Did Girlish Number flop because it was too smart?

Chitose intimidated the average viewer

real people scare otaku away

Shit drama.

>>160185677
It flopped because Chitose's personality turned off many people, and because the show gave a negative (if realistic) view of the industry instead of a positive view. Which is a shame considering Chitose, flaws aside, was likable (and so were the other girls).

tfw too smart to make money

>>160185677
Chitose didn't fit the nips shit tastes

>>160185783
I don't even remember the drama. Like one girl had daddy issues and the other had mommy issues. Whatever Chitose was the only reason to watch the show.

The manga seems pretty good

>>160186742
Anime where the focus is waifus have to present the women with admirable traits or men won't enjoy watching them. If you're so lonely anything will do, that's your problem, but believe it or not, men don't find women interesting. Real women are vile nags who are good for nothing to most men but sex. This shitshow (literally) presented "waifus" that had all the qualities of talking to your ex in public and nothing else. Who would buy a figurine of their ex? There is a reason this show flopped as hard as it did. As I said, if I wanted to watch 3dpd, I'd go watch netflix or hollywood. Now kindly fuck off back to red.dit.

I'm still hoping for that s2 because they keep doing events. A few days ago there was "back stage talk" with Watari, OST guy, illustrator, VAs, and people from Diomedia and someone other from production committee. Next month there'll be new "Kuzu Radio", the program they did every week when GN was airing. Who knows, maybe they'll go "fuck it" and adapt Watari's 3 volumes LN.

Why? Except Chitose, they all cared and helped each other.

>>160187171
Real women help each other, so? Do you by chance have no experience with them?

>>160187128
The only thing you pointed out is that you're dumb r9k fedora tipper.

What other "qualities" did you mean?

>implying the show flopped because otaku were """afraid""" of Chitose or that the show was too """real"""
Damn you people are dumb. It fucking flopped because the drama was awful and the originally quirky shit the show did in the start got overtaken by literally the most generic character arcs that could have been in any sort entertainment-based industry story. Not to mention the animation just tanking halfway into the show.

People fucking loved the cast especially Chitose. Why the fuck do you retards even think it got a new short anime in the first place? Because the 4koma cut off all the retarded meat and just kept the appealing gimmicks of the cast as well as the franchise's attempt at poking fun at the lowest hanging fruit in the industry.

You've got to throw the viewership a bone every once in a while; especially if you're trying to appeal to the brainier corners of the market.

You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my Chitose away

I hope she'll like it.

Fucking this. All I wanted was Kazuha's mobage addiction story.

>>160187530
Do you believe Chitose would love an Otaku?

>>160187620
Well she does want to fuck her brother.

>>160187620
I'm sure that girls from Urara or Hinako Note would love an Otaku, but for some reason they flopped too.

People wanted to spite Watari for still not finishing Yahari.

>>160187643
Yes because her brother is definitely relateable to the average otaku who watches moe waifu-on-platters anime.

>>160187679
Ok?

Chitose is the worst. I would've punched her for being such a bitch.

>>160187762
>Ok?
Your whole point is that "hurr they didn't like the characters because they weren't your average waifubait" which is wrong.

>>160187800
Yeah but whereas those girls were just stuck in bad anime, the girls from Girlish Number were the complete opposite of what an Otaku would throw money at. They were abrasive and acted like real women.

>>160187936
>acted like real women.

Did you watch past the first episode?

Then explain why did Kirino i.e arrogant, violent, ungrateful, angry tsundere bitch get so popular.

I... I wrote a song for Chitose.

Hello bitch, we meet again
It's been awhile, where should we begin?
Feels like forever
Within my head are memories
Of no-names that you voiced repeatedly
Oh, I remember

When you are with me, my ears bleed
You're useless, I believe
Above all the others you'll die
This brings tears to my eyes
My Chitose

I hope she'll like it.

>>160188046
Are you a fucking retard? How hard is it to differentiate anime girls from real women? And yes I watched 4 episodes then dropped it like all of Japan did. The anime flopped, hard. I'm trying to explain why but you're being defensive. What I say is backed up by sales, vs your emotions. Let it go, shit sucked hard. Good riddance.

>>160188207
Real women /=/ violent tsunderes. Kirino was still a fantasy girl, nothing like a real woman. There is an audience for waifus like her. Just look at Asuka from NGE.

>>160188335
Kirino was a huge bitch, just like a "real woman".

>>160188335
>Are you a fucking retard? How hard is it to differentiate anime girls from real women?
Are you too dumb to make an actual, clear point instead of settling for insults and vague non-answers?
>I'm trying to explain why
What makes you think you're "right"? Nips might have not liked the story, not the characters, like you're claiming.
>And yes I watched 4 episodes
Figures.

>>160188681
Yes, the indepth story of a moe waifu selling anime. Maybe if I just stuck out for the 5 episode rule. You're too mentally challenged to talk to so I'm done with you.

>>160188527

Next time you're going to "argue" try to actually fully explain yourself instead of shitting out a few buzzwords and then act like a dumb 12 years old by calling everyone retarded if they disagree with you. "Because I say so" is not actually an argument.

>>160186089
This show was easily AOTS for me but I'll never not be disappointed at the lack of Kansai cake.

FUNNY STORY

>>160185677

The only reason this show didn't do better was because it didn't give enough screen time to kansai cake, the best girl.
