six months without new works
It is bankrupt now!!!
Anyone else hyped for 3Gatsu? Will be nice after the last couple shitty seasons.
Aren't they working ong the F/E anime
Is that fireworks movie still bombing?
Make more Hidamari Sketch
>>162282376
yup!
on it's way to 2b yen this week
>>162282120
>six months without new works
other than, y'know, a fucking movie
>>162282421
Oh I doubt it gets to 2b on its 4th (5th?) weekend
Remake Madoka as a 24 episode series, but do everything EXACTLY the same. The pacing on that show was its only flaw.
>shaft shitposters were brazilians all along
This makes so much sense
>>162282120
Owarimonogatari came out like a month ago!
>>162282618
Shaft/Butcher can't into pacing.
Madokamonogatari
>>162282120
Just shit out more monogatari.
>>162282421
That's pretty decent for a movie with that many theaters.
>>162283232
They already did that.
>>162282120

>What is Hanabi

I'm hoping to god their money-well runs empty soon so they'll go back to animating unique shows like they did in the early 2000s up until Monogatari. They need to stop using that show as their safe bet every single fucking season and using the same artstyle every single time, and start making good shows that people actually like instead of Japanese Twilight for boys that shiteating otaku buy to bolster their miniscule IQ with wordy brainlet dialogue to overcompensate for their shriveled untouched penises.

>Remake Madoka as a 24 episode series, but do everything EXACTLY the same.
this has got to be one of the most bizarre suggestions i've ever seen.
>>162286372
Slap the Madoka name onto anything and it's an insta-buy among otaku circles. It worked for Monogatari for 8 years, and it'll work for that no doubt.
>>162286434
the fandom is dead as fuck though.
>>162286278
>unique shows
>random gag anime
>moe slice of life

>>162286434
Yeah but Monogatari has an endless supply of LNs to adapt. And the story is just dialogue that comes from Nisio's stream of consciousness. It can be about whatever the fuck like math or time travel or basketball.
Somebody actually needs to sit down and write the next Madoka story, and it has to fit the narrative spun by the first season and movie. It has to take the story somewhere.
That said, pleas somebody just write it.
>>162282421
That's a flop? It's currently Japan's No. 4 movie.
>>162282120
>six months without new works
Fireworks released last month
Owari s2 released last month
Zaregoto OVA released 2 weeks ago
What are you talking about?
>>162286278
>Japanese Twilight
Really dude is this 2009? It's called redditgatari now.
I agree though, Shaft has gotten way too safe. When was the last time they did that stop motion picture thing the liked to do.
>>162287042
Still better than any of the other repititive shlock they've put out over the last 6 years that repeat the Monogatari formula to a nauseating degree.
>>162283232
>>162287296
Was no different back then, every anime they made was either random comedy with their garbage unfunny material inserted for good measure (see moonphase and Natsu no arashi) or the proto monogatari stuff like serious moonphase and ef.
>>162287105
It is like #8 since last weekend, and it will take many more weeks for it to reach 2 billion if it reaches it at all
>>162287047
>Somebody
Where's Urobuchi at?
>>162287385
Busy being a hack realizing he is a one hit wonder.
>>162287371
I still prefer their older works to the whay they make today since they at least tried to put heart, soul and effort into what they made instead of just half-assing things every season and slapping the Monogatari name or artstyle to compensate for it.
>>162287457
They were fine up until 2014, most of the stuff they animated fit their style like Arakawa, Sasami-san and Denpa. Now they are just churning out everything with the same look despite it not fitting like Nisekoi, Zaregoto and 3lion.

>The staff revealed at the press event that completion of SHAFT's animation of the film has been delayed.
I wonder if they can be fixed, they can't even get their act together for a high profile film anymore
>>162282618
The pacing is one of the absolute strongest points of Madoka. It's a masterclass on how to handle a single cour. You're retarded
>>162287047
>next madoka story
>>162282618
The anime industry already has enough 1-cour series artificially lengthened.
See Re:Creators.
Nisekoi S3 when?
>>162282618
Nice idea, but I'd rather have 39 like Utena.
Episodes 1-12 - episodes 1-9 until Homu is revealed to be a time traveller.
Episodes 13-24 - TDS, Oriko, Suzune hell toss in Kazumi for good measure.
Episodes 25-36 - episode 10-12 and rebellion.
Episodes 37-39 - the final solution.

>making the spinoffs canon
please no
>>162282120
>six months without new works
yeah sure if you just so convinietly ignore the fact that they are working on like 3 projects simultaneously
new fate, shigatsu s2 and obviously more monogatari shit
>>162283274
I honestly doubt it'll sell, Monogatari sales have been on a steady downward slope since the original (as is to be expected) but now with Owari S2 pretty much ending the "main" story I doubt they'll be able to sell anything after Zokuowari so soon.
>>162287185
you just save the opie from google new shaft stuff
>>162290438
>monogatari
>selling
and who fucking cares? it's about keeping one of the most popular franchises at the status quo so nerds keep buying useless merch
implying anime studios make bank from box office bucks
tiptoplel
>>162282120
Have them only do Monogatari, fire a ton of staff. Keep the best staff and only animate one-to-two volumes a year.
This way you can get full Studio Ghibli on it and not have to bust out as much work for maximum reward.
Also SHAFT animating Zaregoto was a mistake. White Fox did an amazing job with Katana visually and kept with Take's art style. They should have been the ones to do Zaregoto.
>>162290572
They'll keep buying merch as long as the LN's are coming out, hell they'll keep buying merch even if they stop coming out, at some point they're simply gonna say it's not worth adapting Monogatari anymore.
>>162287385
He's almost finished writing S2 for that puppet show.
Who knows what he'll be writing next, it could literally be anything at this point.
>>162290630
How is the Zaregoto anime? It somehow slipped completely under my radar and I never see anyone talk about it.
>>162282120
The only thing that can save Shaft now is the rebellion sequel.
>>162290691
"It's shit" doesn't adequately express my thoughts on the topic so have a really shit metaphor instead.
Imagine you buy your pizza from Chef NisiO's pizza chain.
You had NisiO personally make you a pizza once and it was fucking tops. It had everything you loved in it and every pizza he's made afterwards was adequate and meeting expectations.
Now SHAFT buys a franchise of NisiO's pizza store and you think to yourself. "This store is closer, I'll try it".
So you order your Monster Pizza and you find that while it's missing a few touches that Chef NisiO's had, its still pretty good so you accept it.
SHAFT reveals that they're revisiting an old classic "The Zarepizza" and you think to yourself that this is a prime time to enjoy some. You order it, get it delivered and when you open the box you find yourself missing half a pizza, the toppings are the exact same as the Monster Pizza minus a few pieces here and there and ultimately you realize that SHAFT doesn't actually know how to make the pizza, they half-looked the recipe and decided "Fuck it, we'll just make it sorta like the original."
At the end all you come to realize is that SHAFT can only make one good pizza and that they should really stick to just that.
>>162290663
>They'll keep buying merch as long as the LN's are coming out
nigga please, you and me both know that the moment shaft stops making more anime adaptation at regular intervals everyone their mother will fucking forget what monogatari even is
>>162290923
Sounds bad, I actually think the Monogatari anime are better than the LNs so I had high hopes for this when I heard about it.
SHAFT is actually extremely busy. Not only are they making new promo material and cut scenes for madoka game but also working on Fate and 3 gatsu no lion as well as another series rumored to drop in 2018.
>>162291150
Yes their problem is they take too much work, and the quality of everything they do suffers. They just don't care about how their productions look as long as they can keep cashing checks I suppose
>>162291243
Well thats not a bad thing considering that is what Shinbo believes in. He states in many interviews he wants to make things that sell. His artsy OVA's and series never sold much in the past so he has a complex about sales now.
Cant blame him.
