Is it me or, for the hype this show received, this is not exactly a good start? The show had perhaps the biggest promotion of the season, and it couldn't even hit above rank 100, and it didn't hit the Top 200 either. Even Pop Team Epic and Takagi-san are ranking higher, and it's only a hundred ranks higher than the Antarctica show. And preorder ranks tend to go down, not up, until the next episode airs, so there's a chance it would go below this soon. What went wrong?

>hype up a show for 3 years >it's generic shock and totally flops in sales/discussion
Oh no no no
Oliver Foster
Character looks like a saberclone. Boring and flat characters. Eyecancer.
Jordan Turner
Are you guys really talking sales when only a single episode has aired?
James Ross
people love saber clones and she's not flat
Luke Green
Nero is a saberclone too, just because you have bigger boobs doesn't mean you aren't one.
Henry Myers
She is flat though.
Isaac Thompson
All shows have had only a single episode so far. While it's too soon to know for sure if it will be a hit or a flop, it's interesting to see if it's doing well from the start or if it's strugging.
Carter Jenkins
I don't get the hate. NOBODY is talking about this show in prior years. Why does it warrant this controversy?
Sebastian Brown
>NOBODY is talking about this show in prior years. Try again.
Jose Campbell
How can we talk about in prior years a show that just premiered yesterday?
Ryder Stewart
I WOULD FIND A WAY
Ian Foster
It shall be the greatest selling TV anime of all time, mark my words, friend. I am putting my internet dignity on the line for this show. I've waited my whole life for this.
Jace Anderson
Screencapping this so when you commit sudoku I will have a way to explain to your family why you did it.
Andrew Reyes
Some people just hate KyoAnus that much.
Eli Fisher
Its probably all the faggots who wouldnt shut the fuck up about this show in Devilman threads
That might be completely true, but there is no fucking reason for a bunch of Violet fags to show up in the Devilman threads when it first aired to just let everyone know that the actual AOTY has yet to air
When you have people actually act pretentious, the real meaning of the word, you cant help but relish in their suffering
David Young
I pity people who were expecting anything better.
It's another crappy KyoAni LN adaptation. This shit is never good.
Dylan Peterson
To be fair, VEG has been getting discussion ever since it won the kyoani award.
Jeremiah Young
I thought this show is directed by that Fujita whats-her-name.
Nothing for now. Hibike, PW and Maid Dragon hit the rankings way worse. But Hibike and Maid Dragon climbed up a lot. Even this season with Overlord it started off low, Now it's above VEG.
Safe Bet would be it sells like Hibike. Unless KyoAni totally fucks up. I see nothing but positives.
Jack Barnes
Oh so everything bad comes from Ishidate and everything good must come from Fujita? Ohhh i see now how you people think.
Lucas Reyes
It will sell similarly to Kyoukai no Kanata.
Mason Martinez
>everything bad comes from Ishidate and everything good must come from Fujita I said nothing of the sort. Did your mother drop you on your head as a kid? The man in charge takes the blame. It's common sense.
Joseph Harris
Ishidate is one of the worst directors when it comes to setup. Most of the exposition is done through awkward dialogue or internal monologues, this retard would fit right in any powerlevel shonen staff, fucking lazy I tell you, Kyokai no Kanata was also filled with this shit, I still can't believe there are anons in this board right now who consider him a good director.
Isaiah Clark
It's a pretty low ranking.
Japanese comments I read on futaba and 2ch were mostly unimpressed besides the animation.
Cooper Perry
Don't lie to me. Everybody on Sup Forums were hyping for month how this was going to be Fujita's debut anime but once shit hits the fan, you conveniently shifted the blame to Ishidate to save the face of your super special snowflake director
Carson Barnes
>AFA You from SG user?
Nathaniel Stewart
...
Kevin Allen
>Everybody on Sup Forums were hyping for month how this was going to be Fujita's debut anime Only the sakugabooru clique of retards. That hardly constitutes "everybody on Sup Forums". And whatever dumb shit some imbeciles posting on Sup Forums say, it doesn't change the fact of who is actually in charge of VEG and hence responsible of how good or bad it ends up being.
Levi Campbell
It's "Fake Moe - The Anime" all over again. >aren't I autistic uguu Violet in a nutshell.
Levi Stewart
I miss this dork.
Evan Jenkins
Nah, saved that image from a long time ago.
Robert Sanders
I don't. She was fake as fuck.
Jaxson James
Who is the semen demon on the left, why don't I know her, and is she French?
Chase Sanchez
Meanwhile
It goes op and already outdid PTE. OP Btfo
Nathan Rogers
I miss the cat!
Noah James
The only hype was from retarded weebs, japs could read the mediocre novel and and aren't so starved for muh steampunk that they wanted to believe this would be any better than it
Ryder Fisher
First episode was alright.
But many first episodes this season were way more than allright.
Josiah Lopez
Have seen the first episode in cinema.
And I was quite surprised that the audience had a fair share of women and children. Fuck hell, in the last screen I was sitting right from a mother with her two children.
Let's see if it can continue. Best thing to do is wait a few days and see if it can maintain that performance. Even some shows that later ended up selling poorly had initially high ranks (like WUG from last season)
Matthew Williams
>implying
Lucas Turner
A rank of 108 is good, though. But long term trends rather than short spikes are more important.
Jack Wood
Kyoani doesnt really need that much sales to profit from VEG, especially after a deal with Netflix of all companies. I'm curious if it'll get better after the next episode.
Thomas Robinson
Way too early to guess at how well the show will do based off of stalker.
Wait for week 5 or so.
Joseph White
Not having cowtits=/=flat
Aiden Cox
Not that user, but you seem quite curious about AFA (or Singapore) in general.
Noah Nelson
>pop team epic outselling violet everfilter
Liam Ross
Yeah except that people have been hyping this ever since it was announced that the novel won the KyoAni award. That was literal years ago. It was obvious back then and now it's confirmed that ya'll losers just set yourself up for disappointment.
Nolan Powell
I'm from PH so SG is close to me, and I'm interested in ASEAN events in general.
Hunter Gutierrez
—Major, do you remember… that you embraced me when we first met? You had feared me for a long time. Even so, you kept me by your side. Most likely, I definitely had been thrown away because I would settle in the hands of anybody. Even so, I had wanted to be useful because you needed me. The days in which I was unable to see you were of continuous lacking, as well as experiences that seemed to give place to more of it. I had always wondered why you had told others to say that you had passed on. One day, should I have managed to meet you, I had wanted to reply to your question of "why can't you understand my feelings" and to the words "I love you". Major, was I… was your Violet… still loved by you?
Best waifu
Elijah Russell
Its at 198 already? Holy shit it's dropping fast.
Nathan Howard
>disbelief in KyoAni You fools, KyoAni will find a way.
Brayden Sullivan
You can't just smear vaseline on a lens and call the resulting pictures artistic.
Luis Phillips
When will you KyoAnifags realize that they're a shit studio? KyoAni is the epitome of style over substance.
Alexander Perry
Settle down yurishitter, the AOTS and best seller hasn't aired yet.
Luke Torres
Cute girls anime have pretty much 50:50 gender ratio.
David Ramirez
That's SHAFT though I agree Kyoani is not a very good studio either
William Bell
>What went wrong? Your mother chose not to get an abortion.
James Young
Nothing is beating GuP. Trigger crap will fail hard.
Joseph Martin
Phantom World, KnK or Tamako also had an early jump then only kept falling.
Jack Bailey
Is this your first Kyoani show? Half of the posts in any given thread will be about how shit this show a show is. They could make K-On!!!, make enough money to buy Switzerland, and people would still call it a flop.
Charles Cooper
Everything KyoAni made since Free was a flop. Maidragon probably made money with chinese streaming since chinks loved it but that's it.
Joshua Brown
Most of SHAFT's shows are engaging, though. I can only think of a couple KyoAni shows worth mentioning.
Aiden Hernandez
You fucking ignorants, you absolute morons! Do I have to teach how to appreciate this gem of animation, this CROWN JEWEL of anime? So listen carefully you literal children. This. Show. Is. Deep. Now, do I watched this? No. But I already know everything and I can assure you that this show is a masterpiece. And trust, I can recognize a work of art when I see one. Want to know how? It's simple you donkey, by the amount of dialogues. The more dialogues show has the deeper it is. If you don't know this rule then you should leave this thread and educate yourself you fucking imbecile. And one more thing - if I ever see one more of those "clever" and "snarky" comments about how Pop Team Epic is better than Violet Evergarden then let's just say you will not live through the night. Don't feel threatened, feel warned.
Ryan Lee
Trying too hard.
Joshua Jones
You falseflaggers are worse than salesfags. I hope the time you wasted writing that out was worth it, because you'll never get that back.

Wyatt Howard
Its already far behind. Way for a meme to backfire so much, PTE were shitposting about sales in VEG threads before release, and now in just few hours got decimated.
Thomas Perry
>being this triggered to make this
Joseph Ross
>Out of all the designs only Jeanne's really look similar. >Posting designs from stuff released after FSN and/or with characters that share very little similitudes with Saber. >Being this triggered that people associate a very popular character with a haircut.
Pathetic. I hope the guy will also make one with Yomi ;_; and hime cut characters, that ought to be fun as well.
Lincoln Roberts

Benjamin Gomez
This board is different from what I remember. When did we start forcing anime series? I mean, we did it but not like this.
Alexander Cruz
Fuck off saleshitter
Thomas Howard
Now all we need is a wojak and this thread is complete
How much does sales honestly matter, if it helps Netflix get subscribers? It's probably also one of Netflix's cheapest projects.
Jayden Cook
Netflix has nothing to do with VEG other than buying the license for streaming rights. Do you think every anime on Crunchyroll was produced and funded by crunchyroll? Fucking retard.
Nolan Murphy
You took offense very fucking quickly, user. Chill out. Never said they produced it, but they bought exclusive rights and provided funding.
Assuming the netflix contract already covers most of the cost of the show, the BD sales are probably just the cherry on top. Also looking at how netflix has the show dubbed into six other languages already, that would put it above most of the other anime netflix has rights to. Certainly not on the level of some of their originals where they pay actors $300k an episode or whatever though
