I was disappointed too, but these numbers don't bode well for another season to try again.

Stay angry anon, it's delicious.
I didn't say it 'saved anime', I said it opened doors, which it did in droves. People who've never look twice at an anime that wasn't a Ghibli movie were willing to give this series a chance. Demographics are shifting whether you want to believe it or not.

>>151252764
Not anymore than the most homo of past seasons. Fujos enjoy sports and shounen anime as much as the kiddies do so it's not like they need to do anything different to cater to them.

>>151252791
YOI is an anomaly. Say it'll be one way and it will prove you wrong.

60k is a pipe dream but Touken Ranbu, another fujo show, was just estimated last week at 6k and v1w1 was actually 19k so they can be difficult to predict.

That would be like saying you didn't like Disney movies in the 90's, in which case you'd be a liar.

>>151253888
Touken Ranbu is second largest browser game after Kancolle. Before anime it was expected to sell at least 35k 40k first volume. It did poorly. Obviously some of the fujo fanbase are buying Yuri instead.
>>
>>151254018
Its not just Touken though. Haikyuu, Free, Servamp, UtaPri, fucking Super Lovers- they all get massively underestimated. I'm not saying its going to sell 60k vol1, but acting like 27k (or whatever its prediction is now) vol1wk1 is its limit is a little dumb.

A little bit of both. If you like Yamamoto Sayo's other stuff, you'd probably enjoy parts of this, but the relationship between the main characters is the driving force of its popularity for sure as it's a bit of a refreshing take for BL fans.

Figure skaters aren't that popular. Who don't love free advertisement? Anime trends on twitter all the time.
>>
>>151254910
I like cute relationships personally. It can be yuri, yaoi or straight but typically it's because when you see a gay romance they are more flamboyant and sexual undertones where as strait is just a whole lot of misunderstandings or yuri is just fanservice. There's good and bad in each genre.

Most girls just like that forbidden romance garbage but for some reason hate incest or any other "forbidden" fetish.
>>
>>151255009
Affirming and reaffirming their friendship.
>>
>>151255000
If they're smart about it they'll do it in 2017. Might even ditch Sayo like they did to Rie and Kekkai Sensen(the other fujo hit). They should follow the Free example and do a project every year.

Not sure how AoT is related but I'd say YoI is just as mainstream as fucking Free.

>>151255132
I honestly don't understand the hardon people have for Sayo. She managed to make Lupin boring. That's a hard feat.
>>
>>151255184
I think YOI will outsell free by at least 10k. But both are not mainstream. Kimi no Na wa is mainstream. Late night anime isn't.
>>
>>151255185
I've always found her stuff quite entertaining to watch at the very least actually, though I can't give full opinion on her take on Lupin since my only experience with the series is watching Castle of Cagliostro as a kid
>>
>>151255219
I agree. I was using the term loosely because the person I was replying to did. Though when late night anime start selling 20k+ there usually is some portion of non anime fans contributing though not enough to call "mainstream".

>>151243102
>>Takkyuu Musume - 1378

IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR
>>
>>151254910
Male characters and their dynamics tend to be objectively the best in anime. Take any given series with a mixed cast, including ones aimed at men, and chances are the most interesting relationship will be between two guys. They aren't held back by gender roles or expectations for how they should behave in a relationship, because they're automatically assumed to be platonic from the start. The way female characters are written, especially in het romance, can be very underwhelming for a female audience. They tend to be watered down and inoffensive, so they lack the tension and drama that comes from a male dynamic.

Luckily, gay sex is similar enough to het sex that girls can stay thoroughly entertained by doujins etc without self inserting. Yuri seems boring as fuck with no real mutually stimulating penetration.
>>
>>151254284
/y/ and /u/ have always been around. YOI is one of the very few times where a homo pairing happened outside the BL/yaoi/yuri genre.

There are thousands of waifu and hetero anime out there but the next legit homo anime will not appear until another 5 years. So just let them have this small thing.
>>
>>151254531
It was decent but if you are intensely uncomfortable with the idea of two men together then just skip it. It's nothing explicit or anything, it's all very vanilla, but I know some people would get triggered by two guys standing close to each other.
>>
>>151254910
In most cases because friendship or bromances are much more endearing than typical love interests tend to be. Also helps if you find both characters attractive. It's just a fetish of putting two things you are attracted to together. Goes for both yaoi and yuri.

YOI is a weird exception because it's not a bromance and lots of people say it reminds them of a shoujo couple.
>>
>>151254910
Only fujos do, there are a shitton of otomefags but they don't browse /a/ and there are women who just like BL for the porn but don't ship characters or care about their relationship.

???????

The reason why All Out flopped is because the character design is fucking hideous. They are in the some-obscure-hardcore-yaoi-hentai-you-will-only-pick-up-for-quick-porn tier. What about that Rin ripoff with... Was that toilet paper in his head? It looks fucking ridiculous.

Yoi had thousand of flaws but the characters are charming and the main hooking point.

>>151263065
Pic related is best boy and beautiful, him being voiced by one of my favourite seiyuus is a huge bonus.

Anyway, figure skating is more feminine and refreshing and YoI had a great first episode which pulled the audience in, All Out felt more boring to me.
>>
>>151257262
Madhouse, or whoever theyre making sports anime for, really does not understand their audience. (Also I think the rugby association thing was proven false because I don't see them on the production committee but I'm not sure.)

I don't if it's Teekyuu being impressive or those shows being pathetic.

>>151264346
Anything in the bottom half is pretty interchangable in terms of actal sales when the actual numbers come out. They could all drop or gain a few hundred. Not that it matters.

I'm honestly stunned at how badly Girlish Number is doing considering it had quite a lot of hype behind it. Stella no Mahou was expected though considering it seemed to lack advertising.

It seems only fujoshi shows and already-established franchises do well these days. Not a single dark horse despite this being a pretty above average season with stuff you'd expect the average otaku to love.
>>
>>151243102
YOI will probably sell over that now that a season 2 has been confirmed/implied.
>>
>>151264745
Wasn't Yuri on Ice a dark horse? I remember it got little-hype before it aired and the inital reactions during the prescreeings were lukewarm.
>>
>>151264837
Never underestimate the fujoshi.
>>
>>151264745
Yuri on Ice is the dark horse of the year /a/non. Everyone was hoping for something in Fall could make up the 15k-25k gap 2016 has had in terms of anime sales and YoI came out of nowhere. 2016 had an okay number or 10k sellers (ReZero, Konosuba ect) but it was really missing some of the bigger hits and we knew UtaPri and Touken Ranbu could do it but there needed to he one more for 2016 to be put on par with say 2014.
>>
>>151264837
It was the dark horse of /a/ that's for sure. In terms of the show itself, the real success in YoI has been how willing non-fujos have been to pick it up, and how many professional skaters are talking about it.
>>
>>151264837
Yeah, it was the dark horse. A small animation studio with a writer who has never done anime before and a tiny budget. YoI deserves all the sales it gets and buttblasted otako deserve to feel bad. It's a decent show, and if they'd had more money initially it would have been top tier.
>>
>>151264854
Thats really easy to say in hindsight but up until last month even /a/ was saying that it was about to hit its "6k limit". We know that /a/ is retarded though, but most reasonable people were expecting a 10k hit.
>>
>>151264854
Fujos aren't the only ones buying YoI though.

For you all who aren't into the gays on ice, I just want to say no hard feelings? Anime will resume back to normal in the next seasons and who knows. Maybe this show will inspire those who like yuri to create a good yuri anime that isn't just a romance. From a fujo to non-fujos.

Dude, Love Live massacred 16 fujo shows 3 months ago.
We are the ones who should be saying that

At this point, you best pray that Symphogear S4&5 won't air along side your favorite fujoshows. Otherwise, it will be another one-sided slaughter

YoI is absolutely a female dominated show.
>>
>>151265376
And so is Love Live, your point?
>>
>>151265376
I can see online though that it has a sizable male fanbase.
>>
>>151265285
That's fine. I'm happy with Yoi and don't watch actual BL shows because it's mostly shit. I only read manga and doujin while watching normal shit throughout the seasons. YoI is enough to hold me for several years, season 2 or not.
>>
>>151265428
The west doesn't matter. In Japan, its only bought by women, mostly fujos.

Enough.
>>
>>151265636
Well, yeah. LL is so good it drags everyone into its fanbase. Even the fujos
That's the only explanation for having a fanbase that is half women
>>
>>151265789
No its not retard. The female part of Love Lives fanbase doesn't even watch anime. Theyre idolfags.
>>
>>151265789
LL is for normalfags. Families watch that shit.

Dude, you can't be any fan of anything if you are not going to watch the main franchise

>>151265961
Considering how there were literally reports of women whoring themselves out for a couple of tickets, and die hard fans who bashes anyone who insults the franchise, then I dare say not.
It's PG-13, but so is Animal Farm
>>
>>151266088
Wait, in case you are not a /lit/, Animal Farm is a highly influencial literature that discusses politics and corruption using cartoony animals
It's childfriendly but adults are the main audience

Another example are Lord of the Flies, Don Quixote and Guillivers Travels

I'm going to sleep
>>
>>151266088
Idolfags are crazier than animefags, dont get me wrong. But the idea that fujos are buying shows with female casts in masse is ridiculous. Even otome probably won't bite.
>>
>>151266261
You are aware that girls, even the old ones, tend to love sparkly shit and dresses right? There is such a thing as enjoying both.
>>
>>151266261
Not all female otaku are fujoshi.
>>
>>151266669
I am aware. Thats why Love Live having a big female audience doesn't necessarily mean that it has a big cross over with Yuri on Ices audience, because many female LL fans don't watch anime in general but are more just idolfans, and the ones that do are unlikely to be fujos.
