I've seen Japanese movies do it too. I believe the animated Yamato movie from 2009 did huge the first week or two (just behind the Haruhi movie and around or above the Nanoha movie) and then sort of dropped out of existance...until it starting appearing on the internet and then DVD/BR sales hit.

The thing is that the audience and habits are quite different in such hobby, moreso with popular franchise.
Ticket Prices and BD/DVD prices are quite different, leading to extremely different pattern in term of Movies remaining in the theaters or not (I really doubt you would expect movies to remain 6 months after its original release in theaters in the US for instance).

The main thing Westlo suggested that I was taking issue with, though, was not how well K-On would do in theaters, but how much it would effect the manga. In the case of K-On in particular, the latest K-On manga chapters have met with mixed fan reaction in Japan, from what I can recall reading online. This is due to content-based reasons pertaining to the manga narrative itself (Ithekro and I, amongst others, discussed this a bit on the K-On subforum itself, IIRC). I'm not sure why an animated K-On film would override that, when it will have entirely different content from the manga.

Altough if you actually want to sell anime, genre doesn't matter. Going by the best selling anime list you can get by with a hefty dose of either sexy moe, pretty bishonen or famous mecha, and some good production values. Story is optional. Last edited by Bri; 2011-10-03 at 13:45. |

There is a major issue: Producers and Sponsors are the major part of the production of an anime series.
Unless a studio was given complete control over a series, the said studio won't be able to do much if sponsors etc are against that. Pretty much the same than Mangaka with their editors.

I've repeatedly said that the K-On movie will do well, and be a success, but I've also said that assuming anything beyond that is presumptuous.
That is obviously not "unrealistically pessimistic expectations" on my part. It's simply being prudent and cautious, imo. Quote:

KyoAni seems incapable of doing more than a mere project or two per year, so they need to be very choosy about what they do, imo. Quote:

It's hard to tell with Japanese businesses. The dominance of personal networks and connections don't really help project transparancy. It's not like a random studio gets hired every time. The influence of the original creator and a projects director should not be underestimated. For example: Ishihara's connections at Visual Art's landed Kyoani the Key works. FMP's creator Shoji Gatoh requested for Kyoani to do further adaptions and has worked as a freelance writer for the studio. Both Gainax (Evangelion) and Sunrise (Zeta movies) have adapted production schedules to make sure Kyoto was available for subcontract work. Last edited by Bri; 2011-10-03 at 16:41. Reason: typos |

Well this likely seems like it won't be handled by KyoAni.
http://www.enterbrain.co.jp/fb/pc/02...p1-kokoro.html The animation in the PV itself doesn't scream KyoAni style. This one seems more likelier to be done by Horiguchi. |

I have two questions for the more knowledgeable people in this thread.
1. Is there anything to this "the next genre has mi" in it for KyoAni's next project? 2. When is KyoAni going to spill the beans about their next project? When the K-ON movie comes out? December 18th? Christmas? |
