What made it so good?

Everything but the main plot.

>>141015945
Makes sense - plot is by far the least important thing in a medium like anime.

Black and White were quite good for anime-original characters.
Main cast was very charming.
The music was great.

Great cast

I feel like the animation was really good where it counted too, although it could of course have been better.

Did it end up selling over 10k? I knew sales were pretty good, but i stopped following it between the time ep11 came out and whenever 12 finally did.

Hold on one fucking second
my brain is remembering something

>a BONES with good anime-only content

How did they pull this off?

If only Trigun was handled with the same level of skill.

>>141015803
the pacing wasn't awful for once

which unfortunately led to lots of "I don't understand whats happening, nothing is explained" posts on /a/ because if a character uses subtle cues for their actions/feelings people with autism can't pick up on it

It's all in here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlxR-6hYdEA

Typical BONES ending but I enjoyed the show.

The episode that hungry alien is trying to eat burgers and the episode where MC goes out with White to watch a movie are my favorite episodes.

It's subjective of course, but I really loved the cast, direction, setting, ost, and so on. It just hit all the right buttons for me.
>>141022360
This too.

I think it averaged 18k but don't quote me on that. OVA in pretty much exactly a month. I want to believe there might be another season someday.

Not gonna lie, I hope so too. Especially if it keeps on doing it's own thing. I thought the anime was more fun than the manga. And that's rare.

>>141015803
Literally the worst anime of 2015, luckily nobody talk about it anymore.

It depends on the chapter for me. I think the earlier material was better in the anime but some of the later chapters were better in the manga. The anime never adapted many of what I consider the best chapters though so overall I would have to give it to the manga, but if the anime ever animated those parts it might overtake it.

Bones not fucking up for once.

/a/ Doesn't talk about good anime tho

>>141015803
American setting with adult characters is one factor.
