So there I'm diving into School Rumble season 2 and then the new OP plays...
What a downgrade.
No OP downgrade can be as great as the one between the two seasons of Natsu no Arashi.
I really enjoyed this series, probably the most pleasant thing SHAFT has done in yearsKoufuku Graffiti 1
Even outside the OP, this is very promising. Hopefully Naoyuki Tatsuwa has gotten to do a quality show in between being forced to work on Nisekoi.
RIP Miyu Matsuki (Shiina's mom).
So, any takers for my Towa no Quon watchalong? No obligation to finish it, just looking for other people who will be willing to watch say, an episode a day or two, over the next week plus, and post about it. If it turns out to be real dogshit at least we won't be alone. It's available on DVD and Blu-ray from Sentai as well as on Hulu for Americans.
There's cool stuff like this:
one more shite show won't make a difference.

I hadn't seen this.
I really used to think that the anime boosting popularity of the manga and increasing manga sales at least somewhat positively impacted the anime's sales. Guess I was wrong.

In the first place, a second season being brought up by the production committee only happens in the better cases. Most of them dont even talk about a second season; they stop by the 3rd or 4th BD and calculate whether they can minimize their losses.

In what world is the S2 opening a downgrade?
Crunchyroll gets episodes a week later than other sites.Iron Blooded Orphans 13
Saw that Gundam was updated on Crunchyroll and ended up re-watching this episode somehow. Doesn't matter though, that kiss is so good I could watch it twenty or so times.
Aren't the manga owners sitting in production committee and shelling out the cash for the adaptation in the first place ? That's what this thread taught me.

There's cool stuff like this:
Depends on the production committee and depends on the project? Obviously not every project is going to be the same. I've heard for example, that Bandai/Sunrise isn't particular eager on doing more Horizon even though it sold really well, because the terms of the contract favor the rights holders way more than the animation production side.
Couldn't the rights holders then go to a different production company?

If they desperately want to have more made regardless, sure. But I doubt they're in any hurry themselves seeing how the novels sell really well as it is. Who's going to pay for it anyway? And is there any assurance that the fans will still buy the anime if it's rebooted with a new studio and staff? Lots of factors in why stuff doesn't get made.

Then how the heck does stuff like Berserk and D.Gray-Man get a new anime adaptation? Especially the latter when it's been 7 years since the original anime ended. What would be the incentive?
If they already got a sales boost for the manga/LN/whatever else and it kept selling, what would they hope to achieve to produce more anime at a loss then? Another sales boost?

I dunno about D-Gray-Man, but Berserk has Warner Brothers Japan money behind it, just like Jojo does. A better question would be to ask how Mushishi got a second season. Sometimes producers are simply very passionate about good material and will try to work deals out to get stuff made even if there's a low possibility of financial success. Just like how some Hollywood producers still work with Del Toro!

More-over, even if the content owners are going to another anime production, it is likely they will have heard about why Sunrise stepped out and be put off getting involved themselves, especially when the material owners are unlikely to offer them terms that are fairer than what Sunrise got.If they desperately want to have more made regardless, sure. But I doubt they're in any hurry themselves seeing how the novels sell really well as it is. Who's going to pay for it anyway?

You should also account that 200m yen is lower than US show budgets are as well. That accounts for part of the reason why we get so much anime being made.I liked the "too much anime is being made" reason for the state of industry. I'm not quite sure how the situation in USA looks like but it seems to me that for a 120 mln large population with heavy demographic issues, Japanese are producing a buttload of animated works.

Again it all depends on the production committee.What about merchandise sales?
Code Geass would like a word with you.
I was going to raise youTokyo Ghoul ( which isn't maybe anything special but is decent and has a good/great song) toRoot A but after checking out NnA openings I will have to fold.
What about merchandise sales?
So what if you sell a lot of goods from the show? Royalties from anime goods is just a few percent of the total revenue, so if you sell maybe 10 million yen worth of goods, only a few hundred thousand yen will go to the anime company. If you dont sell a lot, it wont be a huge sum. In the end, its still tough if the BDs dont sell.

Brutal.
Those translated tweets are sad, but also make a lot of sense. Everything's about as I expected. It's a shame. When will the anime industry crash and burn so it can be rebuilt from the ground up? The future is bleak.

I keep wondering if I should watch the first season or not of TG. I've read a lot about the issues it has in adapting but have heard it at least mostly sticks to the plot unlike the second season.
So how big of a boost does a manga series need to have in order for the anime adaption not to be a complete loss of profit? Or does manga sales not help at all? So all the series in the top 10 are completely safe.
