well, there goes any hope of S4 looking better.we may have had it too good with S1, but balancing the scales is still painful.
I suppose it's really easy to be profitable if you put in zero money.Total slideshow victory
>>288446614Well no shit it was successful, no money went into it and everyone and their mom had to watch the trainwreck.
>>288446888>>288446845>>288446773>>288446614BUT YOU SAID IT WILL FLOP BECAUSE OF THE ANIMATION!!!!!!!!!!
>>288446922it did flop, horribly, they are damaging the brand and leaving money on the table long term.No one is queuing up to buy the blue-rays or idk figures of pyschos a good adaption would make them want to.Next season less people tune inYou could make an absolute dogshit series of any super popular franchise and profit, it's milking it for short-sighted gain
>>288446922I doubt it sold discs. But people watched it on TV and Streaming everywhere it was.
Outside of blurays, how do they make money out of it?
>>288446989streaming platforms will have all bought in at locked in prices before getting to see it lol, good luck replicating that after you shit out s3
The animation being shit probably gave it more visibility than if it had been mediocre
>>288446971>it did flop, horribly,
>>288447050no ur right lil bro actually all the ratings said it did great you are a very smart contrarian
>>288447084Can you read?>Bandai Namco highlighted the One-Punch Man anime’s strong performance in its latest FY2026 earnings presentation released on May 13
The can just cash out now. But they're asian, the love the gambling devil.
>>288446614Japs are so greedy that they would let a popular franchise go to shit because they won't give it the proper budget. Even China won't do this shit.
>>288446614Everyone said this already, 4channers are just too dumb to understand how profit work, profit is about reducing costs, not making the product better.
>>288446614The same desperate retards will flock back (again) for the next season because of Cosmic Garou or whatever and it'll loop complete with the same cope before and after that's been happening since season 2 back in 2019. For years now the handling of the entire franchise has been a fucking mess, what's one more shit season half a decade apart, one more redraw of a redraw thrown out, one more 2 year hiatus (the webcomic needs at least 20 years) it's all perfectly fine right?
>>288446614capitalism, ho!
>>288447025Kek, please tell me this isn’t real
This is bad news, genius.
>>288447025The bluray will fix that
All this does is confirm OPMfags as having eternally low standards and will watch a 3/10 show no matter what
>>288446614If theres no hard numbers this is just worthless corpo talk.
>>288448599I wouldn’t be so sure, the animation directors ignored several of the redrawn subplots (phoenix penguin man was cut for the first version of the fight). We could get something close to an adaptation of the webcomic Saitama vs Garou fight.
>>288446614>Good NewsNo, it's not though. It justifies them doing what they did with the animation in OPM3 part 1, so they're going to do it again.
>>288446614Behold, the face of success.
>>288446614woo
>>288449022>with the release of the blu-ray that scene will be fixed >herr anon... the blu-ray... >the blu-ray fixes were few and minor, so this scene did not get fixed
>>288450906KINO
Humiliation ritual
>>288446922Defending OPM S3 regardless of profit or not makes you, bare minimum, a top 10 biggest faggot on /a/ at the moment. I'm out, just want you to know that.
>>288446614>>288446922Everyone knew it would "profit" because it's a popular series and they cut their costs by like 70%. Shounen spics will watch it even it was a shitsmeared slide show which is why execs don't care if it's trash
I need Fubuki ass
>>288446614>popular ip is successful surprised i say
>>288446971what were the BD sales for previous seasons? nowadays it doesn't matter much anyway. they make that money back by licensing the season to streaming platforms and other merch.
>>288447015>good luck replicatingit will happen again
>>288450560>It justifies them doing what they did with the animation in OPM3 part 1, so they're going to do it again.Why do you care? Don't you people always shit over this part of the manga?
>>288454231actually the one positive this season is that the anime was willing to discard murata's fanfiction
>>288446922If you put zero money into your work it will still profitable even with 90% flop.
How bad will be the shitstorm (americans) if bamco just goes use AI on the manga pages to animate?
I'm not exactly sure whether I actually want to read the manga or if I just want to blast some ropes to Fubuki.
>>288450906This is the kind of animation on low budget 5/10 Isekai anime, not OPM
>>288448751Okay. It isnt real. On an unrelated note, one frame man is named that way for a reason…..
>>288447025Soul...
>>288446614thats bad news
>>288454262>murata's fanfiction
>>288446614Aren't they getting another studio for season 4?
>>288458248No
>>288450906Yeah I'm not surprised stopped giving a shit about this series when 95% of it is now terrible looking schlock with filler characters no one cares aboutMHA mogs this shit so hard its not even real
My face while watching last season
>Goyslop Man
>>288446614the future of anime is famous franchise + no budget
>>288447025Has there ever been a bigger QUALITY moment in anime?
>>288446614When the fuck did it release
>>288446614>anime post lord boros gets raped the same way the manga post lord boros got rapedIts pretty amazing isnt it. At least one started on the webcomic again
>>288459519Even if we're only talking recent anime, I think Blue Lock had lower lows. Also Berserk 2016 might have had more effort put into it but the 3DCG art made it look worse.
>>288449345>We could get something close to an adaptation of the webcomic Saitama vs Garou fight.Unfortunately they wont choose the more narrativily meaningful fight over the epic flashy one with universe destroying powers or whatever
>>288458762God I freaking love Lain
>>288454262>discard murata's fanfictionWait are you telling me season 3 actually follows the webcomic for the garou arc?
>>288459605How did you miss biggest trainwreck of 2025?
>>288446922Care to post the overall sales including merch from S1 to S3?
>>288459934For stuff like OPM, merch is equal to printing a poster. Is advertising for the manga and anime than a main revenue path like merch focused franchise such as Black Rock Shooter.The money from the anime came by the fat sack of cash from crunchy, netflix and any streaming platform who wanted normalfag core on its roster lol.
>>288459663for the monster association underground stuff, yeah.pheonix man and orochi both die in one ep rather than being long drawn out slogs with multiple revivals
Huh, turns out throwing tantrums on Twitter and YouTube don't actually matter
Never forgive.
>>288446971Not according to the report to investors. Maybe try next quarter
>>288446614Seems like its a mixture of incredible low quality with Pokemon-esque zombie fanbase for a profitable margin.The truth of the matter is that people like us who mock the show and didn't watch it were surpassed by the average Joe who kept consuming it due to its worldwide popularity. That's bad news as it creates incentive to keep production at low cost.
>>288446614At this point they may as well just use AI to animate the still images.
>>288460551when has /a/ ever been the driving force consumer market for any anime?
>>288460761/a/, twatter, all of the japs making fun of Slide-Garou. None of them can beat mindless consumers.
>>288459982oh damn i thought it was different from the manga because murata went back and redid it again xd
Sasuga JCStaff
>>288460838I wish all the rapes that happen to innocent girls in india magicaly get transferred onto murata
>$5000 budget per episode>12 episodes>a couple 5/6 digit streaming service licencesYeah they really don't have to bother with quality anymore. Its profitable even before they finish anything
>>288446614Meh.As long as people aren't splitting hairs by pretending that the manga adaptation was a flawless masterpiece that the anime """ruined""".>>288449041They DID enjoy the manga "adaptation".What's even more shocking to me was that there were fans of that who were upset at all. I guess the jangling keys produced a disharmonious rhythm, which it WAS, but so were the other times the keys jangled.
>>288446614
>>288461769I've moved past hatred. I truly just don't care anymore
>>288461800Checked and based king. Same I just do it out of habit at this point.
>>288450906This is how 90% of /a/'s favorite shonen shit from before the 2010s looked like and how OP looked like until like a year ago.
>>288462094anyone got a webm of naruto characters stiffly floating up and down while 'leaping' through the trees?
