one thing about Gonzo, is that they stand out and make things fun.

it is there directing that can be an issue, they dont know if they want to be comedy drama, or ero horror.
they do get some good animators though.

i loved Afro Samurai.

I thought the Strike Witches DVD sales were good, one of their best since Vandread.

Actually Gonzo has produced a huge mass of terrible series, including Strike Witches, and has mostly failed to do anything but a first episode of an anime asset.

I am glad that a company so full of flaws that has benefitted the visual culture in less ways then it's competitors is finally getting what it deserves.

tl;dr: And nothing of value was lost. Including Strike Witches.

Actually, Strike Witches was way more popular in Japan, than among weea- err, than in the west.

The Rosario + Vampire anime isn't good for Rosario + Vampire manga fans

Probably because they can't turn a profit in the domestic market and have to rely on weeabo idiots to turn out a meager profit and now apparently even those morons aren't going to perpetuate that company of fail.

Technophiles like gear - there's another term for people who like ANTHROMORPHIZED objects which they can then lust over... but the term escapes me at the moment.

I think that's awfully callous of you. Gonzo has produced a number of excellent series and has always had the interests of foreign fans high in their minds.

Got to hope Strike Witches's otherwise near-guaranteed sequel isn't too badly affected by this. Still, taking into account the near-11 thousand DVD sales figure for the first DVD volume, plus the huge buzz about the series, a sequel would seem to be a license to print yen.

No, casual anime is Crayon Shin-chan. Strike Witches is targeted towards specific fetishes (moe, shoujo-ai, guys who like machines)... so I'm betting it'll either get outsourced and end up like Nanoha (if they're lucky), or it'll get the axe.

I'd have thought Strike Witches WAS 'casual anime'. Given how profitable Strike Witches must have been it'd be safe to assume a second season would be a priority if they can do it.
