Why does /a/ bring shitty irrelevant e-celebs up so often nowadays? I feel like we're getting closer and closer to /v/.

anime are advertisements. LN series benefit even more than manga from an anime adaptation, because LNs are not serialized in magazines and they need the additional promotion, in order for fans to recognize the name and find the book among the shelves and among the hundreds of competitors. LNs have a wide audience but each single series struggles to stand apart from the others, that is why in this competitive space producers are eager to pay for adaptations, and why LNs have such ridiculous gaudy titles in order to stand out and be noticed. paying for an adaptation for your LN is a good investment.
and they offer the anime studio more creative freedom in the storyboard so studios like it as well. its a more interesting job than just recreating a comic book frame by frame.

Alternatively get a job so your mind is not occupied by LN Harem anime.
Heck this season we only have Asterisk and Hundred for our battle harem anime.

>>139611011
That only happens in these fantasy battle harem anime, which you can tell how good both the anime and their fanbases are I guess.

Wasn't Asterisk the IS 2.0?
>>
>>139608157
To be fair, Asterisk has a female lead that's not "absolutely" cookie cutter, and the animation and music are decent.

Besides that, just don't fucking watch. We've always know that the Japs have garbage taste, no need to make a thread about it.

>>139608157
Anything unique about this one. I only gave Rakudai a chance because they actually get together early. Yes, I know that doesn't make it good, but it was just enough of a novelty to get me in the door.
>>
>>139612765
Not actually a full Ojou or Tsundere though.

I checked the first episode of S2 to see if her character had developed at all, and surprisingly it has. She doesn't at all seem like a big tsundere or ojou any more at this point.
>>
>>139609862
I'm just here for drill tits
>>
>>139612441
Nah, she's pretty cookie cutter. You're right about the other two things though. That's the only good thing it has going for it, it looks and sounds nicer than other generic LN adaptations of the same type.

Nope, blame shonenfags like One Piece fags.

>>
>>139608157
At least 80% of the dialogue wasn't exposition in the first episode like usual. And the set-up for MC to fight generic drill didn't involve a coincidence and boob grab but instead was a result of the choices of MC and the trap. I don't expect much from this but at least it wasn't a complete paint-by-the-numbers start.
>>
>>139612995
Neither was Stella though.
Actually she was more original because she gets to be with the MC pretty early on.
Even so both are pretty far away of being unique characters.
>>
>>139612764
Did Bahamut do anything well? I dropped it after the first episode since it was the most generic battle harem thing I had ever seen before. 75% exposition dialogue, every trope in the book and awful animation.
>>
>>139613259
They do?
Even so, rarely the threads I lurk I see someone mentionin any kind of Youtuber in them, unlike /v/ where you always see one.
>>
>>139612846
And the MC wasn't the usual insecure beta that is usually the fare in these kinds of anime. I also thought the battles were rather good too.
>>
>>139613878

because separating them shows you actually know why or how bad something is. Your inability to do so just means you're a fucking pleb
>>
>>139614135
Good thing I dropped it then, I thought the girls were bland as hell and I don't think I would be able to tell them apart from any other battle harem girls.
>>
>>139614356
Not even anime.
It's alright impossible to be 100% original, but the thing is that it IS possible to do something more unique if you are creative and good at writing.
The fact that we get a lot of anime with repetitive tropes is more an indication that the LN is either full of lazy writers or full of people that doesn't like unique things or both.
>>
>>139614616
>that the LN is either full of lazy writers (...)
LN market*.
>>
>>139614457
I prefer manga. Which also has tons of clichés.
I'm not even saying they're good or bad, it is what it is. I watch battleshounen, moeshit, manime, harems, SoL, romance, shoujosjit, 2deep4u, edgy grimdark, etc.

They are all filled with cliches. Every genre and type of show.
>>
i think i've seen this show before.
must be dejavu
>>
>>139614576
The only thing I have saved from Bahamut is one full stitch of busty blonde girl and some cropped shots of blur haired girl's ass in tights
>>
>>139614669
Cliches existing and something being cliche aren't the same thing, turd-burglar
>>
>>139614742
Anime is almost all cliche. I mean that both ways.
The entire premise of the show, and the things that happen. Some have one, some have the other, some have both.

But anime' cliche/show per capita is very high.
>>
>>139614861
What the hell is your definition of cliche?
Because it seems awfully broad.
>>
>>139610079
It needed to stop a long time ago.
>>
>>139614906
An element or part of a series used over and over again rebranded with different names, people, places, or settings.

Cliche doesn't mean bad in my opinion.

They temporarily bump a crop of books in store by being shitty enough to convince people to read the rest instead, or just by highlighting their existence in a super saturated market

The problem is probably that decent to good LNs only get anime if their publishers want to make a deal with the devil, aka aniplex
>>
While watching this, it made me think how Madan no Ou to Vanadis is actually pretty unique in comparison despite being kinda generic.
It also made think if I could remember any other LN adaptation that isn't like this, Asterisk, Rakudai or IS.
>>
Generic harem shows are love and life, I'll never get tired of them and I'm glad that Japan never will either.
They also do a damn fine job of reminding normalfags that anime isn't for them.

japanese dont like to experiement or take risks. they like the same story, over and over, with little variation. you can see this in the way they make different products besides ln and anime. You can go into a store that specializes in something weird, like frogs, and the entire fucking store will be 'frog this' and 'frog that'. Their mascots will be a frog, the waitresses will have little frog themed hats or outfits, their catchphrase will be frog centric, all their fucking food will be frog something or the other, and they will never deviate from their preset theme.

I physically burst into laughter reading this.

At this point I'm just watching one or two of these interchangable garbage series for cheap laughs and to cleanse my palette in between other shows. Sometimes I drop them, but for some reason I've grown accustomed to having one or two per season.

As long as all anime doesn't eventually become 1 cour adaptations of ongoing LN battle harems with CG battlesuit mechs, a cardboard cutout undergod MC with a secret "unlimited potential special snowflake power" and a bunch of main girls who are princesses and the like with "totally legit responsibilities and duties and real personalities stemming from those unique and interesting motivations" then I'll be ok.

I'm actually doing Asterisk this season, but I'd probably watch this as well if this season wasn't so stacked already.

I'm glad someone knows what I'm talking about, though. I'm not one of those retards who will sit there and pretend haremshit is what anime is all about and you simply have to love them 100% or anime isn't for you, but I kind of like having one or two around per season. Plus the threads are always fun to funpost in, especially when spoilers in broken English start getting posted.

Actually, the west is already oversaturated with YA novels with mary sues saving the world. At least with their movie adaptations.

To be fair, LNs are closer to porn.

>Anon you might as well be complaining about the oversaturation of YA novels in the west. Especially the ones with mary sue saving the world.

Which novels would this be? I don't even keep up with YA novels but I honestly wouldn't doubt you. The thing is the west hardly gets if not any YA novel cartoons compared to Harem LN anime in the east.

I bet this is all just part of a bigger plan to eventually release a comedic deconstruction battle harem where it just flips all the cliches on their head and it sells like crazy just because of how sick of seeing the exact same plot people are.

That's because they get movies instead if they hit it big.
Some of these LNs on the other hand don't hit it big but get Animated adaptions or slideshows to try to sell more.

Japan also has a much, much larger male audience for YA fiction.

Shitty harem fiction doesn't exist in the west simply because teenage boys don't like reading enough. Which is why all shitty YA fiction is reverse harem instead, where a teenage girl becomes the savior of the world while getting into hijinks with hot, troubled hunks.

Joke answer: Because they're japanese and their dicks are too small to make a bulge
Real answer: Because these shows are marketed at straight men and straight men don't want to see other guys bulges.

Do they not like their own women or something?

Why is this always a reason to drop? Saw it with a bunch of other shows too like IS and Charles/Charlotte. Why is /a/ so gay?

Because they're exotic.

If you're going to write a fantastical wish-fulfillment novel you're not going to make the love interest a Japanese teenage girl that you see everyday on the streets, you're going to make her an unobtainable foreign beauty.

0/10. Fuck off. That show was surprisingly great.

>>139635033
That, and the fact that every guy wants variety in women, and lots of insecure guys like the fantasy of stealing women from other places/men, combined with Japans strong sense of nationalism superiority complex the otaku watching it probably think "Yeah all these foreign girls see how superior japanese men are and leave their own men to come fuck me".

Even among shitty LN adaptations, that first episode was among the worst I've seen.

This protag has literally nothing going on for him. Its been quite some time since I've seen such a flat protag sheesh. And they didn't even show the first shitty battle in the episode what the fuck.

Like show more of the training or give the MC some depth by properly introducing his past or something.

How? At least Ichika has some semblance of personality. The MC of this is off to a worse start already, which is shocking that such a thing is even possible. Ichika is dense as fuck but at least he figured out the reverse trap situation when he saw france in the nude. This faggot sees reverse trap in a towel putting panties on and can't even begin to put 2&2 together.

I didn't want to know such a bland MC could even be accomplished.

>>139638001
What? IMS did a shit job animating DAL S2 and even the movie that should had movie budget. Their deigns were also atrocious, an insult Tsunako's designs. Now AIC+ did a good job animating DAL, with better designs that were quite close to Tsunako's.

Mahou Sensou had zero actual warfare between large global factions, it was just a bad fate/NTR night

>>139638271
I know DAL II was shit. DAL movie was okay, a few scenes were bad but the rest was decently animated. What I'm talking about is the battle scenes, the fluidity is impressive for a novice studio with lower budget. That's what I'm talking about.
