  1. I see where you're coming from, but like I said before, I don't need to know the target audience--I prefer to know what the the results are (percentages to be exact).

     

     

    What percentage of the demographic is consisted of male/female?

    Age?

    Ethnicity?

     

     

    The author can control his target audience, but he doesn't have as much control over the outcome.

    He could intend for the show to appeal to 3 year-olds for all we care, but end up attracting people as old as 35.

    R-rated movies aren't necessarily intended for children either, but there's nothing stopping them from watching those films.

     

    Here is the demographic breakdown for movie 18's first weekend if you're interested :

    21-29 (31.2%)

    16-19 (22.8%)

    40-59 (16.2%)

    64% female, 36% male.

     

    Movie 17 :

     

    The gender split for the latest Detective Conan film was 40% male, 60% female. 26.6% of the audience were in their 20s, 22.7% between 16 and 19, and 16.8% in their 40s.

     

     

    And movie 16 :

     

    6~12歳 13.0%

    13~15歳 12.6%

    16~19歳 26.3%

    20~29歳 25.6%

    30~39歳 8.1%

    40~59歳 13.7%

    62% women, 38% men.

  2. Frankly, both Ran and Ai are pretty overrated. I used to like both of them and they were rather interesting characters 10 years ago but now not so much. Ran never seems to take any initiative where as in the older episodes she actually did things of her own (be it brake the windows of cars to catch a culprit or tell a culprit that what they've done wasn't justice etc), as for Ai she's had to settle for the 4th Detective Boy role and all she does now is some co-babysitting with Conan whom she teases once in a while.


  3. That's because the corresponding manga files with the content of the NY case of volume 35 were published in Shonen Sunday a few months before the WTC Towers were destroyed (probably in the summer of 2001 based on volume 35's release date). The files include the towers and the anime probably decided to remain faithful to that despite what happened in between. Kinda weird in a very ironic sense that such a drastic and changeing event took place between the publication of the manga files and the anime adaptation.

     

    Here, have a look :

  4. I really hate remasters. No new episodes, not worth watching. 

     

    Dont get me wrong, i love this series, but they need to stop rehashing old episodes into new ones, stop remasters, and make new episodes the further progress the plotline. 

     

    Even if they did air new episodes instead of remasters, it would be fillers. They are adapting a manga, they are not going to come out with episodes that 'progress the plotline' out of the blue.


  5. I for one still believes that They made a great contribution in the modern music. They are an expiremental band who created some new genres and some chords that we have now. They are original and their songs dont sound the same.

    PS. can you define what boy band is? coz boy band is a band who dont play musical instruments and they sing and dance.

    and can you differentiate what rock is from pop rock?

    You cant coz pop rock is the same with rock. the difference is that people call it pop rock coz they are "popular" rock and they are mainstream at that time and Pop rock wasnt even invented at that time, if im not mistaken. and anyways the music can only be considered "pop" if they use autotune, sounds that is produced through computer and synthesizer.. and also they only use 2 to 4 beat rythmic pattern.. which you can dance to like Payphone by Maroon 5.

    Oh they made a contribution all right, facts are there to prove it and I can't deny that. Whether the contribution was worth it qualitatively speaking (and to the extent which is mentioned today) is another question and in that department I'm tempted to say no.

    Boy bands can play instruments actually. Again, the question is whether they actually do it well or not. Regarding the Beatles, they set the standards in terms of marketing and in terms of target age group for what is done today.

    Although not a manufactured band, The Beatles set a precedent for boy bands to follow both in terms of marketing to young girls and certain aesthetic and musical conventions. The merchandising, whether it was films like A Hard Day's Night or novelty goods were possibly the first aimed at a certain demographic on a large scale for a group. This made them a proto-type for boy bands, such as The Jackson 5 and The Monkees. Musical conventions that boy bands adopted from The Beatles were mostly the catchy pop hooks, melodies and harmonies combined with their marketability. Their marketability was based on the idea that there was something for everyone, whether it was the music or the personality of John Lennon or Paul McCartney or their sex appeal.

    Autotune was first used in the mid 90s. Pop existed way before that. Similarly, synthesizer were first used in the 70s so they're not at the 'roots' of pop. And it has nothing to doing with being or not 'popular'. Pop-rock is a genre of rock which basically mixes pop and its light and somewhat sugary lyrics (usually about love) with instruments used by rock bands like guitars or bass guitars (and later synthesizers). And when you have those mediocre lyrics with average/decent musicians at best, you get a pop-rock boy band...


  6. I don't hate them (in fact I don't hate bands or singers) but I think they are the most overrated band in the history of music : The Beatles.

    Most of their songs are lackluster and pretty forgettable with mediocre lyrics (just look at 'hello goodbye'...). Melodies are usually quite simplistic and they were average at best with their instruments compared to a lot of other bands. Not to mention their rather plain voices.

    Influential, surely. Great, far from that (I do love 'Imagine' though).


  7. Hmm... I can't say it was bad. The only thing that's bugging me is the huge amount of MK characters involved. I'm guessing after rehashing all the Kaito Kid scenes from past OP for the special Kaito Kid OP-32, the people who designed this OP realized they were out of different Kaito scenes. They probably asked Gosho to animate a few short little DC/MK crossover scenes and also a few permanent scenes for this OP to act as the special OP. When August wraps up and Amuro makes his first anime appearance, I'm guessing Gosho will have animated more DC oriented scenes and use them in place of the Magic Kaito scenes from this OP. That's just what I'm hoping. The BO is right around the corner after all and they didn't appear in this OP which I was hoping for.

    Gosho isn't involved in the production of the openings and endings. He doesn't draw any of the frames like what he does for a few frames for the movies.


  8. DC is more popular among girls and women of all ages (from the teen to the 50 year old) compared to boys and men except in the children demographic where it's basically equally popular among boys and girls.

    When you look at the demographic breakdown of the anime, the majority of the viewers are women. Over 60% of the people who went to see movie 16 were girls/women. The manga is particularly popular among middle aged women (in their 40s).

  9. no, based from the latest interview that gosho has announce that he already think the most epic for the ending and it also he said he want retire at the same age of prof. agasa so that means 4 years from now on and the sad news for me is they only have 4 movies left even though i havent watch m-16, though. i hope the remain four movies they will make is something beyond amazing from the previous one.

    Don't worry, they'll probably continue making movies after the manga ends.
