blessed day Today Monday, 96 since returning from the blog. Sorry, but the holidays have passed through there. And lazy too. Finally it does not matter, resume, and find that once again things have not changed much here, and I'll tell you about a topic that you do not know, unless you are an otaku at the forefront of the latest releases anime.
If you are, then you have obviously heard the wave of the arc Endless Eight Series Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya . But first send us a fortiori to those who are not. We will see step by step, how to sell a series in 8 episodes producing exactly the same as the Endless Eight, a time when the bad buzz about a brand is the phobia of all businesses.
First, "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" behind the long title and not enticing takes an anime that goes unnoticed in our countries where French is still believed that Naruto is what it does best in anime (Deliver us from evil ...), but in Japan it is a success totally crazy, which is even considered the last major impact of Japanese animation. I want to say yes, but still not good. Haruhi, for short, is a sort of anime mixed with SF unlikely an anime-type slice of school life. " Apart from that there are no monsters or bad, or quests, or adventures, just one of the most improbable story in a club of "friends" formed par la force des choses, ou plutôt par la force d'une héroïne insupportable répondant au doux nom de Haruhi Suzumiya.
Oui, ce n'est ni la vraie héroïne, ni la méchante, mais c'est quand même la cause de tout, elle fait chier littéralement son monde, n'écoute jamais la voix de la raison et ne pense qu'à ses petits caprices. Regarder les personnages subir ses folies est assez drôle, néanmoins vous aurez vraiment envie de la tuer quand elle vous causera des ennuis vous. Oui vous, qui me regarder avec vos sourcils froncés. Mais soyons honnêtes, dire que c'est la faute à Haruhi serait trop simple, oulah yes. The real culprits, not fictitious massacre Endless Eight, what are the producers of the series, namely Kadokawa Shoten, and those who have made, yes I blame the executioner if I want to know Kyoto Animation.
Debunking the context, so imagine Haruhi Suzumiya, a series that made a huge cardboard in his first season consists of 14 episodes and then finally, for reasons that remain unknown, choose not to ride this wave and wait three years before leaving a season 2. Three years of feverish fans who waited for this season 2. And of course, producers are assholes teases like you have dirty in 2007 by putting weird videos announcing the first episode of season 2. Who came out two years later. Imagine the level of excitement. Now you must know that as the anime is adapted from a novel, some otakus knew roughly what to expect. Or rather, thought they knew. Speculation was rife when the episodes that would be suitable. No forward-looking proved accurate. Nobody, even those who knew the novel, could not have foreseen the horror that was coming. One day, Kadokawa Shoten said they would do a re-release of the series, and an error in made the announcement that fans doubted there would be season 2. Because yes, I remember Kadokawa Shoten are assholes, they do not even say when the season 2 will happen. So overjoyed fan, watching a first episode of this season, really great, and then the second, frankly bof, where nothing happens. Then in episode 2 we vaguely understand why nothing happened, except horror, the episode after is the same. No, they did not broadcast 2 times the same episode, but have actually made , animated, dubbed 8 episodes where the action and the scenario were identical at all points except des plans et des vêtements des personnages . Il ne s'agit donc même pas d'une boucle façon "Le jour sans fin" le film avec Bill Murray.
Si vous connaissez la colère d'un otaku mécontent, alors vous imaginez le tableau. Sinon, vous pouvez regarder cette vidéo . Ou regardez le résumé en 36 secondes à votre gauche 15 498 fois. Même si cette boucle est justifiée scénaristiquement, elle plonge dans l'effroi le fan, qui lui ignore à ce moment que ça s'arrêtera au bout de 8 épisodes , et craint que tout le reste de la saison 2 ne sera que Endless Eight, and sees the same scroll episodes from week to week, more and more jaded. When the episode 8 is out, nobody could believe it, then when the end came, at last, there was a flood of "OUAIIIIIIIS! FINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IT! ENFIIIIN! ... Wait, is everything? "
Artistically, in terms of scenario, what justifies the creation of these 8 episodes are identical? Nothing. Even if you get bored with all the characters, which creates an interesting setting in abyss, 8 episodes, it was not necessary. Even Hitler agrees with me. So in conclusion what? Nevertheless, there is the question. Even if the season has ended with two interesting episodes that do not catch indeed the trouble caused by the arc Endless Eight. The question is how would they well sell identical 8 episodes on DVD? important thing to know is that if in France the average Kikoolol found a box full of 30 € is too expensive and prefer to download the series he loves, so called, and many DVDs are in Japan sold individually, and each DVD contains ... 2 episodes. So 4 DVDs for Endless Eight. Nobody could believe it, but yet so, they have sold . Each DVD was in the top 5 best selling anime of the week, even if sales fall short of the usual series. For me, the experience is conclusive. A fan follows the series no matter what, even if one may ask something of interest, which is pretty dumb to watch 8 episodes and buy identical, the fact is there, no doubt, true, and it works.
But the funny thing is not there yet. Even if fans were between "Oh damn they are inflated, but still strong" and "What the foutage of mouth?" Kadokawa Shoten has reversed steam, announcing not that there will be a season 3, even the 4th novel would be adapted into a feature film anime Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. And then, joy in the house, fireworks and tears of emotion. Another victory duck, which fills the expectations of the fan could not be better. Endless Eight? Forgotten, given the rank of "Ahah yes what was it con anyway."
And finally? In Kadokawa Shoten, it is completely tainted, even if in fact everything was certainly thoroughly thought out, and they knew that if Endless Eight would not work, the announcement of the film would warm the hearts of otaku. Nevertheless it a huge risk, and they are not at their first attempt at viral marketing. Because ultimately that's it, they understood that whatever we say good or bad about a product, the important thing is that we talk about . Fan anyway Endless Eight is harmless, the series has managed to create a buzz in the western otaku-sphere, but especially in Japan. And anyway, as stated on his blog Kabu, what you think of Endless Eight, you're a moron.
a time when we caress the fan in the direction of hair growth in outputs and easy adjustments without taking risks as artistic Harry Potter and Twilight, Haruhi Suzumiya shows that a little titillating fan, one can arrive at a phenomenal success. Admittedly, the series crossed and conducted by a heroin puffy and swollen, lent itself to this game of cat and mouse with the viewer. But as a fan, or just geek or otaku, it begs the question.
How much I want to be surprised?

And that Nagato Yuki who would like to know the answer to this question.
Music Week: Good as I had to embed for better or worse a Youtube video. Well this week, even being otaku, a Japanese show as much. While it is clear, I am totally impervious to the J-Pop, but when I hear I My Me Mine Polysics of a sort of group New Wave, Pop and Rock, I just want to shaking his head like a crazy. Basically, it gives fishing.
PS: I want to thank site Haruhi.fr to discover the series but also host most of the images and videos used in this note.
