So, I found this article which talks about some generic pop idol show being the most overlooked anime of the season. I wish the explanation would be because it’s a generic pop idol show, but that’s not the case. The otakus are spending billions on this garbage.

The actual reason is bad timing. The show came out in a season with a lot of competition. Not in terms of pop idols, but rather in the amount of cute girls doing cute whatever. Since this winter was dead in quality, everybody was desperately trying to find excitement in whatever they could find. Remember a few seasons back when the internet was overflowing with Hestia softporn? Same case.  

If you are following what the plebs are ciclejerking as the flavor of the season, it’s lots and lots of clips about Dragon Maid and Gabriel Dropout. And they don’t stop there since as usual they find a ton of things to talk about the deep social messages in them, including non-gif-able shows such as Interviews with Monster Girls and even the CGI cancer that is Kemono Friends.

A show that doesn’t have any deep social message or excuses for memes, doesn’t stand a chance against similar shows from the same season that promote overthinking. Maybe it would be a success if it was the only one in winter, and even then it would need something more than bland pop idols. It’s the same case with Sword Art Online, it became a smash hit because it came out at a time when it was the only one about people trapped in a videogame. It wouldn’t be that famous if it came out today.

It’s the same reason of why the Boruto anime coming out next season won’t be a success. With everyone ciclejerking around Attack on Titan and My Hero Academia, it will pass almost unnoticed. It’s not a case of quality or publicity, it’s a case of bad timing.
