Serious question: why even bother making anime with standard male leads at this point?

Serious question: why even bother making anime with standard male leads at this point?

Literally every season is dominated by all-girl stuff with some occasional fujo hits.

Octave was great by the way.

More importantly why are good male leads so rare, who was the last genuinely interesting one,Hachiman, Araragi, Okabe?

>why are good male leads so rare
They want to make it easy to self-insert even for the lowest common denominator.

Macross Delta dude was good.

Maybe if you watched more anime you'd find them, faggot.

Do you want to get BTFO again?

Yeah, look at that yuri domination

you know what they say

>retarded list mashing everything it could find together

Ebin.

>Oricon
>ANN

Fuck off to your stalker threads.

>everything
It's only disc sales.
>posts amazon page
>complains about oricon
Are you retarded?

Funny how you remove
GuP, Kemono Friends, and Nanoha Reflection from the list

Make the full scale and have Madoka, K-on, Love Live, Symphogear, Nanoha, Precure, Aikatsu, etc.

And this not including the giant franchise and loyal fanbases that comes along with it.

It's only disc sales tracked by Oricon which means literal shit. Oricon don't even have 100% accurate data from Amazon.

>all waifufaggotry anime
Not really surprising.

Oricon tracks all of the disc sales from amazon and if you're going to post amazon bd/dvd page to show some series domination then you shouldn't complain when I post the data that is taken from the same service.

Make full Rance 1-10 adaptation then you will get greatest male leads.

They estimate sales. Big difference.

Most of those are just a bunch of 10k series and their total numbers for all 6 volumes.
Some of which counted only the BDs sold after the first months or months after airing

Then you compared it with BDs for movies.

The fuck is up with your list? Is it too hard to just list the BDs in total?

It's a list from ANN clickbait article.

What the fuck are you even trying to argue?

It's a list made from the data that oricon provided you idiot.

>Hachiman, Araragi, Okabe
These are all shit though.

True but misinterpreted.

Conan is a Gary Stu

yeah, typical garbage self-insert otaku bait

Most of the big hits in the past few years have male leads though
- OPM
- Attack on Titan
- Boku no Hero Academia
- Re Zero
- Sword Art Online
- Tokyo Ghoul

Only SAO was a hit on your list.

I'm talking popularity, not sales

Even still they have more depth and gravitas over the standard beta male protagonist catered to Sup Forums.

Lel

Popularity where? On MAL? None of them is as big as Love Live or GuP.

- Love Live
- Love Live Sunshine
- Symphogear
>Girls und Panzer
>Kemono Friends

Why do you assume BnA and SnK are not as big as GuP?
