Slightly back on topic, we have some clues as to Hitagi's and Koyomi's future plans. But other than "being perfect" do we have any insight into what Hanakawa plans on for a future career?

Actually I just re-watched the scene yesterday and what she said was that she was going to travel to figure out what she wants to do next (or something like that). She didn't really say she wouldn't touch a textbook after high school but that she needs time off (an understandable reaction given her background).

See that's the thing. Bake is a record selling series that is in the 70,000+ while other series that they do can't even earn halve of that. Also, it's about time for 14, honestly the hype goes down if you don't give the fans what they want. They still have vol 5 and 6 to think about.

Oh but they don't have to worry about Vol 5 anymore. If anything, it should be already done as there is mastering, printing and logistics to do... Which means Tsubasa's opening is done as well.
...Yet, awfully quiet on bakemonogatari.com. |

Anyway, any news about Tsubasa's OP? Is it going to be on this or on the last episode? |

When added together. Wish I was kidding, Zetsubou Sensei series never got past 6500 and that was first season, latter sold even less. Gorgeous Natsu no Arashi never made it past 1500. Don't remember anything else in bestsellers either. That's why people are so surprised over Bakemonogatari figures. |

Also this whole streaming for Bakemonogatari, plus the fact that producers pay channels for the shows, while not gaining anything from the ads ... makes me wonder why do they do it in the first place. 1. The fact of paying for a slot, reduces their gains 2. Is limiting viewership (late night timeslots) 3. Also except from Tokyo and Osaka, it's rather rare to see anime in the rest of the country, not to mention abroad. On the other hand: 1. It is much cheaper and long.term solution to pay for the streaming infrastructure. 2. Scales production from streaming to DVD/BD release. 3. Is much more accessible and hence much more effective as promotion both domestically and overseas. 4. They can get a decent amount of money from advertisements. On another subject, remember that SHAFT lost their second director (ef, Negima OVAs) to SilverLink this season; that's probably a huge factor in their scheduling problems, which during planning could not be foreseen. |

I'm all for streaming but if our web infrastructure has problems as it is trying to cope with the advent of youtube and other media streaming websites imagine what hurdles the japanese would be facing. It's just not the time (yet).

Man, who are we kidding. Shaft has been giving Shinbou all the jobs in the first place. They might as well have him as the only director. I just want to point out that if Shinbou dies or goes to another studio, Shaft will be deader than GONZO.

1. This is not consistent with the prevalence of Flash sites in Japan for RIA, especially when one takes into account that other technologies are much more gentle with bandwidth. 2. The additional load of 10,000 views spread over a period of days would be insignificant to the carriers. 3. That load is of no concern to the service providers, only to the carriers. 4. Accessing an episode from your phone is really convenient, but I find it hard to believe that japanese are deprived of other alternatives, like PCs, notebooks on hotspots, manga stores, IPTV, etc. Also take into account the target group is much more likely to access one of the above, rather his phone But generally I agree with your last observation that it's not time yet, I know from work that technical decisions are made by irrelevant and occasionally incapable managers |

He is the only director available for SHAFT. And yes, his style has become SHAFT's animation trademark. Like omimon says, if Shinbou leave SHAFT, SHAFT will hit rock bottom. |
