Actually, I have, unlike yourself. And, no, you're the one's who's wrong. You always think you're right, don't you? You're not. Loads of adult anime do well in Japan. Just not as well as kids/teens anime. Is that not simple enough to fathom? |

Oh, great comeback there. No seriously, I'm literally quaking in my slippers.[/sarcasm] Have you even looked at the box office returns for adult Anime movies? Of course you haven't, otherwise you'd know how wrong your argument is. Until you do, you don't have any ability to talk about profitability of Anime movies. |

What do you even mean by "adult"? And don't give me a bullshit "you should already know the answer" response. Do you mean having ridiculously overbearing themes like Sky Crawlers or basically any Oshii film? Or something that's just not aimed at 12 year old WSJ readers, like Princess and the Pilot? What are your qualifications.

As in, movies that adults would go to see without usually taking children along. Movies of late-night Anime, essentially. Or are you so retarded you thought BLOOD-C: The Last Dark was a children's movie? |

No one brought up Blood-C, and by all accounts, you're the one with the severe mental issues.
Evidently, late night anime films do well enough that we're seeing more of them now than ever. |

Don't say that I have "severe mental issues" when you yourself cannot even grasp simple concepts and pay attention to what's being said in the thread. Of course such movies as a whole do well enough. I never said they didn't. You haven't been following the thread, you just jumped in and started spouting off. Go back to the start of the thread and actually read what we've been talking about, which is what you should have done in the first place. I brought up BLOOD-C: The Last Dark because it is an example of a movie squarely aimed at adults as opposed to children. Do you know what an "example" is, or did they not teach you that concept in whatever place you come from? |

The Blood-C manga ran in Shounen Ace and it had a spinoff in Newtype Ace. I haven't seen the movie but I can't possibly see how it would ignore its main demographic for the two manga.
There really aren't very many anime movies that target only adults. |

'Shounen Manga' is an incredibly vague term that covers a vast variety of stories - from simple Adventure tales of exploration and discovery; to hyperviolent Action flicks; to Sports shows full of friendship and teamwork; to dark-toned Thrillers; to sweet Romantic Comedies; to glorified toy commercials aimed at prepubescent boys; to Ecchi-Harem fanservice-fests - aimed at a very wide spectrum of ages - from young boys to middle-aged men, not forgetting all the females who read it too - that one cannot peg the term into a nice neat demographical hole. You love saying "Title X ran in such-and-such magazine, therefore it is aimed at such-and-such an audience", but the Manga world is more complicated than that. Add in late-night Anime adaptations with expensive collector's Blu-Ray releases and Otaku-targeted marketing programmes, and it becomes more muddied still. |
