Parasocial relationships are a major issue in modern society. This problem isn't limited to voice actors; it also affects YouTubers and idols.
Sometimes, an anime adaptation is just meant to "advertise" the original work. That's why some series only get one season and nothing more.
P.A.Works turning their official website into a phishing site is so creative. It really doesn't seem like something a serious company would do😂
Addendum: The first ten episodes of "Eureka Seven" are quite boring, but the emotional arcs and mecha battle scenes that follow are superb.
Theatrical versions are best for screenings. They are 2 hours long, so everyone can watch them together and discuss them immediately afterward.
The investment for three episodes is actually quite significant. 20-something shows per season × 3 episodes × 24 minutes = almost 24 hours.
A fantasy story set in the Kowloon Walled City?! That premise alone is already super appealing. Looking forward to it!
The pacing of following a series is indeed important. Especially for shows that air weekly, even a one-day delay in subtitles can lead to spoilers.
It's true that they can't be compared, but that's the fun of a fun post! 😂 If you take it seriously, you lose.
The quality of the monthly serialization of Attack on Titan has been very stable. Hajime Isayama has enough time to polish every chapter.
