Oh sure, I meant bad news for Kyoani more than him, I'm sure he has a good reason for leaving, but the studio won't be able to count with his skills anymore. I found him to be a bit inconsistent but he could do some good stuff.
What you say is true though, they do have a lot of directors so maybe they won't need anyone just yet. |

The petition isn't going to do anything at all. "Oh hey, you got xxxxx signatures, how many of them are going to pay for something we make?" is the important question. As much as we say KyoAni animates things they want to do (and even then we point out the issues of production committees and producers agreeing on themes/material), they're a business first and foremost. Why would they animate anything for a market which hasn't given the JP market enough funding to make anything in the past 3 years? Ask yourself how many people who signed the petition are willing to pay $70 each for 6-7 volumes, because that's a huge part of how committees make back their funding. NA anime fans have 1. dropped in number, and 2. cried out when something costs more than $50 for 11-13 episodes. I don't think this is going anywhere besides publicity for CR and CR mainly. The cherry on top: the shows that can be termed original lately (Chuunibyou/Tamako Market) were made with TBS holding international rights, which went to Sentai/The Anime Network with no streams on Crunchy. If the anime gets made, they won't be able to steam it at all.

The CM is meant to pique the interest that audience. |

It's precisely because KyoAni (and Animation Do by extension) does whatever they want to do that this swimming anime will likely never be a full-fledged series. Their CMs are just big dong-waving displays that demonstrate what they can do to potential producers like Aniplex, and this doesn't necessarily correspond with what they actually want to do. Only a production company with money will ever convince KyoAni to animate something that isn't an original in-house creation like Tamako Market. This Crunchyroll online petition is a sad joke that's going nowhere.
Also, wake me up when a KyoAni anime that isn't produced by TBS or Kadokawa is made, because those flashy CMs don't seem to be working yet. |

It doesn't necessarily have to do anything with BL just because it's a female audience. |

I don't think the main reason behind these CM's is at large meant to attract business partners/production committees at all. Their output probably isn't at a point where they could handle another party into the mix yet. The Kadokawa and TBS relationship seems to be pretty satisfying enough to them for now.
If anything, I'd say the CM's are more just for brand name purposes and getting themselves out there. Perhaps maybe also as a little creative outlet so that they don't get bored and can do something different every now and then.

Anyway, to answer your question about yuri, the customer base is too small for it to be a matter of generalization. Nevertheless, shows like K-ON! (which caught on with teenage girls as well as the core otaku fanbase) and Lucky Star are indeed criticized as fodder (i.e. moe crap) for losers who gush over young girls. |

Somehow the rising views isn't really surprising me anymore but the attention it's getting from a certain audience is pissing me off.
I'm not even pissed because they like it, I'm pissed because they're twisting facts. After learning about that bogus crunchy petition, this thing is getting worse than expected. Now I'm absolutely hell bent in wishing this doesn't show up so these clowns get a reality check. Also whoever posted that vid still hasn't added any description about it even though a lot of info about it is available. I think having a decent one would lessen the idiots making shit up.

I think something either needs to come of this commercial or it needs to be put to rest within the community. There's something just unhealthy about all this obsession over a 30 second animation showcase that shows no sign of currently being anything other than a one shot and all the signs of being just that . There's no pitch, no visible marketing push behind it and now when you have 3rd parties looking to profit over the bizarre obsession with it it threatens to get ugly. I agree its time for a reality check on this matter now as opposed to any time later.
This is not a post meant to criticize fujoshi by the way so much as the incredibly weird to me obsession over this animation short. |

KyoAni hasn't given any indication that this is any more than a commercial, so it's probably time for people to move on from it and accept that it is, in fact, just a commercial. Even if this commercial was KyoAni's way of seeing what potential interest there would be in them doing a fujoshi-focused show, I would imagine they've gotten the message loud and clear by now.
