Konosuba season 3.

>>797474

Pretty sure that's the publisher's decision.

>>797482

The allowed two seasons that sold rather well and a Vita/PS4 game that sold average for a console vn, why would they be against a third season?

>>797510

They can do it like Haruhi S3 and make it into a pachinko machine.

>>797522

Is it bad that I like recap movies so that I can watch them with my mother and father, both of whom I watched Jojo and Spice and Wolf with? I'm very close with my parents.

>>797525

>Inio Asano

DDDD is getting an adaptation.

>>797530

I watched Phantom Blood and Battle Tendencies with my dad. He quit at Stardust Crusader cause he said it was gay. I watched Non Non Biyori and Mushashi with my mom. Hell my mom has the complete set of Nichijou tanks and a nendroid collection of all the Non Nons.

>>797544

>Non Non Biyori with my mom.

This sounds really comfy.

>>797527

I tried watching Jojo in the same room as my family. That was the day I was watching the "Polnareff gets turned into baby" episode. I don't know how you little girls do it.

>>797545

I'm not the anon, but he says this because an all CGI, short Autodesk clip of DDDD was reposted by Inio on his Twatter and by some other dude.

>>797545

Mamoru Nagano. But to be fair he did have the idea of making one of The Five Star Stories, but that didn't pan out. His "latest" work, ie Gothicmade, was even more of a crap-shoot and now he's reeling from its failure by merging it with FSS.

>>797479

>After the utter shit adaptation of Azumanga Daioh

How was it utter shit though? Isn't it just him that thinks it's shit?

I think it's just Azuma obsessing over what he could've done better and calling his finished work bad. If the author has regrets about his past work, it doesn't really take anything away from the enjoyment people can still get.

>>797544

>He quit at Stardust Crusader cause he said it was gay

You should listen to the wisdom of your elders Anon, for they have better taste than you.

>>797756

>Stardust Crusaders.

>Gay.

What's it like having shit taste?

>>797756

>>797761

I wasn't aware that homosexuality was a matter of taste.

Is this how you straighten out your appetite for dicks?

>>797701

The anime looked quite bad for a 2002 anime.

The animation was extremly limited, the directing was bland and even some Seiyuu felt off.

It's true that the anime was popular in Japan, but I understand why Azuma doesn't want an Yotsubato adaptation.

>>797769

But given his reputation, shouldn't his decision have some weight when it comes to choosing a studio and a director?

When I watched Imouto sae Ireba Ii I found it strange, almost alienating when upon the news of an anime adaptation the LN authors didn't immediately ask "Who do you have in mind?"

Written by an actual LN author, it's almost like they either don't care or have no say at all in the decision.

>>797776

Authors do have quite a lot of power regarding adaptations of their work.

But the reality is that anime schedules are very strict and there isn't a lot of time for corrections.

In many cases the studio/author will be forced to accept a flawed adaptation.

>But given his reputation, shouldn't his decision have some weight when it comes to choosing a studio and a director?

He does, but anime adaptations are always a risk.

This would also require lots of work on Azuma's part. He might just not want to deal with the additional workload of being involved in the anime adaptation of his work.

>>797701

There are even rumours that the some Seiyuu arm-wrestled against him in many show aspects, which was tiring and changed the anime from the original content.

Rumours.

>Are there any authors of light novels or manga that refuse a boat load of money, fame and public recognition, with very limited work on their part?

I mean there must that one weirdo somewhere but as a rule it's pretty obvious nobody refuses that.

Besides unless it's a WN, I'm 99.9% sure that any publication deal comes with string attached for derivatives works. As in the author probably doesn't even get the right to say no.

>>798092

It's not that simple, Anon. A kuso anime adaptation could easily do more harm than good.

>>798092

>I'm 99.9% sure that any publication deal comes with string attached for derivatives works.

I don't think so.

There are many publishers competing to get good authors, and there are definitly cases where an author has blocked an anime adaptation.

Perfect example would be Yotsubato, which is published by ASCII Media Works(Kadokawa).

If the author wouldn't be blocking an adaptation, it would have received one ages ago.

Recently Yagi moved manga magazines after his series didn't get serialized in Jump.

His series was then serialized in Shounen Sunday which is owned by a different publisher.

This cleary indicated that the author remains in control for the majority of his copyrights, otherwise it would have been impossible for Yagi to move magazines.

Dragon Ball would also have never gotten a break this long, if Toriyama didn't own crucial copyrights.

For example I just looked at the official Blame release, which lists copyright of the translation and the manga as owned by Nihei and not the publisher.
