I know, right? I mean all this talk about how Shaft is taking their sweet ass time to create an episode and yet they still some how screw in some way....I mean I'm a very realized person here and I think sales speaks all. This series sells big and that is all there is to it, and it's not like we can complain especially when the economy is not exactly giving us a lot of space to move. All I can say is a series sells because it appeals to people and when a series appeals to people.....IT MEANS ITS GOOD! Shaft clearly knows what they doing and I will continue to expect great things from them as I always have been for the past 3 years.

[sarcasm] I guess that there are some people who expect only an Oscar candidate series to sell well. That's why they are so disappoint that this series is too successful. [/sarcasm]

All popular works get criticism (loltwilight). I think they're merely discussing what they think of the characters. While I totally disagree with the aforementioned criticisms, but I still think there valid points about Hitagi's character type.
Though playing the "cliche" card is kinda dangerous in discussion ... I could always say Iketeru Futari's main is awesome, but all the girls after her is cliche tsunderes =(. In anime, you will have a hard time finding the origination of character types, which would be going back way far and those would be the "un-cliche" ones. However, characters types are evolutionary by inherent basis, hence what I believe to be able to call a character cliche is when she follows the character basic definition to the core with absolutely zero extra qualities to her, which is actually really, really hard to do. Everyone in Bake has extreme personalities with soft moments, so I wouldn't call any of them cliche. |

Well, from an extremely technical standpoint, it's not the character itself that's cliche, but the situation they're in.
Of course this may lead to complicated, and often damaging, simplifications of what builds a character, but it can be said that any cliche archetype that's placed in an unorthodox situation isn't cliche. That's the case with Bakemonogatari's characters, in my opinion. The argument that the first character in existence in a certain archetype isn't cliche is wrong, I think. Again, bearing in mind that it's the situation that makes something cliche, rather than the characters themselves, anything that's predictable is technically a cliche. K-on!, Clannad, Shakugan no Shana. Three series of the most cliche you can find, but the characters aren't particularly underdesigned or anything. On the other hand, for example, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann pics up all the mecha cliches and joins them in a totally non-cliche, yet cliche-filled show (I mean, I've never seen anything like that...). Despite the situations themselves being cliche. That's why I think it's not a good approach to criticize something for being unimaginative just because of one particular point. We'll end up oversimplifying everything. Ah... Moo shira nai yo. |

well...not quite over 50,000...I guess DVD 4's sales were due to almost entirely revamped animation...and Nadeko...
Also...I'm not entirely sure where this should go, because it's stuff that Kamiya Hiroshi and Hanaeawa Kana talked about in the 4th atogatari... They mention that the recording of the drama cd was the only time that all cast members were gathered together in the same place, so...maybe we won't get to hear Hirano Aya voicing Shinobu for the series proper? On the other hand, given that there are no more previews, Karen and Tsukihi shouldn't be appearing in the finale...? Oh, and this is also interesting. They also discuss favourite heroines...and from a female point of view (i.e. Kana-chan's), Hitagi tends to be the favourite. However, from a male point of view...it's Tsubasa!!

The way Kamiyan puts it suggests that it has a lot to do with the cat...but he doesn't elaborate. (It is, after all, the Nadeko Snake atogatari - they got on that topic when Kamiyan mentioned that Nadeko is the girl in the cast that one would want to protect.) We might find out after episode 15...or perhaps you could ask relevant people in the novels thread...?
