How powerful is 2ch.net when it comes to the influence on the anime industry?
Go ask >>>/b/
One of gainax's founders have to left the company because he insulted 2ch.
>>69797923Not OP, but you're a moron. and a filthy namefagThis thread is relevant to my interests. My guess would be that 2ch has a significant impact on what shows get produced, because that is often determined by BD and DVD sales, and Japanese otaku will be lurking their equivalent of /a/ to find out what everyone else is watching.
>>69799207Did you just enter /a/? Never write a serious reply to krony.
>>69799163Anyone got more on this story? Gainax is all but disbanded now, but I would still be interested to find out who had to leave.
>>69799163That is some shitty english. Did you come straight from 2ch?
>>69799223The serious part was aimed at OP. And I don't usually keep track of the scum on this board.
>>69799240I'm pretty sure the guy left because everyone pointed out how shit episode 4 of Gurren Lagann was.
Someone admitted that they have employees monitoring the threads to see people's reactions. Then, there are tons of various buyfags, so I'd say pretty powerful.On the other hand, there are many cases when some shows were popular and heavily discussed on 2ch, but sold rather bad. Or at least in BD\DVD department.
>>69799324Oh god, could you imagine if they were monitoring /a/? If they paid attention to the amount of trolls calling everything under the sun shit, the anime industry would just be shut down and everyone would start looking for new jobs.
>>69797761I remember reading somewhere that they were viraling Madoka there.
Do they even buy anime?
>>697991632ch get out.>>69799502l0l evry1 is a trol XDDDDDD
>>69799502Well, 2ch has much less trolling in its thematic boards, so can actually have decent anime discussions and opinions.

>>69799287Actually I think it was a Gainax producer or something that said something along the lines of "it felt like putting my nose next to an anus and inhaling deeply", and that's why he had to resign.
>>69799559You tell me.
>2chit's 20 fucking 12 and people still do not know the difference between 2ch and futaba. Get your shit together /a/.
>>69799812What are you on about? We're talking about 2ch in this thread.
>>697998252ch does not care that much about anime.
>>69799863God, you stupid.
>>69799863You obviously have never been to 2ch anime board.
>>69799953>>69799972Considering how otaku are viewed there and that 2ch is a more for average people I don't see why their opinion on anime would make that big a difference.
>>69800038You don't what you're talking about, so just stop.
>>69800074Are you going to actually say why or just pretend that your opinions are facts?
>>69799863Yes, that's why they have 15 anime only boards.
>>69800038>2ch is a more for average peopleYup, this ad banner looks like it's for normalfags.
>>69800119I haven't looked at their boards recently, (being there's hundreds of them after all) are you sure you're not thinking of Futaba? because they have a similar number.
>>69799863
>>69800168>3DPDnormalfag material all right
>>69800168>porn ads are strangeyou haven't been on the internet long have you?
>>69800038>Considering how otaku are viewed there and that 2ch is a more for average peopleOtaku boards for otakus, normal boards for normalfags.Why is ist so hard for /a/ to understand this extremely simple concept. There is always some idiot who thinks that 2ch is normalfag exclusive when every fucking Japanese is on there including the sickest perverts and turbonerds.
>>69799863http://toro.2ch.net/anime/http://ikura.2ch.net/anime2/Every live watch thread on live boards has 5-15 threads with 1000 replies depending on the show.
>>69800253Because websites that cater to normal people tend to be boring and dull. Granted I'm not Japanese so it may be different there.
>>69800285Numbers in the thread titles are the number of previous threads. Each thread is ~1000 replies.
>>69799589Why the hell would you bother to write a blog-post if all you have to say is "both sides are dumb" when you clearly can't explain what each side is saying, what they are arguing about, or how they are going about it?
>>69800285How does it stay better than English /a/, despite being so much bigger?
>>69800811Because dedicated anti-thread
>>69800811People post on topic. Mostly ignore trolls and haters, avid haters can vent in the special hate threads for each show.Granted, mixed boards or threads can be pretty shitty too.
>>69800811They don't let Americans post.
>>69799767>Horizon>Strike BitchesWhy do you fucking support shit series?
>>69801014> special hate threads We need it
>>69801234We have them. What we need is threads with actual fans of a given show.
>>69801278We have those. What we need is less shitposting.
>>69801227It's just a pic from buyfag threads on 2ch.
