I know it isn't a harem, but it was funny that he got into a contract with the yamato nadeshiko first, and now with the bro-con chibikko. I guess he'll be signing with his bro soon though, and then all he'll need is a
I don't really care about the show breaking Sorey's attitude, it's more like him being such a hopeless optimist while nobody ever decides to reign him in is the issue.
I don't know. perhaps it will be a split season, or that they want to just release a season each year or something instead of having a huge gap. Selling merch works much better if you constantly have new stuff.
I also don't know where you got the info of FMP being one cour either though as it hasn't had anything announced, and given the rumors it should be longer than one cour as it's supposed to adapt the rest of the novels. it's also not like Xebec has a long history of avoiding shows over the length of one cour. while most of them are kids shows anymore, they still do plenty of shows with 24+ episodes.
Yeah, it's pretty surprising. We'll never reach the basement at this rate.
Ah I see. Yeah, he does kind of have an anime trope entourage
He doesn't really break his attitude, but it doesn't stay unadressed either.
I was honestly surprised at how well this particular point was handled.
Good.
Titan isn't likely to be split due to Wit's upcoming production schedule. Depending on when Kabaneri airs, I'm not sure how feasible next year is either.
A guy who supposedly leaked that Xebec was doing it back in '15 when it was initially announced said that it was one cour so a lot of JP rumors are that it's a single cour. I understand how much material is left.

Akiba's Trip END
Ending with a set up for Akiba's Beat maybe? Either way loved the ending. Funny how the sister kept her memory loss and took over the idol gig.

Shame about Titan only being 12 episode, but WIT does have too much on their table this year.
Eh we will have to see, I can't imagine them letting AoT rest for super long if there is material to adapt.
and I will continue to hope for a longer FMP run until I am told it isn't happening for real
I think we can take an educated guess as to where they'll stop, and I'm not sure that'll make for a better pacing than the previous series...
I wouldn't be surprised if it really was produced as a split two-cours series, with "season 3" being announced right away.
Sounds like someone lost their wits.

This isn't Osomatsu-san or Yuri on Ice.

What are the big three? Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, and Yugioh?

One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto, I think.

Clannad, K-On and Haruhi
nope that would be death note or full metal alchemist brotherhood.
then you have a decent fight between attack on titan, code geass and sword art online.
I'm sure there is another legit contender I am forgetting, but stuff like yuri on ice and one punch man haven't reached the heights of any of the other shows mentioned.
indeed those are the ones that have the title of the big three.

This is what the big three are.
This is what the KyoAni big three are. Though, I do wish it was the actual big three.

Shingeki franchise could probably take the most successful of recent anime if one considered worldwide reach and includes manga sales.
The Big Three is an American thing

It depends what criteria you're using for "heights". Popularity among American Toonami viewers? Most discussed on social media? Most commercially successful in Japan? Being the best by one criteria doesn't necessarily translate to being the best in others.

One Piece, Bleach and Naruto.
Its an exclusively American thing invented on forums. People tried to apply it to Japan and it was funny because One Piece is a behemoth above even Naruto and Bleach dropped off quite a bit.
Its the Big One now.
not really... one punch man and yuri have nothing on the other shows listed even by the criteria you are suggesting

Yeah Titans could almost do it, but as you said One Piece was behind that year on volume releases

According to silly people on American forums, yeah.
Worth noting that the Bleach anime was canceled due to low ratings in Japan. Its popularity is a myth created by the English speaking community.
it's so weird that funimation is doing a 7 deadly sins english cast announcement page
https://www.funimation.com/blog/2017/03/30/seven-deadly-sins-english-cast/
I mean that dub has been out for a while
also it seems that all of sentai's new stuff won't be on anime strike
in other fun news, the recap episode of my hero academia actually beat out the final of naruto in ratings

Yuri on Ice has sold more discs in Japan than anything else you mentioned.

Piacevole Episode 8 - 12 (End)
Finally finished a winter anime. Great development over the course focusing on Maro and then ending with a backstory was great. The injury plot always gets to me, sad.
It left me wondering if we ever get such a plot in Food Wars.
Ill miss Maro.

Is Sakura Quest about that one porn game on Steam?

0.1 doesnt seem like much of a difference without the total numbers.
Though its surprising to me that the 720th episode managed to still chart well.

A Silent Voice is a difficult film to digest and discuss because it's such a dense piece. I would rather have a copy of the movie to hand before engaging in any evaluation of it and that's even taking into account that I've seen the movie twice.
With regards to your specific criticism with regards to the opening of the movie - I don't personally share them. It's been a while since I attended my first screening last year, so it's hard for me to remember my initial reaction to the film, but I don't recall being particularly bothered by the OP, even if it does feel stylistically different to the rest of the movie. Yet, on my second viewing of the movie, I actively feel like the OP generally enhances the experience, as it beneficently establishes a certain state of affairs and character relationships in a small amount of time. The problem, I guess, is that it does that perhaps a little too quickly, and there's some details present in there that I didn't appreciate until I had already seen the entire movie once before.
I'm also not sure if the story would really benefit much from being stretched out into a TV series. Yes, you could give some areas of the story room to breathe, and also flesh out certain characters, but ultimately I don't know if that's actually going to add much to the particular story that's being told in this film. The film does a remarkable job capturing a fairly complicated story filled with numerous characters told over a number of years. It's a rather harrowing experience, perhaps, but I feel ultimately an effective one. Would it's message be conveyed any better by simply extending its length?

first off you know as well as I do that disk sales don't mean much in regards to commercial success. Anime companies don't give a crap about disk sales in general they care about how the rest of the merch sells. (granted series that have better disk sales tend to have better merch sales as well)
second off... that seems really really unlikely.
I can't imagine full metal alchemist which had what 64 episodes and thus should have had 5 times the number of disks released has lower life time total disk sales than yuri on ice.
or sword art online with it's 52 episodes ect.
have any actual numbers to back up this claim?
I mean if you are talking strictly the first volume sales that might be possible, but there is no way in hell a series that released less than a year ago has more total lifetime sales than something like FMA. Especially since yuri on ice hasn't actually released on DVD outside of japan that I know of yet.
beyond all of that, if you are trying to argue strictly for the japanese market just stop.
the big three is clearly in regards to the world wide market and not just japan. and thus we would be talking about worldwide success not just japan.
it's not much of a difference, but it's still funny.
and why would it be surprising that the naruto episode would chart well.
most series finales even if people stopped watching the show a long time ago tend to have huge numbers because fans want to see how it ends even if they gave up on the show.

Worldwide success is hard to gauge since most people outside of Japan still just pirate or use non-legal streaming sites.
If you want to use the number of episodes rhetoric then boy Gintama, One Piece and Dragon Ball probably win out because of how many volumes they actually have but by sheer average its still Bakemonogatari and its practically unbeatable because the only things to come close are Osomatsu or Love Live with event tickets and then the sales drop off after vol 1
And the "disc sales dont matter" is really only true for some adaptations where the goal is to sell more light novels or magazines.

I'll always remember this thread's start date thanks to it starting on the same day as my birthday
Hm out of everything next season only Sakura Quest grabbed my interest (and I'll admit it's because it just reminded me of Shirobako for superficial reasons.) Need to check out eccentric family season 1 before I jump on season 2 as well.
Happy birthday!
