That's because you watched the TV version!
I just looked up shows from Summer 2010 and while sparse I still enjoyed:
Cat shit One, Asobi Ni Iku yo, Amagami SS, Highschool of the Dead, and I would like to see Seitokai Yakuindomo.
So basically I'm still saying that was a bullshit claim. Although mileage obviously may vary.

Superior sales for the Superior show.
Yeah, I liked Persona 4 and Fate/Zero too.
Its definitely not a movie you'd watch to "enjoy". I feel very very bad for Midori, as she did nothing to warrant the kind of treatment she got in that movie.

Lesbianism is frowned upon in otaku circles. Well the circles that spend the most on anime anyway.

That did not stop Madoka from obliterating the competition.
Are you serious that there are pantyshots in the BD version?
The otaku can't handle someone as alpha as Madoka. (the other one)

There's also Yuri Sketch. Shaft are the masters, I suppose.

I really don't know. I guess it shows to show that you maybe, just maybe you shouldn't mix all those different genres and tropes together. I can only assume people were confused because they didn't know who the audience for the show is.

Anime is saved?
Lets start by saving Noitamina first, then go onto the big fish.

You almost sound shocked. You do know what they did to Bakemonogatari, right?

Whoa, that church bit in the final episode of Gintama is actually parody of what appears to be some Japanese sketch comedy show.

I thought that part of the appeal of Soredemo was that is was pure class when it could have easily not been. There are very few times in my life when I've ever been disappointed in SHAFT, but this is one of them.

You can't expect SHAFT not to do what SHAFT does. It makes me worried about what other fanservice they added to the show, I can't imagine they stopped at the OP.
Mixing those tropes and more together got Infinite Stratos and that had very high sales.

Looks like Crunchyroll has a lot of upcoming simulcasts to be listed. I wonder what funico (niconico/FUNimation) will simulcast?

Those are completely forgettable titles, to the point that I forgot that they all existed, apart from HSOTD.
I watched Mitsudomoe, Occult Academy, Strike Witches 2, SYD, HOTD, Densetsu no Yuusha, and Amagami SS that season.
It sucked overall, so it was a backlog season. I did enjoy Densetsu no Yuusha more though out of it all, and we got that broom episode in Strike Witches 2.
*in an old lecherous man voice* heh, heh, heh...

You should see what the did to the Nadeko arc...

Not really. Infinite Stratots was very clearly the otaku-harem show for otaku from day one. A casual glance at Langarange might suggest that it's actually some kind of slice-of-life show about three girls who become friends.
Of course, a closer glance would tell you the truth about the show, but not everyone pays that much attention to shows.
Shows like Hidamari Sketch and Arakawa Under the Bridge are virtually free of fanservice even though they stretch multiple seasons, so I know that it isn't impossible for SHAFT to keep it classy. Apparently, they realized only too late that you can't have a meido show without meido service and still be profitable, so they finally grasped the low-hanging fruit that they had at least initially made an effort to avoid.
I suppose there's only one way to find out the extent of the added fanservice. I'm up for it if anyone else is.
We'll soon see with Eureka Seven AO whether or not the Infinite Stratos formula can be profitable when it's not the main selling point of a series.

Well, everyone should know they sure added a lot of, er, animation to that arc.

Arakawa was split cour, not "multiple seasons"... and it also bombaed, I think.
They got some of the fanservice bug out when they made Tsukuyomi Moonphase and He is my Master.
I guess they were able to work normally after those shows for a while and then they had to reload. Which they did in full effect with Bakemonagatari.
There's only 2 girls so far though, right?
From what i've been reading on 2ch it's quite a bit different from IS.

You've just reminded me of the whole sketch they have in Soredemo about male-gaze, which really wouldn't work if it was crammed with fanservice.
You've made the right choice.
It megabomba'd, so I suppose it would have to be split cour from the start instead of a quickly-greenlit second season. Either way, they had the opportunity to up the level of fanservice Bake -> Nise style and didn't.
But that would ruin everyone's scenario of AO being riddled with every otaku trope imaginable! If I can't have hype, I at least want cynicism.
I assume success for all and then am pleasantly surprised when they underperform.

K-ON! was basically that though and it did very well.
This is the home release version of the OP for Soredemo. You can stop casting aspersions on it now.
Jex

Yes, just like K-On. Exactly.
There's a pantyshot at around the 0:32 mark.

Half of Bake/Nise is verbal sparring. You gotta sex it up somehow.
I'm also assuming that the light novels are full of descriptions of breast sizes and whatnot though.
Hey, at least you don't have to buy the Vita game to get the ending!Remember the days where you can watch a show on TV and expect it to complete at the end of a run? Those days are DEAD!

Dat fantastic OST showcase.
This image is kind of disappointing, because it's a display of the kind of subtle facial animation that we didn't get very often in the show itself. Then again, that tends to be the case for many other shows as well.
Running total: 2
Come to think of it, SHAFT's other maid show (Natsu no Arashi) didn't have any pantsu either. The show made up for it in much, much stranger ways.
