Don't start a fight you can't win.

Commercialized television just tends to rub people the wrong way. Like, if something exists to sell toys you kinda have this idea that it's inherently worse than more artful shows. Right? Obviously it's got no actual bearing on the show itself. Stuff like Gundam or Digimon or Medabots all work really well as shows. But that idea is still pretty well engrained into our heads.

Who knows
As if trying to sell toys was somehow worse than selling BDs or manga

Because /a/ is retarded and has shit taste.

This. The idea of ulterior motives cheapens the final product, even if you wanted to ignore it.

When you sell BDs then the show -is- the product. that's fine.

>>139064877
If anything at all that makes toy commercials like Gundam better off than the manga and LN adaptations. At least Gundam tends to tell a complete story instead of saying "fuck you buy the manga if you want to see the ending"

With the exception of 0079, 0080, and Turn A, most Gundam stories are mediocre or rehashes of the franchise.

And people have a stigma when it comes to mecha OP. They just think "Oh robots fighting each other."

Cheapens it to who, exactly? Most seasonal anime is made to sell merch, even if you want to ignore it, bub.

Literally every TV show, movie and OVA ever made is a product.
Rule NUMERO UNO of show business is that it is, above all else, a business.
