Why the japs are so mean?

>>
>>89249820
I thought they were Japanese...?
>>
>>89249722 (OP)

Because they live in a society where young men and women aren't fucking and making kids due to their social awkwardness. Watching Watamote makes them realize how pathetic their existence truly is.

>>
>>89250161
That didn't happened yet
>>
>>89249722 (OP)
The japs only like their 2D women to be perfect pure waifu-material.

So when an ugly 2D gal who is based on the pathetic socially awkward fujoshis/otakus arrives and remind them of their virginity, their jimmies are rustling on an abstract level of existence.

I mean just look at her: She's a beta jap who, no matter how she sees it, won't admit that it's her fault if she's a reject. Moon people, don't try to tell me that such a premise didn't ring any bell.

Too bad that, unlike the west, they can't laugh at themselves.

it didn't really deserve an anime.

its not a bad series but animating it doesn't improve on anything. what is the incentive to own it on disc? it's not pretty to look at and there's no reason to watch it more than once. japs may still enjoy it or buy the comic.

Imagine if anime was to the United States as cartoons were to Japan. Would a series featuring a fat girl trying desperately to become a popular figure in her high school be popular?

That's pretty meta. I think /a/ is going to reach a point where they start analyzing preorders the moment an anime is annouced

Karneval sold pretty well

the first number is the amazon ranking. the 2nd one is preorder points.

a high ranking translates to a quicker accumulation of points and is a snapshot of current popularity.
the pre-order points is total sales performance.
>>
Eh. It's not like we're getting a S2 anyway. Though I do hope it boosts the manga sales.

That being said, I think I'll go and buy the manga again.

Do not worry friend, for the anime market is slowly becoming more gaijin oriented and soon Japan's shit taste will not matter. Just ask Trigger.

If I was the company I would seriously consider to export this series to western countries. They'd sell three or four times more even without dubs. The problem is that the anime industry is a fucking closet.

>>89250863

The opening theme-song is fantastic if you look at it from a Western perspective.

We all, and I mean ALL of us, tried to be edgy faggots between 7th to 10th grade. Whether it was through dressing in trashy clothing from Hot Topic, acting like a retard from some MTV show, bragging about how unique our tastes in (music, television, clothing) were, ect., we're all guilty of "rebelling" against the system somehow. The screamo-pop-punk opening is a reflective of those awkward years when we were trying to find ourselves.

>>89251009
Free! is selling better than Watamote.

This isn't bombing.

>anime original good end
I agree that, marketing-wise, this is a good way to save an anime and boost the sales in moonland, but it would totally ruin the spirit of the original serie and the manga, assuming it keeps going, would turn into shit to fit the anime.
You really want this to happen, just for a few sales?

Not good because it doesn't necessarily end on a good note, but you know, with the chance of a good end or something.

But from a marketing stand-point, it's better to go for a good end so that otaku and neets can think that if they do nothing long enough their lives will magically get better.

Her powers made for an interesting concept but were ultimately just a gimmick for them to make the same 'manabe no ecchi' jokes over and over again.
The rest of the humor was equally awful.
None of the characters were likeable.
The final arc was painfully bad.

As far as I'm concerned it only lasted two episodes.

Why are you all relying on Japan to make the series sell well?

WataMote seems to be way more popular on Western sites than it is on 2ch and the like, and nothing prevents you from pre-ordering and contributing to the sales yourself.

Instead of bitching about it, how about you let your money do the talking?

I hate the characters of the series, but the theme seems to be "see this little shits? Don't be them, they're pretentious idiot fucks." Or at least, that's what I can get out of it. I think a sharper and more realistic approach to the designs, while still being traditional non-rotoscope, even if they're ugly like Satoshi Kon characters, would have make Aku no Hana a perfectly reasonable success.

I think I know the reason for Bebop's "flop" in Japan. As somebody explained to me once, around that time, the episode of Eva where Shinji's father made him kill his friend caused a backlash because it was considered traumatizing (causing the cut budget for the last episode). Then censorship of anime really took off and caused the first few episodes of Bebop to be butchered.

That may or may not be the real reason. Depends on if that person was bullshitting or not.
