Historically the best Noitamina shows are ones with multiple seasons (Nodame and H&C), or entirely original (Ano Hana, Tsuritama). Psycho Pass is original it seems, but then again its plot has a huge scope, and that takes more than 11-12 episodes to adequately explore IMO. Beyond the huge budget problems, scope is what killed shows like C. UN-GO to a lesser extent would have probably been even better with more episodes (It feels completely unfinished...).

The problem with using Sakamichi as an example is that it was never going to get multiple cours, not in a million years. MAPPA knew it would lose money and got the show made anyway, purely for artistic reasons. There are many shows like that, where it's one cour or nothing.

I'm not quite sure how that is a "problem" with the example. The reasons for the business decision aren't the point, I'm fully aware of its lack of commercial appeal, but the fact that what they attempted to do with the manga adaption was not entirely feasible. They even had one of the best directors (Shiniciro Watanabe) in the industry, which prevented it from being a disaster, but in the end it was merely a very enjoyable but ultimately flawed classic.
Essentially all I'm saying is that I believe the vision would have been realized with more cours. Whether or not the industry is willing to allocate the necessary resources is well not our prerogative of course. They're going to minimize loss, that's a given. I'm just evaluating the work they're giving us and I think from a story standpoint, more time is all that was needed. This is an artistic viewpoint, not a cynical businessman's viewpoint.

considering they've decided to make it 2 cours -__- I'm not really sure about that since even with low sales number, Blood-C still got a movie and I heard it was quite successful and in term of sales with 7-10k, GC cannot be considered total failure and it was quite popular with audience as well they might just decide to polish GC's potential with Urobuchi Gen's story and Amano's design not to mention that the hype for PP now remind me a lot of Hype for GC last year, if it's not even more let's just hope they won't end up the same well either it will turn out good or bad, we can see the result just in a few weeks

This kinda worries me, the females are unattractive and it's full of bishies...
Plus Production IG has been falling lately, even if Gen is here to the rescue. Noitamina is not the perfect timeslot for this kind of series, so as Robotic;Notes... Plus, two-cours is also not good for them, Remember what happened with G;C(PROD. IG ALSO) and shiki... Still, I salute them for experimenting... |

The ending theme is "Namae no nai Kaibutsu" (Monster without a name) by EGOIST. |

So please explain yourself better, I'm interested. What kind of timeslot correspond better to this kind of series ... and what so you mean by this "kind of series" anyway.
