Once upon a time Guilty Crown was hailed as the saviour of anime.
We made the mistake of hoping for another Code Geass. Underestimated how SPECIAL that show was. Not just any old trainwreck can come around and live up to that.
Definitely. Though it doesn't make it good!
I don't think anybody ever seriously thought that.
Its pretty damn generic too. Hopefully there has been progress with the new LWA2 script.
Kill La Kill saved anime more than Guilty Crown confirmed.
WE BELIEVED.

I was hoping Aldnoah to be next CG but they take it too seriously
Closest we get is still Valverave. shame S2 feel flat.
but but it have all star cast!

They've already saved it twice with LWA and Inferno Cop
That more than cancels out.
Especially Inferno Cop, that's worth like at least 3 savings.
Its a cute series but I didnt honestly expect it to be so lewd.
That's a really good point to be made. The Phantom Troupe is ostensibly a group of super villains and seeing them cut loose was awesome. Couple that with the notion of it being retaliation against another criminal element and it's easy to sympathize with them.

I hope KLK was comercially successful for Trigger. I'd hate for Imaishi and the rest of the team to get forced to do adaptations of harem light novels to keep the lights on.

So the team finally is all together. The action was decent. Aside from stupid plot developments, not a terrible episode

Im sure it was but..arent they making a harem show like that anyway? Or is that the joke and im an idiot?
The BD sales were lower than I expected tbh.
Taking into account there were 9 volumes released in JP, they sold around 100k for the series.
Well its fall into "pretty good" range, I guess they won't disappointed.. its quite big at western audience too.
They average 11k for each Volume and thats just JP releases. The show is quite popular in NA.
Fun fact: Mahouka has been selling over 12k a volume. With V3 coming out next week in JP, I know the novels have been selling well too since the show has aired.
Mahouka guaranteed S2. OVA will include

Yes! Precure 5 Go Go! 48 END
Sayonara Bunbee-san, secret best Precure leader, and Kawarino who somehow survived the first series despite getting sucked into hell and is working out of a shed with Bunbee.
R.I.P. to the best evil, megane, monster girl OL in anime history. You put it all on the line for your man, but in the end he was kind of a dick. Actually, he was dick at the first and in the middle too, but love is blind. So it has to wear glasses.
Good riddance to all the other villians that were pretty lame and we didn't care about. Scorp was the only other one that was cool, and they killed him off in like the 7th episode. Director was the lamest of all, what a twat.
And so long to all the weird mascot things that were in love with our human Precure girls in defiance of God and Nature, except in the second season they basically ignored the romance subplot so maybe that's been retconned out in NewPrecure52, except Nozomi totally kissed Coco RIGHT ON THE MOUTH(!!!) for all the world to see in the Go Go Movie, but he was being mind-controlled at the time and plus it was a movie (and those things are barely even canon) so maybe that doesn't count.
And a special farewell to Milk, who was less annoying in Go Go, mainly because she was barely ever even in her mascot form, and was actually kinda cool in this series.
I guess now I'm either gonna watch Futari wa or Suite.

It was reported through inserts included with the 7th BD/DVD volume that Kyoukai was getting a movie back in July which would open in theatres in spring of 2015. This was just the announcement CM that aired following the final episode of Free! Eternal Summer. Nothing new (footage or news).
I could swear most of these scenes are from the TV series. Maybe not though.

i could answer seriously with story facts on why she is amazing .... but i'll just sauy that she is... especially when you learn her motivations ..the entire cast is just so far behind.
Yeah, it does seem familiar.
I'm pretty sure nobody thought of that when it was announced that the worst writer in history Hiroyuki Yoshino is behind it.
Mawaru PenguinDrum - Zomg! Ikuhara will save anime!!!
Kids on the slope - Zomg! Watanabe will save anime!!
Space Dandy - Zomg! Watanabe will again try to save anime!!!
Trigger will never save anime, KLK wasn't it and LWA isn't a full fledge series. Trigger = Platinum games.

Oh, Terraformers is THAT manga? The one that we were discussing how messed up the bad guys looked some time ago?

All are cuts from the TV series as production on the movie hasn't started with Amagi airing in a week. New footage will come in January at the earliest.
Ao Haru Ride 10
Pretty much nothing happened. Just as Kou and Yuuri said, and now she feels bad about it. Once again, she and Yuuri confided in each other about their feelings over Kou. All in the while, we get his backstory regarding his mother. Now it's understandable as to why he's so cold and seemingly noncaring.

Welcome to the NHK 1
From my Japanese pop culture class.
So our hero is a highly unstable LEET who places all of the blame for his highly unstable life on a conspiracy organization known to him as the NHK and gets selected for a project of some sorts by the heroine. Also he appears to have a Nun fetish.
Yep nothing unconventional about this premise.

I wish 10k+ sales guaranteed additional seasons.
I remember reading in a few places that Mahouka's novel sales were extremely important with the release of the show.

Steins;Gate - 2
Clearly, microwaved teleporting (time-travelling?) banana's are going to be the things that have the most impact on the plot here. I gotta make sure I pay attention to those!

penguindrum DID save anime
This is such a great series. It explores all kinds of subjects not just Neets. It is surprisingly serious though. Didnt expect that given how it began.
I imagine if the novel sales really pick up thanks to the anime, and the anime itself sells well that they would be inclined to make another series of anime for it.
Why? Didn't the show(thankfully) bomb?

Tamako Market bombed, and KyoAni made a movie for that too.
Tamako Market had potential. KnK has none.
The island episodes were REALLY uncomfortable.
Why you suddenly talking about potential? the point is they both not bringing money and they making movie from it.
Not sure what you mean. Didn't KnK sell better than Tamako?

Gotta push those light novel sales.
Damn.http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=109699&page=2 said:
Neither one sold well, but Tamako at least had the potential for a good story. KnK doesn't.
Is this the sort of thing that's just sort of committed to at the beginning of production?
Nah but those were really good episodes too.
