The anime BD scene has largely been dead for a while, it's just been masked by a small handful of franchises or concepts with ultra devoted fanbases like Love Live, Type-Moon, Gundam, Monogatari or Fujoshi/Yuri flavor of the season anime. When even big A-1 hype projects like Gate with huge pre-installed fanbases struggled maybe it's a sign that people are just losing interest in buying overpriced anime.
Like not even just outlier fans but core fan types in general just seem to be tapping out of late as the Japanese economy struggles leaving only some fetishist and idol fags to pick up the slack. Perhaps this is where the fujoshi audience is coming in to dominate things now as it is still buying somewhat well compared to a lot of the other subcultures. They have a chance to take over from the male otaku who used to buy more than them.

The blatant mis-use of "fujoshi" in the past five years has been bugging me.

YOU STILL CAN'T HALVE THAT, YOU FUCKING IMBECILE.
>>149619474
reminds me of the autistic mofo that cleared Mario 64 with three button presses. he was making up bullshit concepts like half presses and the such
>>149616910
i didn't know that
>>149619561
hmm, its almost as if it was referencing that. really makes you think.
>>149619074
That's the huge pre installed fanbase
>>149623246
Yeah, no shit. That's what I was pointing out to the other anon

Or Maybe because the anime was so fucking redone for kids? Removing the good stuff and giving it hideous art.
>>149623643
I dunno about Japan but here in Murika when something is redone for kids it sells more, not less.
The GATE anime should have happened years before it actually happened.
Outbreak Company, a parody of GATE, got an anime two years before it.
>>149623898
Did it parody GATE by making fun of its delusions that the JSDF are all powerful and can defeat anything and anyone?

Are you American?
>>149616910
Aniplex Guy, I don't really care if you fling shit in already-shitty sales/studio-wars threads that I try to stay out of as much as possible anyway, but please don't fucking start your own cancerous threads. Thanks.
>>149624210
>patriotism is right wing!
Very likely.
>>149624210
In Japan wanting any offensive military action at all is right wing. I'd ask if you're American if you find that strange.
lolwut
>>149624323
>offensive military action
No such thing in Gate
