Selling about 40k (or even lower) is usually a cut-line where you call it 'popular manga' and get an animation ._. I wonder why people say Medaka Box is bad.

That's how you get a (playful at mildest) parody of eroge adaptations and "cute girl" anime turned into a near textbook example.

That's where specific animation directions and editing comes into the play. Camera Angles, music, style of drawing; all of those seems to be just thrown everywhere without much considerations.
