It's 2012, your anime studio has just released the most popular anime of all time. You have exceeded all expectations, you are an instant household name world wide. Even normies think it's cool to talk about. There are posters of your show in every window of every gaming store in the world. Every day a new article is written about your show, hyping it up as the second coming of weebus christ. Instantly there is massive anticipation for more, surely with the massive success this show will become the next HxH or Cowboy Bebop joining the ranks of the elite. I can see it in my minds eyes right now, the discussion that must have gone on.
Team leader :"OMG team we have struck gold!! This show is a blockbuster, we have more money pouring in then we can even count and tens of millions of fans clamoring for more. What should we do? Should we hire more staff? Should we start working on a long term plan making a coherent story over many seasons? Should we set aside smaller projects so we can give our team the time they need to make sure we deliver excellent content and keep this thing going?"
Random coffee guy intern: "Nah lets just do nothing until we've become a meme and then sometime before the next decade we will just shit out a few episodes of whatever and say we just don't have the time to do anything because we are so busy making Generic Moe Blob anime #523536."
Studio head : "Give that guy a promotion, in fact, just give him my job he's a genius."

Go back to whatever website you came from, insufferable faggot.
Christian Green
Woah I was off by 1 year I'm sorry I'm not a turbo nerd that has detailed information memoried about every single anime studio. I'm still right though. Why do you defend this shit, at this rate our great grandchildren will probably not get to see the conclusion of the show.
Josiah Jenkins
i fucking love this website

Fuck off and kill yourself, casual newfag. You don't belong here, you aren't welcome, get the fuck out.

Michael Garcia
>One Piece >most popular anime
Maybe in Japan, but certainly not worldwide.
Daniel Perez
Fuck off, Rolling Girls was GOAT
Justin Campbell
Rolling Girls was great for the first like two episodes and the STONES episode, but it sucked when it tried to have a plot.
Ryder Garcia
even oda said that naruto is more popular
Anthony Hughes
Shit thread.
Parker Jones
The most popular anime of all time is Pokémon not that shit show. Even people that know shit about animation in general know what Pokémon is and can name one character. Even your grandma knows about it.
Jace Turner
Nah, what they actually did was releasing their own rip off of Attack on Titan in order to get some of that money directly. And the owners of AoT were too dumb to search for someone else and ended up with this late 2nd season that didn't even keep the 1st one's staff.
it's pretty clear to me this is a case of the studio or production group sabotaging AoT, and AoT's owners being too slow to realize that.
Zachary Jenkins
Ok
Jonathan Hughes
There was not enough material to continue and making their own version too early would lead to a massive drop in quality, as seen with Game of Thrones.
Jack Anderson
>it's pretty clear to me this is a case of the studio or production group sabotaging AoT
You have to be kidding me
Evan Morgan
Considering the second season's staff are superior to the first, even having an episode storyboarded by Hirao, I don't know why that would be considered a con.
Jordan Thompson
They probably could have released a 12 episode season (what we're getting now) every year since the first season and still not catch up
Leo Wright
Kabaneri made big money, it was the best seller of it's season, and the first big money amazon deal.
Jack Foster
rollout
Jackson Jenkins
To accomplish that they would probably need to raise the budget or there would be a hit to quality.
How tho? It obviously jumped on the hype train but it felt so damn artificial and calculated.
Michael Brown
ronk
Alexander Bell

William Cox
It was going te greedy way and doing a most likely original shit story that killed the manga or being respectful to the original salse and leting go of the money fountain.
Maybe we could have gotten some dope action scenes tho, maybe.
Nolan Harris
I want MALfags to leave.
James Nelson
And now that they have the budget and enough source material... They made a 12 episode season... And used awful CGI for one of the most epic scenes...

>What should we do? Should we hire more staff? Should we start working on a long term plan making a coherent story over many seasons? Way to out yourself as being such an uninformed retard that you don't know the anime is only the adaptation of a source material. Reminds me of idiots wondering what the studio would decide for JoJo's scenario as if that shit wasn't set in stone 20 years ago.
Either that or excellent bait.

>become the next HxH
an inconsistent mess plagued by extremely long hiatus?
Tyler Wood
>the most popular anime of all time
Juan Cox
The problem was the source material went to shit.
It was nice and simple when eotens were genocidal monsters devouring humanity. But then it had to try to make all the shapeshifter eoten infiltrators SYMPATHETIC and "titans did nothing wrong trying to eat all humans!"
No, fuck you. Fuck Annie and her subversions and fuck that big tall guy who is actually the red titan and fuck the lanky tall lesbian who was actually an ugly little stunted titan. Eren is doing nothing wrong by killing all titans.

>experience of this board
Experience.. what? What is it about this cesspool that's great compared to other boards?
Isaac Carter
Was there even enough manga content out in 2013 to allow for a 2nd season?
David Carter
>Kabaneri 2 is 2 cour >SnK S3 announced as 2 cour as well
Fucking WIT, all they so is win.
Eli Rodriguez
No, but there was enough to do a one cour, which is what they're doing now. Season 2 will end at around Ch. 50, which came out Oct. 9, 2013, and Season 1 ended Sep. 29. If they were going to do 2 cours, fine, but they aren't. I don't know why they waited so long.
