Steins Gate happened to be a lucky coming together of a talented director with a singular vision who knew what parts to focus on, combined with an excellent lead character. But the other 4 anime have been Chaos Head, Robotics Notes, and Occultic Nine, all of which were varying degrees of Bad. One of them was Steins Gate, which was pretty great.

Chaos ChildĬan we stop giving the semi colon series the benefit of the doubt anymore? They’ve had 4 attempts so far. Even my blackened heart can find nothing cynical to say about this. All for an anime so approachable and likable you could show it to anyone from literally age 2 and upwards and feel reasonably safe in the knowledge that they’ll like it. Startup studio, training young animators, government funding a notoriously underpaid position, western fandom outreach, kickstarter success.

Out instead came a full movie, The Enchanted Parade, and now we’re getting a full 2 cours TV series. This goodwill extended to when they decided to run a kickstarter to produce a second episode of Little Witch Academia and got 3 times more than they asked for. As Japan largely ignored the short, western fans were already quite fond of Trigger’s outreach to English-speaking fans with the debut nonsense piece Inferno Cop also featuring on Youtube as free streaming with English subs. That ended up being something of a huge success for Trigger. They mostly were just fansubbbed until Trigger decided to stick Little Witch Academia up on Youtube with pink English subtitles. Death Billiards is probably the other famous anime to come from this as that short eventually became Death Parade, but there were some other pretty excellent shorts like Wasurenagumo and Oji-san no Lamp that I highly recommend checking out. It started out as a one episode project as part of the Young Animator Training Project, a government scheme to provide funds to studios to train up young animators and make a short anime. Little Witch Academia is quite the feel-good story. It could be an entire season of idol shows and flash animated shorts and I’d still get excited. Are you still excited? Good, because so am I! Yeah I can’t help it. Not quite Winter 2013 where the only good anime was Inferno Cop, but not far off. Welcome to The Cart Driver’s perhaps not world famous but at the very least reliable anime season preview, winter 2017 edition! I’m fast approaching 9 years writing these things and I’ll admit in the realm of pre-season hype generator, this upcoming season ranks as one of the worst I’ve seen in a while. There’s a bar somewhere in Tokyo with a number of them proclaiming they won! Gahahaha! I’m pretty sure half of the anime from this season came from their think tank.

While writing this season preview I found myself thinking of the laughing producers in Girlish Number and their hair-brained ideas for how to create a hit in the hottest new craze.
