Why didn't Maidragon flop?

Why didn't Maidragon flop?

Best girl Tooru saved the entire show.

Because chorogons are cute

It flopped though. Barely selling more than phantom sales = a huge flop

It sold like 3.6k, not counting the kyoani store. Flops are below 3k.

Tooru is top tier seasonal wifey material, and Kanna memes.

It reached Umaru-chan levels of visibility so Maid Dragon did not flop

Well first VEG then Archery and there was also a "See You Next Stage" at the end of Free movie so presumably Free S3. Maybe after those though.

Isn't the see you next stage because there has always been 2 movies announced for free?

No. There were 2 recap films (timeless medley) that already aired in the summer and a new film (take your marks) which just got screened.

I'm guessing they're really pushing for an Olympics themed season.

I don't watch Free but its by far their most profitable series and the vast majority of Kyoani merch (75%) at the event right now is Free. I get the feeling thats its kind of dated in its genre now though so they probably want to pass the torch to Archery Boys but right now S3 makes a lot of sense.

Hopefully the movie will flop so they don't make a S3 any time soon. I tried watching it and it sucked and I don't want them to waste time on more.

You're not taking animation budget into account. This obviously had a higher animation budget than other pandering animes of it's kind.

Not really, Maidragon was pretty low key, besides it's been confirmed that KyoAni budgets are lower than average.

Because it's the most wholesome and comfy anime around in recent times.

>s2 when

Needs more manga stuff to adapt

stale facebook-tier jokes can only go so far.

Given the announcement at the end of the movie, I'd imagine S3 is already in pre production.

>wholesome
dragons are literally satanic beings mate and one of them is a pedophile

To be fair, the pedophile is technically an Ex-Goddess merely in the form of a dragon.

Because Kyoani always finds a way

Because it's a loving story about a functional recluse getting a girlfriend and even a daughter.

leave him alone user, he's being "ironic"

You mean fat?

Remove the bottom-left corner and this is me.

The argument could be made otherwise given how the series is well into its 7th volume now, and the content has grown a bit denser with the Iruru arc and some lore/backstory sprinkling here and there. Now more than ever, Maidragon's manga strikes a pretty solid balance among character development, an overarching plot of dragon issues, and chorogon shenanigans. It makes me wonder if Kyoani might shy away from an s2 not solely because of Iruru (though, her existence in the source material somehow walling the possibility of an s2 was never an established fact), but more because Maidragon after Iruru really becomes a more well-rounded and grounded series. I dunno. Seems like there is plenty of content to pick and choose, though.

Tooru's whole-hearted--even bull-headed--devotion is the most wholesome aspect of the entire series. Kobayashi's quiet, wavering reciprocations only further sweeten it.

>dragons are literally satanic beings
you don't know the show or the manga if you say a bullshit like this

Come on, user you know why.

...

China money

Wasn't s2 confirmed for march 2018 or something?

why did they waste so much potential?
why do they force these emotion (like when loli-bait cried 2 minutes after introduction)?
why do they have to overuse the running gags?

or i- is it my fault? is this show supposed to be watched weekly instead of binging it in a few hours?

No, it wasn't.

;–;

It will get eventually

I watched the OVA today, and realized how much I missed this show.
Let's have faith ;_;

Because thicc thighs save lives, and the nips capitalized on that fact.

What do I even watch to fill the aching hole in my palpal bulbs?

>Burger flag in the background
>Is holding kraut guns

Maybe she is half-German.

Send me some tiny american guns, i only have german shit.

No, it's creepy

>tiny american guns
Those aren't a thing.

It's pure maid devotion

How to prove you have no idea how the industry works: The post

Actually, the wholesome aspect is the family dynamic between Kobayashi, Tohru and Kanna.

Oh, and also Takiya and Fafnir.
