T minus one hour and 45 minutes until the new Zestiria episode airs.
I completely forgot what happens after they reach Lastonbell in the game besides fighting Sergej and eventually getting the temples after Pendrago and it looks like they're gonna do their own thing already anyway.
Owen Miller
>one hour left >no one cares OK.jpg I guess I can just post girls until the episode starts.
Nathaniel Phillips
I care. It's still too soon anyways.
Edna will make me care more though.

Is bilibili working? I only get a black screen with two anime girls.

I take it from the screencaps this is still the Rose show, with little to no screentime for the others, much less bait for the fujos?
Ufotable must be trying to sink themselves
Juan Stewart
And here we have the characters who are all more popular and relevant than Rose getting sidelined.
Ufotable deserves their shit sales.
Jordan Wilson
They'll fuck up Touken Ranbu, watch.
Though at least it will make companies aware of the fact that it's Ufotable that's the problem, not the IP.
Brandon Evans
Nah, just no one cares to post Sorey or Mikleo caps.
William Howard
Touken Ranbu has a different director.
Aiden Garcia

Andrew Howard
They do, in fact they're using their in house writers for Zestiria.
Considering how they also fucked up God Eater, at this point it's foolish to be optimistic about Ufotable.
Sebastian Perez
The ED sounds and looks way better than the OP.

Jack Kelly
Interesting, Hikaru Kondo himself is indeed handling the script. Curious that the studio founder himself would bother with such a role. Honestly I don't give a shit if the show panders to fujos since I'm not one and so far Zestiria is just an inoffensive generic JRPG tale so it's no big deal.

And they'll once again feel the burn when their BD sales tank.
>two irrelevant waifu characters cause trouble for the game >neither waifu are really popular Ufotable >let's focus on them
Jaxson Scott
This actually makes a bunch of more sense over Zaveid suddenly being there when Dezel dies to replace him. Since Alisha is going to get her purify Ladylake arc with Maltran shenanigans she needs a Seraph. And Uno is too much of a non character to use.
Carter Roberts
Jesus you are the biggest sperg I've seen in a while and I've been in threads with XV-KUN
Cooper Myers
>Hikaru Kondo himself is indeed handling the script. Curious that the studio founder himself would bother with such a role. Which makes it worse because it's essentially showing that their incompetence is from the very top.
You'll see the problem with focusing on Alisha and Rose when you get to the ending.
Wyatt Scott
I'm not even the only person pointing this out.
I'm sorry if the truth hurts, but Ufotable is incompetent.
Connor Sanchez
>Ufo making Alisha and Rose more relevant than the actual MC.
Yes, I should watch this
Aaron Anderson
I just can't bring myself to share your pessimism but we'll see. I didn't mind the focus on Alisha in the first season to be honest. Rose comes off as a bit of a mary sue at times but she could use an arc and we'll get it out of the way soon.
Adrian Bell
user's autism aside, sidelining the protagonist in a setting where he actually matters is generally not a good idea.
Brayden Fisher
Everyone got the fucking memo already. It isn't selling because Ufo didn't pander to fujos. You don't need to post the exact same thing in every post you make in every Zestiria thread that exists. You just sound like a whiny salty bitch because it wasn't what you wanted.
Ryder Mitchell
>Thinks Kondo is incompetent
If you think an anime studio should focus on things that increase BD sales you are a giant retard. UFO figured out ages ago that it's best to get tertiary means of income which is why they opened up multiple cafes that sell merch and opened up theatres, and probably get income due to how much money they bring into the city of Tokushima like how PA works gets income from the city they're in.
Brandon Collins
The problem is that Rose and Alisha are actually irrelevant, and they're side lining all the relevant characters, including the MC, to give them more screen time.
Brody Baker
Not my problem because I don't give a shit about Sorey and his story. Rose and Alisha are far more fun to watch.
Sebastian Williams
Shit show. Dropped.
Ethan Thomas
Took you half a year?
Isaiah Rivera
But retard they're still an animation studio, and if they can't move sales and even piss of fans, then why should IP holders give them their IP?
And if they lose IPs then what merchandise can their cafe even sell?
Ayden Long
>>yfw they include female characters
It would be awesome if they're badass politicians and rulers willing to send their pretty boys to battle
Michael Ortiz
Did it ever cross your fujoshit mind that not every studio wants to pander to the lowest common denominator just for easy disc sales? ( That are increasingly becoming less and less important as Chinese streaming comes into play and increases merch sales)
Colton Reed
Rose is fucking garbage.
Alexander Morgan
The cutest.
Ryder Long
Except half of these posts aren't even me.
Again just because you're upset about the truth, doesn't make it any less so.
Xavier Martin

Nolan Scott
He's always top tier, even in the game he's a bro.
Ryder Collins
Didn't it ever cross your mind that animation studios are businesses in business to make money? If a studio proves that they don't understand their own audience then why should IP holders trust them with their IP?
Christian Lee
Most IP holders could give less of a shit if you've seen the state of adaptations across any medium over the past decade. They literally only care about getting the name out to as many people.
William Perez
>died from an illness A gaping throat wound is not what I would call an illness.
Anthony Allen
They do care if people start bashing the IP because the advertisement media being mishandled.
