Pretty much guaranteed to be great design and animation wasted on absolutely terrible storytelling characterization and structure. I can't wait till the second half where everybody just starts randomly betraying each other and constantly switching sides, allegiances and goals to the opposite extreme every couple of episodes. Who is going to be the pretty boy that is ungodly amazing at everything and who keeps dying and coming back to life anyway. These seem to be pretty much staples of Okouchi writing at this point. Also worth considering is how much of the show will have shitty Sawano drop rap vocal tracks drowning out the dialogue in scenes versus normal BGM as has been the case with him pretty much since Kill la Kill.

I want Rolling Girls back.

>Also worth considering is how much of the show will have shitty Sawano drop rap vocal tracks drowning out the dialogue in scenes versus normal BGM as has been the case with him pretty much since Kill la Kill.
That's the director and the sound director's mistake though. Nanatsu no Taizai and Owari no Seraph barely had vocal songs too.

>>137399152
The only good things about Rolling girls were the animation of the first two episodes plus some climaxes at the end of each arc, some backgrounds and the music.

>>137399004

Don't forget how it has virtually the same casting as just about every other big budget popular looking thing now. Maaya Uchida officially confirmed for every show since about mid 2014. I still have no fucking clue how she and Sumire Uesaka who surprisingly isn't in this rose so ridiculously fast in the industries seiyuu casting over the last few years but it's absolutely fucking insane. Even Ai Kayano, Yuuki Aoi and Saori Hayami don't get this many roles.

I don't know just every show feels like it must have 33% of the same people involved in it all the time. Gotta have that seasonal Sawano soundtrack too.

I kind of hate having to resign myself to knowing this show is going to look really pretty at least early on but end up really really really fucking bad and just an absolute clusterfuck probably within a month or so. A part of me is still holding on to the slimmest hope that it can just hold together somewhat and at least be a guilty pleasure but when I look at the staff I just know they'll find a way to make it completely intolerable to anyone besides MAL Hypetards.

>>137399604
I don't know why everyone thinks BnHA is some huge hit just waiting to happen. The biggest WSJ fighting adaptation recently was JoJo, and even that only hit 20k. Macross has at least as much selling potential as BnHA.

>>137400256
I predict that BnHA will boost a lot the manga, probably AssClass level. The DVD/BD won't sell thought, just like popular shonen adaptation (AssClass, NNT, Magi, Arslan Senki...)

>>137401058
>>137400256
I think it will also air on the popular anime slot on MBS (or TBS I'm not sure) on sunday at 5pm in Japan. Magi, Nanatsu no Taizai and Arslan Senki all aired in this timeslot and were extremely popular.

>>137398809
Dat hair and costume

>>137401309
It is

For those who were curious about the show's episode length, it'll run for full two cours. I also had a strong feeling SnK's second season will air this autumn.

>>137402571
>it'll run for full two cours
Has it been confirmed besides noitamina not announcing anything for Summer? If SnK S2 really air this year their productions are doomed.

>>137403075
>Has it been confirmed besides noitamina not announcing anything for Summer?

Now that you mentioned it, since noitaminA didn't announce anything for summer, it further confirm it'll be 2-cour. And yes SnK 2 is scheduled for this year.

>>137398809
/a/ will be fapping over the girls for the whole season and will be upset their favourite girl(dual wielder I expect) does not win even though it isn't a romance

>>137400256
>I don't know why everyone thinks BnHA is some huge hit just waiting to happen.
I feel the same way about people who think Kabaneri is gonna be same especially when its getting very little buzz and everyone is saying the same thing about it in the West and in Japan; THIS LOOKS LIKE AN SNK RIPOFF. It makes sense to think BNHA will do well but there's nothing about Kabeneru that screams top seller.

>>137399604
>It will be the blockbuster of next season,
I remember people said the same thing about Owari no Seraph a year ago. And look how that came about.

Were both highly successful because their source of material was already popular retard. Remember Kurozuka? I suggest you shut up.

Kek.

I'm not saying this is obviously going to do well, I'm saying it makes sense to rate its potential higher than fucking BnHA.

Yes, battle shounen is a genre. And I'm also considering the WSJ part in its chances, but I didn't have an easy way to say that without using an awkward amount of words.

>>137404121
Owari was still among the most popular anime of its airing seasons.

>>137404795
Who is Araki?

>>137404803
You're shifting the goalposts, he's done several highly successful shows, he's nowhere near a literal who. And GC sold like 9K, it's not some obscure shit in Japan even if it's nowhere near as big as it was on the Western internet.

Must be nice being stupid.

>>137404803
Source being popular doesn't mean the anime will be popular. A lot of people discovered Death Note, Hischool of the dead and SnK thanks to their anime.

>>137404803
>Remember Kurozuka
The fact that you remember irrelevant shit he directed nine years ago is evidence itself that he's not a literal who. And on that note, remember Tytania? I guess that means Noboru Ishiguro is a literal who, as well.

>>137404891
>You're shifting the goalposts
You're grasping for straws. Both DN and SnK would have done well if anyone was at helm, the gross incompetence of the adaptation of SnK is proof of that
>>137404944
>A lot of people discovered Death Note, Hischool of the dead and SnK thanks to their anime.
Wrong on all accounts dumbfuck, Snk was already a million seller before the anime and DN was beating fucking OP in sales before the anime.
>>137405000
>The fact that you remember irrelevant shit he directed nine years ago is evidence itself that he's not a literal who.
It wasn't 9 years ago retard. And it proves my point quite well, DN and SnK were successful because of their source of materials not Araki.

Is there a new anime that aired at the same time and was more popular ? The answer is no.

>>137405082
>You're grasping for straws. Both DN and SnK would have done well if anyone was at helm, the gross incompetence of the adaptation of SnK is proof of that
That's not actually the point. His name is known. That's what not being a literal who means. No one watches shows for Yamakan, either, but that doesn't make him a literal who.

>>137405120
Yeah, that Tokyo Ghoul anime sure sold almost as much as SnK's, didn't it?

>>137405000
Who is Noboru Ishiguro?

>>137404891
You're not listening, those shows were successful because the source of material was already popular retard which is why Araki isn't credited to their success.

>GC sold 9k
Cool horseshit bro. GC was poorly recieved and had a huge drop in sales after the first volume that was elevated by event ticket offers.
>>137405000
That's not his point at all. Araki directed Kurozuka but nobody fucking remembers it or cares about it. I wonder why?

Mo you're a literal who if all you do if piggyback on the success of the property instead of creating shit yourself. That's why nobody knows who the director of the Pokemon anime is.

>>137405471

My entry level friend can't even name a single anime director. The only person in the industry newshits know is Butcher.

>>137405627

Well it sold over 6k and got great ratings so I guess its a bigger success than Owari no Seraph.

Doesn't change the fact that SnK was popular and successful before the anime so it had nothing to do with Araki also all that is just backlog. So you're still wtong in that regard.

>>137405833
It's true, though. BnHA has the same "critical acclaim" that Urobuchi has, or that every Aniplex show gets in the magazines they pay off, or that whatever superhero movie comes out next will probably get. Not from people with actual critical abilities or taste, but from what are effectively random viewers who happen to be paid for their opinions.

>>137405875
>But people know who Araki is.
Yes they know the mangaka who created Jojo is but they don't know the retard who directed Kurozuka is.

>>137405943
This. If the reviewers are the same as the audience, then every popular piece of media ill be critically acclaimed, and their role becomes redundant.

Where did you get that? The popularity of an anime can be judged on different criteria : DVD/BD sale numbers, original material sale boost, ratings, ... you don't have to get all of them to be successful.

Considering everyone ITT seems to know his name and shit he did last decade, I'd say he is.

>>137406170
Why do people keep spouting this bullshit? Whether an anime boosts the sales of the source of material doesn't negate the fact that its a failure itself if the BD/DVDs sell like shit. People need to remember that there's several sponsors and companies involved in the anime's production and if the show fails to make bank then they get nothing out of it.

>>137406352
>Considering everyone ITT seems to know his name and shit he did last decade

Usually a lot of the sponsorship for shows like that comes from people with a vested interest in the manga, both the publisher and otherwise. Boosting the manga and selling merchandise serves certain interests more than selling disks. No idea how that plays out with Seraph specifically, though.

>>137406587
>Usually a lot of the sponsorship for shows like that comes from people with a vested interest in the manga, both the publisher and otherwise.
Yeah like Warner Bros right? They're all about printed media.

>Boosting the manga and selling merchandise serves certain interests more than selling disks.

This is only true for the publisher, if the anime fails then no merchandise will be produced.

>>137406358
It depends on who is in the production comittee. If the the original support get a boost the editor will be pleased. If the music sells a lot the company producing the music will be pleased. If the derivatives are popular the companies behind them will be pleased. Of course those product need to reach a certain level of success to balance the lack of DVD/BD sales, but poor DVD/BD sales doesn't mean that the anime bombed.

>>137406587
The people making the anime still won't get any money from manga sales. Only BD sales and a percentage of merch sales.
