Do we have to wait another 10 years for another anime to generate this much hype?

I think I’ll still be thinking about this series for a long time. It feels like Studio Trigger and Gainax's remnants finally did what they’ve been trying to do for years; they got close with Space Patrol Luluco, but there was a limit to what that show could do as a comedic short. This is the emotional resonance that mostly eluded Kiznaiver, that only worked intermittently in Kill La Kill. I feel almost proud of Trigger for pulling this off, but it’s not a uniformly positive feeling; part of me wants them to go back to making shows about school uniforms from space shredding each other, because this was exhausting. And not to say that because it was exhausting means it is bad, no, not even close. But its a show that shouldn't come every season, or hell every year. Like Eva and Gurren Lagaan before it, Darling in the FranXX is a type of series that we only need every ten years, because its the type of anime that will define the next evolution in anime, like its predecessors Darling in the FranXX will become the defining series of the late 2010s to early 2020s and will have a lasting impact for years to come.
Part 2 of 2

Reminder that everyone hated Eva when it was first released, and that only after a couple years once EoE was released did opinions on Eva flip from calling it complete horseshit to being a masterpiece happen.

Darling in the FranXX is a transcendental masterpiece and there is nothing Yea Forums can do to change that.

You can always rewatch, like i'm doing right now.

Is this the only way to cope after the disapointing second half?

>caring

Same reason every series in that time slot has generated hype for about a decade now. Considerable social media push marketing on the part of the production committee that nets it several times the exposure of virtually any other show airing in a given season. The draw back for this sort of show is that unless it's actually good in the end run then 95% of the hype and buzz gets focused into the period where it's airing and anything else after that tends to be kind of picking up the pieces "what went wrong" discussion for about the next 3 years. Nothing went wrong, it's just people buy into hype for thing that don't necessarily warrant it and that the production never had any real intention of living up to. It's also a strategy that tends to backfire in the long run leading to a series being the be all end all for a few months and then slowly garnering exponentially more criticism then it probably ever would have otherwise as it becomes evident that all the hype is kind of just that and that the show is kind of nothing special or groundbreaking as it was billed to be.

Honestly the fans themselves are the problem though. They apparently can't decide enough what they like for themselves and need hype and to be told what to watch and get themselves all worked up about either by some e-celeb or the production committee itself which will gladly fill that role. It's become almost comically easy for production committees that organize shows for that time slot to exploit to push an otherwise bog standard show as the absolute biggest fucking deal. They also know the exact types of memes, characters and content they need to push to keep people talking about these shows. Basically see 02 (aka clearly the most focus grouped character of the entire show for max waifu appeal) and the entirety of the first half of the show with it's juvenile sex romp atmosphere.

Also this show was always fucked once it couldn't rely on the above anymore in it's second half

This show is trash, fucking Evangelion bootleg with a terrible romance and shallow characters.

Your tinfoil theory is weird. Why do you struggle with coping that people actually like it? Why do you have to do mental gymnastics to understand

That poor user can't understand why people have such shit taste in shows, maybe that's why he does it.

When you have to go out of your way to call peoples taste shit on an anonymous board. Chances are you're projecting.

Also before anybody goes all "OH MA GURD ANIPLEX GUY" if you don't like the answer after like the 5th time it's happened in this decade alone with one of the big budget shows they've headed up a production committee for in that TV slot then that's kind of just your problem and proves you're not really looking to get to the bottom of what's driving these kinds of shows to such heights and then depths year after year. Like it's kind of blindingly obvious and has already been touched on by other posters in the thread as well that have been clearly paying attention if not to specifics. These shows, especially that time slot which is now occupied by Kimetsu no Yaiba have been artificially inflated in popularity for years now by a series of well managed plays to waifu appeal, soundtrack style appeal, expert use of well timed animation cuts to inspire social media memes to market the show via and appealing to shitposter types with waifu war subplots that go nowhere and only serve to drive up traffic and discussion about them in terms of sheer volume. I don't see how that can be argued and you can see in how quickly the show fell apart in it's second half that it needed that kind of content to drive it and had little else to work with.

Of course if you just want to do memes and reactionary shitposts and be all butthurt disregard all of this by all fucking means and happily fall into the same trap with the next show of it's kind and be doing this all again in about a year over that one. Something tells me that despite it all Yea Forums cannot live without shows like Darling in The Frankxx to provide it with shitposting fuel.

>When you have to go out of your way to call peoples taste shit on an anonymous board.
Sounds like the average day on an anonymous image board, don't see the issue there

No I'm pretty sure I get it. People like prime shitposting fuel even if they're kind of being manipulated by producers into watching mediocre shows they kind of regret in the end run in order to do it. No show that had a big enough promotion behind it really offered itself up to being able to do this like DiTF last year and I'm pretty sure it was deliberate.

I don't see what's supposed to be complex here or what's not to understand. As I said it's all kind of blindingly obvious the answers to the OP's questions to the point where I don't see how there's any room for confusion about literally anything that has been posted in this thread so far. It's also pretty obvious that one of the big reasons that people soured on the show in it's second half is that it stopped giving people waifu war and cheesy fanservice stuff to shitpost and make meme's about. Like people were actually left with having to discuss the plot and such of the show and whoops turned out it was generic sci-fi fare with absolutely nothing fresh to offer. The general reception of the show cratered as a result. They should have just abandoned all pretense of having a show and gone all waifu war the whole way through and just pushed the meme aspects of the show full throttle and they would have at least salvaged some of the artificial buzz and hype into the finale.

Like did you want an answer to the question proposed by the thread or not?

Or maybe, just maybe, people actually genuinely like the fucking show.

Impossible

Did anyone else fucking love this shot and the way it matched up to the music in episode 6? It was fucking pure kino, and it still blows my mind with how good of a directorial job the director did for this segment, with matching up with the music and the way we go down from the core to see strelitzia, and then look at them starting to fly towards the core in an almost backwards shot from how they came down from the core. It was absolute perfection, and one of my favorite moments from the show.

You're right, but why do you seem to be acting like Dahling is the only anime of 2018 to be marketed thusly? This is pretty much the way all anime is marketed nowadays, especially in the late-night timeslot pioneered by NGE. And that most certainly goes for the productions of a certain '''''independent''''', '''''artisan''''' studio located about 400 miles west of Tokyo.

This is probably a tough concept for the Yea Forums shitpost lords but I'll try my best here. You see the show itself and the hype surrounding it go hand in hand but are kind of their own distinct things. The hype around the show fell apart in it's second half in the absence of the shitpost fuel that was propping it up. It was always an empty vessel with no proper sense of direction or unique identity that just cribbed from successful Gainax mecha series of the past.

Anyway I'm just waiting for Gunbuster 3 at this point which will probably be the first decent sci-fi related thing not named Gundam, Yamato or Mazinger Z in a while. It's not gonna have any of the production committee chuck fucks involved that Darling in the Frankxx had most likely and provided its a proper reunion of the Gunbuster or at least Diebuster staff and remains an OVA series they'll probably just get to do their thing the right way without being rushed and forced to add all kinds of pointless shitpost fuel for the social media crowd because it won't have Aniplex or TV Tokyo etc. anywhere near the decision making process.

Like imagine the possibilities of a sci-fi show that's just actually good and well realized and doesn't need to pander to waifu tropes and shitposters to prop itself up.

You are just blatantly ignoring how it is different from the rest.
Its unique identity is there. You just haven't even really experience the series if you don't even understand its themes and message.
And again see : Also,
>he doesn't watch hour long literary analysis on the show
That's probably why you can only get the surface level details of the show.

You literally missed everything.

It's the most noticeable example of it and most successful model for this type of marketing and appeal. Don't ask me why but these producers just seem to have had the most success with that type of model by a long shot in the 2010's.

I think the studio involved was specifically picked with this in mind and that Kyoto Animation falls into a similar situation where they can just easily market shows with that model if they want to because just by their name being on something a certain group of people will go absolutely fucking bonkers and practically promote awareness of the show for them. Very noticeably people just go fucking apeshit with memes, spamming and "hype" when Triggers name is on something as well and for what they contributed to this show it's almost like Trigger was added to the mix just for it's brand name alone and to get people making the usual shitposts on social media about it. I mean A-1 sort of has that meme quality to it's brand as well (and not in a good way), but not quite like Trigger, Shaft, Kyoani etc.

Anyway as I said it's really not all that complex a concept to wrap ones head around or so you would think.

This pretty much sums it all up, a lot of hype for nothing. It’s barely ever talked about anymore

Boredom is an emotion, does that make every boring anime good, by your metrics? If I can be annoyed, does that then make it somehow superior to something with a competent plot?

user, its not my fault that you are a brainlet who can't understand what they are watching.

Herein is the problem with Yea Forums and really the greater anime fanbase in general. It literally only even considers massively overhyped shows from the same old producers every season. Not by Aniplex and it's affiliates, Kyoto Animation or based on some Isekai concept, not even considered for a second as a possibly worthwhile venture in a season in the 2010's. You guys yourselves are the problem, you actively seek out and promote above everything else the same generic shit by the same producers prone to over-hyping things and then turn around and are like "what gives guys? Why does shit suck?" every time they turn out to be lackluster and devolve into manufactured fan wars.

Anime is fucked cause of it's fanbases increasingly narrow tastes, petty bullshit, and what they're willing to even consider watching and posting about which is increasingly the sum total of what I mentioned in the above paragraph. Mainly shitposting and waifu wars as opposed to actual discussion. Thus shows are basically designed around enabling that sort of thing more and more. Darling is little different.

user, if you didn't like romantic character dramas then why did you watch Darling in the FranXX?

Again, that's your opinion. Objectively, the characters were well written and had defined Character motivations and goals.

Can you make a single "is" statement that is objective about your My First Romance Anime™?

>complete horseshit

Darling is more about cute characters and self insert than a realistic romance drama

Realistic romantic drama is slow paced and makes you hate the characters instead of wafuing them.Also reminder that 02 is not a human so romance with her would be different than with a human girl

It's not even his. All the text, edit and drawfags left these shit threads already. Only talentless, jobless trash remain who just repost old stuff and beat a dead horse with their shitposts. From time to time they also beg for scans and shit. That's the current situation. I'm amazed how they wont get bored of this, when they make the same threads and posts 4 times in a row

Again, that’s your opinion

>Self insert

>Realistic romantic drama is slow paced and makes you hate the characters
YOU MEAN LIKE EPISODE 14.

Post proofs or you’re a liar

Objectively the drama is terrible. 02 and Hiro’s relationship is just terrible memory loss drama, and once he gets his memory back they have nothing else to remotely engage people in their relationship. The fact that they become the most uninteresting couple on earth after he gets his memory back just goes to show. Hiro and Ichigo’s relationship is just a shitty love triangle to create drama for the sake of drama and serves the plot in no real way. Mitsuru and Kokoro’s plot was another shitty rehashed lost memory plot.

I didn't catch any of the hype when the show aired, but I watched it a few weeks ago and.. it was better than expected, despite the asinine Trigger ending.

That said, its plot and message aren't exactly original at this point, but the fact that A1 and Trigger tag teamed on this is a strong meta message to the industry to not get absorbed into the government's soft power strategy. And for that I am grateful. Also, 02 is the waifu I wished for in EVA.

Look, retards need support groups too.

Point being what?

I just realized something. Franxx faggots didn't actually like the show. They liked to shitpost about it. With this dry spring season with no shitpost worthy shows, they went back to lasy years biggest shitstorm.

This means, that they just miss the threads and shitposting about the show. Not the show itself. The quality of the board has gone down a lot and threads rarely get more than 600 replies at most. There is no trainwreck/hype/shitpost show that could take Yea Forums by storm.

I genuinely like the show. Stop projecting.

Back to- what is it nowadays? Twitter?

Actually the NTR (of Fatty) and Mitsukoko was the best part of the show. Shame their designs were wasted for grbage plot and rushed development with serious lack of screentime together (only when show allowed it, otherwise they barely talked, even manga and fancomics do better job at that). After episode 7 I was only watching it for them and the false hype and shit posting.

I did have fun with this trainwreck, but modern anime can't become classics, because they lack soul and relevancy after long time. People nowdays have the attention span of a gold fish after all. Only autists get hooked to some series for longer than year.

I haven't seen this show talked about outside of Yea Forums at all since it ended aside from the odd moronic youtuber trying to deep analyze a production committee show that was more or less slapped together for mass otaku appeal. It only seems to be Yea Forums that just has the hangup about certain kinds of shows by certain producers long after just about everyone else has stopped giving a fuck and moved on with their lives. Japan moved on to SSSS Gridman later in 2018 which Yea Forums doesn't really talk about at all cause it wasn't made by the right producers but was incredibly well received over there to the point where it has just as much or more fanart in half the air time and despite finishing airing only about 5 months ago. I also think it actually managed to sell better despite having a fraction fo the Limited Edition benefits that DiTF had in it's Blu-Ray sets which should have put it at a huge handicap in market potential in comparison. So that's basically all the buzz with Trigger of late, but during the season that aired of course people were too busy jerking it over the latest Monogatari wannabe light novel adaptation by Aniplex that took over the DiTF time slot and that Japan infamously could not figure out why Westerner's apparently enjoyed more than SSSS Gridman.

Of course all of this mecha stuff is overwhelmingly still overshadowed by Gundam which remains the big daddy of mecha franchises and at the rate things are going will never be challenged at large for that distinction.

Also again none of that stuff was produced alongside A-1 so Yea Forums is still stuck on last year with DiTF until probably the next time Trigger collaborates with A-1 on a shitty over-hyped trainwreck. The only other way to get Yea Forums to kind of pretend to give a fuck about a mecha show would probably be for Kyoto Animation to make another Full Metal Panic season.

All of this continues to say more about Yea Forums and the apparent unique psychological problems of it's user base of course.

Saying it's a masterpiece over and over won't make it true.

Oh the last fake shitpost thread was only two days ago. Everything is fine then.

Go forth and procreate (ok, that may have been somewhat original), old generations prevent the young from unlocking their potential, sending the young to get slaughtered in the wars the older generation started, government oppression, a secret cabal controling the state and human instrumentality (APE is literally a copy of SEELE), main girl suffering from borderline personality disorder, the celebration of the "state of nature", hard manual work and living in harmony with nature (basically every Ghibli movie) and a few others. Don't get me wrong, I really like those themes, it was just all very predictable. Oh, and of course, the POWER OF LOVE. Fuck that.

Saying it's a masterpiece just tells you that's bait.

Yeah, no.

This show is the best example of forced hype I can think of

Can't wait to see somebody desperately and painfully try to argue against this by twisting themselves into a greentext pretzel. It's not gonna be me though.

Incidentally has there even been any lazier and low effort form of shitposting, argumentation and trolling then just taking whatever somebody posts, putting it in green text format and leaving it at that. Even calling it an argument is a bit of a stretch because all it really boils down to is basically you said this and therefore your an idiot because I said so.

Anyway it just goes further towards my point, that these producers cannot survive or market their shows adequately in the absence of a shitposting histrionic nonsense like this. I'd almost suspect that people are literally getting paid to promote shows by disguising topics about them as generic shitposting threads because any publicity is better than no publicity and they're probably gearing up for a Western release of it or something this summer. Like just absolutely force the brand into the consciousness of the fandom even if you have to disguise it as a thread like this and pretend and false flag a bit about it. Hard to prove and just a theory but like it's one of the only way this behavior makes any sense to me at all. I know that Yaraon matome blog does it by making fake fan war articles as pretense to what looks like hitting a quota of mentioning certain things they're obviously being paid to push. Like there's some series and producers they mention just about every day regardless of there's an actual story beyond the headline or not. That blog is probably the closest equivalent Japan has to what Yea Forums looks like these days.

I wonder if Franxxfags are jealous that they can’t compete with a true wild ride like Danganronpa 3. Those threads were fucking fantastic

Dude A-1 and it's parent company are literally at the forefront of the whole Cool Japan Fund thing. This literal show was funded in part by it even.

They are usually more trashy/slutty than 02. Her excuse for sticking to Main Character Who Is Totally Not Kirito's dick exclusively was the lame memory loss contrivance.

02 is basically an extraverted version of my ex and I found her portrayal quite adequate (for an anime character). Yeah, these women do exist, it just never ends well for anybody.

Mods are unironic Triggerniggers. They even stickied LWA threads and made Tattun "verified" in here. Mods fall into one of these two categories:
>they hate anime
>they only like Toonami/Trigger/other western-pandering normalfag garbage

That much has been evident for about a year and a half now.

I guess at this point the entire staff had been high on shrooms for six days straight with a deadline to reach the next morning. That's the best I can come up with and I like most of the show.

This thread is now officially everything wrong with the anime fandom these days. You people care literally more about fan wars, shitposting and trolling each other all day long than you do anime. Why do you even need this medium to do this, like why not literally anything if that's gonna be the actual goal and nobody really gives a fuck in reality.

Interesting, though isn't Cool Japan Fund a private organization? Although they do reference the ministry of education and seem to be receiving funds from the gov. I can't find much on it, except for this article: aramajapan.com/news/cool-japan-fund-flops/82379/

It seems more like an attempt at inorganic growth and entering new markets by throwing money at them (which is what a gov sponsored fund might do, granted).

I still hold up my statement about the politics of Franxx, though. Its even more of a statement with government funding in the back.

Every Aniplex/Tokyo MX sponsored show that's aired in that timeslot for years now fits this description though. Seriously don't be an idiot and just argue and just go look for yourself, its a very noticeable pattern IMO. Here even, just some examples of shows that have aired in that time slot in the last 5 years:

Re:Creators
Erased
Darling in the Frankxx
Kimetsu no Yaiba
Kaguya-Sama Wants To Be Confessed Too
Aldnoah:Zero
Eromanga Sensei
Saekano
Granblue Fantasy The Animation
GATE
The Asterisk War
The Irregular At Magical High School
Sword Art Online (All Seasons)
Valvrave The Liberator
Kill La Kill

Some turned out a little better than others, but all of them came in with or garnered a massive amount of hype and buzz seemingly just because and tend to use cheap but accessible for the target audience waifu tropes and cliffhanger twists to keep them watching and talking about them while they're airing. It's enough though to determine that this timeslot and the production committee's (which doesn't change much outside of the studio doing the animation) intention for it is literally designed over airing massively over-hyped bigger budget projects that have no real intention of living up to anything or to be anything beyond disposable the moment they finish airing and lose most of their social media buzz, shitposting and hype factor. Like seriously anybody remember or still give a fuck about Aldnoah.Zero, Re:Creators or Valverave The Liberator? No because the most current iteration of that type of show is still Darling In The Frankxx until the next example comes along probably some time later this year in the fall or winter at which point DITF is done even in this capacity. While those shows were airing it was same sort of thing with constant shitpost threads and the same kind of haranguing over whether they were any good or not. They weren't really otherwise we wouldn't be having these topics.

It works on /his/ and Yea Forums, but I like your woke response.

There is no logical reason to be mad.

At least 50% of the posts here are from me and I been bashing it. Idk who the others are.

Wow, I know you're trash but you just confirmed it

Half of these shows seem like fillers to bridge the gap between the popular ones. And Franxx was one of the more popular ones, despite its short run.

Don't be mean user, I like you.

No it's Abe's LDP government figuring it can use partnerships with certain anime producers to kind of soft promote it's agenda and culture as required to achieve it's ends a litttle better. Abe was one of the first to realize just how fanatical otaku can be and has even tried to court them a little by pretending to be one in public at times.

It might be a niche demographic but it can be manipulated to do just about anything right now given the right recipe and partnerships with brands it worships. This is part and parcel of the business strategy by certain producers as well. Just snatch up all the brands, staff and such that hardcore otaku borderline if not flat out worship and sign them to contracts and just use them every single chance you get. It's basically why just about every soundtrack is done by Hiroyuki Sawano and Yuki Kajiura these days. I have no idea what the soundtrack scene is going to look like for anime once those two retire or their popularity starts to finally wane a little because they haven't done anything to nurture or promote just about anyone else. Like the industry is going to run into a lot of problems once some of the current slowly bursting bubbles eventually do pop because nobody new and no real new concepts are being introduced to the mix anymore. Like there's virtually no variety.

Let me put it this way, the youngest generation of popular anime staff like writers,composers and directors (who are already clearly getting burnt out) are in their mid 40's and early 50's on average and there's just about nobody coming up behind them. Nobody wants to work in an industry that pays it's people like dirt when there's too much on the line in trying to make a living coming out of college and where they can probably get a job at Cygames or something and make several times the salary they would working in the animation industry proper.

Cool Japan (クールジャパン Kūru Japan), along with "Gross National Cool" is a concept as an expression of Japan's emergent status as a cultural superpower. Gaining broad exposure in the media and academia, the brand of "Cool Japan" has been adopted by the government of Japan as well as trade bodies seeking to exploit the commercial capital of the country's culture industry. It has been described as a form of soft power, "the ability to indirectly influence behaviour or interests through cultural or ideological means".[1][2]

This is one of the guiding philosophies behind Japanese animation industries production and what gets made and how it's marketed nowadays. Make of it what you will.

post the cursed webm, you know which one..

darling in the tips fedora was garbage, especially the forced hype around it.

I mean, if the show hadn't shot itself in the foot with the ending and demolished pretty much everything it seemed to have built up, then you'd have something to argue with. Considering what the show actually did, you really don't.

lol bing pretended there was no wikipedia article on Cool Japan. fuck this shit and thanks for enlightening me.

still haven't watched it .

You would think that but then they end up becoming the most talked about shows of their given season on average while everything else that might not be template as fuck and even moderately different in terms of production staff, premise and storytelling style just gets ignored cause anime fandom is all kind of fucked up these days and seemingly cannot figure out for itself what it likes so most of it just kind of settles back on the same old and familiar stuff that's generated buzz and shitposting in the past.

No matter how I look at it it kind of makes it look like the industry is just slowly dying creatively in the 2010's and that without social media, hype, working fans attention spans via memes etc. it'd be turbo-fucked years ago. It's fanbase is also losing it's sense of imagination and willingness to even entertain concepts beyond it's own safe space of established brands and tropes (RPG tropes, waifu wish fulfillment tropes, shows about people like them getting bullied and getting their revenge on society. you know things that do nothing for people outside of that specific core anime otaku world view) as well as it's desire for genuine adventure and the unexpected. It also seems like it's only growing in terms of how many already established life long fans it can exploit financially and to what extreme and even with overseas markets cannot seem to find an audience beyond the core otaku. Enter Gacha games based around popular franchises as an example that all kind of play the same and have kind of started to become the preferred method of monetizing all this stuff.

Like this show could have been something a little different if some actual creative types got to call the shots, but given that it's a production committee produced thing and all the power in the direction, promotion and content of the show rests with them we just kind of got a generic forgettable waifu war show that very realistically might not even make it into an SRW game.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Japan#Criticism

Oh it's also kind of fucking backfired in a lot of ways and because Japan has been so preoccupied for much of this decade producing generic crap to milk the core otaku and letting a whole bunch of money and revenue get laundered by big corporations that the actual creative types and studio grunts that do the hard work never see any of it has basically opened the door for Korea and China to move in on certain sectors of the market that Japan has just kind of been ignoring and emerge for the first time as legitimately threatening competitors to Japan's animation industry.

So despite the anime industry reporting growth year on year that's more just the production committees revenue getting bumped up and paper growth for the animation industry. The strategy is bad because if those people decide to take their money elsewhere and there's no rule set in place to keep it from happening which has kind of started happening with animation companies investing more and more into trying to publish hit gacha games.

This is the sort of stuff that barely gets talked about where it needs to though cause people are too busy shitposting, trolling and pettily feuding with each other to see all the actual problems and cracks in the industry that are the indirect source of a lot of their beefs with it. They'd sooner make up a shitpost about why x is y then actually figure out what's really going on behind the scenes. Japan has a greater awareness of it all, but Western fandoms that center around crunchyroll, MAL, Yea Forums and the like just seem ignorant as all shit.

You could always just literally wait till the next time Aniplex tries to sponsor and promote an original TV series Definitely going to happen within the next year and boy will it be popular to shitpost about while it's airing, but my god will it turn out to be dog shit.

Zero Two is nothing like Asuka. Miku and fucking Mitsuru are more like Asuka than Zero Two.

All of those and more

Firstly, a new Trigger mecha is always going to generate some interest among anime fans. Their reputation guarantees that you're going to get something out technically impressive from this kind of show. Also their hardcore fanbase.

Zero Two's design did generate some buzz as well from waifu shits. Her seductive personality only cemented this.

And as much as a hate them, the cast with their generic cardboard designs and personality did help the popularity among ironic weebs. People who look for anime for the sake of watching anime, will try and find something that looks "very anime". They also make Zero Two stand out more.

The last thing that guaranteed Franxx's popularity is the butt controls. So people can post on forums and talk about how goofy it is. I guess the female looking mechs with boobs will help with that as well.

This explains Nintendo’s behavior. They are beginning to give shit about indie stuff because they have seen what happens to their native market when they flat out ignore these unappreciated minds.

I have to say that this animation crises is quite terrifying for Japan. And it’s surprising influential to the general gaming market to some extent.

>Rei
It’s no wonder why 001 seems so familiar.

yes
anime is made specifically for ironic weebs, writers and animators go on meetings all together and discuss how would they make people who aren't interested in medium to talk how ridiculous or goofy their show is. Thats why they put boobs on mechs and butt controls, gigantic drills and pantyshots. To make ironic weebs talk about it on imageboards and forums.
Its so damn simple

>The last thing that guaranteed Franxx's popularity is the butt controls.
>Citing literally the one thing nobody ever cared about.

He’s explaining why the retarded controls are attached to asses.

Franxx is just a wet dream for NTR pervs.
It resembles a lot what's happening in Sarazanmai threads; the people who picked it up for the story gradually left it when they started to realize that the show was just a homolust fantasy self-projected by the writer. All that remains now in those threads are fujos and gay men writing homo fanfics and posting yaoi pics all day.
Franxx threads were at some point comprised only by permavirgins writing NTR fanfics all day. The people looking for the story abandoned it halfway.

I'd argue that Kaguya doesnt quite fit, being that it was already a popular manga and didnt really have that huge of a push compared to the rest on the list.(quintuplets did however) Sure it had also had a burst of shitposting due to the dance and attempts to start a rivalry but it's threads are slowly returning to their orginal state because it has a dedicated fanbase interested in its progress. The rest of your point i can agree with.

I mean it's weird, every time it seems like Japan is figuring it's shit out finally and is about to break out of this cycle of mediocrity and sameness that it's been stuck in for most of the decade another thing with exactly the right skin on it and the right combination of the same old tropes in the right order happens and seems to start the cycle over again kind of even if it doesn't actually quite work out in it's own right. It again doesn't help that Yea Forums and the greater western anime fandom continues to pay literally no attention to anything that doesn't fit into a specific template or mold anymore, probably partially because of the ironic weeb thing.

I've long suspected they're making TV original shows with no existing source material like this on purpose though. Ones that never have any real attention of going anywhere or developing naturally as TV shows, haven't even been finished in concept, or even necessarily making sense episode to episode but just know how to keep people watching and shitposting about them at least while they're airing via a combination of the odd sakuga sequence, fanservice and waifu tropes. They kind of wait a month to see what people are reacting the most too and then just aggressively emphasize those things from then on even if it means having to abandon any other considered plot lines or character developments that might make the show. In a sense fans are kind of half writing the show via their feedback and reactions on twitter. For all we know there might have been an intention to use the mecha aspects of the show more but the reaction to Zero Two's focus grouped waifu design and personality was so strong the show just kind of became about that to the point where the last form of the title robot is literally just her Diebuster style, though with Diebuster it's clear it was always intended to be that way.

It's also generally a really bad sign for a mecha show and investors like Banpresto coming from that angle of the production committee when nobody seems to give a fuck about the fact that there's mecha. Not that it matters cause they can probably just make another RX-78-2 Gundam iteration and make more off of that one kit lifetime sales than the entirety of the merchandise produced for Frankxx combined.

Well fuck that's some progress then. After seeing this pattern since like 2013 it's nice to get a response other than low effort "Hurr Durr Aniplex guy" which doesn't exactly make for much of a counterpoint. It's not me that made them and other affiliates for that time slot choose this production model after all, it's just what I've casually observed about it over the years.

Honestly this production model just cannot produce a quality lasting show anyway IMO and never will. Too many types of investors from too many different industries all looking to get something entirely different out of a 12 or 24 episode serial quibbling over what goes where and when. If it was actually just one producer and one vision it might have a chance of working out better but that's not how this time slot works. The big investors on it are Tokyo MX (TV Ratings) Aniplex (Blu-Ray and CD sales), Bandai Namco (Model Kit/tie in video game sales) Good Smile Company (Figurines), Crunchyroll and NicoNico (Streaming traffic) and they only cross over in terms of their business in the sense that they're all pooling money into the same animation project to hopefully make some profit long term out of it. None of these people give a fuck about the animation industry, how the show turns out or anything to do with the production beyond that they get their cut, but they sure as fuck will have more say in how it turns out than the director or studio staff at the end.

That's also what a lot of people don't seem to get about the modern anime industry. There's this fixation on studios, but very rarely do they get input beyond just doing the job within the budget they are given. Usually a lot of them would like to do more or experiment and try new things but it's either just not in the budget, the production committee has forbid it cause it might cut into their end profit tally's or they just don't have the time cause the production process is always so rushed and backed up.

It's not really the same thing though. That's a project made mainly by trigger staff with trigger input. Darling in the Frankxx was very much a product of it's production committee. The only input Aniplex (the worst of the meddling production committee companies out there by far) has on this one for example is Sawano for the soundtrack which will probably just be generic as shit again and make them their cut from his fans that just by and praise everything he puts out and that'll be that. Honestly it's probably just a whole bunch of stuff he was working on yet again that needs to get tied up with something and it was decided to do it with the latest Trigger movie for cross promotional purposes and familiarity. That's how I've felt about that guys soundtrack for years. Like no way he's designing like a dozen or soundtracks to fit given shows every year. At least it never really seems like it in practice.

Frankly I'm surprised Darling got off without having to have a Sawano soundtrack slapped into it. Like legitimately fucking surprised to the point where it's one of the few things about the production of Darling to do so.

If you think 02 was focus group design, you're pretty out of touch with Japanese (not just otaku) culture. If you think some gaijin incels were the focus group, you're even more out of touch.

Franxx is too edgy and dares to take itself serious, so people on Yea Forums come up with "reasons" to shit on it.

You speak a lot of words but you have failed to make any concrete statements on why it is worth watching. Even if you draw parallels between previous works (but don't point any out), that still doesn't justify its existence. Merely pointing at something great doesn't mean the show doing the pointing is great also.
Your hamlet comparison falls flat- the contemporary performance is based on an unchanged script. This is by far not the case with EVA and DitF, to the point where you might as well have left the comparison out of your ramblings.

Notice how there's 0 hype ever since it ended. Denialfags are butthurt no one likes their series

I suppose one man's trash is another man's DtF

I knew she wasn’t a focused group design by the very moment they decided to “humanized” her to make her more like the shitty typical waifu. They ensured that bullshit was permanent by reincarnating her into a fucking human despite all of the shit that happens in the show, showing that the human guy was actually fine with it and even preferred it as it was their true form.

It’s like their brains were so fried, they didn’t remember that humanization had caused 02 to become mentally ill and also caused the shitty fates for the lovers in the fairytale.

Ahem

Darling in the FranXX is a time flop. It sold well, but its fanbase is dead, and people don't even remember it anymore. It was generic, melodramatic, and boring. It was a corporate project (it was also shilled by its producers A1 and CR) that represented how you can play it safe to make sure your show sells.

There are shows (such as Evangelion, Madoka Magica, etc.) that can be considered timeless successes because not only were they successful, but they still have a sizable fanbase, and people still remember them as one of the masterpieces of anime. FranXX has none of these things.

People reference the number of threads it gets (which only started picking up in number after I called them out on their shilling), but that doesn't mean it's not a time flop. It's a very small number of people coordinating to artificially create an impression that the show still has a fanbase after it finished airing. Just look at the Unique Posters to Posts ratio in every thread. It will be wildly unbalanced, especially in comparison to shows with an actual legacy (Evangelion, Madoka, etc) which have a far more balanced ratio while also having a greater volume of posts.

The bottom line is that FranXX has no cultural legacy whatsoever, even in comparison to other Trigger shows like Kill la Kill and Inou-Battle, and is sustained entirely by dishonest fan support.

There are only two good tracks one can listen to just like that, and those are Trente and Distopia. The soundtrack is rather lacking in general, but those two tunes are nice enough I'd say.

I have to give credit to Vanquish for both being a banger and an anime song with actually good lyrics.
I didn't even like FranXX, but this is just blatantly false / bait.

100% disagree
While in the anime the tracks blend into one experience once you actually listen to the OST the memories start flooding in and you hear just how nice it sounds.

Mitsuru's plan may be underwhelming, but he's shown that he's unafraid to go against protocol, to defy orders. Ikuno and Futoshi who both told Kokoro not to go against Papa's orders haven't even moved on from that mindset.
I don't even know how they'll pull off a rebellion, given their isolation from other squads. On their own, squad 13 can't win against APE.

That scene always gets to me, so subtle but so cute!

I can't disagree.

It’s not that hard. You just don’t go ape shit with it and go too far as to give them direct actions over APE’s grasp, and instead have them think about their society.

For example I literally designed 16 (basically a Nine version of Hiro) as the living embodiment of APE’s coldness and irrationality so the characters could have their own thoughts on said extreme example, on how he acts, talks, and thinks. His creation was so horrible that even Papa thought it’s too far but because APE was so focused on war, APE didn’t care as long he was a tool of destruction and order.

That shit right there is a decent example of having the characters understand APE’s bullshit without them making rebellious decisions or directly fucking with APE with stupid that can’t possibly work.

not just a timeless classic but also as a piece of art to boot acclaimed for it's character depth, interactions and level of detail. Not to mention, it's affinities for remarkable animation that really did set a precedent and raised the bar in the animation industry, that proved you could achieve high standards of quality without resorting to cheap cgi shots like most studios tend to do nowadays. There's no doubt in mind that it was revolutionary indeed.

>It's basically why just about every soundtrack is done by Hiroyuki Sawano and Yuki Kajiura these days. I have no idea what the soundtrack scene is going to look like for anime once those two retire
Kajiura retired last year and Kalafina broke up just a few months ago, so we're about to see what it'll look like.

Agreed.
Another thing about the animation that was so impressive is how well they distributed the work and complexity, they would have parts of the show that are slightly simpler so that they could do some absolutely crazy work in the climax of the episode, but they did it n such a way that it's not felt at all and is very clever.
People who are shittalking the management of this project don't understand the effort taken to make something like that even possible.

There's probably no reason to partner swap in the manga, Mitsuru is free from 02's dinoAIDS and is only snarky towards Hiro instead of terminally butthurt. Kokoro seems very happy to finally be progressing her relationship with Mitsuru despite being piloting partnered with Fatoshi.

Nines won't stop them this time, plus they've got Nana and Hachi covering up P13's bullshit too. Probably the only way bad things could happen to them is if fatty becomes a traitor which would be pretty fucking hilarious or if Kokoro gets obviously pregnant

This faggot Who believes there is no reason for partner switch
If Kokoro has growing feelings for Mitsuru, wont that mean She wants to change partner instead. Guess we Will see this saturday if it wont end in cancellation notice

For the last fucking time, dinoAIDS had absolutely nothing to do with Mitsuru's deteriorating health, it was the child fever triggered by his grudge against Hiro

Kokoro switched in the anime bacause:
1. Mitsuru was in danger of failing and being pruned
2. He was a depressed self loathing wreck bordering on suicidal and she felt a need to save him
3. She wanted to deepen her relationship with him and he'd resisted her attempts to get him to open up to her so far.
4. Fatty was being obnoxious
5. Nana was the one who let P13 know that partner swaps were even ;er\ktted and outright encouraged it
But in the manga they're clearly both doing fine. In recent chapters P13 spent barely any time piloting anyway.

Maybe maybe not. There's no official explanation on how it works. Mitsuru was described as always being sickly possibly due to the elixer injection, and popping pills in the greenhouse doesn't suggest his butthurt at Hiro was the only thing wrong with him, even if that took him over the line.

I don't know about the others but for me, Kokoro made that decision not because she felt pity for Mitsuru, but because she was drawn to him. She had said it herself, she's not the kind person everyone thinks she is. Not going to sugar coat her intentions by her being noble or whatever. She want him. Not Goro, not Zorome or Futoshi. Just Mitsuru.
However, it's not fair to judge her harshly because of the broken promise. She didn't know at the time that there's an opportunity to change partners, and even if Nana presented the chance, she will not disrupt another pair so she could switch Mitsuru. That would just be rude.
It was only when Ikuno released Mitsuru that Kokoro saw her chance and she grabbed it. For all she knew, it's a now or never opportunity so she didn't stop and think about her promise earlier.
We all make promises we will eventually break, and promises to us broken by others. Such is life...unless you live under a rock and doesn't interact with another person. Then yeah, can't help such people who can't relate. It's hypocritical to hate on another when they themselves can't keep their own promises either.

Its not as much Mitsuru as how APE is again being shown wildly inconsistent and incompetent. Ironically again when Mitsuru and Kokoro are involved. You cant stress how impossible their odds are and then make the enemy that idiotic.

Also we were warned things would be very different. They may still get together, but under different circumstances. Or theres the possibility we go way off track and they dont. Who knows at this point.

>very different
Nice meme, the General plot is still closely following anime. Are you perhaps a fatfag, Who hopes Kokoro wont leave that fat turd. Guess you want her to suffer with the fatso. Reminder that even manga is heavily pushing them together. Why do you hate the idea of them getting together again so much?

Stop putting words in my mouth and bent out of shape over fucking nothing like a retarded shipper. I'm just pointing out that we dont know where this shit is going now and the general plot is even shifting with Klaxohime appearing early. Pointing that out doesnt mean i care about fatso, self insert and thot.

>You cant stress how impossible their odds are and then make the enemy that idiotic.
I get what you mean, but to single out Mitsuru and Kokoro about poor writing when there other weak areas as well just doesn't sound right to me. For instance, squad 26 sacrificed their lives to cripple that lehman class klaxosaur, and all Strelitzia has to do was fly through its mouth and destroyed it in 5 secs. Yeah, talk about being OP. But I'm not complaining, would rather see these couple happy together.

I see no reason why Yabuki will not make Mitsukoko official, he has changed a lot in their interaction, specially the beach when Mitsuru accidentally groped her, and Futoshi didn't even get to gawk at Kokoro's body because Genista was spared from the suit melting slime klaxosaur. He has made Mitsuru more appealing to Kokoro by helping her with her desire to save Alpha/Delta.

And Futoshi even more irritating. Good lord, I was able to mostly ignore Futoshi until chp42/43. He's more obnoxious in the manga than the show.

what happened

Because of novelty that it is a mecha that caters to women. I mean, think about, all its mecha parts (no pun intended) are infantile and take a sideline whenever it comes to emotions and love. It is even pointed out how our main characters are all fruits with very personalized mechs.

Now, girly emotions and romance have always been a big part in mecha anime, in Gundam for sure, but their romances always knew their place, either weren't very significant to impact war or, on the other end, decided flow of story (like both of Haman's rejections). In Ditf the love and fucking are in the forefront, every fight is about their emotions and relationships first, none of the characters ask if it must be done, they ask if it must be done for whom. The flow of story is channeled entirely to explore teenagers relationships and fucking, everything else is a side quest.

Was the maanga finally officially cancelled?

There is an aspect of Hir02 relationship that stuck with me, the relationship started out as toxic, obviously 02 was manipulating an innocent young boy to dance to her needs. The way it progressed to a mutually affectionate wholesome love somehow stuck to me as unique. Honestly thats the only thing I liked about Franxx and why I watched the show for 24 episodes. Otherwise I would agree the characters are more or less generic and the plot garbage.

Will probably be a year or two. You're just new and this broke your hype cherry.

The poorfags in Yea Forums won't even pay for a theatrical release in west, yet alone going to nipland to watch it.

I think what ruins their relationship for me is the amnesia part. I mean, we can all agree loli oni episode was the best, but then it makes their relationship not like an accident or toxic relationship turned wholesome, it becomes something of a destiny at that point. It's a wholesome relationship - FUCKING AMNESIA - wholesome relationship. So garbage plot ruined even that for me. They really shouldn't have met as kids.

Cage, Code 002, Hiro and Zero Two, Vanquish. It has a really great OST imo. One of the things that stand out about the show.

Looks better than the canon design.

Not really. The Anmesia thing could’ve left a big impact on the characters if it wasn't brushed off so easily. Like 02 accepting the new Hiro and Hiro struggling internally about who he really is and how that impacts his mental health. Besides, episode 13 is the only legitimately great episode in the show because it avoids the bullshit.

I'd give it two years. Before darling and the trash was Re; Zero in 2016. Be chill OP

Franxx was a wholly promising new series that could have gone down in legend when it was airing, it more or less nailed it up to episode 15. People were complaining about some things on the way there but really it was solid.

Then it progressively went to shit. When Zerotsu became a giant mech is when it took itself from becoming bad to irredeemable. And the ending with them both dying (not even defeating the enemy) and then the meaningless pandering nonsense of them meeting again as reincarnated kids, fuck that shit, you are the product of your experiences that new kid romance is meaningless they're not the same characters.

>The flow of story is channeled entirely to explore teenagers relationships and fucking, everything else is a side quest.
I disagree, the world of Franxx was horrific and the true thing that caught my attention. But the relationship between 02 and DARRRRLING was bonus. I do wish Hiro was better written, but luckily 02 stole the show and all the attention.
I still think the world is something interesting though and that anime producers should look at what they did, even if the world wasn't used to it's full potential (Franxx seemed to switch from a love story about 02 and Hiro in a dystopia to being all about the teen relationships, which I feel limited the shows potential). It could have been more similar to Ghost in the Shell or Armitage too.

Huh
If I may offer a word of advice
It happened to me before where I watched an anime at the wrong time. I'd hate it for years and eventually rewatch it and love it.
Don't dwell on it right now, forget you ever watched it, go watch something that makes you happy and come back after a year or two and try to rewatch it.

Taste differs from person to person but sometimes time's all it takes. see you in 2020 user.

>he can't wife a dead girl

She really was the thing that carried the show and allowed you to ignore the other characters which were all annoying as fuck and not even in the "shinji/asuka" type of way. I simply did not like the other characters at all.
It was 02 and the world setting that made this.

People often mention that this show means nothing, but I think they missed some of the meaning from it. There were a lot of interesting things in it that were overshadowed by mediocre things.

I got bored. Up until those eps I was thoroughly into the show. While I understand what they tried with the alien thing, I think it ruined the dystopian vibe. Needed to me more like Aliens x Matrix sort of thing, but the aliens in this show were rather dull and boring. Imagine if they were like xenomorphs and used humanity like the matrix.
That's why I think the show had potential.

Is it tomorrow yet?

I came to Yea Forums around 09 looking for this sort of thing after hearing good things about the cyberpunk anime series. Industry clearly not taking the hint there.

Hype?
Meh, it was fun for what it was.
Something to watch every week.

Wish anime producers knew about the TTGL/Code Geass water cooler anime and how to make the correct characters and story beats to make it work.

It's either safe or safe "risk taking" in that way that makes it trite, or desperate attempts at DEEP nonsense.

Get's spammed a bit. But overall I think it needs attention regardless.

Yeah, see, for me lack of this possible impact ruins the whole plot thread. It didn't, it was a waste of time.

>People were complaining about some things on the way there
A lot of people saw familiar traps the producers were falling into. For starters, having a dystopian setting and then focusing on the relationships and giving these kids a weird utopian world cut off from the dystopia was really strange to me.
The relationships should have built more around the dystopia, that is them overcoming the dystopia and building a relationship in the process. Instead they sorta just go to a weirdly convenient location that makes it more like typical drama.

Fuck Kokoro

Mitsuru does that every night

Attached: 1551993349503.jpg (451x579, 36K)

That’s because Nishigori is writing the fat ass. Also, I’ll argue that Mitsuri is practically worse than Futoshi as he’ll stick his dick into Kokoro without thinking twice, after Kokomo comes off as a creepy bitch. The fact that Futoshi takes the pope role in their wedding is enough to prove that Mitsuri is by far the biggest bitch in comparison. Futoshi also wants to put his faith into Mitsuru, as Bitchigo only strives to rip a relationship into shreds whenever she can.

This is why I fucking hate how Nishigori writes Futoshi, Futoshi’s actions strangely doesn’t follow his obnoxiousness. It feels like there are completely two different characters into one, a completely badly written joke and a mature but a little more extreme, energetic person.

Let’s mention the goddamn picture book. It feels like scrap lore when you consider that love is literally everything in the show, 001 can easily fill the role of the beast princess, and the color schemes of humanity, klaxosaurs, and Virm. Humanity’s color scheme looks similar to the color scheme of the APE society, which is mainly inspired by the same european society the book takes place in. The klaxosaur colors match with he beast’s colors and they sound like very similar societies as they both have a princess as a leader and have the status of being hidden. Virm matches the colors of the witch and even the weird physical features of the witch.

I find that thing odd too. In my mind, they can just have the APE members have their own parasite squads that are raised and treated a certain way depening on which APE is in control of it. Like there is a squad that’s even more laid back on rules than squad 13 or vice versa. It’ll make the world feel more organic, keep in touch with the themes of diverse unity in the show, and it’ll help to make squad 13 remain in the same dystopian society as the other squads in the show.

>color scheme
I have to admit, when I saw the wedding page in ep18, first thought that came to mind was that 02 painted a picture to illustrate Mitsuru and Kokoro because of the hair color. Then I realized this was part of the picture book that 02 read that was supposed to be her story. Ummmm...

Attached: 58e.png (1795x895, 1.98M)

I notice that some of the guys in the background look like typical APE citizens. This makes me think that despite all this time, the Prince might’ve been involved with APE and is possibly their most influential member, as he merges his ancient European background with the modern period of humanity. Back then, his world would be quite violent despite it’s deceptive appearance as Kings and Princes were tied to war in a similar way 001 was tied to war. The kingdoms also fought eachother on a constant basis.

What’s interesting to note that the royality held the belief that GOD given them their positions. Perhaps the witch in the story was secretly that God.

>crying

She should bring down her knees of it hurts so much. I mean, Mitsuru is a big guy already, she's just being greedy right there.

I unironically think she looks ugly. Not just there but her design in general is unappealing to me I think her hair clashes weirdly with her skin. She's also a bad person in the anime and I thought it would take a more nuanced approach with hir02 but...
