[QUOTE=Wizards Court;41657483]because of how she acts, her antics, and the situations the anime puts her, constantly derides the idea of a ridiculously buxom sorcerer. she is one of the funniest part of the slayers.[/QUOTE] she is literally identical to every other beautiful and nice women you see so much in japanese media, there is no difference, this isn't caricature.
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;41657499]I'm not here to explain the economics of anime, nor the boons that having an audience of dedicated otaku grants. Queens Blade caters to a niche. A niche with money, but a niche nonetheless. And yeah, well accepted? No. Not even close.[/quote] yeah it is actually, otherwise they wouldn't even be making MMOs, and planning even more seasons, you don't get that kinda of money without a sizable audience. but anyway here is a more mainstream one, sword art online [IMG]http://blog.draggle.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/sao_18_6.png[/IMG] not as big as sorcerer's, but still huge. [editline]31st July 2013[/editline] [quote]You could fit the sorceress's head into her tits five times over with room to spare. That isn't "close".[/QUOTE] thats an exageration man, her head isn't that small. [QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;41657512]she is literally identical to every other beautiful and nice women you see so much in japanese media, there is no difference, this isn't caricature.[/QUOTE] you left out the acting part, which is the main part of a parody, naga acts like a parody, sorcerer doesn't. [QUOTE=RikohZX;41657510]What the fuck is going on in this thread Did it really get derailed from sales numbers to Japan having gender inequality in their artwork when not only does it happen all across the world, but plenty of female artists over there do so voluntarily?[/QUOTE] we're massively bored here, join us, or run while you still can :v:
merchandising something doesn't mean it's massively popular. [b]ESSPECIALLY[/b] when that merchandising is an MMO.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;41657522]merchandising something doesn't mean it's massively popular. [b]ESSPECIALLY[/b] when that merchandising is an MMO.[/QUOTE] the MMO is just a small part through, queen's blade isn't as small as you or scorpio are trying to make.
[QUOTE=Wizards Court;41657517] you left out the acting part, which is the main part of a parody, naga acts like a parody, sorcerer doesn't.[/QUOTE] i haven't seen much about how this game tells its story, but if it is as character-development light as i think it might be, all of the parody has to be in the looks.
[QUOTE=Wizards Court;41657526]the MMO is just a small part through, queen's blade isn't as small as you or scorpio are trying to make.[/QUOTE] could it be smaller than you're trying to make it?
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;41657536]could it be smaller than you're trying to make it?[/QUOTE] i didn't said it was the next k-on! only that is popular. [QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;41657535]i haven't seen much about how this game tells its story, but if it is as character-development light as i think it might be, all of the parody has to be in the looks.[/QUOTE] the game does have a story through, and she pretty much acts in a generic manner.
[QUOTE=Wizards Court;41657541]i didn't said it was the next k-on! only that is popular.[/QUOTE] but it could be less popular than you're making it unless you yourself are a marketing exec your perception of that product/brand really isn't complete enough to make me confident that when you say Queen's Blade is just that popular that you're right

[QUOTE=Wizards Court;41657517]yeah it is actually, otherwise they wouldn't even be making MMOs, and planning even more seasons, you don't get that kinda of money without a sizable audience.[/QUOTE] Skeezy anime is usually low budget outsourced crap. You don't need a huge return to be able to make more. Also the MMO (which bombed) is completely unrelated and had to be renamed in the west to prevent confusion.

[QUOTE=Aredbomb;41657559]Skeezy anime is usually low budget outsourced crap. You don't need a huge return to be able to make more.[/quote] the anime was considered to have very good best animators, it wasn't low budget.

So, it doesn't further your argument how you wish it would.

The fuck is wrong with you guys, 3 pages of arguing over tits, christ.
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;41657570]Even when it's well done production wise you still get the income from all of your body pillow figurine special DVD/BR box set collectible card game buying fans.[/QUOTE] there aren't that many people who buy body pillows or figurines, that kind of otaku isn't as common as the west thinks it is. [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;41657566]It doesn't look like the sorceress. So, it doesn't further your argument how you wish it would.[/QUOTE] that doesn't make any sense, sword art online its part of the same fantasy tropes the sorcerer belongs to. [QUOTE=Chrisholl;41657580]The fuck is wrong with you guys, 3 pages of arguing over tits, christ.[/QUOTE] we're fucking bored, but yeah, i think we argued enough lol.

That characters rack is the exception in that show, not the norm.
why would you want to watch that garbage anyway more like sword fart offline
yo i just realized that it's nearly 1 in the morning and i'm talking about anime boobs. i try to do that only once a week but i did that last night so i'm heading to bed. peace ya'll
[QUOTE=Banned?;41657588]Have you even watched SAO or are you just googling for examples? That characters rack is the exception in that show, not the norm.[/QUOTE] i watched some episodes, but she still fits anyway.
it's like we're just arguing your opinion being factually right or wrong this is pointless and will never go anywhere.
[QUOTE=Wizards Court;41657564]the anime was considered to have very good best animators, it wasn't low budget.[/QUOTE] Ohhhh no you don't. Don't you even [I]try[/I] motherfucker. This is top tier animation [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDGkAoW2LrE[/media] THIS is fucking TIP top animation [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3-gDtKO904[/media] Queens Blade is not a hair on the ass of what the "best" animators in japan produce.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;41657609]it's like we're just arguing your opinion being factually right or wrong this is pointless and will never go anywhere.[/QUOTE] trust me all arguments about anime boobs go like this
[QUOTE=Wizards Court;41657603]i watched some episodes, but she still fits anyway.[/QUOTE] "some episodes" You know that character isn't around until the last 1/4 of the show, right? You'd need to watch a little more than "some episodes". Do you even know how to argue? You need to have a clue as to what you're talking about first.
[QUOTE=Wizards Court;41657581]there aren't that many people who buy body pillows or figurines, that kind of otaku isn't as common as the west thinks it is.[/QUOTE] No, there actually are. Quite a lot, in fact. Queen's Blade is ironically enough the proof of that.

[QUOTE=Wizards Court;41657564] the anime was considered to have very good best animators, it wasn't low budget.[/QUOTE] If you consider Queen's Blade to have "good animation" than you have no idea what you're talking about.

Queen's Blade is ironically enough the proof of that.[/QUOTE] There's also the fact that the industry itself has to rely on this hardcore niche fanbase which is why a lot of shows tend to pander real hard to certain audiences
[QUOTE=Wizards Court;41657628]these are movies, of course movies will have better animation than an anime with a shitload of episodes. also is that first movie from gonzo? style resembles it.[/QUOTE] 1. Neither of those are movies. 2. Give me a time, what kind of content you want me to pull from, and I'll give you a goddamn specified personalized list of amazing animation if that's what you need. 3. It's Takeshi Koike you doof.
