Animation aside (that scene with Rossweisse drinking was especially bad) I'm having fun. Minimal Issei angsting over his relationship with the girls and plenty of ecchi scenes. Aika getting plenty of screen time also makes me very happy.

So, there was an interesting report about the anime industry
http://aja.gr.jp/english/japan-anime-data

Some notable points
-The graph above is in billions of yen
-The Japanese market has stagnated, only rising 3.8% since 2013
-The remainder of the growth since 2013 is because of China, Korea, and the West
-More anime are being produced each year since 2011, with 356 shows in 2016
-The industry itself has seen little to no benefit from the growth, because almost all of the overseas money goes to licensers, publishers, and (obviously) overseas companies

What do you guys think of this? I think that the trends have basically gone hand in hand with the Western mainstreamization of anime and the continued degradation of the fandom since Shingeki aired.
But regardless of what you think about the West, it's definitely a bad thing that the market in Japan is stagnating and that the studios are still not getting any money.

It seems kind of backwards for TV Tokyo to leave, but Otter Media/AT&T/Chernin are definitely trying to capitalize on CR as much as possible. They've been the majority stakeholders since 2013 anyway so this was a natural next step for them.

 No.24541

Everyone seems too focused on the western demographic, but nobody talks about the chinks or the koreans, who seem to be the the ones actually pumping profit margins up.

I wonder how they are going to influence things in the long run.

Probably not very much, besides sapping all sorts of revenue. Maybe it's because their cultures are not all too different, but the Chinese-Japanese co-productions recently have pretty much just been regular anime, and a couple them have even been pretty enjoyable.
Americans are more likely to disrupt things, as they are known to do.

They honestly seem to like the same sort of stuff the Japanese liked five years ago. They even have their own SAO and by some accounts it's objectively better, although I wouldn't know.

This series seems to be trying to use the dated terminology and stylistic of the original with modern setting, and isn't managing it well. I mean, it might be okay if you find this stuff nostalgic, but I don't. Also the plot is squarely the motw with overarching enemy cliche. But, minor problems aside, it's not doing much for the characters, and is doing even less as worldbuilding. I can wave off that the dad waited for ages to tell Mana the way to beat the monster, but I can't handle not knowing why this actually worked. Should I continue watching? Just did the third ep, and I doubt it'll ever get better.

I encourage you to watch episode 4, just because I dont feel I shouldn't be the only one who had to suffer through it. It's about the kid who told Mana about Kitarou in the first place and he's obnoxious as hell.
5 was a bit better, but I think you're pretty much on point with everything you said there so if you're not feeling it by now I doubt there'll be much for you.

I can sincerely say this anime is trash. It would have been the most mediocre shit there is, but when people are this much up their ass it doesn't deserver even that much.
This anime was made in 720p, downscaled and them upscaled back. The director is making a decade old bad meme into reality and thinks that makes it more artsy. Meanwhile the animation is barely existing and the fight choreography is a joke. Those two should have been the most important aspects of the show, but it are amateurish, cheap garbage instead. The 50-year anniversary anime of an emblematic manga/anime couldn't get even that much right. The story is as generic as you would expect, as are the characters, the setting and the general message. There is absolutely nothing remarkable about this. The people that are making it are not even trying to make something worthwhile.
Only a fucking gaijin can look at this trainwreck and praise it.

All I can really say is it does it for me. The entire tone I find extremly appealing and enough to elevate what is, like you said, a standard boxing story into something really enjoyable.
What about the music at least? If I was to point to one element that stands out on it's own it'd probably be that.

 No.24510

I watched Machine-Doll I can deal with an upscale. There have been a few QUALITY moments that have made me not too happy though. Even with a bland story some of the dynamic scenes and music definitely make it enjoyable.

I have probably misguided faith that the show will take a nice turn, and become it's own. But for now it's good enough for casual watch.

It is struggling between being Tokyo Ghoul and something that actually would have been half-descent. But now with whitey I fear it is going to be gone for good.

When will I be able to go on a date with my full AI girlfriend like this?

 No.24464

Only during the time window between the moment when AI becomes intelligent enough to have a romantic relationship and the moment when it grows too intelligent to want to date you. I predict that the second development will take place before the first, and so the time window will be negative. Trust me, I just read a paper by John McCarthy.
