Here's my idea for an anime, /a/.

>Shinjiro Akasaka was a regular high-school kid, until one day he meets the girl of his nightmares, Saruboshinoyobi Nana. Together, in this brand new RomCom animated by Studio DEEN, these two will battle hoards of monsters, while trying to find the true meaning of love!
>>
>>139370204
>[Editors note: There are also 6 other girls that each represent a different female protagonist stereotype.]
>>
>>139370204
Pretty good here's my idea:

A boy falls in love with a girl.

Unable to confess, he is gifted with by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.

But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.

Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

Probably because Infinite Stratos sold 35k average, and so I guess they're vomiting these out in the hopes that one of them will recapture that magic. Fuck if I know what the hell that magic was. And occasionally you'll have one that's kind of a success, like Rakudai.

Also advertising the source, but a lot of them don't seem to be all that successful in that regard either. Maybe they are and we just don't have the numbers in front of us, but a lot of these battle academy harems don't seem to receive most of a boost from that sales data we get.

How do these things keep getting made? Seriously, what's the formula? Is someone getting bribed? Do we have people sitting around in marketing room, scanning LNs for the next battle harem and looking for one that's just like the others

I mean, read the synopsis again. Go ahead, read it again!
It doesn't even ATTEMPT at trying to be original. It doesn't even try to stand out a bit. Is it really that hard to try? Or does no one want to try? Are battle harem LNs people writing fanfiction of other shows and just changing the names around?

I mean, changes here and there can make one better than the other, because Rakudai is far better than Asterisk despite being quite similar, but it doesn't change the fact that Rakudai is yet another sword swinging high school battle story with magic.

Is fanfiction even the bottom tier of writing anymore? Because it seems like any hack can get an anime made as long as he has a good artist working with him

The problem, I think, and this is with all these cookie-cutter lns is that the plot and character introductions get simplified and reduced down too much in a rush to get to the "good bits".

Take best girl up there. The easiest, fastest way to rope her into the MC's harem is for them to fight and end with her getting groped. So to justify this, her arrogance and lack of experience with men get turned up to 11 and she ends up a caricature of herself.

I actually miss non-battle harems from the early 2000's, because those shows always take the time to talk about the girls' feelings and emotional weaknesses and insecurities, instead of flashing boobs between fights.

Believe it or not I watched those old harems because it let me pretend I knew a girl intimately. Now I can't even get that sort of fulfillment.

This

the early 2000's and late 1990's harem, the focus is on the girls. Often in a every day life setting. The plot is just their day to day life struggles and personal/emotional conflicts.
There might not even be a MC.
The battle-harem these days might as well have lobotomized cast once they are introduced.

Why are battle harems so great at killing my boner? They really need to stop putting such sexy girls in shows that squander them so horribly. Actually, until Japan learns how to write a male protagonist that isn't a shitty audience-insert that represents everything that a protagonist shouldn't be, maybe they should just avoid them altogether.

Using your logic, all fiction is derivative, so why do you consume fiction? Anime is hardly unique in this regard.

The difference maker is that decent works will try to mash qualities together in such a way that it creates memorable characters, a cool setting, good drama, funny comedy, and a fairly unique identity.

Generic haremshit doesn't fit this criteria. They just shit out a Gary Stu audience-insert MC, rehash a setting, pump out the most generic textbook plotline that you could imagine, slap some lazy cliched "comedy" and "drama" together, often not far form being word for word from other works, and call it done. A retard could write a battle harem in his sleep, and the no-standards publishers would give publish it. And then if it does get some things right, it's all cheapened by the fact that the whole universe bends around a horrible Gary Stu who's a shitty wish fulfillment device first and (barely) a character in a story second. Honestly, those works are worse than the ones that don't even try, because it's frustrating looking at what could have been with a proper main character.

I wouldn't watch anime if this genre was all that the medium had to offer. Last season, I had fun with Konosuba, which actually put some effort into the comedy and characters and had a pretty entertaining protagonist who was actually worthy of the role. Gate was also decent, and you'd be hard pressed to call that a lazy cliche for the medium. For this next season, Macross Delta's first episode was amazing.

There's more than one way to handle characters in a competent manner, you know.

The characters in Konosuba served their roles as vessels for comedy very well. Kazuma and Aqua were little shits (especially to each other) without crossing the line and being unlikable, Megumin was a funny chuuni, and Darkness was insane. It's also great how they made them all completely backwards for their jobs, such as the soldier job who can't hit anything and the magic DPS who can only blow her load once before being rendered completely useless. The protagonist has a love-hate with the girls. He considers all three of those retards to be a complete pain the ass (he wishes that he had he generic harem), but he also likes them. The story is set up around the protagonist having his expectations for a cliched JRPG story betrayed.

Something like Hundred isn't going to tread any lines, have any comedic sense, or have any kind of interesting direction like Konosuba did, or have anything resembling coherent relationships. You're going to have a passive protagonist who's always going to do the right thing and is going to lack any real personality traits that could possibly make him interesting (or he's going to be a /b/-tier jackass who's just as hollow as the above; just a different side of the same coin), and any redeeming qualities that his harem may or may not offer are going to be completely cheapened by their mysterious obsession with his dick.

Asterisk "best battle harem of fall season" lol

Asterisk lost to Rakudai (which was pretty decent)

Rakudai lost to Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst

Let that sink in for a moment.

Yeah well despite the size difference of the studio on a good day almost anyone can beat A-1 Pictures if realistic assessments are taken into account cause they have about the most generic artstyle and approach out there. They wouldn't even step it up for 10 minute Final Fantasy OVAs which looks like it was done by some no name animation company that had never seen the game or franchise before.

Asterisk was actually announced at a Western convention as a super secret cool project, as in actual faith was placed in it being great.

There are honestly some independent web novels and games coming out of Japan these days that legitimately feel like more thought, passion and effort was put into creating them outside of maybe visuals than some big producer backed stuff. Personally I just think it's because a lot of Japanese media companies have gotten greedy as all fuck and just see everything in terms of pure yen signs and there's just not enough of an apparatus or really existence of creative types with enough clout to stand up to their bad ideas. I mean look at shit like AKB48, there might be 48 of them but all the power and creative control including the lyrics, song composition, what they're allowed to wear and even how they're even allowed to live there lives is invested in their fat cat producer Akimoto. Basically everyone below the producer level in Japanese media are just a bunch of wage/salary slaves doing what they're told for their meager paycheck.
>>
>>139371304

Artwork tends to be what carries Light Novels. If otaku like the artstyle and how it presents the waifus it makes a tremendous difference with only the degree you can self insert into the main character coming close to making as much of a difference. They just care about that which is how they can get away with writing the same damn story every few months.

The next wave coming in 2017 is a deluge of fujo and female targeted adaptations and idol anime cause they're virtually the only ones that buy discs at significant enough numbers anymore so depending on your perspective it's not going to get any better anytime soon. Anime is purely about the profit motive and being commercials for other things now, it's pretty much lost it's ability to stand on it's own legs after most of it's actual creative types have retired or moved on to other industries that still appreciate their input.

そうだ is pronounced soda and means soft drink in Japanese. The meme is a metaphor for drinks with high sugar content that cause obesity and heart disease.

When you say そうだ you are literally saying "this is going to kill me - but it tastes so good."

I have a theory these are popular by accident. Only one MABH had to be successful in the past to spawn copies.

There are billions of billions of LNs, so how do you decide on which series to invest $6 and a couple hours of your time per each volume in a market with zero standards that would publish literally anything? You could narrow it down to things that have an anime adaptation so you can also watch it. In theory, having an adaptation to promote it should indicate some minimum level of quality. Then the MABH books ends up selling and producers decide it would be a good idea to adapt similar [identical] titles.
