Dammit, I'm too late.

I wanted you to take a moment to consider at the end of 10 (9 works too) everything you found strange in the show to that point. It's a list worth collecting before the finale changes everything.

Blood-C is a wild and beautiful beast that I have a really hard time judging. I love it for the things it does right, but it's hard to forgive how difficult those first three or four episodes are to sit through.

I'm glad you're marathoning it, though. It works well for that show.

See you on the other side.

Joshikousei - 03



Girls attend a date party to meet some guys, get really jealous when one of their friends finds a guy, and then
rips off his clothes to satisfy their curiosity.

This show...What the hell?! :lol

Maybe I should start watching this if it's anything like the spinoff manga which is absolutely hilarious.

Well, this was a decent ending to a fairly decent series. The third part was easily the best of the three. I doubt I'd watch another season of this as the things I've read about what happens next in the manga sound terrible.

an entertaining animewatch. i give it 3/5 efu's.

That show was REALLY cute but Im not sure whats so great about it that would have made it sell as well as it did. It was surprisingly high.

Another case of Technology Marching On.

Easily the most interesting episode of LotGH so far. I get a huge hard-on for fictional history (I read the Silmarillion when I was eight), so I derived plenty of enjoyment out of that.
I think the most interesting aspect to get out of it is how Yang Wenli's rise to fame parallels Goldenbaum's early years before taking the throne and become Space Hitler, main difference being that, at least through the eyes of the Alliance, Yang is not a complete twat who kills people willy nilly. On the other hand, the Parliament or I don't remember what the fuck branch of government they were and their fear of Wenli seems justified now. Of course one has to consider that the situation the Alliance is found at the moment is not unlike that of the USG before the Empire came to be. In the end, all systems suck because people suck.

P.S. Spare me the fat naked women. Seriously. (NSFW)

Goddamn. Shit has gotten real. The CG animation has definitely improved, but they've actually managed to make the 2D animation worse. QUALITY, choppy movement, and still shots everywhere.

So, that was both what I was and wasn't expecting. It was weird to have run this whole time without the vampire connection, and that wrap-up certainly brought it. I mean, it was clear from the beginning something was up with Saya's character, and that something was kind of obvious having seen both Blood:TLV and Blood+. It's just kind of weird the series amounted to so little. The
government experiment
angle definitely makes other pieces of the series make much more sense.

It's just weird that, in the end, the series wasn't about what we spent 9/12 episodes on. We still received zero explanation of the monsters or even a concrete set of rules for which they worked. I guess there's nothing wrong with that, but very strange. Also, it just sort of ends.

NOTE: since the BD cutoff was so high, some of the lower-ranked titles might have BD sales in the mid-2000's, so they could see an improvement in rank after the full sales numbers release later this week

No mention of Uchuu Kyoudai for some reason, not even as below the cutoff.

Normally wouldn't post about this, but this was probably the most well-adapted episode in a while. It still went at a close to 1:1 pace, but there was some actual, visually impressive original content that wasn't standing around or drawing stupid stuff out. Animation also seemed to be better than normal. Craziest thing of all is they actually made Hordy threatening somehow.

Probably the best episode of the arc.

Really? I was under the impression that 6000 was fairly profitable for such shows.

fake edit: found the quote regarding sales expectations, even if you shouldn't take it as a written rule:

-Less than 1000: Complete failure for late night anime, but is common among mainstream/daytime anime, which rely on other methods to produce revenue such as ratings and merchandising. Examples of this would be Naruto, Bleach, OP, Fairy Tale, Detective Conan, and most noitaminA slot anime.

-1000-2000: Pretty much same as above. Some examples of recent late night anime that bombed like this would be LOLH, B Gata H Kei, and Ookami-san.

-2000-3000: Still a failure, but the show has at least some fans but didn't sale well for various reasons, whether they be not enough hype, relatively boring plot, or too :deep:. Some recent examples would be Occult Gakuin, Shin Koihime Musou, and UraBoku.

-3000-4000: This is around break even point for most anime, or as 2ch calls it, the Manabi line. It's not exactly a failure, since no money was lost, but it's not successful or a hit either, since no money was made. An example of this would be Arakawa Under the Bridge and Ichiban Ushiro.

-4000-5000: This is around where you start to see profit being made. Anime that sale in this area aren't what you would call hits, but it's still a decent accomplishment for late night anime. Recent examples are Ikkitousen Xtreme Xecutor and Mayoi Neko Overrun. An older one is all seasons of Zero no Tsukaima.

-5000-6000: This is where some of the more prominent anime among the niche market sale. By that, I mean the more memorable titles of a year. They aren't exactly hits in the sense that they're known among outside of otaku circles, but within them they're common names. Recent examples are Motto To LOVE-Ru, Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls, Amagami SS, and Kissxsis here.

-6000-7000: Very good for late night anime. Once again, not hits, but they're doing very well and are moderately popular among the niche market of otaku. This is still within the realm of the 5000-6000 area. Here you have your Seitokai Yakuindomo, BakaTest, and Sekirei ~Pure Engagement~.

-7000-8000: This is where you start to go from being niche within a niche to being broadly popular within the otaku niche. Could be considered a hit among otaku, although this is a sort of gray area in the the sense most anime don't sale exactly in this range, they're either with the 5000-7000 range or skip into double digits. The only anime that comes to my mind immediately that sales in this range are Katanagatari and HOTD.

-8000-10000: This is where you start to see the most memorable anime over years sale, extremely good for late night anime and a mile stone. Still a bit hesitant to call series in this area hits, but their at least extremely successful. The first DARKER THAN BLACK and Sengoku BASARA seasons sold in this area.

-10000-12000: Where you start to see anime staple marks at. These are the series that even people who aren't otaku will at least have seen or heard of somewhere. This are is ambiguous in the sense that stuff that sales higher initially end up here from sales tapering off a bit. Anime in this are usually have initial sales of around 15000-16000 or higher. Stuff like Strike Witches, Durarara!!, and the first season of Toaru Majutsu no Index end up here after the first few volumes. Toradora! and both seasons of Shakugan no Shana sold around this area. DARKER THAN BLACK: Ryuusei no Gemini also sold here.

-12000-15000: Most anime that end up in the 10000-12000 range overall start out selling around here. As stated above, first season of Index and both seasons of Strike Witches started out here. First season of Hakuouki and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood also sale around this range. Sengoku BASARA Two sales in this area.

-15000-20000: Pretty much same as above.

-20000-30000: Durarara and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood started out in this area but tapered off later on. This area is ambiguous in the sense that the only anime that consistently stay in this area over every volume are heavily otaku supported. Still, some of the most popular anime sales around here. Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, Azumanga Daioh, and Fate/stay night are the only anime I can think of that consistently sold in this range.

-30000-50000: Godly and legendary. This is where the household name or super popular otaku anime sale. First Fullmetal Alchemist, Macross Frontier, Code Geass, Gundam 00, Haruhi, Angel Beats!, Lucky Star!, K-ON!, etc.

-50000-80000: Nearly impossible. Only TV series that have sold here are Bakemonogatari, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, and Gundam SEED.

Didnt Ducky say these were only ballpark though and not the true figures? Like a higher amount of sales were needed to break even typically or something.
