Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	I see anime updates every day from various websites. There's tons of it. Most of which I never see people talking about. I'm not saying all of it is garbage. But there's a lot of obscure stuff there. Is there too much anime for its own good? Perhaps if there was less of it then we'd have more to talk about? If you get my meaning.

It's just silly, if there's a them there's at least 30 anime to do with it every few years. And some of them are really good! But there are so many that you're not likely to want to drag yourself through them all and find the good ones and they ultimately go unnoticed and never get a second season. And of course if you want to find the good ones specifically you have to go by fanboy/fangirl opinions where every single one of them is "the best anime ever!" no matter how just...bad they are. Due to this I pretty much just stick to mainstream stuff, if millions of people like it then it must have some quality to it, why attempt to get invested in a series nobody can say anything about.

The amount of stuff being produced is dwarfing the amount of talent actually available to make it I believe.

Mozilla Firefox Favourite Manga Berserk all day erry day	Yeah it's sad seeing what are apparently good manga's come out with s***ty animation and bad acting. There's one recently possibly based on light novels where they got a hentai artist to animate it, who pretty much ignored the character designs and made extremely cutesy hentai looking characters. I guess it might die down? They're never that popular so surely they'll stop at some point and let the pro's like Madhouse do their thing.

I've had this talk a few times now with other people. The reason I don't care that much about anime anymore is because finding a good one or one that I would watch and is worth watching is like finding a needle in a haystack. There are so many sty ones with barely any good ones. And even when you find one you like, chances are it's not popular and you have no one to discuss it with because Japan rarely knows how to get the word out on series that aren't bad Japan needs to slow it down Edited by Ssj3vegito96*, Jan 22 2016, 11:48 PM.

Nothin Favourite Manga Nothin	Sometimes less is more No of anime shows produced/pre-produced in a SINGLE day in Japan > No of humans dying in a WEEK in Japan Thats the impression I get whenever I visit sites like Anime New Network/Nihon Anime Reviews Oversatured is a word. Over-indulgence is an emotion lol Japanese Anime Industry needs to cool down. But guess thats not gonna happen as its fightin 4 survival to get best-slots/segments during peak hours. Which basically reflects in spiked viewership & ratings. Some good shows dont get past Season 2, while crappy mainstream biggies are "interminably long", which beyond a point. Is. Nauseating. lookin at One-Piece, Bleach Just how much profit they (anime industry) get frm this bussiness? Multi-billion Companies like TOEI & Pierrot are exceptions But relatively small, yet efficient ones like MadHouse & BONES produced abundant quality stuffs which sometimes drowns in the ocean it created in da 1st place

Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	I suspect that Madhouse will become a victim of its own success. Perhaps becoming a corporate cliché? Perhaps investing too heavily in a doomed project? It could very well become what we dislike the most about the anime industry if it keeps being successful. Or it could get bought out by Toei and get completely gutted.

Nothin Favourite Manga Nothin	Suprisingly, many projects/shows of MadHouse under-performed in Japan. Its bizzare to know how a leading company with penchant for picking-up quality/good works & elevating its appeal (top-notch animation, un-plagued/bogged-down by fillers & epic scores) couldnt out-perform some crappy biggies done by TOEI/Pierrot

There were always a lot of anime since the dawn of anime. The reason there seems to be many anime is because of their increasing popularity outside of japan and korea. Due to which US also opened up a lot more ports and increased the widths of their existing anime ports/channels.
