I have to admire Satelight's ability to just apparently shrug off bomb show after bomb show both in terms of critical appraisal and financial success. Either they have sheer grit and determination to just keep at it or they have a very generous investor that somehow sees potential in them. Truth be told though besides maybe White Album 2 and maybe Space Pirate Mini Skirt Girls I can't remember the last time a Satelight produced anime was well received in any particular way. You'd probably have to go back to Macross Frontier to see it.

You're forgetting that Log Horizon was well received with a second season coming in October. Can't say much about the rest.

Oh yeah I forgot that for some reason that show was hugely popular with the Crunchyroll and MAL crowds. Admittedly I barely survived the antics of the first episode and it already having the trademark Satelight budget issues and just never looked back. It wouldn't be the first time that there was this show that a certain sizeable audience was totally head over heels for and felt was "teh hype" that I personally was just so completely meh on to the point where I couldn't even bother remembering it's existence and so totally forgot it was popular in the first place.

I'm guessing you're talking about AKB0048? The first season averaged a bit under 5,000 copies per release. And, of course, the more important value of the series was to hype the actual singing group. I can't tell how much of a difference that made.
Ikoku Meiro no Croisee was another nice little show from Satelight with more of the excellent artwork by Thomas Romain and company that we see in AKB0048 and other series. Didn't sell very well though. I've read your comments here and elsewhere over the past few years. I'm guessing you are just unhappy that Satelight isn't producing shows that appeal to your tastes. Satelight also does a lot of contract work which no doubt helps to pay the bills. Last edited by yuna49 on Fri Aug 08, 2014 1:10 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I was actually interested in this silly show for a few seconds (it looks like Macross 7 and AKB0048's bastard child), but I just can't stand Tatsuhisa Suzuki's singing.

Well they do, just they seem to produce them rather shoddily and on the cheap. |

There's only one show that I watched from Satelight and liked and that's Log Horizon. It was a good show and would've been better if it had budget but I know what to expect from a Satelight show. This looks like a fun to watch. Also the seiyuu list already made this a must watch.

Those are some insanely hot designs. I wish to see Zephyr, and the voice cast is pretty marvelous.

Maybe because that's what those shows are worth to today's otaku audience. I'd like to see more original works like Noein with strong directors and complex stories. Those don't see very well either; see Shin Sekai Yori for evidence. The tastes of a few thousand young Japanese people, mostly men, drive many (most?) of the decisions made by the anime industry and their fellow-travelers. My tastes don't generally align with that audience, and I don't think yours do either. I just don't find it worth complaining about that fact any more. I just look for the two or three shows each season worth following. Log Horizon was one such show for me, by the way. |
