>this is one of the best selling anime franchises now
Explain me how this is possible
>>121091534
I haven't read the LN so I'll shut the fuck up.
It's good.
It's Nisio Isin, he can do whatever the fuck he wants.
>>121091534
Why not?
You don't like it?
>>121091534
>how this is possible
1) Decent direction and art
2) Fan service
3) Slight contrived story and plot but better than most harems
4) Cute girls
5) ??
What else is needed to sell nowadays? All the "patricians" who watch "good anime" only torrent it off nyaa or wherever the fuck and don't contribute to the market at all. The people that DO buy anime, buy shows like Monogatari
>best anime ever created
>best selling
Makes sense to me
>>121091534
japanese like their harems
there's nothing more to it
even IS sold quite nicely while having zero actual substance in it
just deal with it
harem, fujobait and idol shows are where the money go nowadays
It's a harem that's easy for normalfags to enjoy. He has a normal boring relationship with one girl and they can say "I'm totally watching for the dialogue" and pretend they don't actually like harems. The anime also has a very high budget which helps.

>easy for normalfags to enjoy
This show is definitely not something that normalfags want to watch.
The whole 'normalfag show' argument is getting out of hand lately.
>>121091534
Gee,I wonder OP.
Maybe you're also wondering why Free sold as much as it did.
>>121092406
gatari is mainstream
Name something similar? Don't give me its a harem so its like every other harem because it fucking isn't.
>>121092406
You dont get those sales without a good amount of normals.
>>121091736
>Forgetting Shaft and the redraw tricks
shinobu
I am a huge pleb, and a non virgin normalfag with a job, and this is my currently airing favourite anime.
So yeah, anon is wrong.
>>121092465
It really is just like other harems though.
>>121092406
That would be something like black bullet.
>now
It has been since 2009, what rock did crawl out from under?
>>121092482
>normals
>buying anything anime related
Yeah, sure.
>>121092458
>gatari is mainstream
There we go again.
Sex sells
>>121091534
Great characters mostly.
Lots of people say things like cute girls, fanservice, etc., but that's stupid because most series have these things without even close to the success. The one thing it has that other shows don't is presentation, and even that's kind of a wash because most Shaft shows are similar.

Power of the bat.
This is literally the best single episode of anime ever made.
Bake on a whole might not be the best
but its e12 is the best single episode in history
>>121094502
My nogga.
>>121091534
It's bad. The masses always enjoy bad things.
I was tempted to buy the LE boxset despite having the show on my computer. Shit's not even in my top 30, I guess it's something alluring about it.
>>121094502
This single scene acquired 3000 BD preorders right after it aired back in 2009. Fantastic scene

>non-stop ronery threads on /a/ for weeks
Never again.

The Christopher Nolan/Quentin Tarantino of anime.
>>121091534
this series is absolutely garbage with fanservice
plus japs taste is really bad, so that's why
>Great characters
>Great MC
>Nice art style
>Good OST
>Shinobu best girl
What else do you need?
>all this "hobby hipster syndrome"
No board is safe. No board is unaffected.
>>121094638
But Christopher Nolan is a hack.
>>121091534
in short: because you are a faggot
>>121094847
Yes, and?
>>121094772
more monkey.
Japs have no taste.
Good franchises come to existence by sheer coincidence just to prove it as a rare exceptions.
>>121094856
>monkeyfags use VLC
I'm not surprised.
>>121096344
Why are you not surprised?
