Can we agree BONES will be the best performing studio in 2016 ?
>>135527942
I agree and I trust them to do a great job this time.
>>135527942
Two of those are S2 of confirmed shit
One is fujoshit
One is naruto-tier shounenshit
The last is literally what with bad art
More like worst performing.
I agree
>>135528037
Try harder
>>135528037
Here's your 1st (You) in this year.
>>135528037
>>135528037
>>135527942
I only care about one of the series that is shown over here.
>>135527942
I like Bones but those shows aren't that great. Akagami is pretty but has no substance. Revolutio is just kind of a shitfest with no real direction. I am looking forward to Psycho Mob though
Good luck BONES!
Dunno, but I certainly don't trust them after what they did to Kekkai Sensen
What studios are you rooting for this year?
>>135529219
Trigger.
I want Kizunever to be good.
>>135529219
Trigger, KyoAni, Bones, Shaft, and Sunrise probably.
>>135529317
This.
>>135529219
Kyoani, every year.
>>135527942
Not when ISIS bombs them soon
>>135527942
>saitama with bowl cut
All I ask for is more Kekkai, even a movie would suffice. Otherwise I'm more interested in their next big original project, has there been any news regarding that?. Don't particularly care for the source material of Stray Dogs or HeroAca but the anime staff might make them worth checking out, although I expect Stray Dogs to underperform in sales. HeroAca could go either way. Akagami and ConRevo didn't sell that well in their first cour so I don't see how they'd do well in their second but I wish them luck.
>>135529219
Shaft,Trigger,Bones and maybe Madhouse because they weren't that bad last year
>>135527942
Lets see, shall we?
> Kekkai Sensen
Fantastic.
> Show by Rock!!
Shit.
> Akagami no Shirayuki-hime

1 cour show with one recap episode and the last episode half a year late and with godawful drawing. If this is not the very definition of "fail" than what is?
>>135532359

>1 cour show with one recap episode and the last episode half a year late
shit happens but how does this affect the quality?
>godawful drawing
oh damn, good bait
>>135532607
The last episode was just total shit in terms of drawing quality, you can't deny that.
>>135527942
Hyped for Mob Psycho 100
>>135532650
I found the last episode lackluster in terms of entertainment compared to the main series but no, I wouldn't call the art bad, unless by "bad" you mean not especially exceptional. It was a slightly different art style from earlier episodes and you could tell they were using different animators but that still doesn't equate with bad.
>>135532847
Same
Will they really make a DtB season 3 in 2017? Well, looking forward for ConRevo second cour (can't wait to see Jiro putting on the scarf) and praying to the gods for a second season of Kekkai. As for the rest, Mob and Dogs look promising and, even not caring about Academia, hope it delivers good fights with good to great animation.

It's impossible to be good and bad at the same time, anon.
>>135537097
That's why she's just good.
>>135533975
Will be great if they are faithful to the manga, the same staff of OPM would be great for another ONE adaptation, but if they want to make just one cour and a original ending made by Bones could be a disaster
>>135527942
ConRevo is great, but I'm not particularly looking forward to any other of their shows. I'll maybe give Stray Dogs a shot, but that's it.
So no OP, I'm afraid we can't.
>>135532359
>the last episode half a year late
It was only one season late and the same thing has happened to shitload of highly successful/beloved shows from Code Geass to Madoka. Try harder.
>>135535828
>Will they really make a DtB season 3 in 2017
No they won't, stop hyping yourself. When they end up not doing it there'll be another reason why they're doing it in 2018, in 2019, in 2020. Don't buy into speculation if you don't want disappointment.
>>135530557
>I expect Stray Dogs to underperform in sales
They're going so all out with it that I'll be really sad for them if the fujos don't buy it.
Hold your fucking horses OP, Just because Bones have told everyone whats the plan for Winter and Spring doesn't mean they're front runners.
>>135529219
WIT, Bones & KyoAni.
>>135538756
Yeah they VA cast is tight and the staff list is great too. They want it to be the next Kekkai Sensen but fujos can be unpredictable.
>>135538981
Let us hope for Bones that the production committee partner responsible for marketing will put adequate resources to advertise the show with posters and billboards in Shibuya and Akihabara. Just relying on word of mouth and airing it on TV isn't enough.
>>135532359
They put in a recap because there was no other way to pace it since the manga goes by so quickly. It was probably a last minute decision after they decided to make the finale not suck by post-poning it and making it 40 minutes, which was a great move in the end.
>>135529317
>a show about edgy kids cutting their veins
S-sure it will be good
>>135540117

>>135538981
>>135539880
Second season of Haikyuu!! will end by the time Stray Dogs will start airing so fujishi will want to move over to a new series. I think if the series gets decent promo campaign it could get decent sales.
>3 shows on the same season
The last time they tried this we got some pretty bad production disasters.
>>135541635
Spring is a pretty harsh season with a lot of big profile projects. And HaiQ wasn't even the big fujo show this season, it was Osomatsu. Anyway, they're actually competing with themselves since HeroAca also has a big fujo following.
>>135541635
Haikyuu S2 isn't selling well. The one to worry about is Osomatsu-san. It might be the reason why it was moved from Winter to the Spring season.
>>135541642
Well this time the three directors seem to be pretty competent trustworthy main Bones directors instead of that hack who directed NOT, so maybe we're safe?
>>135541725
ConRevo was already pretty poorly produced just this season. If Bungou and HeroAca are both 2 cour it will get messy.
I'm hoping My Hero Academia turns out good but the available source material puts a 1-2cour in a weird place as far as where to end on.
meaning it is a prime candidate to get Bones'd at the end.
Spring season competition for female bucks:
>Bungou Stray Dogs (pure fujobucks)
>Joker Game (pure fujobucks)
>HeroAca
>Phoenix Wright
>Diamond is Unbreakable
>Super Lovers (pure fujobucks)
>Mayoiga
>Tanaka-kun (pure fujobucks)
>Kiznaiver (omnipandering, though)
>Kabaneri (it may actually be aimed more towards a male audience, but it has bits of omnipandering)
The ones I marked as "pure fujobucks" won't sell a single copy to the male audience, so they need to try extra-hard for the fujo money.
>>135541753
There were like 3 QUALITY episodes of ConRevo while the rest looked rather good. I don't think we'll get anything like NOT.webm again this time.
If we do, dear lord I hope it's not in My Hero Academia, the shitposting would never end.
>>135541866
ConRevo flopped so they will probably take Nakamura off the second season.
>>135541860
>The ones I marked as "pure fujobucks" won't sell a single copy to the male audience
I'd personally buy the shit out of Bungou Stray Dogs just for dat staff
>>135541905
The staff that shat the bed on Captain Ass? Enokido has been getting progressively worse with time, he peaked with Doremi.
>>135541892
I feel like ConRevo was Yutapon at his weakest, anyway. My favorite cut of his in the show might actually be the phone booth one which wasn't even action.
OFFICIAL IGARASHI RANKING
Top tier: Doremi
High tier: Ouran
Good tier: Star Driver, Nadja
Mid tier: Soul Eater, Sailor Moon Stars
Low tier: Captain Earth
>>135541947
I meant to write Igarashi but it still applies for Enokido. He has been getting worse with time.
>>135541947
It's an adaptation so I don't think Enokido will fail me this time. If there's anything I noticed it's that as far as the shows of his I've watched go, he's at his best when he's building off of the ideas of others.
>>135542024
Soul Eater was pretty average other than the visual style and the animation but I guess that wasn't Enokido.
Bungou Stray Dogs does have some female cast members, though. And quite pretty ones at that from the promo-art.
I guess they're not that important in the manga, though, if people start classifying this show as a pure fujo-show.
>>135541860
HeroAca has an insanely high fujo quotient in its fanbase despite not really being designed from the ground up for it.
>>135542084
They're slightly less relevant that one werewolf girl from Kekkai.
>>135542008
>I meant to write Igarashi
Well in that case, yes, I definitely still trust Igarashi. My only problem with Captain Earth was the writing, it didn't weaken my faith in Igarashi's directing at all. It only weakened my faith in Enokido's writing but like I said here >>135542024 I expect he can still adapt a manga well.
Plus this is the first time Igarashi+Enokido are doing an adaptation together and not an original since Ouran, and Ouran was fucking fantastic, so I'm hoping its quality will be more like Ouran and less like CE.
Also I didn't mean only the director and writer, other staff members like Taku Iwasaki doing the OST is also pretty hype.
>>135542084
Yes it does have female supporting characters and the MC gets a loli that is clingy with him but they're not the mains. The manga has huge fujo following so it won't be surprising if they want to target fujos more.
>>135542008
>Nadja only in Good tier
>>135542228
Other than the minimal amount of sakugafags, no dude will be buying Bungou.
>>135542129
Sure, but I can see more dudes buying HeroAca than Bungou even if sales will probably mostly come from girls. Either way, it's a harsh season. No idea why Bones is releasing two shows with shared demographic on the same season.
>>135527942
>Best preforming
They certainly have the lineup I'm most looking forward to. Though it could also mean they could spectacularly fuck up, and ruin all these potentially amazing shows.
Incidentally, I'm reminded I should watch the first cour of Shirayuki, and considering I still have all weekend till the new season starts up I just might be able to pull it off. Shame it seemed like the threads were so dead before I dropped it.
>>135542439
It's a comfy show with nothing to discuss. It's enjoyable but it's so drama-free and barely much of note happens that people just forget about it.
>>135542495
Yeah, seemed like it. Honestly I enjoy picking up a show or two out of my comfort zone every season, but Shirayuki is one of those shows where I dropped it purely out of forgetfulness. You miss one, episode, then you end up two or three behind, and then you forget you were watching it in the first place. Funimation fucking up audio with 4 and pushing messing up the release schedule that week didn't help that circumstance either.
>>135527942
>managed to make mob look even more moe than before
ANIME IS SAVED
Do you think Bones will ever get a success as big as Kekkai Sensen again?
>>135542765
MHA outsells FMA'03
You heard it here first
>>135543173
kek
>>135543173
Nah, successful manga doesn't necessary translate into successful anime. It'll do fine enough for a 2nd season but nothing crazy. If anything the manga sales will increase.
>>135543173
Nah since the story for Hero Academia is generic crap and uninteresting unlike FMA.
>>135528037
>>135543635
I agree anon, FMA03 was definitely better than the manga.
>>135538756
The popularity of Kekkai and Osomatsu recently shows a trend towards fujos liking more "quirky" shows with fun and dynamic casts while Stray Dogs looks pretty serious and the character designs look kind of dull. But if it makes you feel any better, I expected Kekkai Sensen to flop hard when it first aired, so my speculation doesn't hold much weight. Fujos don't always follow a specific pattern anyway.
>>135545117
>Kekkai and Osomatsu
>Fujo
How the hell you came to that conclusion, both those shows does nothing to cater toward fujos audience. Just because they're popular doesn't mean you have to assume there some sort of fanbase cult that causing it, they just happen to be popular mainstream shows. Key word "mainstream" because it clearly doesn't target one demographic over the other.
>>135537336
>the same staff of OPM would be great for another ONE adaptation
Please no. Natsume and co. might've brought their A-game for the action animation, but every other aspect of OPM was weak and poorly handled. I can't trust him to adapt a manga well after that.
>>135545589
In your opinion.
>>135545622
Well, yeah. That goes without saying.
>>135541642
If you're talking about SE NOT that shit was giving to a low level staff. Space Dandy and Captain Earth looked great.
>>135541753
Bungou will most likely be one-cour and Hero Academia is being backed up by Shuiesha so budget shouldn't be a problem especially given that they got muthafuckin Umakoshi as a character designer working on it so they obviously give a shit unlike with Chiaka and SE NOT. It'll be interesting to see who gets to work on Mob Psycho since it feels in the realm of their more experimental outings like Space Dandy (in fact its color palette looks the same as the one used in the afterlife episode) doubt they'll get Shingo back but given that OPM was animated by BONES regulars shouldn't be too hard.
>>135542008
>Good tier: Star Driver
Opinion discarded
>>135545483
I'm aware they don't cater to them in the material itself, in fact I quite enjoy them both, but fujo sales were the topic and they both got at least some boost from that. If people want to throw money at a good show then I'm not going to complain, even if their reasons for liking it are different from mine.
Cool

You are an upstanding individual.

>>135539880
They're doing pretty good job with promotion. Both shows already have over 20k followers on twitter, 3 months in advance.
>>135550576
*both shows = Stray Dogs and HeroAca
>>135550576
>relevant
Remeber the mekaku fiasco?
>>135550612
It helps that both shows are adaptations of popular manga whereas Kekkai Sensen was relatively unknown and the only reason people found out about it was because of Bump of Chicken.
>>135545589
Name someone better anon
>>135550664
>fiasco
The show did well its just that Aniplex became a huge jew which destroyed its potential for sales so its teenage fanbase couldn't shell out their parents to buy it.
>>135550664
Twitter is the realm of fujoshi, so it's kind of relevant. Mekaku was so bad at the beginning and had weird release format, which might have turned them off.
>>135529156
what was wrong with it?
>>135550576
They will never sell like Fujo sensen
>>135529219
Always bet on Sunrise
they start slow but they always go all out during summer or fall season
>>135550576
You forgot to mention the monitor at the entrance of Animate Ikebukuro that's been screening the PV since November.
Animate is the real "realm of fujoshi"
>>135529219
Sunrise, Bones, Trigger and Madhouse, and maybe IG
>>135550576
Both manga are very popular best sellers.
>>135545483

>Are you honestly implying that any significant percentage of Osomatsu's 20k+ sales will come from males? I doubt more than 5% of the total sales won't be from girls.
Actually, yes. Osomatsu will have a very large amount of males buying it too. Don't forget that this show is the remake to a very popular childhood show.
Also, women otaku (which includes non-fujoshi) buy mostly from Animate, whereas Amazon is more indicated by men. So, the chances for Osomatsu to sell even way more than only 20k is there.
>>135551816
Otaku don't buy a show just because it reminds them their childhood. They also don't buy a show because they like it or even because they think it's good. Otaku buy a show when they absolutely love it or when they want to fuck the girls featured in it and most of the time they overlap because anime sales are driven primarily by characters.
>Bungou Stray Dogs
Most, if not all, of the sales will come from fujos. The female characters are basically checklisting a shounen manga need.
>Joker Game
It has literally no girls, all fujo.
>HeroAca
Most sales will come from fujos but it's probably slightly less fujo-driven than Bungou.
>Phoenix Wright
I'm not even sure if it will sell at all but the target audience of the games is normies and fujos and normies don't buy anime BDs.
>Diamond is Unbreakable
Fujos and a few male manga fans.
>Super Lovers
It won't sell much but it's a fujo-only property.
>Mayoiga
It seems to have more bishounen than girls in the cast, but I'm not sure if fujos will latch onto it since it's a horror comedy.
>Tanaka-kun
Fujo-only property like Super Lovers
>Kiznaiver
Despite premiering in Pash it seems to be aiming for the omnipander market with half of the main cast being girls.
>Kabaneri
Is this even fujo? It has a nerdy male lead , "cool action" and bishoujo in skimpy outfits.
Bungou's main competition for Spring is probably Hero Academia, Joker Game and maybe Diamond is Unbreakable.
>>135552500
i can't see Joker Game like a competition for nothing, looks too serious and "talking heds", i think will flop soon
>>135552500
I can confidently tell you Joker Game won't sell.
>>135552593
>>135552645
You're probably right. Bungou's main competition is HeroAca. Both are shounen adaptations with fujo appeal.
>>135551453
>Cabaneli
>doing well
Just like Black Bullet and God Eater right?
>>135527942
The last anime Bones made that was watchable was GOSICK. After that they've been nearly SHAFTtier shit level.
>>135527942
I'm honestly not excited for any of these. I don't know anything about Bungou, but none of the others are that interesting.
>>135554281
I don't get it.
>>135554281
God Eater sold like 16k on Vol 1, so yeah. In any case is a guaranteed success with the SnK staff. More guaranteed than kiznaiver even if f/a/ggots get mad about it.
>>135552500
>Kabaneri
>Is this even fujo?
No? Plus it has Mikimoto doing character designs, his shit is the exact opposite of fujo.
>>135552500
Also, Delta has enough pretty boys that even with straight romance it'll probably grab some fujos.
>>135554608
>God Eater sold like 16k on Vol 1
God Eater v1 sells 1,010 as a BD-only release.
>>135554633
Didn't you retards learn eith Shounen Hollywood that that means jackshit?
>>135554608
>God Eater sold like 16k on Vol 1
care to share the weed you're smoking, it must be strong
>In any case is a guaranteed success with the SnK staff.
How many times before I've seen this phrase
>>135554608
>God Eater sold like 16k on Vol 1, so yeah.
What? It fucking bombed by itself.
>In any case is a guaranteed success with the SnK staff.
Oh I see you're delusional.
>>135554745
Because every sane person bought the bundle instead.
Jesus fuck I hate season breaks
>>135554931
So its not counted as an anime release but an extra with the game and even with the bumdle v2 only sold 7k.
>>135527942
Shaft has new Madoka and multiplegataris. Bones has a solid line up, but I don't think they can beat those cashcows.
Still really happy Bones found a way, they had a lot of ups and downs.
>>135555029
>Shaft has new Madoka
wait what?
>>135555010
Those are still pretty solid numbers, considering 2 of the shows in OP pic sold much less than that woth their first seasons. And retards still pretend bones will perform well this year, delusion much?
>>135555029
We don't know when or what the new Madoka is and the Monogataris have fallen to 20k in sales, there's no doubt Kizu will do gangbusters but another season or special will drop again and now its looking like Osomatsu will beat it which one be a first that any anime has beaten a Monogotari anime in a single season. Shaft really needs to get back into doing regular shows again.
Yes its good to see them make a comeback after such a shitty year in 2014. I'm hoping for another successful year in 2016.
>>135555245
What the fuck are you talking about? The anime itself bombed, the bundles are counted separate, its the same strategy they did with Im@s but whereas the animes sold good enough on its iwn without the bundles GE is pretty much a flop on its own and not much better with it. The true tradegy in this is that the director (Kara no Kyoukai Movie 5) will probably never get another chance again after this diaster which is a damn shame.
