If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.ggFor currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net |
Yeah the anime really bombed in JP and didn't sell at all, so not really suprrised to be honest. As popular as it was over here or in the US, we don't tend to buy 12 episodes of anime for 300$ that quite possibly might still be region blocked if you're from the EU (srsly I've tried looking this up and found all kinds of different statements from yes, to no, to maybe including amazon not being sure themselves...)
Glad he at least knows that it was really popular overseas

You see, the editor came to me last week and informed myself to increase the popularity of Keijo!!! This is not something you can do overnight. I was lost for words, as I believed we were doing fine in rankings. Today, I was informed by my editor that my manga is being removed due to the poor reception of the anime. The anime failed to make an impact, for advertising purposes, and the studio is carrying that loss because of it. It is my fault, and I am sorry. The source material should have been better and I've done a great burden. I was actually very surprised by the reception overseas. In various conversations, I was told it was greatly talked about in America. I'm glad some of you enjoyed it, but I'm sorry once again for failing. My sincerely apologies to Takahashi-san and XEBEC. Bit strange to axe the manga because the anime flopped, the manga was doing OK afaik, nothing amazing but not poorly either didn't realize it flopped that badly in Jap, rough. Gotta feel bad for the author.

Disregard the quote i posted, supposedly a fabricated quote. Or rather, i am not sure if it's fake or real at this point.

I mean, there is none, it was from 4chan and someone claimed it was from the author's blog but now people are saying that it's not on the author's blog, so it's probably fake, but it seems like a weird thing to fake which makes me confused. So yeah, it's probably fake, but i don't know.
Also i'll use this as a place to say that sales are hardly an indicator of the quality of a show.

mmmh, this looks like the blog from the guy, doesn't it? http://ameblo.jp/kokage2010/
No message like the one on the last page, in fact the last post from 29th of march is about the new vol of the manga being out for sale and the 5th BD of the anime being for sale.
idk if he has other platforms on which he writes, I don't follow him but that's what wikipedia had on him

It does sound a little like some manga fan that hates manga/anime industry would write. Canned due to anime sales, putting blame on author, one week notice of upping popularity, putting blame on author, happy some people liked it, sorry he let people down etc.
If that's real the industry sucks even more giant dick than I thought. It's a pity but understandable. If it's not some harem show either romcom or battle harem or some yaoi bait or idol show seems like you can't get sales

Garbage recycled harem romcom sol anime just keeps getting more and more popular, and then something as great as Keijo gets axed. Proof that Elevens have shit taste.

Without exaggerating I actually enjoyed Keijo as much as I enjoyed One punch man and I enjoyed opm a lot.

+ Show Spoiler [SnB: Virgin soul ep. 03] +Fucking cliffhangers man.
So Favaro is Nina's mentor, kinda expected something like that. I hope he comes back soon, it's just not the same without his stupid afro mullet.
Also looks like Rita's pet hand being Kaisar's severed hand is confirmed now.

Keijo was pretty bad so I'm not sad it got axed. However, there is much worse stuff out there that doesn't get axed so it doesn't make much sense to me.

+ Show Spoiler +Agreed. Although I'm not sure about when we are going to see Favaro.
About the cliffhangers: It's a bit annoying indeed. The episodes are good so far but I'm not that invested right now that care too much. That might change though if the show keeps it up. If that happens I'm probably going to put it on hold and watch it once it's done.
