Hopefully less titles doesn't mean less crap, but more good titles.
Strike Witches was a pile of shit that should be watched by no one and pissed on for even attempting to pander to an audience which should consider themselves pedophile roadkill. This title alone marks Gonzo has a shit studio; the fact that they aligned themselves with crunchyroll only makes them shitteir for it. |

I want to be optimistic and say this will result in them trimming the fat and producing fewer anime but of higher quality. However, the grumpy little pessimist that lives in my brain points out that if they are in financial trouble it is probably more likely they will simply go for more low budget, low risk, cookie cutter cash ins. I guess we'll see.

Hopefully this means more Strike Witches, Blue Submarine 6s, Vandreads and Druagas, and less Rosarios or Linebarrels. But then again, maybe it won't. Gonzo's track record is nothing if not inconsistent. |

lol, I find it ironic that anyone would bash Gonzo's most successful title since the studio came to operation. If the market has any influences in the direction a studio will take (obviously money dictate) SW is going to have a sequel. You obviously don't like the series but you should consider the broader auidences that actually enjoys it rather thinking only of yourself.
Blue Sub no. 6 <3 More Kaleido Star/Romeo X Juliet would be awesome too, and for artistry Gankutsuou/Last Exile series to show case their best in animation. |

Hey. Not all anime companies can strike GOLD like KyotoAnimu does.
I'd say that GONZO stands a better of chance of being a maker of adult anime... But my main complaint with the anime industry is that it would rather beat up the males herein than find more creative ways to tell stories starring them. So I'll just go on a per-title basis as oppose to being just another loyal dog to whoever. |

Wait, what does Star Wars have to do with this? 
Then again, I won't be surprised if there are sequels of that, since the prequels are over, and the broader audience keep dictating money into it. Oh the parallels.... |
