The "Akihabara Anime Contest" has entered its third day.
The fluctuations in the rankings of the various entries began to stabilize.
Some potential entries were also discovered, and their popularity quickly increased.
The entry for "Dreams Without Boundaries", "Attack on Titan", is also gradually starting to gain momentum.
It has gone from 17th place to 10th place now.
And it has been rising all the time, and has never been surpassed by any other market in these three days.
The suppressive power of early Japanese local anime works is gradually disappearing.
Instead, what matters is whether the quality of the product itself is strong enough.
Relying on marketing in the early stage can only attract fans to watch the first part.
If something doesn't suit my taste, I will decisively give up on it and choose other entries.
The highly anticipated third season of "Uma Musume" has gradually seen its reputation decline.
At first, everyone had great expectations for Dongjin Film to take over the production of the third season.
Even if it cannot continue the excellent performance of the second season, the quality should still be considered a masterpiece.
The host of the event found the scent of traffic again and immediately found the judging panel.
"Dear judges, regarding the noticeable decline in the popularity of Umamusume on the third day, while Attack on Titan's popularity continues to rise, what are your thoughts?"
"Mr. Yoshino, what do you think?"
At the host's signal, the photographer put the camera in his face again.
Yoshino Kawayuki's face was filled with black lines.
Why are you picking on me when there are so many people around?
Knowing that I have a relationship with "Dream Without Borders", they still asked me to comment on the entries of these two companies.
You bastard, you really want me to offend people, right?
Yoshinogawa Yuki quickly made eye contact with the other judges.
The other people kept dodging their gazes and turning their heads to look elsewhere.
What this means is: You old man, don’t drag us into any offending things!
Although as a judge, it is normal to comment on the entries.
But it was obvious that the host just wanted to stir up topics and attract attention to the live broadcast.
Besides, Ichiro Yamamoto's character is well known among these industry leaders.
For such sensitive topics, the principle is to say less and make fewer mistakes, and to say nothing and make no mistakes!
Yoshinogawa Yuki felt very sad, but he couldn't refuse to comment in front of the live camera.
"Ahem, the third season of Uma Musume has improved a lot in terms of overall visuals and details, and also added some new content and contradictions."
"With the support of 'Dongjin Film', these optimizations and changes are visible to the naked eye."
"Especially the close-up shots, which are top-notch in the industry, and only they can produce them."
"But the plot rhythm and character portrayal are different from the previous two seasons. Perhaps they want to make drastic innovations..."
“Neon fans may have different opinions on the huge changes to Uma Musume…”
The subtext is: these points have nothing to do with the previous ones, they have been changed beyond recognition, and the soul of the first two seasons is completely gone!
All the pictures are just for showing off, they have no substance at all!
If you didn’t have your previous fans supporting you, this would have collapsed long ago!
"So, Mr. Yoshino, what do you think of Attack on Titan?!"
"Everyone says this is the trump card of 'Dreams Without Bounds,' and it's starting to gain momentum..."
When faced with the host's questions, a thousand alpaca horses ran through Yoshino Kawaki's heart.
"This... everyone knows it, so I don't need to tell you."
"Compared to the shock of the first season, the second season now feels more mysterious to me, which is a double-edged sword."
"If the plot isn't handled well later on, it'll just be a case of digging holes without filling them, and the reputation will plummet."
"I'm very curious about how this will unfold. What kind of enemy will humanity be facing..."
Yoshinogawa Yuki did not directly praise the film, but simply explained his views on the plot.
There is no direct comparison between the two works.
This thwarted the host's plan to stir up trouble, but there was nothing he could do.
Several judges around silently gave thumbs up, Yoshino-kun is indeed a veteran!
Speak without leaking a single word!
But some astute viewers don't think so.
Especially the loyal fans of the first two seasons, who believed that "PA Animation" had bowed to money, launched a crusade.
As these remarks emerged, more and more people began to think that this was indeed the case.
Negative news about "Uma Musume" broke out in a short period of time.
The huge lead on the first day was gradually narrowed by the second place.
And "Dongjin Film" also began crazy remedial measures.
In order to stabilize the original fans, "PA Animation" even started playing the emotional card in the name of Tomoya Ueda.
But industry insiders can see that this is the last gasp of a dying force.
At the earliest, within two days, the second place will definitely be caught up, or even fall to the second place.
However, with the influence of "Dongjin Film", it can still maintain its position in the top three.
But obviously, this is not what Ichiro Yamamoto wants to see.
At this time, in Ichiro Yamamoto's office.
There were already a dozen people in suits surrounding them.
"Go, arrange for someone to delete all the negative news!"
"Arrange some more professionals to push all the positive news! We must not allow any news attacking Uma Musume to appear!"
"Boss, do we still need to maintain the popularity?!"
"Nonsense, do you want it to continue falling?"
"Yes, yes, President, I'll take care of it right away..."
"Also, suppress the news about 'Dreams Without Borders' and 'Attack on Titan'. We can't let them get the attention!"
“…”
After a two-hour meeting, Ichiro Yamamoto felt drained.
He never expected that fans would be so resistant to the third season of "Uma Musume"!
For a moment, I doubted my team. Could it be that such a large company couldn't even compare to "PA Animation"?!
The good news is that under the operation of the giant "Tojin Film", the negative news that emerged was quickly suppressed.
The popularity growth rate of "Attack on Titan" has also slowed down.
All the public opinions in Japan that advocated for "dreams without boundaries" have mysteriously disappeared.
Ichiro Yamamoto looked at the feedback data and felt much calmer.
Humph, a small Chinese company dreaming of making a big splash in Japan?!
The fact that you are ranked in the top ten shows that you are indeed quite strong. If I had not been prepared in the past, I might have been defeated by you.
But now "Dreams Without Borders" will also stop here!
