Zaslav is disliked because he doesn't do SJW woke culture. The Batgirl move is why he is infamous. The dude wants to make money and identifies what will. He isn't going to pander to propaganda if there's no sense in it.
I like people who know what they want unlike the old guys. I doubt he cares whether they like him he just wants to make money.

To make money, you need to release products. Zaslav don cancel projects but he never announce any new ones. Hard to have faith in someone who destroys without building

I hereby christen this scene an official K-On reference

Motivation

I think say I like brezz but this manny dey motivate me

GloriousGbola:
I have from both psa and ytx. Same issue.

I usually prefer psa because they have better compression and they give clear quality warnings. Eg internal.

I had downloaded from ytx observed the audio issue, then downloaded from psa and observed same. I guess it's the source file. Which usually happens with extra early releases.

Was planning to download on Saturday morning but maybe I'll hold off till Sunday morning. Hopefully the audio would've been rectified by then.

GloriousGbola:
theres an issue with the version of the woman king released.

audio is not synced

almost as if it was recorded in another language.

weird

but it looks very very authentic - right down to the dorty whites of our eyes

PsaRips?

itspreshh:
again I clearly said they're doing what others do...but better

And I am also clearly saying they're not doing anything better than others.

itspreshh:
that Mappa picks up good titles...

This is mostly true but is most definitely not a point I made.

itspreshh:
they do the same thing...
But better than most imo...

Mappa are fully funding ChainsawMan themselves from what I heard...which is uncommon for anime studios...
So they're clearly marketing as much as they can considering they're bearing all the risks...

I gave example of their trailers being better than most anime trailers,

This is simply your subjective opinion and adds nothing to the conversation

they promote better on social media

How exactly?

and even release raw animation sef constantly...

What is "raw animation"? Define it specifically.

They constantly released episode previews hours to airing which again is uncommon for most anime

It's not uncommon for most anime. Kadokawa and Aniplex handle the preview releases. The main reason MAPPA's doing this now is because they're the ones handling CSM entirely. The last anime they personally posted previews for was Takt OP: Destiny, which I'll like to point out, didn't do CSM numbers

Releasing 12 ending songs is also a flex for them

It's a flex alright, but not really exclusive to them. Blade Runner: Black Lotus, Re: Life, Katanagatari and Mushishi all have different EDs. Mushishi has 26 episodes.

All their opening songs are released on YouTube minutes before the episode airs

Same for other anime. They just happen to have 12 this season.

itspreshh:
again I stated MAPPA picks up big titles...
So I'm not denying your point

Which point are you not denying?

pu7pl3:
Itspreshh is Baddestguyp abi?
Good luck trying to get him to agree with you.

Lol! You sef suppose know that is never the point of entertaining an argument with him. Abi I wan sleep here

itspreshh:
No one is saying the shows aren't popular before MAPPA took them up...
MAPPA are known sef for taking up popular shows...

My point is they do a lot of marketing, even more than most other anime studios...
That's why they're pretty popular nowadays...

Most anime fans would list Mappa as their fav studio...they're always in the news

Name one thing MAPPA does in their marketing that other studios don't do?

itspreshh:
this was a periodic iish...
That was it's peak...
I'm pretty sure it's not the only new gen to surpass One Piece at a point...
But One Piece has remained consistent at the top


I'm not saying CSM wasn't popular...
I'm pointing out that it wasn't as popular as mangas like Bleach, Demon Slayer and many top animanga or light novels like Fate...
Even JJK too was popular but you can't compare it's popularity to some of those...

The point is that it did that before MAPPA.
Even JJK's popularity was before MAPPA.

If you want to claim MAPPA influence, show us a title that wasn't making top 10 in the charts before MAPPA picked it.

Can't be out here overhyping MAPPA's influence just because they inherited massive fanbases.

Why can't MAPPA do the same for Zombieland Saga, Re: Main, Dance Dance Danseur and Dorohedoro?

itspreshh:
CSM surpassed One Piece where? When?

As far as I know CSM was nowhere near One Piece before the anime announcement

itspreshh:
oga ...
AOT was very very popular before Mappa...but Mappa's marketing made it even more popular than it was...

For ChainsawMan...the I've given you a comparison of the fanbase...
It was not as big as you'd think...
It was nowhere as big as shows like Bleach but look at how big the anime has become now?

You cannot deny MAPPA'S influence

I don't argue numbers based on what I think but what I know and can prove. Peep the date

You can keep exaggerating MAPPA's influence.

itspreshh:
Another example of MAPPA promotion is Attack on Titan...
As big as AOT is, it didn't reach the levels of popularity it reached until MAPPA took over...


AOT spent 3 seasons from 2013-2019 under Wit studio but never did...but in it's first year under MAPPA, MAPPA did outstanding promotion


It can't be a coincidence honestly
So many non-anime fans began watching it...same way non-anime fans have started on Chainsawm Man

Lol! MAPPA picked up a show that was already breaking the internet with the 3rd season and ruling manga charts and you want to credit the success of the 4th season to MAPPA.
Funny how both CSM and AoT both already had massive fanbases behind them before MAPPA picked them up but you want to claim it was "because of MAPPA's marketing".
Maybe next season, you'll also claim Vinland Saga's success will be due to MAPPA's marketing, even though we won't see that same success with Camping Cooking Isekai that will also air that same season.

Show us an actual unpopular title that MAPPA made famous

itspreshh:
sure...Marvel spends way more...


For the Mappa iish, does CSM have a bigger fanbase than Bleach? Yet it drew as much hype or even more hype than Bleach...
Even the trailers had more views...
Each opening and closing song had more views than a bigger anime...


As popular as CSM is, it had nowhere near the Bleach popularity...
You can't deny MAPPA'S influence

CSM surpassed One Piece, a currently serializing Big 3 manga, in reads on Manga Plus and had 12 million copies in circulation before it even got an anime adaptation. This was in 2020 before TYBW's anime adaptation got announced in 2021. That's how big the fanbase was before the first trailer was even released. Before MAPPA came into the picture, CSM already had a multi-million strong fanbase.
I'm not denying MAPPA 's influence. I'm simply asking you not to exaggerate it.

itspreshh:
you can as well say Marvel are not specially good at marketing...
It's the fans, every studio can hype just as Marvel nah...

Using your logic

*Edited...okay you didn't deny that Mappa is good at marketing...so no problem

Marvel leases out Times Square's biggest billboard for their blockbusters, pay for various TV spots on prime time shows, have the lead cast appear on multiple talk shows and sports events.
Are you seeing the difference?

And even with all that still, the fanbase still plays an important role. Cos Marvel aren't the only studio that does all that. It's standard Hollywood marketing for big studios.

itspreshh:
Mappa trailers have been popping on my feed bro...
No be today ..
Hell's Paradise, Takt OP etc...
I didn't know shii about all these before

MAPPA btw has dropped some of the best anime trailers of recent years...

Chainsaw Man Trailer 1 and 2
AOT trailer
JJK trailer
Idaten Deites trailer was good too

Yes those shows were popular beforehand but their trailers helped with the hype
Mappa are good at marketing, deny it all you want...


Ask most new gen anime fans their fav studio...
80% of them will choose MAPPA

That a studio released a trailer on a new anime no be hype. It's basic marketing.
I also didn't know about Eminence in Shadow until I came across the trailer. Does that make Nexus the king of hype?
Different anime studios have their trailers pop up on my feed. Should I also crown all them kings of hype?

Nobody said anime trailers don't help with hype. They're promotional materials afterall. But acting like they're the primary source of the hype? That's just disingenuous.
Who dey deny say MAPPA is good at marketing? It's the "king of hype" exaggeration that's being addressed here. Don't try to strawman.
MAPPA is just as good at marketing as other popular anime studio. There's nothing exceptional about their marketing. They make announcements and release trailers just like every other studio. Nothing out of the ordinary.

itspreshh:
I'm talking about the first trailer.
It generated a lot of hype and drew in more manga readers including me.

The 2nd trailer multiplied the hype
I'm not denying the fact that ChainsawMan manga was popular before but it wasn't even as popular as some others before the anime was announced

And the manga fanbase were the ones who generated the hype. 1 million views within an hour on YouTube while also trending on Twitter and garnering thousands of upvotes on Reddit. IN ONE HOUR
The fanbase was already waiting since the trailer release was announced and they started a hype roll that snowballed into the massive reception the anime is getting now.

Like I asked, has another trailer from MAPPA popped up on your feed? Of course not. Because they haven't released anything else with a big fanbase yet. You didn't get the trailer for Dance Dance Danseur and you're not going to have the trailer for the Campfire Cooking Isekai pop up on your feed because none of them are pulling a million views in an hour or 7 million in 11 hours. Dance Dance Danseur's trailer never got up to a million views up till now and the anime itself was well received when it was aired in the Spring season, but still remained underwatched.

Chainsaw Man wasn't as popular as some other manga? NAME THOSE MANGA. Let's see which of them are new.

What was the last new MAPPA anime with big hype? Jujutsu Kaisen. Another title that already had a big manga fanbase.

MAPPA are not the kings of hype. They don't contribute any more hype to a project than any other popular studio.

itspreshh:
cos it's Mappa and it popped up?

Same Mappa making AOT final season...
So I obviously watched and loved it...
I even downloaded the trailer song

And do you think the trailer just happened to pop up on yours and 7 million feeds in 11 hours?

Why don't the trailers for other MAPPA show pull 7 million views in 11 hours if they're the "kings of hype"?

Has any other MAPPA trailer popped up on your feed since then?

itspreshh:
the fanbase was big but nowhere near as big as the hype grew for the anime...
MAPPA are damn good with hype...

I didn't give a f about CSM before I saw the trailer...
Then I binged the manga in a day and half

What made you watch the trailer?

itspreshh:
Bleach was definitely boring until episode 16...
They spent the first 15 episodes with character introductions and fighting random hollows...
It wasn't until Byakuya and Renji appeared that the show kicked off...

30 seconds fight between Gojo and Sakuna?
What epic fight in episode 3?
Nobara fight against a curse?


Again my point stands that you hated CSM even before you saw episode 1...cos you saw the hype...

MAPPA are kings of hype...plus they have some of the best trailers for anime...
CSM fans can be annoying just like most anime fans...

Anime fans must compare...
Even one on this group said Black Lagoon is better than Attack on Titan...
I did not hate Black Lagoon because of what he said

MAPPA no be kings of any hype. CSM manga was already big before the anime announcement even dropped. The fanbase drove the hype, not MAPPA.

abduleez1:
Is bro teasing something in the future??

A Deadman project is waaaayy overdue.

At a time sha, many characters just been wasting in storage. Etriggan, Tornado and Lady Shiva shoulda gotten projects commissioned since.

GloriousGbola:
can you confirm if this pixar dump truck is real, photoshop or surgically enhanced?

say not to fake derriere

That'd require a hands-on examination

Almost shed tears earlier this morning....

1Gig of data just vanish on top YouTube.
I used a VPN on YouTube and thing just unlinked all my downloaded videos. I knew it might react that way cos It has happened some years back (2018) but didn't anticipate the shït I saw.
I thought things might have changed but e be like YouTube brain no dey change.

Normally, back then it'd just refresh the thumbnails and make the vids available to you after you switch off the VPN and use a normal connection. Takes little data.
I had forgotten I had amassed a large library of offline videos in YouTube over time. I had like 304 vids. I Underestimated the size of my library.
Instead of it to just refresh my videos back to normal, it started redownloading them from ground up despite having the core file in its memory.

I had to delete several videos permanently make e no consume my data finish. I lost some videos I would have loved to keep a little longer. From 300+ vids to now 108 videos.

For this Naija wey data price don hike na en YouTube do me this strong thing. Life no balance. E be like say na to start the pain of downloading my YouTube content permanently into my phone instead of YouTube's app.

Make I just use the 2GB+ of entertainment wey I download console myself.

I can imagine the pain. Sorry bro

abduleez1:
I see. But I saw somewhere online where a website said it's only available in China for now. One Chinese streaming app like that — Tencent Video.
Dunno whether na trash talk but the trailer I saw for that anime got me hooked.

I was just scrolling through my old anticipated anime videos download on YouTube when I stumbled upon it once more.

Nothing stays hidden forever. Eventually, e go enter high sea. I'll keep an eye out
