Jk, I haven't seen that one. It's one of the ones that I dropped due to time limit.

Danjo is giving me Our Dating Story anime flashback Lmao.

Haven't watched that one but for me it's just giving generic romcom vibes. Maybe a bit of Oreshura I guess

 

[AL sama]

Danjo >>>

are you being serious??

Jk, I haven't seen that one. It's one of the ones that I dropped due to time limit.

[Mashiro Blue]

No xD

Kowloon for example is way better than Danjo

Japanese have no standards smh.

 

[Mashiro Blue]

Yup. I do enjoy some generic romcom but can't say they're that good.

btw apparently TBATE is somehow doing extremely well in Japan

Really??

I wouldn't have guessed lol if it's doing well with that subpar adaptation then if it actually got a decent treatment it would blow everything off the charts.

I can't confirm but

Streaming Numbers Tell a Different Story in Japan
Despite complaints abroad, Japanese viewership data tells a very different story:

• On Netflix Japan, TBATE has been the third most-watched currently airing anime for three weeks straight, only behind One Piece and Fire Force.
• On d Anime Store, which caters to dedicated anime fans, it ranks #2, with only The Apothecary Diaries ahead.
• On ABEMA, a major simulcast platform, it holds the same position, #2.
• On Amazon Prime Video Japan, it’s currently the ninth most-viewed show overall, across all genres.

From some website

And checking Abema it's actually ranked 7th right now

that's insanity

 

[Mashiro Blue]

that's insanity

Definitely.

But if in the future that translates to a better adaptation done by a better studio then we're in for a treat.

Definitely.

if this does well then chances are it will get the same treatment in the future or worse

why waste more money and resources when people are happy with our current product??

Yea if TBATE is doing well in Japanese TV streaming broadcasts, it's gonna get even worse. A Cat and Crunchyroll will took advantage of this and create more sequels of the same quality treatment as they have now.

Aniplex can't do anything about it since they didn't take ownership of TBATE before CR does.

the author chose "A Cat" cause its a new and small studio

so the poor guy thought that A Cat will give their very best for this project

 

[Mashiro Blue]

That reminded me that TBATE webcomic came back from its 3 or so year hiatus. Time to catch up to it.

As for the anime, I guess there's no hope.

To be fair, TurtleMe got finessed into it. I also blamed it on Crunchyroll and Tapis/Tapus or whatever they are for recommending A Cat of all the studios on the list.

And what's even worse is that the author of TBATE, has to go to Reddit and defend the anime personally. Reddit of all places btw.

And from his post, it doesn't seem like he's actually genuine which is honestly sad and depressing.
