I'm bored so I went on a rant, describing the current state of the weeaboo world. I get a bit heated when I talk about it. But yeah, there's a new Garo anime that's awesome but the ratings are shit. But somehow precure manages to get 4 - 6 rating, beating HxH during the Chimera ant arc. God damn you pedos!
well lolicon are taking over anime lolloll

It's like every mangaka is fucking infatuated with the US and they're going on and on about how Hollywood is so damn wonderful and put engrish and shit in their anime, yet they have no fucking clue what American fans like. And that's just one example... unless we actually put a considerable amount of money forward we're nobodies. Our opinions completely disregarded.

Yeah, Japan authors have no real clue what the western fans actually like and what characters are popular. A good example is the one you listed, Sakura. I think a better one would be the naruto games. They came out way too frequently without the proper content.

>Good characters.....yeah, i'll agree there. Outside of Monogatari I've been looking for some decent character shows.

But wait, why are the TV ratings so low? Rehashing magical loli shit (Precure) has consistently high ratings yet Shingeki no Bahamut has low ratings. The same with Garo! For the golden age of anime, isn't this pretty shitty? IS THERE ANY HOPE, CHIAKI?!
Precure is for children, much like Digimon and Pokemon. It sales are dependent upon Otaku though, so....yeah.

Let me explain modern anime popularity in simple terms.(3 types).
1. Otaku bait. Moe and loli shit or ecchi stuff.(Doesn't matter if it's been done before, originality doesn't matter).
Examples: K-ON! and Highschool DxD.
2. Braindead Shonen. Literally any 10-12 year olds wet dream.(Doesn't matter if it's been done before, originality doesn't matter).
Examples: Boku no Hero Academia, Akame ga Kill, SAO.
3. HYPED AS FUCK
Example: SnK, Fate/Night, SAO.
Series that are worthwhile and pretty good in their own right don't have huge sales. They never have past 2000.
This is in part because shonen(naruto/bleach/onepiece) took over most of the teeenage audience so right now most of the audience is still shonen remnants(who only watch hyped shows) or teenagers who don't really want a deeper or intelligent show and are going to be watching naruto-esque shows.
Also the ecchi/moe audience doesn't really care. They just want softcore porn.

Yep. Precure might be aimed at kids (haven't watched it) but lolicon weeaboos are the ones that are actually buying merchandise and shit. Like holy fuck have you seen the amount of precure doujinshi? It's crazy.

Precure is pretty much your generic shonen, with magical girls.
As far as merch goes, yeah, waaaaaaaaaaaay too many weabos and shit for that.
