"Why isn't there a second season for ××××?"
Given the differences in the Chinese and Japanese animation markets, Most of the new animation audiences are just pure appreciation and entertainment, and the issues such as the promotion of the original work behind the animation, cross-media planning, and peripheral sales are not concerned - there is no need to care.
For this reason, probably most anime viewers have no idea how an anime has a second season, or they all stay in the direction of "good or bad", "no money" and "how BD sales".
This time we'll start with the opposite angle, using a few examples to see what would make an anime not have a second season.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Welcome to the power-first classroom: BD sales are too poor</h1>
This work is the hegemony of the famous B station, whether it is 6.2 million followers, or nearly 200 million plays, it is enough to see the love of domestic animation audiences for this work, and it can be found in the comment area that until recently there are still make-up audiences asking whether there will be a second season.
As a rare work of academy dragon pride plus wisdom fighting elements after the rise of the other-world crossing theme, it is no surprise that the well-made "Real Teaching" can obtain the title of B hegemon, and the animation production team also solves the dull problem of the first and middle periods of the original work with clever plot arrangement and welfare shots. From the perspective of the animation audience, this work is a strong candidate for the second season, both in terms of production investment and finished product quality.
But unfortunately, no matter how much traffic "Real Teaching" generates on station B, it has nothing to do with the producer, because this is a one-time buyout of the playback rights.
More importantly, although the TV animation of "Shijiao" improved the problem that the laying process was too dull by deleting the plot, it also deleted the character plot, so that the swimsuit return was not only advanced, but also completely ceded to Horibei Suzune.
This move directly angered a large number of original parties, and the ferocious Yanshang storm even forced the official to secretly modify the main promotional image of the TV animation under pressure, adding the originally absent Karuizawa Kei.
In the end, the TV animation of "Real Teaching" did not calm the disturbance, BD sales were only 1275, which can be described as a textbook case of a good hand playing thin, and it is no wonder that Lerche will be called "the biggest and most vicious desperate company in the history of sales".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Pet Girl at Sakura Village: Word of Mouth Collapses</h1>
This work can be said to be a very kingly Japanese light novel, friendship, love, family affection, effort, setbacks, dreams, the future, genius, mortals, the troubles of youth, the welfare of youth, and even the most popular stock speculation today.
As a traditional light novel from the non-Web background, "Sakura Village's Pet Girl" was published in 2010, and tv animation was launched after two years, and it was half a year of 24 episodes, from the content of the original work to the animation plot arrangement, and even the quality of the animation screen, which can be said to be impeccable. This is evidenced by the work's more than three million followers on the B station, more than 30 million views, and a rating of 9.7.
But it all ended in a bowl of ginseng chicken soup.
In the plot of Aoyama Seven Seas' illness, the original white porridge dish in the original work did not know why it was replaced by the production team with ginseng chicken soup, because of the relationship between Japan and South Korea, this change caused many Japanese audiences to be dissatisfied, and thus there was a fan work titled "삼계荘の김치な Pi Nu", which translated as "Kimchi Girl of Samji Village", which also depicted the popular Korean singer PSY (that is, the Gangnam style) as a criminal. So in turn, it caused dissatisfaction among Korean netizens.
Under this series of reactions, the animation project of "Sakura Village's Pet Girl" is naturally difficult to continue to advance, but as far as the plot of TV animation is concerned, it may be a good choice to let the ending stay here.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > love casual link: activity to death</h1>
"I used to think of you as a self-deprecating object!"
This very powerful line is from this work, "Love Casual Link" is a commonly used folk translation, and later used in the translation of TV animation, and the official translation of Tenbun Kadokawa is "Soul Chain".
The TV animation of this work is from silver LINK., which is known as "good looking or not hot", and the character design is full of Kyoto faces, which is probably inseparable from its character design Akai Toshifumi, because this person has great respect for the animator of the same generation, Yukiko Horiguchi, and has participated in animation production under the name of Horiguchi, and Yukiko Horiguchi is a well-known animator affiliated with Kyoto Animation, who is famous for being responsible for the character design of "Lucky Star".
Since it is from silver LINK., it is logical that "Love Casual Link" looks good, and even if it is placed in the list of silver LINK., it belongs to a relatively outstanding batch, but this work was ultimately ruined by an off-site event.
Before the "Love Casual Link" animation began broadcasting, animation producer Takahiro Yamanaka planned an official whole-person event, inviting several celebrities to audition on the grounds of "original character selection voice actors", and only announced at the first screening meeting that in fact, there were no original characters in the animation, and the selected voice actor Mitsuhiro Ichirai was actually just "Propaganda Minister", and also played a clip of Mitsuhiro Ichiraku reading shame lines during the audition.
Although Mitsuhiro Ichirai himself later expressed his dissatisfaction on Twitter, the incident did not attract widespread attention at first, but instead one of the members of eufonius, a member of the band Eufonius, which later sang the theme song for "Love Casual Link", was searched for human flesh because of the confrontation with netizens, which led to a large-scale exposure of the whole person incident and eventually caused public anger.
This was followed by a large number of animation viewers unsubscribing from BD's one-star bad reviews, and the official reacted and summoned the relevant voice actors to apologize publicly, but it was too late. Under such a bad wind review, "Love Casual Link" naturally cannot launch a second season of animation.
The three examples mentioned above can all be said to be special examples in the hopeless second season of TV animation, and it is not difficult to see that in addition to "good or bad", "is there any money" and "how BD sales are", there are many factors that will restrict the advancement of animation planning.
Even without these off-site factors, there are still many works that have been well received but are still far away in the second season, and most of these works have completed the original work promotion task well in the first season, so that the audience who has entered the pit of the animation has turned to the embrace of the original work beautifully.
For example, the "Magical Forbidden Books Catalog" and "All Metal Frenzy" are works that have fully achieved the original intention of the previous animation, and the reason why they can launch a new season after many years can basically be regarded as the use of love to generate electricity, and in the business circle, the willingness to use love to generate electricity will always be a minority.
