My Animation Era

During the first lunar month, Wanbao Video.

A romantic comedy animation called "How to Raise a Passerby Heroine" was quietly launched on the website for broadcast.

At first, no one cared.

After all, Wanbao Video website will introduce a large number of animation works from Neon, Europe and the United States every once in a while, including many romantic comedies of the same type, which everyone is tired of watching.

The title of the heroine is a passerby, combined with the PV trailer of a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and everyone knows that this is the most common campus love comedy theme of neon animation.

To be fair, what's there to see?

The first time you watch it, it's a fresh picture. The second, third or even the nth time you watch it, it's just looking for abuse.

After all, this type of campus love animation is too homogeneous.

This is just like the online novels that are overflowing with novices. When you read a novel of the "Immortal Emperor Reborn in the City" genre for the first time, you may find it exciting and enjoyable.

But after reading too many novels with titles like "The Rebirth of the Immortal Emperor" and "The Immortal Emperor's City Tour", few people would be willing to click on them.

The passerby heroine also encountered this situation at the beginning.

There are too many romantic comedy animations, which are comparable to reincarnation in another world. This cliché theme cannot arouse everyone's interest.

In fact, everyone didn't notice at first that the animation "How to Raise a Passerby Heroine" was actually produced by Wanbao, and they thought it was another piece of shit created by some small neon workshop!

Do not misunderstand!

This is not an AOE map cannon...

Mainly those who make romantic comedies, and those who make reincarnations in other worlds, most of them are from Neon, so everyone has formed this stereotype.

Domestic animation manufacturer?

To tell whether a new animation is produced by a domestic manufacturer, the method is very simple. Just look at whether the animation is an "adaptation of a web text".

If a light novel is adapted from a manga, it will most likely come from neon Europe and the United States. If it is adapted from an online novel or it is original, then it may be a domestic animation.

The title of "How to Raise a Passerby Heroine" is too long, and the title is also very "light novel-like", giving people the impression that it is a "neon toilet paper version" romantic comedy.

Not an ideal start.

Because people are deeply prejudiced against the proliferation of romantic comedy animations, "How to Raise a Passerby Heroine" did not have a high number of views at the beginning.

It wasn't until almost two weeks after the update, when the fourth episode of the animation was aired, that the number of views began to increase slightly.

What?

A big bang right from the start?

This is not an animation work like "Bear Bears" that is suitable for all ages.

The audience who likes to watch this kind of romantic comedy animation is limited to the group of young otakus and otakus aged 16-26. The range is so wide, how can it become popular as soon as it comes out?

The accumulation of popularity takes time.

This time may be a month, it may be two months or even longer.

Anyway, in Gu Miao's opinion, when the passerby heroine will become popular and become popular in the small circle of 2D, it depends on when outsiders hear the three terms "Ying Lili, Saint Hui and Senior Sister".

At present, there is already this trend.

The reputation of the heroine of the animation "Passenger" is already very good among the many similar animations adapted from toilet paper.

Not to mention, the characters of the main heroines such as Eiri, Megumi Sage and Senpai are all so attractive.

Therefore, this animation has begun to accumulate a lot of popularity and popularity among two-dimensional otakus and otakus. You can even see the characters of Eiri, Megumi and Senpai in some fan works or comic exhibition cosplays. Show up.

This is a good sign!

Some people are willing to cosplay characters in animations, and some are willing to publish fan works on their own. This shows that the influence of animation has begun to spread outwards.

When this influence spreads to a certain extent, the animation's broadcast volume should increase significantly until it becomes a new hegemonic series.

But then again...

Although the start of the passerby heroine is not ideal, it still depends on who she is competing with.

The total views of the first four episodes exceeded 120 million, and the average number of views per episode exceeded 30 million. When placed on the Wanbao Video website, it is already one of the best animation works of its kind.

It's just not comparable to the "Date A Live" back then.

Battle is not an ordinary animation.

Although few people outside the industry have heard of this animation, in the minds of animation fans, especially harem animation fans, this is an undoubted masterpiece.

Even though it has been almost two years since the first season ended, the animation's viewing volume continues to increase, and the increase is quite astonishing.

Gu Miao didn't know that there were dozens of people watching the first season of "Date A Live" at three or four in the morning. Who were these dozens of people?

“There are too few harem anime!”

"I mean, it's the kind of anime that really opens up a harem, not the kind of headline-grabbing show that uses a harem label to play around with pure love."

Hou Bin has obviously suffered this kind of loss, so he is extremely disgusted with the kind of harem animation that sells dogs over others.

In his words, the reason why many people are still revisiting the first season of Date: On the one hand is that it is classic enough to watch, and on the other hand it is also because there are too few works of the same type.

So, why doesn’t Wanbao get a second season?

"What are you looking at me for?"

Gu Miao felt uncomfortable being stared at by Hou Bin's resentful eyes, and quickly explained: "It's not that I don't want to do the second season, it's obviously that Seto himself didn't find a suitable supervisor."

"Ah? Where is the original supervisor?"

"He ran away early!"

Gu Miao shook her head and said, "Not long after that guy finished the first season, he submitted his resignation to work on Galgame."

This is also the reason why the second season of the show is difficult to produce.

The original supervisor ran away to start a business making some pretty girl games. The supervisor just ran away, and he also tricked a group of core members of the original "Date A Live" project team away...

There was nothing Seto could do.

After all, Date to Fight is a pretty famous animated series, so you can’t just recruit people and make it work, right? Then you can't just mess it up?

As for drawing manpower from other production teams, it is also unrealistic!

After all, which one of the "Sailor Moon", "Pretty Cure" and "Dragon Ball" series is not more important than a fight? There is no point in picking up sesame seeds after losing the watermelon!

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry yet!"

"Seto has found a suitable supervisor and an outsourcing company. I believe that the second season of The Battle will be available to you soon..."

"Outsourcing?"

Hearing this word, Hou Bin subconsciously raised his eyebrows and said: "Is that company reliable? Don't encounter any unreliable company and make a defense for the second season."

"How do I know if it's reliable?"

Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said, "The outsourcing company Seto is looking for, let's trust him for the time being!"

With Seto's reliability, there shouldn't be any problems, right? Thinking of the original version of Gu Miao, I suddenly lost my confidence.

Put some incense on AIC, do you understand the value of changing three production companies for the three seasons of animation...
