Because the nips have better taste than that.
Evan Hernandez
Zombieland Saga was the closest we’ll get to that I’m afraid
Wyatt Martin
I don't know. I wish Ikuhara would make one, it would be fabulous.
Noah Stewart
It takes way more talent than idols, and is much harder to appreciate by plebs.
Christopher Harris
Because beyond doing stuff like one-off musical scenes it only works in the context of short films
William Martinez
Because you don't watch it when they do.

Because making lots of good songs is not exactly easy, nor creating good visuals that match well with the songs while creating a complete and coherent experience and story. It's easier to make just one insert song per episode like mekakucity actors, revue starlight and caligula or idol shows in general.
Though when they can do it right it's pretty great, like one of my favorite scenes of last year:

Part of musical is the grandour of the performance.
Zombieland saga had them sing a routine on stage.
That's incomparable to something like singing on top of your lungs from inside a battle scene like in Macross, or the massive dance perfomances that you see all around in Bollywood movies.
Connor Lewis
is there anything more boring than watching a fucking cartoon musical?
tho looking at how shit the industry is right now it just may be a matter of time....
Sebastian Perez
A good musical not only require good song but also good choregraphy this is imposible to be consistent in a weekly format unless that show have unlimited budget.
Julian Sullivan
Disney's 90s era animated musicals are the epitome of the genre.
Of course, it took the best generation of broadway singers and songwriters to make them.
We wont see that level of production again in our lifetimes.
Nicholas Gonzalez
Revue Starlight
Sebastian Scott
It's hard.
Sebastian Clark
This one was the closest thing to an anime musical.
Asher Walker
They’re in the boy music series, the musical runs in their veins.
Tyler Fisher
Symphogear is kind of a musical despite there not being singing a vast majority of the time. Yeah, more music based anime would be pretty rad.
Luis Jones
Evan Adams
Night is Short, Walk on Girl had an excellent musical section, and there’s always that episode of Space Dandy.
Kayden Williams
But they did. A very good one in fact.
It's weird how the English songs are better written than the original Japanese. Like the money song has different lyrics each episode in the dub but not in the sub.
Jayden Jones
Excel Saga jokingly opened its final episode as a musical.
Grayson Scott
Probably too expensive to animate, nips already struggle with a couple of dance sequences in idol anime, imagine having to do complex choreography in every single episode.
That said the Love Live movie is probably the closest thing to an anime musical I can think of.
Isaac Carter
You mean like Disney shit where they break out into song randomly through out the episode? That would be pretty cool.
Isaac Richardson
>having to animate complex dance sequences in every episode
>have to write thematically fitting songs for every episode
>have to find seiyuu that can sing for at least 12 episodes straight
>have to plan for your entire show to fit in that format
Too much money , too much effort. You need to be disney tier to be able to pull that shit on a weekly basis.
Josiah Foster
Literally Revue Starlight

Western cartoons having sudden musical numbers is pretty common even if the show itself doesn't have music numbers frequently (like The Simpsons), so it ain't surprising that it'd be easier for the dub to change it every episode when it's already a bigger part of the industry.
Evan James
Not that kind of musical.
Connor Davis
Except Revue is a show about musicals, it's not a musical itself. If you had Karen break out into song while she was searching for Hikari, or Mahiru as she lamented her loneliness, or Claudine as she was frustrated towards her rival, then you'd have some traditional musical numbers.
The actresses should be singing, but the character themselves should not be singing in the setting.
Lincoln Reyes
Dylan Stewart
Not a true musical, but 4:28 is still goosebumps inducing regardless.
Kayden Richardson
It would be shit.
Asher Myers
I can't even imagine the amount of work you need to put to maker a proper anime musical.
Austin Butler
They showed us how great anime musical numbers are. Rare, but gems.
Kayden Evans
Best Revue by far, the song is a 10/10.
Dominic Price
>Best Revue by far
That's not "The Star Knows"
Anthony Mitchell
Why is she flippin' gang signs?
Josiah Perry
RE:CREATE best revue overall
誇りと驕り best song
恋の魔球 most fun revue
Anthony Peterson
Macross Delta was funded by the bloods
Ian Diaz
Didn't Merc Storia did that last season?
Jose Lewis
She should've be main girl, and the little coverage she got in the show was already more interesting than the almost dead alien girl
That whole bit itself about them dying early had no place in there.
Angel Ward
This, nothing but plebs on this thread.
