Fucking Tokyo law
Can someone explain to me why they can't depict romantic relationships, even implied ones, between siblings in anime?
People expecting this to be the next Oreimo will be sorely disappointed.

Tokyo made a law years ago that states that incest can't be shown in art media (LN/Anime/Manga/etc) in a positive light without it being targeted to the 18+ demographic. Going against that law, means your shit is banned from being sold in Tokyo. And that's were a lot of the sales come from.
People like to blame the lack of incest series on that. It's mostly bullshit, though. In the 5 years or so that the law has been in place, only like 2 series have been banned.
EMS was made NBR because Fushimi probably hated what happened in oreimo with the fanbase and the limits placed on him. It had nothing to do with the Tokyo law.
Yama no Susume in 2017!
Gonna climb any mountains this year, /a/?
S3 this year for sure!

If I rewatch both seasons today will that increase the chances of S3?

The hero we need but don't deserve.
I am going to cum inside Nattsun and live on a farm with her!

Will it sell well?

Is this that truck manga?
>>151711383
Which one?Yes.
>>151711371
I doubt it. It seems sort of generic and cookie cutter, with the usual cliches not even executed in a particularly satisfying, or novel way.
There's absolutely nothing to make it stand out, or give it any particular appeal
Watch this, /a/, first magic trick of the year.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FUCK
CALL 911
>>151711125
Truly magic.
How did this bland girl become so popular and turned the entirety of Fate into her harem?
>>151711083
Literally who.
By being plaincute like ShibuRin while also having funny dialogue with Archer and Gil.
>>151711083
Those big empty eyes probably.
Does same face bother you or would you rather overlook such a detail?
>>151711074
>a-1 pictures having anything consistent
>>151711074
Do Shaft faces all look the same for you?
I mean, from all, only Ghibli faces really look similar. And probably some of KyoAni.
KyoAni is basiclly sameface studio, but that's not the case with shaft and a1
Get a fuckin pair of glasses OP
Also, discuss why they flopped/are forgotten in their home country. Starting with perhaps the prime example. No, Cowboy Bebop does not count: it was the highest selling anime of 1998 in terms of disc sales.

Was Dragonball as popular in Japan as it is in America?
>>151711039
Are you kidding?

Why are there so few shounen romance series with the MC being in a relationship from the start?
Both this and Fujiyama-san were much more fun than will-they-wont-they-punched-through-the-wall-because-she-didn't-lock-the-bathroom-door shit.
Because japs have shit taste. they love it when MC gets punched through the door because generic slut didnt lock it for the millionth time
>>151710636
Because it's the journey that counts.

Stories need conflict. A romance based story needs romance based conflict, that inevitably can only be handled in two different ways. It's either "will they won't they" or it's, "they already did but now things are going bad". You can't have things be absolutely passive, that's not a story. You can shift the conflict to a different problem, but at that point you're no longer dealing with a romantic story, it is likely now a drama (for example see Clannad).
You can do a slice of life about romance, but that's not exactly a love story, more of a comedy with love life as a topic.
The conclusion I'm trying to illustrate here is that a love story that is 100% pure to the genre is going to be limiting, and the kind of "they're already dating" setting people lust after simply cannot work well within the genre. That is a territory for different types of stories.

Haikyuu sells more than black clover and soma together. Haikyuu also sells more than Boku no Pico Academia.
Yuragi sells more than anything in the CONSOLIDATED YET NOT POWERHOUSE TIER and Neverland does so aswell.

Are you completely retarded? Haikyuu is the second most popular series in the magazine. You'd have to be deluded to deny that.
