Digital Bros joins the chorus of game companies putting people out of work in the name of “operational efficiency.”
Ah yes the anime treatment. Only release reboots, sequels, prequels, and poor spinoffs. For every One Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100, Chainsaw Man, or Megalobox, there are way more re-do’s or milking such as Yet Another Gundam Series, a new Bleach something or another, InuYasha retread, Trigun reboot, Hunter x Hunter reboot, FMA Brotherhood, Fruits Basket, Fate/Stay universe, Evangelion remake, everything DragonBall…I could go on. It’s rather depressing.
Games are just following the curves established by other artistic mediums over the decades when laziness and greed wins, as it always does. Even The Last of Us wasn’t safe.
For every reboot sequel and prequel there are 10 new series. There are around 40 different new anime this season. (Without counting Chinese, musics, poor quality and children’s show). Take a look at myanimelist seasonal anime.
(Anime in Japan come out in season : winter, spring, summer, fall. So they start and finish roughly at the same time).
.
And most or your example are pretty bad,
- bleach just got an end that everyone liked
- hunter hunter was paused because the author is sick, it never stopped and it’s not a reboot
- FMA brotherhood was great because it fixed the issue with FMA : the end of the anime was made before the manga. And it’s 2009 come on you can’t use that to say that nowadays there’s only reboots
- yeah they are milking the fate franchise and evangelion, and their community is all for it
