Look at this. There was no fanservice in TV broadcast.

Only Crab's in Ep.2

Japan really liked it.

>>154081593
>no fanservice
I don't understand why nips like it either. It's pretty shit and a testament to their everlasting shit taste.

>>154081739
Why?

>>154081965
Self inserting perhaps?

>>154083357
Araragi has an actual personality

>>154081593
Okay, I can sort of understand why you'd think there wasn't much fanservice if you've only watched Bake and no following seasons, but

>no famous names
What?
Shaft was already a big studio at that point, and almost every seiyuu in the show is a AAA-lister. I actually don't think I can think of a franchise with more big names.

>>154083659
> Shaft was already a big studio at that point

Only Kamiya and Sawashiro.

Physically end yourself

>>154084114
Bake has no fanservice. Almost.

Senjougahara is practically naked for half of episode 2

best love story ever told

>>154084187
She is naked for 5 seconds.
Underwear is nothing special by anime standarts.

>>154081593
>Only talking heads
Well the talking is really good

>Bake was their first big hit.
How is Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei not considered a big hit, it got 3+ seasons? Shinbo's been recycling the specific style he used in it & Hidamari Sketch for pretty much everything he's worked on since as well.

>>154083904
Chiwa Saito? Hanakana? Emiri Kato? Yui Horie?

Amazing characters
Interesting dialogue
Immediate relationship between crab + araragi which feels refreshing after a billion shows with beta males teasing to get a girl for 24 episodes.
The animation was good enough to tell the story plus it looked really nice with great backrounds.

Because it's good.

>>154084529
>How is Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei not considered a big hit
It got pretty low sales. Sure, they made 3 seasons, but they were mostly made out of love instead of profit. Take in mind this was back when Shaft was small and about to die. They even comment on how they were rushing every episode to meet deadlines and stay under their budget.

>>154084535
HanaKana kinda got her BIG boost with Bake instead of before it.

>>154084535
> Chiwa Saito?
Senjou and Homu are her only big roles.
> Hanakana?
Was she popular in 2009?
>>154084529
SZS wasn't very successful.

>>154083904
I can't tell if you're baiting or legitimately an idiot.

>>154084529
SZS didn't actually do that well outside of it's first season, it was more a labor of love than anything else even though we never got to the ending and probably never will, fuck.

>>154084743
It doesn't help that Miyu Matsuki is dead ;_;

>>154084624
I'm glad you have an amazing sense of humor, anon.

Anna in Shimoneta was probably her best role
though she was apparantly already sick at that point

better question is how the fuck nise sold 60k

>>154084894
A pity I didn't watch the same thing you did.

>>154085206
You should try actually watching Bake, then.

>>154084664
I'll give you that but she was already on the rise at the time.
>>154084704
You need to watch more anime, Chiwa Saito was already prolific for years before Bake.

>>154084779
Madoka cursed her and the rest of the studio.

Mahou shoujo is a cursed genre (Sally the Witch's creator died in a house fire, disasters happen when Minky Momo airs, etc.)

>>154085407
So how do you explain Procure?

>>154081593
Kirito
>faithful to his waifu
>occasionally cries during upsetting moments
>has an excuse for his fighting ability
>/a/ hates him

Raragi
>cheats on his waifu all the time
>routinely beats up a little girl
>no explanation for his fighting ability
>half of /a/ worships him

How does this work?

>>154081593
>No fanservice

Did I warp into another timeline?

>>154085826
> cheats on his waifu all the time
He never cheats
> no explanation for his fighting ability
He has no fighting ability

Kirito is gary stu, Arararagi isn't

>>154085826
This is some weak b8. Araragi has no fighting ability and his healing is explained because he's part vampire. Kirito has no explanation for half the bullshit he does except "power of love". 2/10, made me respond.

Anon, the the second-best-selling TV anime before Bake was Gundam "stock footage" Seed. No one cares.

>>154089351
NO FANSERVICE IN BAKE

>>154089460
Nigger, you literally posted an example yourself >>154081726 .

>>154089517
One scene.

>>154089645
I guess you forgot the loli snake throat-rape.

>>154089804
It was on BD only

>>154089804
That was BDs only.

>>154089645
The first fucking minute of the show has a pantyshot.

>>154087763
>Kirito has no explanation for half the bullshit he does except "power of love".
Wrong, he was a beta tester for SAO

>>154089886
> The first fucking minute of the show has a pantyshot.
Wow
Every other show with pantyshots should sell like Bake then.

>>154089989
What? Are you retarded? The discussion here is about your repeated idiotic claims.

There is, though. Quite a bit. Stop moving the goalposts.

I always hear people talk about Japan's shit taste, but what exactly is it being compared to? It's not fair to compare the entire viewership of Japan to only people on /a/. Of course the larger and more inclusive group of people will have shittier taste. Japan still has better taste than any other country when you compare equivalent populations.

>>154081593
How did snoozefest moeshit do so well is the real question

>>154081593
SHAFT STRONK

>>154089916
Beta tester doesn't explain mad hacka skillz that allow him to program a new item into the game in seconds using a moderator terminal and being able to stay alive after he is killed in the game. Beta tester also doesn't justify being able to solo a floor boss.

You gotta understand that mmo anime is ultra-romanticized MMO's

>>154081593

I would say that this actually helped them gain notoriety.
