Author Topic: Increase UY Popularity (Read 5782 times)

Alright, this plan has two parts and I really hope we get some support.

MyAnimeList.net is a site that lets you keep track of the anime you watch. You run a search on an anime, add it to your list, and then you can set how many episodes you have watched. Your list page is divided by "Watching" "Completed" "On-Hold" "Plan to Watch" and "Dropped"

The same thing applies to manga.

Now, you can also rate anime from a scale of 1-10. The higher the average score, the higher rank that anime will be on the Rank list.

So, I need people to join the website, add Urusei Yatsura (TV) to their list, set is as completed (195/195), and give it a score of 10.

With enough people doing this, UY should rise up in ranks. Currently it is rank #352. In addition, it will increase the number of "members" in that anime and therefore increase "popularity"

So please see if you can find the time to do this.
-------------------------------------------------
Part two is to join the UY club that was created a few days ago.

We are planning a petition for the movie VA's to dub the series. Here's a quote from the admin:

Quote from: EtherealMerc

Quote from: UruseiNeo
so how do we get a petition started?

Put together a small, no-cost webpage that we can use to gain email signatures from...Yahoo has a free service called geocities that allows free webhosting...there are others.
We can start right here on MAL to get a sample of the possibilitiies but this sample would only be accurate if we message the majority of users on MAL that like UY.
If we are going to do this lets get every person that likes UY to join this club and then put the offical word out in MAL and then a on free webhosting site, like Geocities.

If the series gets dubbed, the popularity increase even more!

Please help, this isn't a very difficult thing to do either, but EVERY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL can make a huge contribution by doing this.

I have ranked the TV series 10/10. I hope the rank gets higher if more people on this site continue.

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #2 on:** May 31, 2009, 07:17:29 PM »

I may need to point out that giving a rank only counts for those who have watched 20% of the anime. To be safe, I suggested to put it as completed.

the club is here, for anyone who wants to help with part 2:

Done that a long time ago... XD
Didn't know about a UY group though, I'm joining right away.

Also, I have UY on hold with 109 episodes watched, and that's how I'm keeping it for now.

By the way, I'm not sure I agree with dubbing UY...
I love the japanese voices and I prefer my anime in japanese with english subs (except for some rare exceptions).

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #4 on:** May 31, 2009, 10:21:36 PM »

I understand people who prefer sub, and I respect their opinions/views (especially when they aren't the type who will bash the other type)

But getting the series dubbed by the movie VA's, (I think they were much better than the first TV dub), it should increase the POPULARITY of the anime, and UY will become more well known.

From a Marketting perspective, UY targets fans from the sub-lovers market. Expanding to the dub-lovers market, I think, would be a good idea. If they were to make money off of letting a company make an ENG dub, maybe JUST MAYBE they will do more episodes/OVAs/Movies?
----------
109 is way more than 20% so I'm sure that'll count. You did give it a score of 10/10 right?

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #5 on:** May 31, 2009, 10:27:52 PM »

Also, just wanna bring this up.

Giving scores to other anime could bump them up in ranks making it harder for UY to proceed.

Just saying... you don't have to do anything, just wanted to bring that up.

cata · « **Reply #6 on:** May 31, 2009, 10:40:00 PM »

Done! Let's bring UY to the top again! =D

Forget dubbing... UY is good as it is!!!

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #7 on:** May 31, 2009, 10:56:00 PM »

Again, the point of the dub is to expand into a market that hasn't been fully implemented.

dub = new consumers = increase in total consumers = increase popularity

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #8 on:** May 31, 2009, 11:05:33 PM »

Okay, Urusei Yatsura is actually ranked 208, not 352.

Our goal is the top 30! So let's get past 178 anime by raising the average rank from 7.94 to 8.58/10!!!

The top 10 are ranked with scores of 8.83 and up.

cata · « **Reply #9 on:** June 01, 2009, 12:30:51 AM »

Can't you edit your post, UruseiNeo?

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #10 on:** June 01, 2009, 01:19:29 AM »

edit for what?

Kroptik · « **Reply #11 on:** June 01, 2009, 02:20:43 AM »

To avoid double posting so much.

Cata, add me on MAL too, nickname there is Kroptik too.

FallinG_StaR · « **Reply #12 on:** June 01, 2009, 06:11:04 AM »

I tried my best not voting for other Animes... but it was hard... and there are lots of Hentai OVA... kinda made me drift away from me original purpose... XD

Btw, Dubbed? If my 1st time I watched a UY episode and it was dubbed... I probably wouldn't be here today... on the forum...

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #15 on:** June 01, 2009, 09:09:32 PM »

What do you mean they added to ur network?

cata · « **Reply #16 on:** June 01, 2009, 11:54:38 PM »

I mean that I added them to my friends list on myanimelist. xD

FallinG_StaR · « **Reply #17 on:** June 02, 2009, 12:51:28 AM »

Friend requests accepted...

Funny thing... In my birthday I say I was born in 01-01-2010... and the system in MAL doesn't seem to care that I'm from the future... XD

Btw, anyone here knows how to play japanese Mahjong?

I started watching this http://myanimelist.net/anime/5671/Saki ... and I like the game. It's like playing cards but with tiles... XD

cata · « **Reply #18 on:** June 02, 2009, 09:08:09 PM »

You can play it online, lol. I know how to play it but I'm not a big fan of it. I prefer poker. xD

FallinG_StaR · « **Reply #19 on:** June 03, 2009, 12:55:21 AM »

Poker is good but only with real money involved... I don't like it when its just for fun... I like Russian roulette... now thats a fun family game... XD

Btw, UruseiNeo... how many places did UY go up after this?

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #20 on:** June 03, 2009, 01:32:09 AM »

203 ^_^ up 5 places

FallinG_StaR · « **Reply #21 on:** June 03, 2009, 01:49:54 AM »

LoL

That's... good I guess... XD

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #22 on:** June 03, 2009, 02:17:55 AM »

This is the stats of UY: http://myanimelist.net/anime/1293/Urusei_Yatsura/stats

As u can see, 50% of all voters are in the 7-8 area. It's hard to increase an average from that.

Good news: some of the 10-raters haven't actually finished 20% yet, meaning their score hasn't been counted yet.

FallinG_StaR · « **Reply #23 on:** June 03, 2009, 02:44:56 AM »

LoL

Damn infidels... Dropped: 293

Plan to Watch: 479
If these guys watched it... and voted 8/10... that would be good...

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #24 on:** June 03, 2009, 02:58:20 AM »

I know, but how to be get them to do this?

cata · « **Reply #25 on:** June 03, 2009, 11:21:54 AM »

Cheating by creating multiple accounts. xD

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #26 on:** June 03, 2009, 04:08:51 PM »

I'm gonna do that for the petition

xp

cata · « **Reply #27 on:** June 03, 2009, 08:28:34 PM »

Everyone has multiple accounts of something.

I have more than one e-mail, more than one account per game, ...

I have only one account per Forum, though. xD

FallinG_StaR · « **Reply #28 on:** June 04, 2009, 01:14:05 AM »

I have many accounts for everything... but its just because I keep forgetting the password for them... and in some cases I even forget the login name (account name) XP

But my idea for the guys in MAL was to send them PM to see if their page is updated and to ask them to vote for UY even if they haven't watched it...

Tassadarh · « **Reply #29 on:** June 04, 2009, 11:44:47 PM »

OKI... done!
I'm always up to help you guys

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #30 on:** June 04, 2009, 11:57:53 PM »

the guy at the forum thinks its too unethical to go ask people to rate 10 on UY

FallinG_StaR · « **Reply #31 on:** June 05, 2009, 12:45:39 AM »

We're not asking for people to rate 10 on UY... 8 or 9 is enough... XD

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #32 on:** June 05, 2009, 12:52:07 AM »

he says asking them to change their vote is unethical, dishonest, etc.

FallinG_StaR · « **Reply #33 on:** June 05, 2009, 01:09:30 AM »

Isn't that what politicians do everyday???

That guy knows nothing about the real world... must leave in his imaginary perfect world where everyone goes by the rules and laws...

But... anyway... if you think its for a good cause... I think its worth it... I don't care about what other think. XD

UruseiNeo · « **Reply #34 on:** June 05, 2009, 01:15:20 AM »

well make a post on the forum topic then

http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=89255

FallinG_StaR · « **Reply #35 on:** June 05, 2009, 01:39:41 AM »

Hmm... I better not... because I might get banned... If I say what I'm thinking right now... He reminds me of Sidzero... XD
