>Sold about 200k copies
Wait, how did this game sell like absolute shit? It was announced in a Direct at the biggest peak of the franchise. How did it fail?

i dont think anime is really popular anymore
my friends would rather talk about kpop

because it's a dogshit franchise with no appeak

I want to have sex with Anya

>>723447486
Literally the most popular anime from 2022 to 2024. People took their children to cons dressed as Anya. It was spammed here every fucking day. Suddenly nobody cares about it.

>>723447395 (OP)
>200k copies
that's profitable for a low budget anime game

200k is shit?

I want to have sex with Yor and Anya

>>723447395 (OP)
Most fans of an anime won't go buy a game of it, especially since they're almost always shit.

>>723447395 (OP)
Are those bad sales? I wouldn't know. But anyways, the gameplay looks bad and mobile game tier

>>723447395 (OP)
it's a baby game, doesn't appeal to most

>>723447395 (OP)
game looked like if it was made by gamefreak with those now confirmed low budgets they get. 200k copies is a decent performance given that

>>723448663
>>723448420
>>723447873
Wait, shouldn't a game have at least a million copies? After working with a shit ton of people demanding high salaries and having money exchange hands a bunch of times for advertising, how much is a game supposed to cost and how much should they get in return?

>>723447679
Shit's astroturfed as fuck. Animetards may be dumb enough to fall for it, but gaymers just don't care. Same with Frieren and other popular shit.

>>723447395 (OP)
>3 seasons, a movie, and a video game in just under four years
What's the appeal?

>>723448994
It's funny.

>>723448994
Cute character design.

>>723448420
200k is not bad for a low budget ad but for this supposed mega popular anime constantly shilled on /a/ and /v/ you'd expect it to hit half a million. Really make you think about how popular it actually is when shilling money dried up.

>>723448906
>words mean nothing, feelings are everything

>>723447395 (OP)
Why do they renamed this as SPY x ANYA instead of SPY X FAMILY?, sure, i dont think that affected sales, but still curious about

>>723447476
I think many don't realize this but normalfags really have moved on. Japan always will have its cultural dominance and remain popular. The fact that people don't view you as strange for simply liking anime anymore probably won't change either. But the absolute fixation and obsession was just a performative thing born out of the lockdowns. It was just normalfags getting bored and trying on being an anime "fan" for a bit. They may go watch the latest huge mainstream release. But they aren't actually fans and don't actively seek out more and more anime anymore. It was pretty much just a collective streaming binge for them. Simply making something look like anime isn't enough to sell anymore outside of otaku demographics.

>>723449253
Cause it's a spinoff and not about Loyd who's the main character.

>>723447395 (OP)
Because it wasn’t a spy game where you play as Loid and Yor

>>723447395 (OP)
the thing bamco does where they don't license the name of the anime and rename the game to save money is marketing poison

What is the gameplay like? I like Spy x Family, and I had no interest in this game because I can't imagine translating the anime into anything resembling a fun game

because what the fuck even is it? only a retard buys a licensed game that has basically no clear direction.

>>723449253
>>723449335
it's because the company who distributes the anime in the west has the rights to the name in the west, but the game publisher went past them and just licensed the anime from its owner in japan. so they can use the IP but not the actual name of the series.
this happens pretty often to licensed anime games.
asterisk war -> A.W.
my hero academia -> my hero
attack on titan -> A.O.T. or shingeki no kyojin (most publishers just pay to use the normal english name now)

>>723449808
>The game is based on the anime and manga series Spy x Family and involves playing through a daily loop of school, outings, and mini-games to capture moments and customize the Forger family's outfits.

It's just a shitty nothing game that features characters from the show. If it wasn't licensed it probably would have only sold 25% as much as it did.

>>723449228
Spy x Family was always a stealth marketed anime that no one would actually care about if it wasn't advertised constantly. The fact that crunchy roll spammed ads on twitter/reddit/youtube saying it's the "next big thing" despite it making no waves in Japan should tell you everything.

>>723447395 (OP)
>non-fighting anime game

200k is a massive success for these types of games.

>>723449862
The production committee system allows for the production of so diverse anime, but it also leads to very retarded scenarios like this one that wouldn't happen with a single copyright holder.

>>723447395 (OP)
Anime games is either low effort ad-slop or cash grab Gacha.
There is nothing in between. You can bet that the "Developer" of those games never even watch any of the anime for the games they are working on. They are just given some notes and told to do whatever.
For example there's couple of Isekai anime with game tie-in but despite the Isekai anime clearly has game-like system in their lore, you can bet that you wouldn't even see any of that translated to their tie-in "game".
The only anime that do a semi-good job at doing game tie-in is just SAO which kind of expected considering the setting which is mostly just generic MMO.

>>723449228
Why would people who watch an anime pay full price for a game with mobile phone tier gameplay but without any of the gacha-esque mechanics that attract the mentally ill?

>>723449862
Man that's some Macross shit
>it just keeps happening

>>723448895
Why are you obnoxiously pretending to be an idiot like this?

>>723448994
I want to fuck Yor.

>>723448659
Nice.

>>723452665
here's a secret
the budget is what determines how many copies the game needs to sell in order to be successful.
crazy, right?

>>723449862
based, fuck the english licensors

>>723447476
>i dont think anime is really popular anymore
>demon slayer movie just made $600m in the box office
Sure.

>>723447395 (OP)
Gee wiz, it's almost like the only people who """cared""" about this game were /v/irgins spamming Anya/Becky cunny threads that were not about the actual game. What a surprise, indeed.

>>723454374
I doubt they even bought the game themselves.

>>723449862
I think it's worth pointing out this is not a general thing because you will regularly see the anime, LN, and manga of a franchise all licensed by separate companies and released under the same name even if it is an original translation of the title created for the English market, this specific situation seems to mostly arise as some sort of particular asshattery related to Viz's Shounen Jump agreement where they get the US rights to everything.

What the fuck happened with Asterisk War though

>>723447395 (OP)
The anime fell off hard a few episodes in

>>723448895
It depends on the size of the team and development time you dumb negroid

>>723456890
As expected from an author that doesn't even like his own creation.

The manga is okay honestly. Nothing special, but not awful.

It's a little kid game based on a show that isn't for little kids.

You didn’t notice the same pattern from Chainsaw man ?

>>723447630
>>723448497
Spy x Family is a based anime that promotes the nuclear family.

Chainsawman is generic wannabe/safe edgy shit, there's literally nothing in it that shocked me or took me by surprise even in the slightest.

Pick one.

>>723447395 (OP)
It's just kusoage, just like most licensed anime games.

Because it's genuinely a kids' game. It's just a series of minigames and some dialogue. No idea where you got 200K from but that's a fuckton for a cheap tie-in game.

I think it's important for industry building, there might not be that much interest in children's games based on anime in the West now but they need to put out stuff like this to build that interest up.

Fantastic job, mods. It's not like you aren't clearly selective in what stays up and what doesn't. Clearly someone on the mod team likes Reddit X Family, but not "better" anime.
