Characters for Anime Japan 2017.

>>150994979
The Zaku isn't a character; it's a piece of trash.

>all those anime that werent even on this year or obscure as fuck choices.
>no obvious choices like Rem, Mob or Guts to attract the casual/into anime enough types of fans that go to cons.

Oh hey the shopkeeper made it.

I wonder if Hanamaru will have anything new or if it's just there because Ufo's anime is.

>>150995552
Who?

Most of those are pretty good choices.

>>150995717
The animate guy.

>>150995369
>obscure as fuck
None of those are obscure though.

nobu a best

>>150995786
>brave witches
>show by rock
>fujo pedaling

>>150995854
I'm pretty sure Pedal is pretty popular.

>>150994979
I don't know any of those characters

>>150995854
Show By Rock!! isn't obscure and a gif of Cyan from this season's opening became particularly popular.

>>150994979
>Char
>Kodai
>Hibiki
Those are the only ones I like. Why is Canaria there her show is QUALITY?

Shut your damn mouth, the Zaku has character. The Tamadra on the other hand

>Elias
Interesting choice.

>>150994979
I can't wait for Darker Than Black S3 to finally be announced this year.

>Osomatsu

ayyyyy

>>150995854
Reminder that obscure in the west is no indication that it's obscure in moonland.

Rin instead of Saber? I'm surprised.

RIN PLEASES SPONSORS FOR A SPOT OHOHOHOHO

>>150997206
>Nozaki there
Did Japan like the anime that much? I really wish we get a 2nd season. Fucking probably won't and instead we get another damn season of yuru yuri ;-;

>>150997164
The shopkeeper existed way before Lucky Shit

>>150994979
So Satelight choose Hibike over Freyja huh.

>>150997206
>Trigger's cardboard cutout shit got a spot in while Kyoani doesn't

Oh i am laughing.

>>150997870
*Hibiki

Those spots are literally based only on what the production companies want to show with a tradition of only showcasing series that are getting nothing in that particular Anime Japan. YuYuYu showed up in the 2015 logo but only had any presence now, Osamatsu had a booth last year but only shows up in this year's logo. It's curious.

Read the thread.

>>150997902
It looks like Satelight(or Sanyo?) is one of production companies?

>>150995369
>obscure as fuck
Nigga what?

>>150996138
>S3
Was there even a second season?

>>150997774
Where on his post he implied otherwise?

>>150997880
Ninja slayer is Kadokawa's property, Kyoani is on it's own for most of time.

>>150998018
Satelight is part of Sankyo group while Sanyo is Panasonic's

>>150997870
Symphogeah is a huge moneymaker now, GX sold like 20k

Will 2017 the year AnimeJapan announces some huge sequels

>>150997870
Delta was in >>150997164 maybe they're announcing Symphogear for spring

>>150994979
I thought the dude in the green coat was just a character from lucky star

>>150995369

The anime industry is in a really really weird place right now. It doesn't even seem to know what's popular anymore or what it wants to do besides try to bait otaku and fujo into supporting terrible shows with terrible scripts constantly. I kind of gave up on it at the beginning of these year really. I think /a/ did too with all of it's shitposting instead of just straight up admitting it. I mean fuck I maybe recognize half those characters at best and they're all ones from anime that didn't even air this year.

>>151000228

More of the same shit we've been getting for most of the decade so far is my odds on bet with more preference to fujoshi oriented stuff since that seems to be the direction the industry really wants to go.

Looks like you weren't even here when it was airing.

>>151001378
Don't frequent /a/, mostly saw it on /m/

>>151001360
Oh

>>151001412
/m/ is a dead board. Of course you aren't going to get much discussion out of that board.

What is even the point of these?

>>151001482
Seriously isn't this a new record for most characters from a same show or even franchise? The anime is basically flopping too, what the fuck happened?

>>151001532
Hanamaru isn't flopping at all.
CDs selling like crazy too.

Why newfags like to talk out of their asses?

>>151001482
It's one of the most popular franchises among girls, why would they not want to include it as much as possible?

New here?

>>151001360
It's also one of the shittiest anime ever. Nana power.

>>150999853
20k + tons of music CDs

>>150994979
Surprised to see the magus's bride in here

It getting an anime or something? Or is it just because of the OVAs?

Cyan is an adorable cutefu.

>>151002621
Plus merch. Having a consert every year helps too.

>>150997751
It sold really well, and the manga is popular.

>>150997880
Ninja Slayer is great

QUALITY Code's lack of production value is meme-worthy.

>>150996379
>western convention

>>151005529
Wait my bad, I was thinking of another convention.

>>151001249
It's going to be 50/50 of yuri and fujoshi shows

yuri shows will find the will and way to survive like Symphogear, Nanoha and Mai Hime

>>151002582
>It's also one of the shittiest anime ever
and that show got a 4th and 5th season while your show didn't, sucks to be you bitch.

The logo looks like a girl's crotch with her tie-side panties being removed.

>>150997902
>>151001529
There is probably no other factor for being in there other than the rights holder of the franchise also being a sponsor of the event.

About the lack of synchronisation with the booths, I think it just happens because you can then promote far more series, as people who go in the event for news and products of the series they like will also be exposed a lot to the logo.

this one anon

>>151007439
Well, I'm not surprised to not be the first one that noticed it.

>>150996799
Rinne is obscure on /a/ maybe, but the show gets 3.0 ratings in Japan, sometimes even entering the top 10.

>>150994979
>biki

Does that mean finally S4 news?

>>150995854
>brave witches
Strike Witches used to be super popular with otaku
>show by rock
Smartphone game everyone plays, has had exclusive cafe events, a stage play and media related to the anime has sold out on multiple occasions after being released
>fujo pedaling
Literally has its own annual cycling event, had a multi-volume stage play, was acknowledged in western cycling magazines and had multiple collaborations with Bianchi and Cannondale

>>151007452
The best part is that was years ago.

>>151005465
Cyan is bae

>Qualidea Code

I thought they selected characters based on actually having relevance, but turns out it's just Aniplex shilling again.

>>151008737
>AnimeJapan 20XX is an anime consumer show sponsored by anime production companies
>Aniplex is one of those anime production companies
It truly boggles the mind.
