Japan love western anime

What do people think of Hitsuji no Shaun?
Who was wrong, who was right?

what is the point of this thread.

>visible S

>babby discovered Sazae-san and Co.

So what even IS Sazae-San? How the hell do you write episodes every week for over 45 years and not have any sort of home media to watch old episodes? Are they actually just recycling episodes and expect the younger audiences to never have seen them before?

Do they even air anywhere but japan?

Yes, and?

>>159482746
>>159483136
They are most watched on tv than the japanese shows

Shaun is a literal masterpiece

>>159483111
I'd assume recycling ideas works well enough. I thought of the show being able to pump out episodes like how comic strips can pump out jokes everyday for newspapers. Its a slice of life after all so it can get away with this type of thing easier than other genres could

>>159483422
The movie wasnt very good

>>159482746
poor boku no hero
tv ratings are not a fan of the series

Western anime?

>>159483502
I didn't know it was possible to be this wrong

>>159485555
Some newshit discovered that "anime" is Japanese for cartoon and that western cartoons sometimes make it onto "most viewed anime" lists again. Happens once a month or so.

>>159485320
Sounds like your average anime.

>>159487524
It's French for cartoons ("dessin animé" - animated drawing) but the Japanese also took the word to refer to their cartoons.

>>159489085
and to refer to animation in general

>>159484384
the ratings were that bad?

>>159489266
It's a late night show. All late night shows get "bad ratings" and nobody gives a shit because they aren't trying to get good ones.

>>159485320
how do you feel about k-on

>>159482746
>Pokemon SM is in the top 10
>YW is gone
>Snack World isn't there either
What went wrong, Level-5?

>>159483112
Maruko-chan used to air on Animax in SEA
Doraemon is widely popular in Asia and Europe

>>159490554
Yokai Watch dropped HARD in popularity after the second game. It was just a fad.

Snack World just feels like a failed concept that tried too hard to be marketable worldwide. It lacks the "collectable shit" appeal their other hit franchises had.

>>159490618
I know it was a fad but it didn't seem like its popularity declined suddenly. I was in Japan last year and as recently as last year YW merchandise was still everywhere, and Pokemon merchandise was noticeably less common. Then again, this was before Sun and Moon were released.

Also, these ratings never fail to amuse me with the fact that Naruto and Boruto almost never appear in these lists. Heck, Naruto used to air right after Pokemon but Pokemon almost always had higher ratings than Naruto (and for that matter, higher ratings than Aikatsu which comes before it).

>>159490554
>>159490618
>>159490712
All Level-5 franchises are fads. It's literally their marketing strategy: Introduce franchise, push it ridiculously hard for a couple years, then drop it and roll out the next franchise once kids start losing interest. They have no interest in lasting appeal. Nobody gives a flying fuck about Inazuma Eleven or Danboru Senki anymore, Level-5 included.

>>159490777
Please Layton, save me from the Yokai.

>>159490712
Naruto used to occasionally appear. It usually only gets slightly too few viewers to make it on.

Aikatsu has struggled hard for years.

>>159489347
>It's a late night show.
it's not. 5:30pm

>>159490933
When I said "franchises", I meant their huge multimedia franchises, not video game ones like Layton. Layton sells because of gameplay, not because "HEY KIDS THIS IS AWESOME GO BUY MERCH NOW!"

>You will die during Sazae-san's lifetime

>>159490975
The manga and merch sell well enough. It'll be one of the yearly adaptation series that'll probably go through the entire manga.

>>159491659
And the ratings were good. At least half of the episodes were in the weekly top 10.

>>159483422
this

So why did YW die out so quickly anyway? It was the biggest thread to Pokemon in years and yet it couldn't sustain that momentum?

>>159490933
Layton witt that cute female lead will bring in new scum

>>159482746
O-saru no JOJO.

>>159495255
Because it's a Level-5 franchise and that's how Level-5's modus operandi works.

>>159489266
Nope. People seem to believe not getting into the top 10 constantly is considered bad. the ratings for the entire 1st cour:

*3.3__*3.4__*3.5__*3.9__*2.9__*2.9__*3.5__*3.4__*3.0__*3.2__*3.0__*2.8__*2.9

About half of the episodes made it into the top 10.
