However, it seems like it's possible to repeat oneself, nearly, and still deliver interesting entertainment. I'm talking about anime, of course. For example, there's a subgenre of it, sometimes called "Cute Girls Doing Cute Things", which was pioneered by Azumanga Daioh in 2002. When it came out, it was thought impossible to make 26 episodes about girls doing virtually nothing. Ever since they were making these things. At first I thought they would go creatively bankrupt after Lucky Star. Then, after K-ON. This season, Yuyushiki -- and it's still pretty good. I don't know if we can compare this to popularity of Fast and Furious, now on its 6th installment, because I'm not familiar with Hollywood. But there's a certain lesson in it. Perhaps the "monochrome cop" formula may be made interesting again. Maybe Hollywood is just not trying hard enough?ザイツェヴhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164033061112816744noreply@blogger.com
