now that the year is almost over which anime from this year do you think is the biggest "failed to be the next big thing lol" of the year.
>>284136323Sakamoto Days and it's not even close.
>>284136323I dont think that sanda has the intention to be the next big shonen, is very weird by nature more appealling to japaneses or a niche audience
>>284136339Yeah, this.
>>284136323>OP is a gullible retard who takes Aniplex hype marketing at face value.
Yaiba was fine, Sanda is okay, Sakamoto Days was complete shit and I have no idea what the shit in the top right even is.
>>284136323
>>284136323Sanda isnt popular? i think its great
>>284136323Relatively to the effort that went into it, certainly Yaiba. The best animated show in years and literally nobody cared. IIRC it even lost WIT money, by their own admission.
>>284136323Sakamoto Days is a complete nothingburger that doesn't appeal to anyone in particular and the only reason it got an anime is because Jump's running on fumes.Tougen Anki got marketed way too much for what's ultimately a mediocre at best show, so its failure is actually pretty funny.The Yaiba remake is the result of producers poaching the Mob Psycho guys to perpetually do Aoyama sloppa and roped the Ousama Ranking guys into it too, so it's more tragic than anything.Sanda was never meant to be the next big thing and is a good anime in its own right, doesn't deserve to be on this list.Shrimple as.
>>284137161I think part of the motivation for it was a proof-of-concept for how Wit would handle the One Piece remake, but I think Wit was also hoping for a Gosho bump
>>284136323>Yaiba>failedIt's a passion project that achieved lucrative success in Japan.Nobody was expecting it to fare better beyond Japan. It's a nostalgia IP that nobody on the planet beyond that tiny island has nostalgia for.
>>284138376>The Yaiba remake is the result of producers poaching the Mob Psycho guys to perpetually do Aoyama sloppa and roped the Ousama Ranking guys into it too, so it's more tragic than anything.It was literally a project the director of Mob Psycho had wanted to do for nearly a decade.
>>284138971>lucrative success in Japan. It didn't
>>284139159It did. All Aoyamashit is successful.
>>284138376It's said that WIT knew long ago that Okada Maiko and Yoshinori Kameda wanted to switch jobs to Studio Kurm, a subsidiary of Cygames. WIT took on the Yaiba project in an attempt to retain them, but Okada Maiko and Yoshinori Kameda still decided to switch to Cygames. So WIT not only failed to retain talent, but also suffered losses because it took on a project like Yaiba that was outdated.
>>284139188>>284137161
WIT would have been better off taking on Maho Precure 2, rather than Yaiba, a project outdated by the times.
>>284137161>>284139197>>284139203Going off of hearsay and speculation when you don't have any solid evidence is retarded (though now a resident schizo has decided to jump in).Yaiba, like all Aoyama projects, was successful, it had a roughly equivalent rating share to the current PreCure and One Piece.
>>284139404It was posted here a while back, WIT's earnings were in the red for 2025 and it was blamed on Yaiba. I'd look into the archive if I really cared.
>>284139681>it was YaibaCould be fucking anything actually. Earning for 2025 would also include the later 2024 works as well, so the "major works" Wit worked on for that 'year' would be>MOONRISEA notorious flop.>Yaiba Funded by the production company. Wit wouldn't be in the red for this, because they're not investing money into it, they're being paid to make it.>Shikanoko Nokonoko KoshitantanMassive advertising campaign for minimal splash.>Isekai Suicide SquadHonestly forgot it existed.
>>284139728>Funded by the production company. Wit wouldn't be in the red for this, because they're not investing money into it, they're being paid to make it.Studios can go overbudget on a project relatively to the funds they were given, you know? It's the number one reason why animation studios fail to turn a profit.
>>284137018It started off so well. Even the manga isn't very good these days.
>>284139783Or, the more rational explanation, Moonrise and the meme deer show failed to meet expectations.
>>284136902Who are you quoting?
