Attack on Titan from this season has both Funi and CR simulcasting it. It could be that very rare exception though, but I can't quite say for sure since I don't really follow the simulcasting scene all that much due to it being not much of a concern to me (region blocks and download vs streaming issues and what not).

Wasn't there a post on this very same thread many many pages back that actually detailed how anime production cycles work? The turnaround time between concept and actually getting aired on the screen can be anywhere from two years to upwards of four or more (Gurren Lagann is one of the more famous examples of the latter). Even if meant tongue-in-cheek, there's no way the recent announcement was influenced by a petition.
So yeah, this was in the cards since at least 2011, it's just that KyoAni actually had something to tease people with released only now.

Regarding slam dunk, I guess it's because the character dynamics were great? I remember cracking up in most of the humor at times. Not to mention the designs were pretty good for that time.

When Lucky Star came out in 2007, I was really interested in it because Kyoto had just made Haruhi (and Kanon, but mainly Haruhi). I watched it with enthusiasm. And I know many others for whom this was also the case. When Nichijou came out in 2011, I didn't really care because it wasn't a sequel and I found KyoAni less interesting than Shaft and PA Works. Tried watching it, couldn't get interested and dropped it. For reasons I still haven't entirely figured out, my interest in them started to rise again after that. By the time Hyouka was set to air, I was back to "interested because it's KyoAni" (and looks cute). Went into it cautiously optimistic and ended up loving the first episode. All I can say is there seems to be a strong correlation between the "0utf0xZer0 KyoAni enthusiasm level index" and "sales of non-sequel anime from Kyoto". And if there's one thing know from experience as a fan, it's that how much enthusiasm I go into a series with makes a big, big different. You could try and convince me collectors are just different in this regard, but I don't think I'd believe you. Quote:

Anyway, I'm glad KyoAni gets to do a fujoshi show (yeah, let's just call it what it is). The question is will fujoshi even like it? I don't care about the outcome, but I'm glad I'm finally getting my turn, as bad, underfunded animation was usually the issue why I never gave such shows a fair chance. Anyone remember Togainu no Chi? |

Anyways I think I read the director is a fujoshi fan (someone correct me if I am wrong) I am not really sure if the primary purpose of this anime (after all its probably not going to go beyond friendship) was to appeal to fujoshi even though I am sure Kyoani anticipated that audience and they will probably be the main group that buys.

Descriptions for a show aren't restricted solely to genres. If you're trying to label them, sure. Describe, anything is fair game.
Anyway I foresee this show will be about 15% competitive swimming, 30% friendship, 60% Water and 100% UPPER BODIES. That's 205% of fabulous. Oh my.

I guess it's debatable whose bright idea was this (Japan's or CR's) but in the end it doesn't matter now, does it? The result is obvious: the show got a lot of attention. CR is an integral part of anime distribution now, they are a partner in this business. With this stunt they made a delusioned segment of the fanbase very happy, but the backlash against that only helped the anime's visibility, and that's all thanks to you guys!

What's done is done, so yea no point in crying over spilt milk. Although there will be a sour after taste. And it does matter to a certain extent as the community now has to deal with an extra issue of misinformation when it really shouldn't have. The size or relevance of said misinformation is still up in the air I guess, but hopefully it will be more negligible than anything.

Well that's definitely news to me lol
Guess I wasn't around back in the day to really know for sure, but I guess with guys like Rukawa, Fujma, Hanagata, Sendou and Maki it doesn't sound too farfetched that a Fujoshi crowd latched on. EDIT: Well I'll be damned, it seems it was true lol http://www.punkednoodle.com/champloo...and-fujoshi-4/
