Everytime there is a wall of anything on oricon, I just skip it.
That's exactly the issue at hand lol. It's not about a series putting all their volumes up there, it's about Oricon becoming useless because you have 2 series taking up over 80% of a top 50 chart and this will block a lot of series out of it. And that's for the paid one, the free one only goes up to the 30th place which is much worse.
Or has there simply been no drop, no screwed up and the series has already peaked beyond which it will not go?
To be honest, IMO, I did not see S4 providing any boosts solely because of the events at that point in the series were just meh. At this point, I just expect new seasons to help with stabilization of the sales. I don't foresee any growth.
If they get S6 just RIGHT, it’s entirely possible we could see a second wave of boost for the series. But I don’t have much faith in the guy at the top.
I really just think that we've hit a peak, regardless of quality. I really don't think that the quality of either the production or the manga itself is the major cause for high sales. But, who knows, really? Maybe this 5th season will boose HeroAca's numbers to new heights that we didn't think were possible, maybe it won't. I hope for the former, but I'm prepared for the latter.
That's why I said there needs to be a backlog Oricon. Just use a * to mark the 50 different series normal Oricon which would have been usually hold by a backlog and then have a link to said backlog ranking. They will not do that though, because waste of money because at some point in the future neither series will hug all top50 spots anymore.
But really they are two very popular arc .....
Again, but what do you mean? Was the fourth season badly done? And who says it?
But why this spasmodic need to increase sales when the series is already selling a lot?
Here's the problem with that... when will that happen?
Wait, what? Did they cancel the release? I haven’t seen it, even though I’m sure I saw it being released in November somewhere around here.
Same. I just hope the OG staff come back for that season. Unless someone better comes along. I hear Hitomi Odashima’s good, and someone to keep an eye on. All I do remember is that there was a female director on the episode that covered the training segment at the camp in S3, and I remember the glowing reviews for her.
I definitely agree that Season 4 has a big drop in quality compared to other seasons. The one Negative to long runners is that if they run too long the same staff doesn’t stay forever. Unlike the original mangaka, the director’s and animators likely don’t want to spend 10-15 years working on a single series. So when the series start and gets a fantastic, or notable director, that director isn’t likely to stay more than maybe a season or 2
As far as I know, Nagasaki left the tv series so he could focus on the movie projects from here on. Same goes for Umakoshi, with occasional involvement in some episodes. Speaking of long-runners, Mukai rather happily admitted that he’s a fan of long-runners, and thinks MHA should’ve been one. Ugh. Just thinking about that gives me the willies in my stomach. With that kind of “old-school” thinking, it’s no surprise you get the feeling the direction of S4 being very conservative.
You're thinking of Rie Matsumoto I think, still surprised that episode even happened. That being said I don't think she'll do more for the franchise, her last few projects have been really cool music videos, and the rumor has been for years that she'll do a movie but who knows at this point. Point being I think she's probably done with franchise tv anime.
