exactly the same.
God damn do I hate the harem genre. Though I actually kinda enjoyed Ouran High School Host Club, even if it was 99% flashy faggotry. At least it was reversed to make it stand out from normal ******** . Maybe that's why I like JoJo so much.... .....b-b-but I'm not gay, I've never masturbated to JoJo with a bunch of Hamon-infused steel clackers up my ass, I swear!
I have no problem with a harem being present so long as it's played for laughs or coupled with an actually good story and setting. I can even bring myself to watch a standard unusual high school for special people harem if they play that setting in an interesting way, though it'll still probably end up being mediocre.
So, like, 0.1% of them.
I meant the whole thing is just "high school boy has female friend, more female friends show up and compete for high school boy's penis, they go to the beach, there are extended shots of sexual body parts and moments of sexual physical contact that are unintentional and defy physics, nothing else happens".
Sometimes a harem is totally fine as long as there is actual plot instead of "plot" and they avoid all that **** I said.... for the most part, at least.
I want to say Stein;s Gate is a good example of this, but I haven't actually seen it.
I can't think of any examples right now, Jontron is keeping most of my attention right now.
Ah, I don't actually pay attention to harems like that. I can't actually name one off the top of my head either. Does Nisekoi count? I always find that the harem's there but there's usually something else going on in these crappy LN adaptations.
Steins;Gate IS a good example of this. Go watch it or read the visual novel, by the way. Like, right now.
Sometimes (usually?) it serves as an advertisement for manga. They do continue if series make good sales though. They rarely do sadly. Too many pirates.
But I find reading manga boring compared to watching anime. The only manga I read is monster musume, the devil is a part timer was so good, I watched the dub and it was great. Anime is just so much more entertaining.
Well, money is biggest problem. Sometimes sponsor quits, anime isn't popular enough and they don't earn as much as expected, or earn less than spent. Sometimes mangaka quits or dies (of hunger). Also... japanese aren't ******* enough. They don't have enough children to show anime to, thus all the boob fest.
