Look at Isekai Smartphone or Blesser of Einherjar - both had atrocious anime adaptations but Sam stated multiple times the books are selling very good.
If I remember correctly, Einherjar's anime adaptation didn't really help the sales.
-
@novurdim From what i remember it did help, just not on the same level that "How Not to Summon a Demon Lord" got a boost in sales.

Well, maybe. My memory is hazy, I kind of remember the old CC answer from Sam about how bad anime adaptation can even hurt sales so I could have projected it on the Einherjar.

@novurdim Think it was on the light novel podcast where they had Sam on it, he said that when an anime came out, there would be a boost in sales, and then when it finished, there was another boost in sales. Both demon lord and ragnarok saw both boosts (if my memory serves me correctly), just ragnarok was on a smaller scale and returned to normal sale numbers quicker.
I only compared those 2 because they were in the same season and Sam talked about them both in relation to this on the podcast.

@timmaaah well i think that bad anime dont effect sales badly if its light novel is already available in english before anime comes out. By this even if the anime is bad, it will not effect sale as it already have readers who follow it. They know the quality of LN so they will countinue to read it. It may gain some more readers who want to try LN but they are only some. Other people who watched anime first would want to avoid LN.
In this LN case anime comes out 1st so most people would like to avoid the source because of there 1st impression (except some people).
You can now stop reading rest comment as it is about why i think so.
I write this as my personal exp. I wanted to read ragnarock after reading its plot. But then i see its anime is comming next season so i waited to watch it. After seeing anime i decided to never touch its LN. Some people try to tell me that its LN is good (even i know that i cant judge a ln after watch anime). I even try to read ch 1 part 1(which is free on jnc) but due to anime memory i was not able to read even 1 page.
So to sum up I, who was thinking to buy and get into this novel, never look at it after seeing its bad anime. -
I, for one, don't really care how well anime does or how bad it is, and it doesn't influence my willingness to read the LN in negative way. On the contrary, it can only make me more interested in reading the original. It's a completely different medium after all. Anyway, I'd be interested in that one.
-
I like the anime
and (like a couple of other titles suggested) it's a genre underrepresented at JNC, Romance/comedy slice of life w/o supernatural elementsSam - take my monies for this...
-
that's a shame (re ragnarok) I find the LN to be quite enjoyable (and I cringed when watching the anime---so bad)
-
Episode 8 of the anime looked pretty good :D + Vol.8 of Light Novel is Releasing 20/12 2018
-
Still remember this one?Good..remember how badly Anime was received? but now i was browsing through reviews on Amazon and Bookwalker and what did I found lots of positive reviews of this series!!...there is even Fan-translation running(right after the anime ended)So i tried it and BOY! ITS BETTER THAN THE ANIME!!!!
-
the OVA's are up on crunchyroll. I found them cringe inducing. The (anime) series was sweet and a little bit naughty, enjoyable, but not great. The OVA's were pointless fan-service and raunchy (which I don't have a problem with per se, I expect OVA's in general to go beyond what is in the broadcast cour, but I also expect them to be interesting/fun. These were neither)
-
@jon-mitchell then you should try original source THE LIGHT NOVEL! it is waay better than Anime tho.
-
I want to. Hey JNC, pick it up please

RIP. -
So many books and series to read, but never got round to this series. The anime sadly did not do it justice.
When my Japanese improves and my reading list narrows, I may pick it up... But I don't think it will ever decrease by that much.... Staring at the current pile. 😂But that cover is such a tease...
