This has gotta be the biggest middle finger to anime fans of all time>releases first episode for long awaited anime>doesn't release anything else>refuses to elaborate>"episode 2 sometime in 2026"
>>287063567>the biggest middle finger to anime fans of all timenot even close
>>287063567You would not have survived the OVA era
>>287063822Ovas had much higher production value than this. This is just slapping 2 tv episodes together every month
Literally happened to Fate/Strange Fake a few years back, it is not something newUsually it just mean production schedule is gigafucked somewhere and they can’t get the entire thing out at once
>>287063847Some of them did. But even well known ones like Lodoss are barely animated after rthe first episode.
>>287063847It-s true most OVAs had pretty well animated first episodes, but a lot of them completely fall apart in quality as they go along.
>>287063911no one cares about fateshit
>>287063822LMAO. /a/'s always begging for the second coming of OVAs and now that they see the shit release schedule they're complaining. It is true that sometimes OVAs had really good production values but it wasn't a given. Especially for what this is seeming to be in terms of length. Like LoGH had good looking scenes but was not up to par with many 6 episode or less OVAs.
>>287063929The day they announced 6 movies was bad enough already, shocking how much worse it got.
>>287064468makes more money then jojoshit faggot
>>287063567this image seems to support the theory that they will release it in stages? in-story stages, with wildly different lengths? that's such a terrible idea. which means they will definitely do it
>>287063567Not a jojo fan. But whoever is deciding the release schedule does not want this series to be popular again lmao
>>287063567I have no idea what slop this is about, but clearly you need to watch a lot more anime.
>>287063567OPM S3 was much worse, because at least this will look decent by the time it's done.
>>287064468Even less people care about Jojoshit after the SO anime and Jojolion.
Whats the difference between OVAs and normal anime releases?
>>287065619Normal seasons are released on weekly basis for at least a cour. OVAs are a one and done deal.
>>287063567>attempts to look like seasoned veteran urging the newfags to watch more anime>immediately after failing to recognize a jojo thread
>>287065619OVAs were direct to video releases they used to do in the past. You still occasionally get them but they're typically extras for other things now instead of products themselves. They often had less episodes and higher production values (though not always) than TV anime at the time. And because they weren't airing on TV they didn't always have a consistent release schedule. Legend of the Galactic Heroes for instance came out over 9 years, though it's an outlier with 110 episodes instead of 1, 6, or 13 episodes like you'd often see OVAs doing. >>287065674No, for a 6 episode OVA you may have several releases to get to that episode length.
>>287065674>OVAs are a one and done deal
>>287065444How did this happen... How did Netflix get a complete control over distribution?
>>287065699>>287065722Sure, there were long ova series before. But nowadays those are very rare. OVA as an extra special or short arc that didn't fit into the season are more likely.
>>287063567>one 45 minute episode every 6 months or soWell, if it's short then...>24 volumesGlad I'm not a fan.
>>287065916BD extras bundled with TV season are not OVAsYoutube shorts sold on BDs are not OVAsNetflix series sold on BDs are not OVAsLast time we got any real OVA that is not hentai was 2 years ago with Yamato series that's still ongoing
>>287063822To this day im looking for a meme season chart that on the ova section had "that cool ova whose sequel will come out in 2025 and 2050"
>>287065843I have no idea. It worked so well for the first five parts. Why did Araki and David Pro sell themselves to Netflix after it all?
>>287066006>BD extras bundled with TV season are not OVAsYes they are. Autistically saying "OVAs were different in the 80s" doesn't change that.>Youtube shorts sold on BDs are not OVAs>Netflix series sold on BDs are not OVAsCorrect, those are ONAs. To call them OVAs would be as silly as calling a broadcast series an OVA because you bought the BD.
>>287065722>cherrypicking
>>287066006>>287066137okay, this is getting too autistic for melet's just agree netflix sucks donkey balls?
>>287066173
No genuinely what drives someone to release episode 1 and then take a 6 months break for episode 2? What the fuck is the logic in this from a business perpsective?
>>287067039Netflix heard our very vocal feedback that dumping an entire season in one day doesn't maximize engagement and instead causes releases to fall behind broadcast anime, and they've updated their strategy.
>>287067039>>287067171>monkey paw curled into a fist and entered your ass
>>287063567As long it doesn't turn out to be something like when I had to wait for every new Hellsing Ultimate OVA then it's fine
>>287063567Dope, 20mins format limits what can you do, better a series of movies of various length
>>287067171I get why Netflix would prefer batches.What I don't get is creating a batch composed of one (1) episode. Why? Why didn't they prepare a batch of ~12 episodes to release along with episode 1?
>>287067492I agree with this.But they should have release at least stages 1-3 at once. Then 4-6, then 7-9, or something like that. Dropping 40 minutes of anime and then saying "bye see you in 6 months" is insane.
>>287063567Yawn who cares Gyro dies near the end
>>287067492I think most people just don't like the irregular schedule that isn't being revealed, if it's set at all. For instance if they released 1 to 1.5 hour episodes every month that would be better than releasing batches of different sizes at random points.
