NEWS: GATE Anime to Return in January

I knew it was 24 episodes, but I thought it would be continuous, not broken up. Kinda of disappointed. I guess I'll see how the Fall season shapes up without it before I get too disappointed though.

I loved this series. But people gonna hate since its A-1 pictures. I always find it hilarious how when A-1 rush their absolutely crucified, yet Madhouse have been rushing Overlord a ton recently and its just simply overlooked because its still "enjoyable"..... TALK ABOUT BIAS!!!
Typical anime community I guess, such a damn pity. Wish everyone would be more like Japanese fans and just like an anime for what it is and like the original work for what it is. But that will happen god knows when

I'd like to think it if their producers didn't have such astronomical egos and were always bragging about the work they do and that everything is going to be this big huge deal that will leave the competition in the dust and make a ton of money (while their workers are overworked, underpaid and in some cases fall ill or even die as a result of their schedules), achieve cult hit status and then proceeded to engage in stealth marketing, and charge way more for their products in foreign countries than any other competing publisher while claiming the reason for it is that it's a "superior" product that people including myself wouldn't relish every chance they have to stick it to them.

I didn't mind them too much before they started to adopt their parent companies attitude more and more and strut around like they are cock of the walk and can do anything they want with anything they can get their hands on as long as it's popular, now I really dislike them and a lot of people I know hate their pricing schemes too and general cocksure attitude. If it weren't for today's surprise announcement about the SAO soundtrack I wouldn't have though they cared even remotely about their fans, up front PR and the actual quality of their product as long as they've made their money.

So yeah I'd like to think if a company is going to act and present the kind of "for the money" attitude they do that they kind of earn their extra criticism, but personally I don't even think it's enough half the time and they get away with things that other companies never would because of their PR spin, stealth marketing and friends in entertainment news. Also ironically the way you go on about fans just liking things unconditionally for what they are I'm reasonably sure you are A-1's ideal customer lol.

I already knew that the anime was going to be 24 episodes long, but I was under the impression that it was going to run for 6 months straight. But split cours works for me; Winter 2016 keeps nicely shaping up for me.

I'm curious about where you got all this info could you link it to me? Last time someone spoke so matter of fact said that Madhouse doesn't rely on sales for money (anyone with the smallest brain can see that wasn't true) and said i could google it quickly yet then turned around and said it took them 3 years to find, simply put, what he told me was utter bullshit.
As for pricing you obviously haven't seen the price of Shaft anime, or half the other studios. (12 episodes from ufotable costs over 400 dollars and the shit you get with it isn't worth the price)
And on the last part, maybe I am. I don't like having a picky attitude and saying shit about a studio for doing something i don't like. Yeah they ruined TSDS which is one of my favourite manga but i didn't give a flying shit! Because i still enjoyed it, I just won't buy it.

If being a stuck up company is what's needed to give directors and the sort complete freedom over their project I don't see why everyone should complain.
(btw, every single studio underpays and overworks their employees, not just A-1. I remember reading a story where someone said a no name studio paid him more than Madhouse did, and he had a higher ranking job in Madhouse) Oh and P.S., im not what people call a "fanboy" of a studio, I'm just so utterly sick at people taking their anger out on a studio because they don't rub them right and praise a studio that they know absolutely nothing about. It annoys me so much. If you don't like A-1 Pictures, then WHY IN THE HELL ARE YOU WATCHING THEIR SERIES'??? (The ending statement is general, not aimed at you)

This are good news, at least we won't wait for it so much time. I think is a correct decision, as A-1 might be running low of budget for the show, and delaying it until January is likely to make the anime as consistent as it has been all along this season.

I've just caught up with the series, and I'm glad I did, because I'm having a good time watching it (it makes it better that my brother likes it too, so we can share some laughs while watching it). Really good series, and now I'm looking forward to watching it next year.

I knew it was 24 episodes, but I thought it would be continuous, not broken up.
