When were you when KyoAni lost?
>>134469123
Lost what?
>>134469201
The movie crashed hard at the box office. Literally burning cash with 120 theaters and no one went to see it.
Ha ha.
I told you faggots.
Shota won't sell.
And KyoAni doesn't know how to please fujo with Utsumi.
>>134469384
Looked a bit too pedo for a wider audience.
>>134469384
「ハイスピード!」9555万円となっている。
>>134469384
>source: my shota ass
Literally cute, not pedo.jpg in animated form.
>>134469678
It's more pedo than what KyoAni would EVER feature their lolis in, that is for sure.
To put it in perspective, High Speed can't even break 100 million yen in its first week.
Fucking Chuu2 recap movie made 120 million in its first 2 weeks and it screened in only 20 theaters.
>>134469123
>When were you when KyoAni lost?
Enjoying the trainwreck from home. That'll teach them to completely put aside so many characters from the series.
>>134469123
>When were you when
>>134469384
New Ghibli, they said.
I'm mad they didn't put him in S2.
>>134469874
Yamada will make them the new Ghibli, not shotaluster Takemoto.
>>134469384
>>134469535
I get the feeling that High Speed! would've done better if KyoAni stuck to a TV anime format for it instead of movie.And then done a recap movie for it and Free! proper
>>134470180
Serves him right for being a dirty shotacon.
This is what happens when you are getting ahead with your shota lusting.
>>134469888
>wanting S2 to flop
>>134470064
Yamada made K-ON, cancer of all anime
"I regret firing director Utsumi. Trusting Takemoto was a mistake."
- Hideaki Hatta, president, Kyoto Animation
>>134470303
>Yamada made K-ON, pinnacle of anime
Fixed that for you.
Where were you when Free killed Kyoani?
Yamada is their last hope now.
If Koe no Katachi fails, KyoAni will be gone for good.
"We want the Boku no Pico audience."
- Yasuhiro Takemoto, soon after sending Utsumi on a "reference-gathering expedition" in Somalia
>>134470422
It wasn't a flop. It did decently.
at least we'll get doujin.
>replacing 3 out of the 5 mains with some faggots from a LN which most people didn't read
>thinning down the appearance of characters from the anime who aren't Makoto or Haru
>expecting it to sell well
MakoHaru may be the most popular pairing but it's not the only thing carrying this franchise. The fact that it's a shota movie doesn't help since fujos care more about the teenage versions.
>>134470422
Not to mentioned that TLS was recognized as a work of art.
No critic would want to go near High Speed.
>>134470468
Fuck off Kyoani dev, don't you have donations to do to Kyoani for all their promotion costs?
>>134470485
>>134470425
>>134470363
Should Yamada go out of KyoAnus? I'm pretty sure she would do better in a studio not as flop heavy as KyoAni.
>>134470481
It's kinda sad to think they really believed it'd be a huge success. Can't wait to see what they'll try next, at this point it's highly possible they'll just stop anything Free and leave it to rot in oblivion.
>>134470485
>TLS was recognized as a work of art
It was one of the shittiest, forced vanilla shit I've seen in pretty much any media that I can think of.
so kyoani finds a way or not?
>let a fickle as fuck audience wait a year when there are other popular fujo magnets around
>adapt a novel that sidelines three of the main characters and the second most popular pairing
>replace two of the main characters with new faggots barely anyone knows or cares about
>force those new faggots into everyone's throats and advertise the shit out of the movie as if it is the next Madoka or Keion, despite only pandering to only one part of the fanbase
>bother to take liberties with the adaptation but don't bother to give the more popular characters more screentime
>expect it to do as well as the main series
Great fucking job, KyoAni.
>>134470566
She should gather those who left KyoAni (Horiguchi, Naitou, Utsumi, etc) and found a new studio.
>>134470422
Plus Free had five times as much screens as Tamako : 30 million x 5 = 150 million , so Kyoani expected it to rake in 150 million at the very least. Obviously didn't meet expectations.

>>134470651
Or they could all join Ordet and do fucking nothing for years.
Is this the end of Kyoani? They make so many flops, with more to come, I'm worried they might die. Please, Kyoani, make some masterpieces that sell well so you can become the richest anime studio and make tons of money.

>>134470898
Kyoani is kill m8, their easy money cash cow is ded so no more money to use on CGDCT shows, meaning drop in quality and animation that'll turn off otakus from buying the BDs resulting in sales bombing hard. The bankruptcy route is inevitable.
>>134470578
If they didn't want to do a sequel they should have made a Free movie à la the Keion movie - Frees going on a trip to some foreign country together with funny shenanigans plus a little drama thrown in for the fujos. A shota movie where most of the characters from the show barely appear (if at all) was a terrible idea. It's like they don't want all the easy cash they could have made with that movie.
>>134471006
>also cutting out Latifa blindness
That was the choice of the writer himself.

Gatoh a shit, more news at 8.00 pm
>>134471049
They haven't made a CGDCT show in 5 years though.
It's funny because they reason they decided to have Free! set in highschool in the first place because they knew shota wouldn't sell.
FLOP http://yaraon-blog.com/archives/74676

She was right.

Yeah, it would have been wonderful. They even had a character already in Australia to justify a fun trip. They're so dumb, it's reidiculous.
>>134471049
I want them to succeed ;_;
Actually, I dreamt that I watched the first episode of their new, generic battle harem, and it was amazing. It gave me hope that maybe they could make something good and profitable, after all, despite the horrible premise. I'll not give up hope until the anime airs, I think they can survive if they pull off the impossible.
But is the Free movie good as a movie, even if it fails at making money, at least?

I think 120 screens are too much.
So Utsumi was the hero Kyoani needed, but didn't deserve? Will she save Free by raking magical fujo dollar?
>>134471821
You mean give them the best lesbian character in a normal show ever?
Kicking Utsumi out was a mistake.
>>134471912
It's too late for Free now, Utsumi jumped ships at the right moment when she heard about the shota movie.

Kyoani's overconfidence fucking them over is what I'm here for.
>>134469123
Why did they think shota would sell better than when they were high schoolers? They were fucking godly hot as teens and it appealed to more girls and queers

Come on anon it's just another teenage romance, nothing special.
The movie premiered 2 days ago
2 days
Calm down
If you expand to more theaters you are expanding to less important theaters and will get less attendance per theater. It's not complicated.
>>134472160
Give me an exemple of a better love story then.
>>134472179
Opening week end numbers are the only thing that matter you pleb
>>134472179
Yeah, it only flopped on the most important dates.
Is the movie worth watching for the shotalust?
>>134472184
Tell that to Madoka, K-On and Love Live which are the only other late night anime movies that opened at 120+ theaters and had 300-400 million yen opening weekends.
>>134472279
>>134472298
I'm pretty sure bd and dvd sales will matter a lot too.
>>134472353
Those three have female fans too. I doubt any man wants to watch a Free movie.
>>134471912
>implying both seasons of Free weren't horseshit
People are only sucking her dick now because 'atleast she bothered to multipander!!1' which is bullshit because she had every reason to do so, having entire control over anything written in Free.
Starting Days was closed into a setting where the main characters haven't even met and are separated. They were dumb for minimizing on the mains and capitalizing on the new characters, but they were even dumber for choosing this novel to adapt and just not making a shitty S2 sequel.
I can't judge the movie before seeing it like some people can, but in any case, Free was very good in the first place. Nothing was lost and nothing was gained.
>>134472383
>expecting a movie that flopped in theaters to have impressive BD sales
>>134472429
Kyoani was too arrogant by having it run in so many theatres.
Wake Up, Girls! had a better opener on per screen basis. Maybe Kyoani regret firing Yamakan right now.
>>134472429
Exactly, that's why it was a mistake to show High Speed in so many theaters. Waste of money and promotion.
>>134470594
It finds a way to bankruptcy.
Kyoanus the next Manglobe.
>>134472463
S1 of Free was decent.
I couldn't care less. Maybe now they'll stop doing that shit and focus on my moe.
>>134472184
Nice excuse, if there's less theaters screening the movie not as many people can go see the movie if they don't have the means to travel across the whole country for it. HS was pretty much open to its entire audience yet did shitty as fuck. K did 59 million with 25 screens. Would have done five times as much with Free's screens.

Madoka and Love Live are apples and oranges to Free. K-On is also a completely different audience.
>>134472550
No, it would not have done 5 times as much. Theaters don't all bring in the same amount of viewers.
Was there even any demand for a Free prequel? People would be more interested in a sequel to be honets.
>>134472901
Fujoshi is literally "rotten girl" in Japanese. You can figure out the rest.
>>134472915
>Madoka and Love Live are apples and oranges to Free. K-On is also a completely different audience.
So what did Kyoani decide to let the movie run in so many cinemas if they didn't think the movie would sell as much as them.
>>134472915
>Madoka and Love Live are apples and oranges to Free.
No shit, it was retarded to open at the same number of theaters as much more popular shows. Everyone expected Free to have a 200-300 million yen opening weekend and it couldn't even hit 100 million.
>>134472990
We don't know the cost of opening in several theaters vs opening with a limited selection. As far as we know, they profited from every theater used. Why would they limit profit?
>>134472467
People thought Free would have awful sales too and look what it turned out.
People thought High Speed would be a hit in the first day and look what it turned out.
The industry is unpredictable.
Besides, probably half of the actual Free fans are from overseas and can't attend the theaters even if they want.
>>134471178
I wonder what kyoani will do now. Their other LN shit flops and free will only continue to decrease in sales as it goes on.
>>134473043
>limit profit
The movie didn't even profit as much as they wanted.
Anyone have the images of the Free movie advertised on trains and malls?

>>134473322
Yamakan has another WUG movie coming out this weekend. Imagine the schadenfreude if it end up beating Free!
>>134473313
Well, the movie ditched some of the most popular characters from the TV series to focus on new ones fujos aren't very familiar with. I don't know what Kyoani's thought process was here.
>>134473313
They forced two new characters into everyone's throats although the fanbase mainly cares about the main characters. And only two of them weren't sidelined.
Myriad of phantom works will save Kyoani.
>>134473314
It is when you expect the movie to be a huge hit.
They added new characters at the expense of established liked characters. It was due to flop.
>>134469123
I was in the theater, anon.
>>134473314
Probably.
I thought normals in Japan were disgusted by anime and manga (otaku aimed) so this is kind of confusing.

>>134473642
Very unlikely.
They will probably have to rely on the BD sales but the receptions from fans aren't looking good so it'd be very difficult for them.

You will only like it if you like makoharu. So you need to be a degenerate shipper to enjoy it. So it will be "good" from that viewpoint.

>>134475279
That's the first thing I thought when I saw it, that the shota and missing characters would kill it, but the Free fanbase on /a/ (the ones that really hate Utsumi and Rin) kept saying it would be much better than the series, and I trusted them
>>134475483
2ch predicted 3 billion yen in the box office for Free. It flopping so badly was a shock to everyone.
To compare it to another fujo movie, how much did the YowaPedal movie make in its opening weekend?
>>134475298
Now that the inhouse cashcow is kill, I wonder what KyoAni's next move is.
>>134475521
Expected by Kyoani or they wouldn't have opened the movie in 120 theaters.
>>134475563
120 million with 80 screens.
>inb4 little boys fled their home to watch it
Why is KyoAni the most popular studio on /a/? Everyone either hates it or loves it no middle ground. You wouldn't see threads like this pop out every day for A1 or PA Flops, hell not even Madhouse or Gainax get /a/ so riled up. Why?
>>134475521
No, by anyone who knows how the industry works and knows what kind of numbers to expect with that amount of promotion and theaters.
>>134469384
>120 screens
>>134474981
Fujoshit really are fickle. Just a few weeks back they were praising Takemoto for being everything better than that Utsumi lad. Now they want her back so they can get an even shittier sequel movie with their special OTP.
As if she wouldn't fuck that up either and treat their favs like utter shit like she always did.
>>134475613
Nice.
>>134475673
What are you even talking about?
>>134475521
>open movie in 120 theaters
>the only other anime movies that opened in that many theaters grossed between 300 and 400 million yen on opening weekend
Disappointin.
Serves them right. Rin and Rei were the best boys.
Why are they blaming Osomatsu?
Give Free haters a break.

>>134475618
Because they just made one of the best anime of all time

>>134475707
Can you not read? I'm saying that fujoshi are fickle. They put their hopes in Takemoto and trashed Utsumi but the moment he let them down, they came crawling back. They praise HS's flop and say it was shit without having seen it and yet they still cling to a sequel movie directed by a director that has shit on Free for two seasons straight.
It's hilarious.
>Utsumi is rolling in her grave right now
>make a shota prequel movie and sideline the majority of the original characters in favor of some new shitters no one cares about
>somehow expect this to sell
What was KyoAni even thinking?
>>134475871
Worst selling Keyshit anime.
How much are movie tickets in japan?
>>134475925
Around 1800 yen.
>>134475925

>>134475910
Keep repeating the same bullshit. Only one MC got replaced, the other one was barely a secondary character.

What is this, /pol/ level conspiracy
>>134475673
The Utsumi haters aren't fujoshi, they're gay shotacons. Fujoshi love everything about the series, but the gays are the ones who always complain that it was ruined by Utsumi, fujoshi, shipping, Gary Stu Rin, etc. and thought that Takemoto would save it
>>134475950
>>134475953
Noice hivemind
>TYBKA
>Godani finds a way
>Is there something kyoani can't do?
>>134475925
1500 yen adult and 900 yen kids, student varies. Free averages 1400 yen a ticket, so mostly adult fujoshi watched it.
>>134475899
You can complain about her qualities as a director as much as you want, but you can be sure she would've known that overhyping this movie and overestimating its success was a terrible idea.
We did it guys! We killed free!!
2 years of butthurt about his success worked :D
>>134470223
Was it ever anything else?
>>134476026
>we
KyoAni did it themselves.
>>134475971
>Nagisa, Rei, Rin and Sousuke appear for two minutes each
Yeah, they totally didn't get replaced.
As a true KyoAni fan I'm happy. Now they can stop catering to the fujos.
>>134475819
How the fuck? All the boys rook the fucking same.
>>134476052
>KyoAni killed their most sucessful franchise in years themselves
It's like pottery
>>134476026
We weren't the ones that didn't go see a movie that aired in 120 cinemas in our country. Go back to tumblr.
>Now Takemoto's shotacon tendencies are out to the public

>>134476126
Sudoku is the only way
>>134476009
>Fujoshi love everything about the series
Stopped right there. There's absolutely no way that's true. All fujoshi did in the airing thread was bitch about Utsumi's bias. They were definitely a huge contributor and still are.
>>134476018
>you can be sure she would've known
Utsumi the Almighty would've certainly known how to save Kyoani.

>yfw Takemoto disappears from KyoAni without a trace never to be seen again

Geez, I wonder why it flop.
>>134476126
Direct FMP to beg for our forgiveness.
>>134476089
Distinct personalities, popular seiyuu and sex jokes. It also exploded on pixiv, and the rest is just the following bandwagon like always. The show is fun though.
>>134476199
Nips fujos are the same, m8. Not every fan in japan ships makoharu.
>>134476126
KyoAni should ask Takemoto to step down to make room for the younger generation.
>>134475673
The people who were trashing Utsumi a few weeks back are not the same people who are trashing the movie now though. Those were just anti-Rinfags who were glad he's not a big part of the movie, and everyone knows Rin is Utsumi's favorite. They kept saying the movie will be a success because it only consists of "best boys". Funny how those best boys apparently weren't enough to make the movie earn much money.
>>134476026
Stay mad. KyoAni's decisions with the movie and its marketing were retarded and they deserve any shit for overestimating it.
>>134476105
Did the same with Haruhi
Did the same with K-On
Now with Free
KyoAni are truly the best studio, purposefully killing their most successful franchises to not fall into the comfort zone.
GodAni are literally the anti-SHAFT, they won't milk their franchises to death out of respect for the medium. Fucking hats off to them.
>>134469123
To whom Girls Und Panzer because about that, they're still both Lantis anime. Still surprised at it's relatively low box office for it's number of screens. Just when I thought something couldn't possibly have a lower revenue to screen average on opening weekand than Anthem of The Heart.
>>134469123
Feels good. As a Rinfag I don't give a fuck.
>>134469535
What Utsumi? She didn't direct the movie.
>>134476303
They should do a new Free! season following the Osomatsu example. All 6 boys are now NEETs, living at Nitori's house after he inherited from an immense fortune. Only fun skits and happiness and the occasional tear jerker episode I guess.
>>134476199
That applies to nip fujos too. Alot of them hated Utsumi's bias during S2's airing, especially in regards to how Haru was developed.
>>134476279
>The people who were trashing Utsumi a few weeks back are not the same people who are trashing the movie now though
How do you know this, anon? Are you the omnipresent god of /a/?
>>134476250
>Not every fan in japan ships makoharu.
That's just half of the series. And nip fujos are more laidback about other ships being pandered to than westerners.
>>134476338
>Are you the omnipresent god of /a/?
Yes.
>>134470425
I don't think it works that way when you have friends in high places like Lantis. Lantis could potentially just help fund Kyoani projects indefinitely with the money they make from Love Live, iDOLM@STER and other shit.
>>134476203
But he's their second best director.
Fujoshi are known to be extremely fickle and move on to titles at ridiculous fast rates. They managed to convince Aniplex they had a hit in Durarara and that they should commit to anime's first 3 way split cour only to have that blow up in their face and now they seem to have moved on from High Speed already.
>>134476330
Fucking fund it Kyoani.
>Love Live has a fuckton of promotion for months and opens on 121 screens
>400 million yen
>High Speed has a fuckton of promotion for months and opens on 120 screens
>95 million yen
Where did it all go so wrong?
>>134476483
Yeah but DRRR! sequels announcement came after years of nothing. Free's movie was announced during a VA event back in March and since then there's been a shit ton of new spreads, merchs, it's not like the fujos have been kept hanging.
>>134476533
KyoAni idols soon?
>>134476533
Can't beat cute girls senpai.
>>134476533
Love Live caters to lonely idol-loving Otaku, which are the majority. They also have popular games. Literally nothing can kill a franchise like Love Live unless they give the girls a hetero romantic interest.
>>134476483
Tiger&Bunny was the most popular (or second most don't remember if it was fujopedal) fujoshit last comiket above free, kuroko and touken ranbu. So I guess you are wrong.
>>134476533
Obviously it's that 121st theater. It was the golden theater, that would have brought the missing 305 millions.
>>134476533
New boys are not cute enough.
>>134476533
Maybe if open on 1 more screen they'd have made 300 million more.
>>134476483
That's a different issue. They waited five fucking years with Durarara and those fujos that still gave a shit barely got anything of their beloved Izaya/Shizuo pairing.
>>134476533
Shota pandering only works for a minority.
>>134476483
I don't doubt that some part of Free's fanbase has moved on to other things but I'm pretty certain that a movie featuring high school Frees instead of shotas and which didn't alienate everyone who isn't a MakoHarufag would have done a lot better than High Speed.
>>134476533
Men and women watched LL
Only women watched HS
>>134476662
>showing a movie that only panders to a minority in 120 theaters
KyoAni went full retard.
i thought fujos loved shotas, just like we love lolis
>>134476533
Only insomniacs went to see makoharu the movie.
>>134476685
Yup. It'll never happen now though. Good riddance.
>>134476533
I remember when I went to see the LL! movie there were some little girls with their moms in the audience. I wonder how a mom would react if her daughter asked to go watch a movie about shirtless guys.
>>134476698
>Women
>LL
>>134473064
This is probably the hardest position that Kyoani has ever really been in it's history. As others have mentioned they have Lantis to turn to for now as support much like they've leeched off of Kadokawa in the past but they're going to just have to continue to get used to having flops and under-performers like everyone else now and work through it. If anything I still think they were the victims of far too much early success and constant praises and having a really easy time of it back during the days of working on KEY and Kadokawa hits with pre-established obsessive fans to work from thinking that they could easily go it alone by trying to buy up these half backed single volume LN licenses and make instant hits out of them.
They're also not the gods of moe anymore, somehow Sunrise Studio 8 is with Love Live that continues to hold otaku in thrall. Also the competition for fujoshi has picked up of late and is being won at this point in time by Osomatsu-san. Obviously that won't last because fujoshi and all and there might be an opportunity to win them back some time in the future but like yeah time to get used to being challenged for the first time since they started doing anime on it's own and not just as an in-betweener for Sunrise and Pierrot. Maybe they could try taking a leaf out of Sunrise's book and actually legitimately coming up with an original marketable idea of their own instead of just buying shitty light novel licenses from amateur writers
>>134476723
And MakoHaru fujos. Thank god they still make up half the fanbase or the numbers would be beyond shilling.
>>134476533
>the better franchise made more money
Don't see anything from there senpai.
>>134476752
Were you born yesterday? LL has tons of female fans.
>>134476752
>women not liking cute girls
Are you dumb?
>>134476752
>he doesn't know that 50 percent of the Love Live fanbase are women
You think it would've broken all those records if only guys watched it?
>>134476813
No it doesn't
>>134476752
Are you retarded?
>>134476533
Love Live is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end to moe otaku so it's not a fair comparison. Even Kyoani's stint at moe never peaked this high. I mean fuck they're going to be on national TV on new years.
>>134476828
>50% are females
[citation needed]
>>134475452
>both anime seasons were shit
You haven't watched them though, so your opinion is invalid
>>134476839

>>134476878
>You haven't watched them though,
Didn't know you were in my closet creeping on me.
>>134476785
Yeah kyoani decided to pander to makoharu fujos and insomniacs so they got only makoharu money and insomniac money. Nothing surprising here.
>>134476871
My bad, 42% are women.
>>134476752
LL is normalfag tier, lots of girls love it. Or do you think girls never watch shows about female characters?
>>134476861
Love Live is like an awful Disney Channel show in anime form. It's no surprise that normies and little girls like it
Yasuhiro Takemoto
- career assassinated Yamakan
- killed Lucky Star
- got Tonari no 801-chan canceled
- doesn't like K-ON!
- hates robot
- thought E8 was a good idea
- wrote the scripts for E8
- hurt Horiguchi's feeling
- killed Utsumi
- killed the Free! franchise <---NEW
Love Live >>>>>> Free
>>134475276
Fujos have valid opinions regarding fujo material. The movie is for them, everyone else's opinions are irrelevant.
>>134472041
It's not like they can fall back on some idol group when things get dicey like A-1 did with Anthem of the Heart either
>>134476917
You're the one in the closet, m8.
>>134476983
That's not how it works. Or are you saying Naruto is a good franchise because 12-year-old boys like it and they're the target audience?
>Yamada makes a beautiful movie about vanilla true love
>Takemoto, jealous of what a masterpiece his younger colleague has achieved, decides it's his time to shine
>Steals Utsumi's franchise so he can get to work as quick as possible
>Tries to copy Tamako and Mochizou's romance with Haru and Makoto
>Completely fucks up
What a somber story.
Comparing LL to Free is like comparing Steven Universe to some niche web cartoon here in the west
LL is as normie as it can get, has Namco Bandai behind it, and plenty of games.
>>134477001
>You're the one in the closet
Funny.
>>134476980
>- career assassinated Yamakan
Yamakan assassinated himself by trying to SEKUHARA Yamada
>>134477062
So why did KyoAni try to shill Free as hard as LL and open it in the same number of theaters? How embarrassing.
>>134477141
They are retarded
>>134476330
I'd watch it.
Will KnK save KyoAni?
>>134476980
Can I put the blame for E8 on Kadokawa being jewish instead
>>134477141
Kyoani was stupid.
>>134477126
>implying Takemoto didn't talk him into it
>>134477141
Their marketing department probably predicted it to be a huge success.
Is Free finally kill? Into the trash it goes.
Praise Jesus.
>>134472512
It is the destiny of all studios that have ever been affiliated with Sunrise to ultimately flounder in the long run while Sunrise somehow manages to grow even more successful. A-1 and Bones are doing well for now but it'll be their turn too soon enough if the trend continues.
So who excited for Phantom World here? I'm expecting it to be Chu-2 done right
>>134477211
>implying Yamakan needs to be talked into committing sekuhara
Remember the Haruhi specials that nigga was all over Hirano
>>134476878
Nice argument fujoshit. But I watched it, if only to corroborate how delusional both fujos and kyoanifags are. In 24 episodes the only interesting thing that happend was the interactions between the gravure teacher and the coach. Every thing else was shit. From teenage boys hugging eachother and crying like ten years old girls, to a fucking dumb attempt at sport drama that made no sense. Oh and the water autism.
Thanks god both seasons provided good shows to detoxify myself from this cringefest. But they only made it look even shitter.
What now?
>>134477248
Do we agree that pink is best girl?
>>134471562
Getting to see Ultimatemegax be sad about something is kind of a small justice and something I kind of relish. Fucking delusional Kyoani dick sucking douchebag who likes throwing his opinions out where they're never asked for.
>>134477248
> I'm expecting it to be Chu-2 done right
This will be worse than KnK.
>>134477290
Now tell us who's you're favourite free
>>134477231
Sunrise is a subsidiary of Namco Bandai, the same Namco Bandai that has the rights to some of the most popular franchises in anime.
>>134477248
I can understand Ishihara's filter fetish. Red best girl.
>>134477248
I really don't understand people like you.
Everything we know points at it being another shitty LN
>>134472588
Cause mecha anime that aren't Gundam, Geass or some other Sunrise thing have just been ripping up the BD charts these days.
>>134477248
Can't wait for all the guys who'll like the main girl the most to be obnoxious fuckers.
What do you think KyoAni will do in the future? More manga adaptations instead of LNs?
>>134477248
Which one is the anime original?
>>134477527
Free! reboot
>>134477527
When was the last time they adapted a manga?
>>134477527
Maybe Kadokawa would give Kyoani another chance when they crawl back.
>>134475298
If Kyoani is independent then why is every single project they've done since 2013 pretty much with Lantis and Pony Canyon with their influence being clearly felt.
>>134477597
Nichijou in 2011. They're adapting Koe no Katachi next.

Charlotte's sales have been steadily going down with each successive disc release just as normal.

People have been utterly obsessed with Kyoani ever since Haruhi and Shaft pretty much ever since Bakemonogatari. It's like half of what people are even willing to talk about in terms of studios anymore and it's not even just /a/. People are just absolutely fucking obsessed with these two and they seem to attract the most shitposters.
You win this time anti-KyoAnifags

How the fuck would Nagisa, who was in the source material, not be in the movie if they managed to cram Rei in? Are you pretending to be retarded?
>>134478076
Only Yamada can save KyoAni now. I hope she kicks Ishishit and Takehomo out and replaces them with cute girl directors.

>>134478242
Too late, fujos are over Free.
>>134476779
This.
Fuck this "they're the anti-Aniplex indie producer gaiz!" Remember why there were so many Haruhi plugs in Lucky Star? They were basically Kadokawa's whore at the time.
They animate pretty well, but their writing staff and talent scouts are miserable. I'll only start taking them seriously if they do a non-moe SOL and keep it that way all the way through; no getting distracted with idols and fetishes like in KnK.
>>134478242
KyoAni always ends their franchises with a movie.
>>134478198
>bring back Yamakan
>Yamada gets scared and stops going to work

>>134478037

>>134478242

I'm not. I don't even like most of fujo stuff.

Fujos are so in denial that they trended high speed and are saying congratulations on Twitter, someone go tell them that they're celebrating a flop.
High Speed was a mistake.
>>134478421
Maybe because KyoAni shoved them in our faces for months while ditching the old characters and giving us no reason to care about the new guys.
>>134478076
Kyoani clearly wants to die. They can only fuck up lately.
>>134478357i-i care about ikuya...
Posting best girl.
>>134478469
Maybe they genuinely enjoyed it. Tamako Love Story was a big flop too but it was still a great movie
>>134478506
The reasons to care about the new characters are probably in the movie?
>>134478598
TLS wasn't a flop, it did fine for a movie that opened in 24 theaters and whose show sold 4k BDs.
>>134478469
>ハイスピ5位
Are they actually celebrating that High Speed ranked fifth out of this week's five new movies?
>>134478569
More like flop girl.
>>134478636
An expected flop is still a flop
>>134469535
>Shota won't sell.
Wasn't that the same case with the anime? KyoAni decided to age the Free! Boys into adolescent teenagers because they thought they could market it better that way.
>>134478639
Did you guys expect a movie with half naked middle school boys to do better than James Bond and snoopy? It should've been 8th due to fujos being too ashamed to come to the theater.
>>134478611
You do know that they appeared in the LN first and if anon doesn't like them he has a good reason why.
>>134478611
It's a bad strategy to dump old characters with established fanbases for some new faggots. Of course the movie flopped.
>>134478569
>best
>killed a franchise
>>134476313
Takemoto directed High Speed! Free! Starting Days.
>>134478611
Probably, but you can't blame people for not being very excited to get to know them after KyoAni completely ignored most of the old cast to promote the LN fags.
Free! inspired me to start training every day.
Please tell me that the movie wasn't that shitty.
>>134478569
>Literally killed Free and Kyoani
>>134478759

Your ugly edgekid contributed in killing the franchise. Good job.
>>134476330
All I want is to see is an adult aged Ikuya.
>>134478693
Yeah, the High Speed! LN was set in elementary school. Even though they knew better back then, somehow this disaster still happens. Was it arrogance?
>>134478701
He complained about the "new guys", which implies he doesn't read the LN, retoid.
>>134478702
>>134478739
Maybe they were planning to make a new movie with both old and new characters being in one movie later? Kinda like what Marvel is doing with their superheroes.
>>134478831
Whom you'll never see as Kyoani won't want anything to do with a flop character.
>>134478862
Too bad there probably won't be any more Free movies after this flop.
>Free flopping
2015 sure is an entertaining year.
>>134478862
>Maybe they were planning to make a new movie with both old and new characters being in one movie later
I'm happy the show is kill if that was their plan.
>>134478831
If KyoAni ever does anything Free related again, a character from a flop movie like High Speed will appear for 10 seconds tops, if at all.
>>134478785
That's a shame. They should at least run every day.
>>134478802
I'm still going to watch. Everyone was saying Free! was gay trash, but it really wasn't like that and I actually liked it.
>>134478822
Please stop the bullying. Ikuya is a sensitive soul.
>>134478896
KnK and Tamako didn't sell really that well either and they still made movies. Maybe you have no idea if KyoAni is losing money or if this will stop them from doing more movies? Just a guess I don't know...
>>134478955
This shota killed Free huh.
The only comfort I take in this is that there will be no sequel movie and no resolution for anyone.

>>134479122
Eupho movie is a recap movie. I heard the absolute madmen will release it on theaters too. Maybe they have found a way to turn coal into gold and they just don't give a fuck if their shit sells anymore.
>>134479153
This is such a stupid thing to do I can't believe it happened.
>>134478242
You say this like KyoAni doesn't usually finish off with a movie. Even if it sold well, there was about as much chance of another Free! movie as there was another Tamako one.
>>134479153
>Shafting the second most popular character from the main cast, the second most popular pairing, and characters well appreciated
Yeah, I wonder where these 100 million yen missing are from.
>>134479122

>>134479334
How many times are you going to post this? Just a question.
>>134479321
You say this as though Kyoani doesn't appreciate easy money.
kyoani went full retard this time
>>134479122

>>134479386
Unfortunately Free isn't easy money anymore.
>>134479383

It'll be interesting to see the ticket sales in the third week since the two most popular characters are getting their coasters released then.
>>134478990
>>134479028
>>134479060
>>134479102
Resign yourselves from using Ikuya as the scapegoat.
Did you take into consideration it was Takemoto's direction, Nishioka's writing, or that KyoAni wanted to equally balance out the cast between the newly introduced characters and old characters possibly ostracizing their audience because it wasn't executed as they expected?
Ikuya is not the villian so quit villifying him.
>>134479432
She's adapting Koe no Katachi

By the end of S2, they're still together. This movie didn't make or break anything, it was literally just a wankfest for MakoHarufags. Feels very good.
>>134479677
>>134479497
>>134479490
Nah, Ikuya didn't kill an entire studio, the fans did.
I am sure the story and characters are good yet all they care for is their own pairings to not care about the story, they probably expected a MakoHaru lovefest of a story along with the original characters, so when KyoAni betrayed their expectations they protested.
And Ikuya a cute. CUTE.
>>134479949
>they probably expected a MakoHaru lovefest of a story
That's pretty much what the movie was and it still flopped hard
RIP in pieces Free
>>134479949
Why are they wasting this design on a fucking shota? This is reverse trap material
>>134479949
Just look at this kid's eyes, you can feel the murderous intent through your screen.
>>134479779
3uttah
>>134479949
The movie IS a makoharu love fest. That didn't help at all.
Why did they take all the likeable main characters and shove them to the side except for Makoto and Haru, in what world does that work, even the makaharufags would prefer them to not be shotas

Have you considered the possibility that there are several people who share the same opinion? Especially since it's true.
>>134479552
1st week a cuties.
>>134480045
Maybe they thought that since MakoHaru is the most popular Free pairing it would make the movie a success by itself. Making a sequel movie could have seen as a hazard by them since Haru and Makoto end up with different careers so they went with what they thought was a "safe" option a produced a movie that went all out with the MakoHaru pandering to make up for the lack of the rest of the main characters from Free and promoting the fuck out of the movie. Needless to say it doesn't seem to have worked.
>>134479552

The only one who seems to be bothered by it is you. Nothing wrong with reinforcing correct opinions.
>>134480372
B-be gentle ghostfags.
Maybe nip fujos just realized Free is too shit to keep on throwing money at it.
>>134480332
I agree man, they shouldn't have relegated the original cast to getting barely 1 seconds of screen time. Besides, MakoHaru fujos only make up half the fanbase, that ain't saving no movie, let alone one with shitty source material to begin with.
Is it true the movies 97% MakoHaru? Also do they really almost accidently kiss and hold hands? That's pretty gay even for kyoani.
Did they feel they could go all out because of his being about their younger selfs and before Makoto turned into a selfhating homophobe?
>>134480316
S-Shut up.
>>134480326
At least there's no risk of getting any of those new faggots. Plus Haru and Nagisa are a cute pair and they'd do great songs. Now if they could add Momo to make a true unit it'd be perfect.
>>134480511
This is a thread about the movie flopping. Go ask tumblr.
>>134480511
>Also do they really almost accidently kiss and hold hands?
Yes
>>134480511
Probably, but no one was there to see it since no one watched the movie.
>>134480483
Nah, they're just more interested in throwing money at their favorite characters from the show, not the new guys. MakoHaru by itself won't make up for the losses from ignoring the rest of the fanbase.
>>134480511
>even all this gay shit wasn't enough to save the movie from flopping
MakoHarufags are weak
>>134480511

I haven't heard that one in a while, this thread is bringing up all the old hits.

That's standard MakoHaru lewd so yes.

>>134480778
Too bad KyoAni doesn't know how to make good use of both of their cash cows instead of just MakoHaru.
>>134480778
True that.
>>134480852
Nah, but yeah on the screen time.
>>134480844
All they had to do is switch Nagisa and Ikuya so box 1 could be a worst boys box.
>>134480894
It just became a nightmare near the end where all the "discussions" about Haru's future were just thinly veiled RinHaru vs MakoHaru wars.

If memory serves right, Utsumi confirmed in an interview or whatever that Rin would have been okday with it if Haru decided not to go pro after all. Let's not start that discussion again though.
>>134478274
I'm reasonably certain their casts have historically been picked by Lantis. Chihara Minori, Yuko Goto and Daisuke Ono for example are signed to Lantis and Aya Hirano used to be signed to Lantis as well up until they fired her for being a slut. Half the cast of K-On were part of the Sphere group run out of Lantis and the cast of the upcoming Myriad Colors is literally just an iDOLM@STER unit. Seriously Kyoani owes and still owes so much of it's success to the Bandai Visual group it's almost comical that people think they're some shining example of a do it yourself animation success story.
>>134481406
Literally no one. Inside sources of mine are reporting these numbers are a hoax to keep Kyoani's shameferu flop from the public eye.
>>134481470
>Utsumi confirmed in an interview or whatever that Rin would have been okday with it if Haru decided not to go pro after all

>>134481368

>Nagisa should be fucking Samezukas

>>134481510
Yeah she's saying Rin manipulated Haru's fish brain into going down the pro route. Too bad.
>>134481470
So Rin lied? Manipulative cunt.
>>134481469
I can agree with that.
>>134481368
My cute little Burd
>>134481510
No, she's saying that Haru was Rin's inspiration when it comes to swimming, not that he couldn't go on without him and would break down if Haru didn't go pro.
>>134481469

Australia is a very important place to Rin, and that’s exactly why he wanted Haruka to see, “Look at this world waiting out there!” If he’d just wanted Haruka to see a pool where international tournaments are held, Rin could have taken him straight to the pool and been done with it—but he wanted Haruka to feel, with his own skin, just how wide the world was. Of course, it was up to Haruka himself to decide how to react to that once he understood it, and if he hadn’t felt anything at all, then that would’ve been fine too. I believe that Rin brought him to Australia, fully committed to that.

Yet he still tried to be a desperate slut anyway. And in the end, Haru didn't even leave Japan. What a fucking failure you are, Rin.
