How do anime that seem extremely popular at the time become almost forgotten without any legacy as soon as it finishes?

>>280372780 (OP)
It's well done but it's just a teaching story for 11-12 years old kids. There were many such tv shows for middle schooler everyone forgot

>>280372780 (OP)
By being mediocre/bad like pic rel

it's written by the steins;gate writer

"Popularity" is just browns spamming inane garbage.

>>280373949
And? As a human being they're completely capable of creating garbage.

>How do anime that seem extremely popular at the time become almost forgotten without any legacy as soon as it finishes?
Cuz Darling and 02 in the honey FranXX was the very last show that could\can or will be recognized as "canonically japanese". It was a calm morning of 2018 before the upcoming storm which turned around target audience of anime.
You don't even need a proof for it. Or how else Violet Sabergarden, such err and blunder piece of soap muh art managed not only to become aoty but outshadow every other shows?

How? - Normies.

>>280373949
It's well written, usually trigger starts strong but then goes into complete shit and fans argue what could be. Franxx is consistent but not exceptional, character arcs are good but character development just schematic and weak. Like turning edgy and lewd 02 into a cheerful Marin isn't convincing

>>280372780 (OP)
Anything past episode 16 raped the show like a vietnamese whore, it deserves to be forgotten

>>280373949
That explains why it was so mid.

>>280372780 (OP)
By having a shit ending that an overwhelming majority of people hated. And not even just the ending itself but the 8 or so episodes leading up to the ending being just generally unenjoyable compared to what came before. DitF remains to this day one of the biggest blunders I have ever seen in terms of killing a cash cow before it could even be milked all because the writer and director decided to seppuku the show in typical Japanese fashion.

>>280374864
So basically one should watch until 16 and then read the Manga?
>>280375320
Why did they do it?

>>280374864
>>280375320
You keep saying it, but there is nothing to hate it, unlike TTGL, KLK, or even Promare

how does it feel knowing darling in the franxx's entire cultural legacy was just this one gif

>>280375369
They had no plan for the story after 15. It should've just been a single cour, then save the rest for season 2.

>>280375425
You forgot the stamen and pistil

>>280375369
>Why did they do it?
Because they are inept. They didn't even have the second half of the show pre-writen before starting production. Everything after episode 15 they were winging it. Atsushi Nishigori looked at what his betters did in Eva, TTGL, KLK and thought to himself that he could just do the same thing, he thought it would be cool for the real unforseen enemy to suddenly reveal themsleves at the last minute and for the conflict to suddenly rise into space where the main couple would die in an act of self sacrifice that wouldn't even destroy the new unforshadowed enemy. All the while serving up a sideplot line ripped out of Adam Sandler's 50 first dates for the only side characters who mattered as if it were something new and profound. He did all of this while failing to realize that the only thing people cared about was the main couple to get a tangible happy ending where they could be together. But no, muh reincarnation. Hurr durr muh Japanese spirituality folded over 10000 times so profound. Preaseu crappu!

Meanwhile the Mangaka behind TLR, basically having to cut his manga adaptation short due to lack of interest from the horrible anime reception had the wherewithal to give people what they wanted.

>>280375469
Neat, thanks for the writeup, interesting, so 15 episodes and then Manga?

>>280372780 (OP)
alright, i never watched this, what is it about and how did it shit on it?

>>280372780 (OP)
it lost all its dedicated fans by the story going to shit. if the ending had any real thought put into it it could've been a modern classic

>>280375869
>muh Japanese spirituality folded over 10000 times so profound
KEK

>>280372780 (OP)
Original anime can be very exciting to follow as it airs. Lasting popularity depends on quality and other factors.
Darling in the Franxx had nothing going on after that whatever ending.

When will the japanese learn that a twist for a twist and a "and then the protagonists die " does not equal to good and memorable ending.

Don't forget episode 19 which info dumped all of the realities about the world and revealed that it was so much less interesting than basically any of the fan theories that were being crafted since the earliest episodes.

Beyond Sengoku Youko, were there any other actually satisfying "dude changes his own species to be with a girl he loves" stories?

I'm re-downloading those special episodes from the break weeks. I want to find the self-admission to winging it.

>>280374695
>Franxx is consistent but not exceptional
Huh, really? I've not yet watched it. What I heard was the opposite of this. I heard it started strong but fell off hard.

>>280374864
The Aliens really ruined all of the themes. Everything about the kids having to learn to make decisions for themselves and not listen to evil adults? Lol it was evil aliens so no hard choice has to be made. Theme about selfish adults ruining the planet for future generations? Lol it was evil aliens so no introspection, guilt or blame has to dealt with. Nines obviously being written as being part of an agenda, status, and ideology within APE that the parasites were unaware of? Lol it was aliens the Nines were apparently just pretending to have an ideology. The fact the human APE dudes were in on some plan to upload everyones brains in earlier episodes? Lol evil alien plan that half of APE knows nothing about. Hell why even have human members?

>>280377021
I guess it's just a result of fan theories and false expectations when the show was on air.
The first 2 episodes were made as a bait and they are a little misleading about the tone of the anime: they edgy, serious, and lewd when the rest is almost family friendly(for grandparents and their grandchildren)

The show is extremely consistent in themes and pacing, but consistency isn't equal to greatness. It has that vibe of a story edited by your school teacher who toned down some parts to make it harmless overall.

People treat the ending as some SnK tragedy but it's just the part of Hiro and 02 is weak and contradicts the theme of keeping promises

Newsflash: When something falls to irrelevancy it's forgotten. Also this effect seems exacerbated by the fact that the majority of posters today have been watching anime and browsing /a/ for five years.

From what I understand, Trigger actually left the production halfway through the series due to creative differences. If that's indeed the case, then they're only really responsible for everything that worked.

>>280374616
and every. single. thread. was just constant shitposting.

>>280372780 (OP)
i was saying this here as it aired, and i will say this now. darling in the franx is trash.

>>280378426
Lol, it has the classic trigger sasuga at the end

>>280373949
How did he fuck up so badly then? Franxx was horrible.

>>280380111
It wasn't just him writing it. He co-wrote with the director and I'm convinced that's where all the problems came from.

>>280372780 (OP)
The term you're looking for is "flavor of the season". Streaming anime exist just for people to binge garbage and move on to the next thing.

>>280372780 (OP)
Pic unrelated, I assume? Everybody remembers FranXX. I have a whole folder of memes.

>>280378554
And that was fucking great. That was the rigor mortis of /a/'s corpse.

>>280372780 (OP)
When the ending sucks ass

>>280372780 (OP)
Well that's just how you know it wasn't actually any good.

Katanagatari is memorable

Watching every episode live with every anon in a new website every week because the host gets constantly banned...

you just want to jerk off to zero two

I've never forget Franxx, but only because it's ntr kino.

>>280375320
I thought this was by Yabuki

>>280372780 (OP)
Its hilarious that the Charlemagne theory was more in depth than what the anime's real story ended up being.

>>280384760
The manga was. But the manga was an adaptation of the anime, instead of the other way around.

That's just Trigger shows in general. They pander to normies who have the memory of a goldfish.

outside of ryuuko and satsuki's designs, nobody gives a shit because it was bad

forgotten.

Akko is forgotten forever.

i think kim khardasian posted how she liked zero two. that's how normie it got. and refer to my earlier point. normies forget everything
>cyberpunk
i guess it succeeded in gaslighting everyone into thinking 2077 was good. it wasn't.
think i'm forgetting one or two but idc. Studio Trigger is an indicator that you are getting garbage.

Anons who act like it was a great show that turned bad blow my mind. It was shit from episode 1.

>>280386331
>nobody gives a shit because it was bad
wrong

>Show still hasn't appeared in SRW, not even in the gacha

Is the show that bad?

The same happened to Bocchi the Rock.

It was the epitome of style over substance and the style was dogpiss.

>retards parroting the Trigger show cope
You dumbfucks need to remember that their involvement was strictly to help with animation. They had no input on that trainwreck of a story and even left partway through the production once their contract was over.

>>280387359
That's right normie, defend the shitty studio.

>>280387210
This. You can claim Franxx is shit all you want, but if it was memorable then clearly it was good enough for you to be entertaining.

This is further proof that steins;gate was never good.

>>280372780 (OP)
it has no legacy because it's shit

it was popular because it was zoomies first mecha show

>>280372780 (OP)
GoT syndrome.
A shit ending and conclusion and final arc ruins everything that came before.
If you don't stick the landing then it's over for you.

Its only "forgotten" for serious anime fans. Shits still doing numbers on tiktok, the normiest platform in existence.

>>280372780 (OP)
I don't believe that popularity = quality in any direction. In fact, I remember watching the first episode when it was airing and laughing my ass off at the bird who crashed at a window and the "deep" monologue about it, it was just as try hard as Steins Gate.
In any case, at some point media became very disposable and I think it's because companies, whether western or asian, make it with the intention of being quickly discarded so people can move into the next big thing. Attention spans may be on an all time low and people need a constant influx of shiny new media to keep themselves entertained.

>>280372780 (OP)
It's due to the amount of anime content that comes out per year. There is more anime that comes out per season than used to come out over the course of a year, even up until the early 10s. The number (and percentage) of 2-cours shows--not to mention 3+ cours shows--has plummeted dramatically in the last 15 years.

>>280378554

How would you have rewritten the second half of the show?

>>280372780 (OP)
It's been almost 8 years and old ass moeshitters still can't get over it:
-muh second half
-muh hype
-muh ntr
-muh clone of @name
-muh trigger
-muh 6\15 eps
-muh rewrite
Just admit you are no better than slopeaters-normies who are even more moralless faggots who's ass got on fire because of fairy tail about love which flew through your empty head without any resistance.

God bless Abe for such magnificent gift to humanity

Contrary to popular belief, inserting ayys in the last second is not kino.

I mean most of their stuff is just stealing ideas from somewhere else, the Trigger staff prays every night for Obari's death.

Weird way of saying at the start of episode 1. The letterboxed opening was an immediate red flag.

What popular anime and manga from the last 10 years will be remembered and be seen as a classic for later generations? I heard Frieren might, but I haven't seen it yet so I can't judge.

>>280387443
It literally was a Cloverworks, A-1 and Trigger collaboration. I don't get why Trigger gets all the hate for what happened.

>>280380111
Steins;Gate's writer was always a hack, I don't even think you need to watch Franxx to figure that out.
