Why Free is so successful?
>>142933378
You need two words to understand why things like these succeed:
Fujoshit sells.
That is all really.
Not anymore
Holy shit, what a clusterfuck of an image.
>#rekt
Man, /a/ was so pissed about their chinese cartoon catering to fujoshit. Good times.
>>142933378
boy tits
>>142935132
Every time I see the amount of fujoshit increasing each season I vomit a little in my mouth.
>>142933378
The question is, why is this acceptable, but if a show with cute/sexy girls does the same, it's classified as "Fanservice shit"
>>142933378
KyoAni always finds a way
>>142933378
>people celebrate that Free! was successful
what the fuck is wrong with you
>>142935767
>why is this acceptable
>free!
>acceptable
the fuck are you saying
>>142936266
Memes and keks
>>142935276
Why? There's plenty of hentai and plenty of harems and plenty of fem/fem and male/fem.
Calm down your titties
How did S2 do? S2 was actually really good. S1 was just 'lets make love and get interupted before anything happens' ad infinitum
>>142935767
Because Free is not degrading. The same way Monogatari and Kangoku Gakuen's fanservice is cool.
>>142935767
>Swimming
>>142933378
Except the movie flopped and the director left KyoAni.
>>142937705
>Because Free is not degrading
What makes something "Degrading" again? Literally, one of the most controversial anime/manga was created by a women, for fucks sake, CLAMP, doujin/manga Circle is an all female circle, that made the whole "Robots as cute boys/girls" genre popular.
>>142933378
>>142938485
I remember that day.
Ileft the room and socialized because /a/ was practically dead
>>142935767
Acceptable by who? Normalfags and tumblr? Because they're retards. Case in point >>142937705
>>142938485
I love that image, because even when /a/is disappointed in KyoAni, most of the criticism is tongue-in-cheek
>FB posting, CR posting
>KyoAni owns FMP
>having anything nice to say about Shaft
>>142938485
holy shit, there isn't a single thread that doesn't mention it
>haremfags and moefags 150% mad over something that doesn't pander to them
It will never stop being funny
>>142933378
>is
Wrong tense, mate.
>>142938200
>one of the most controversial anime/manga was created by a women
and the name is...?
>>142939472
This desu
>>142939751
Kodomo No Jikan
>>142939472
I'm not mad though, i'm just curious as to why people find this series acceptable, but not something like monster musume or To Love Ru
>>142939472
Yep, because that something that doesn't pander to them ended up being shit.
>>142939867
>To Love Ru
But that's shit, anon
>>142939867
I dunno, I thought it was refreshing to have something that pandered to a different audience for one, whereas Monster Musume and To Love Ru don't actually tread unfamiliar ground
I've only seen a few episodes, but I found myself surprisingly invested in the relationships
I'm a bifag though so I process these things differently I'd imagine
>>142938200
>What makes something "Degrading" again?
Really? You can't answer that question yourself?
>Literally, one of the most controversial anime/manga was created by a women,
what has that to do with anything?
breaking news, women can be as fuck'd up as men, wow
>CLAMP, doujin/manga Circle is an all female circle
And what's your point, really?
>that made the whole "Robots as cute boys/girls" genre popular.
Again, so? Dude, are you even trying to make a post with something coherent or you are just throwing things to see if something somehow hits?
>>142933378
>is
Already forgotten bro
Fujos are all about the muppet dudes now
>>142937849
>The movie flopped
It didn't. It just didn't have LL or Haruhi kind of sales. And Takemoto didn't leave KyotoAni he just posted on the blog last month.
>>142935132
Gou would be such a top tier girl if she had a better voice.
>>142940395
Did Osomatsu sell more than Free?
I watched the whole series and I honestly don't remember a lot of it other than Nagisa being really cute. I wish it had been more of a SOL instead of a shounen sports anime with extra fujobait.
>>142940149
And this is why no one like you tublrinas.
is this a good sports anime or is this fujobait shit
>>142942634
>sports anime
>good
>>142942634
It's pretty much Keion for fujos with more drama and homo.
>>142941816
The matsus sold more than anything. Vol1 sold more than both Madoka, Bakemonogatari and Love Live. They are the biggest tv anime this side of Evangelion.
>>142933585
Only a handful of fujo shows have sold incredibly well in the past 10 years like free did.
>>142942722
I would say there's hardly any Keion in it, except some of the moments with Nagisa, Rei, and Gou.
>>142939367
Because it's filtered to show only those threads, /a/ has more threads than that.
Fujoshit bait, but tame enough to attract non-Fujoshit fans.
>>142938200
I'm not the same person as >>142940149 but, it's simple really, I can't wrap my head on how people like >>142939867 can't really see the difference between Free and stuff like TLR(or at least pretend they don't)
Did Free ever had anything remotely close to:
>characters "tripping" and miraculously fall grabbing someone's dicks or pinching their nipples
>"accidentally" groping someone and having them moan
>Ridiculous excuses to magically remove their clothes/have them fully naked/on a sexual or lewd scenario
>An insufferable mc for which every single dude falls for absolutely no reason.
>A bunch of other shitty ecchi tropes
No. Fanservice by itself isn't bad. Fanservice is bad when its stupid, unrealistic and just for the sake of it. As I said, I love Monogatari, I'm fujoshit and I love PSWG or Kangoku Gakuen more than I could ever like Free.
But even if Free was as bad as that kind of "fanservice shit" it still is only one fucking anime in the middle thousands and thousands
of anime like TLR.
Besides you're all arguing that "fanservice shit supposedly isn't accepted". We've had ecchi anime since forever, but the moment ONE (very tame) fanservice anime aimed at fujos airs it gets this >>142938485 kind of backlash. Haremfags and Ecchifags make stuff like Free much less acceptable than tumblrinas ever made fanservice shit.
>>142933378
Because it's good
>>142933378
Because people want to boyfriend Nagisa.
