That's the thing, because they know we will buy it anyway. Nostalgia can be good but it has to be balanced out with new content. Right now 90% of all the anime/cartoons of this day rely too much on nostalgic feeling without even comprehending the fact that you need to rely on new principles to become greater for the audiance that grew up with them (since most of the reboots and anime as DB super was directed for those pple that grew up with it). Instead they tried to gave us too much of the old feeling what db supposed to be with the flaws of the series (power levels were a joke, the animation has even gotten more bad than it used to be and the new characters that got introduced get completely overshadowed by goku again).
Right now Dragonball super can be called Goku's adventures, this worked for dragon ball series since goku was a kid, everything was new the story telling was way better and the characters development was way deeper then the one in DBS. I would more likely wait 2-3 weeks to get a series with overall better quality.
But then again, The community of today is so selfcentered that even bringing something out for the people only is done if it is an assured profitable in a small amount of time for themselfs, the passion and selfcommitment seems to die bit by bit the further we "evolve" as a society.
Well, I certainly cannot disagree with any of that, considering it is basically just an extension of what I stated in my post.
The question is, what can we do about it? Most people I know already stream all their anime off random streaming sites instead of giving the creators any money. So whats next? Do you propose not buying any anime/ otaku merch based on these series either? Because alot of those anime figures are actually quite impressively crafted as opposed to the anime themselves.
It's quite a vexation of the spirit. And then there's all those ignorant anime "fans" who go on Youtube telling everybody to "remember to support the studious by purchasing blueray discs etc". I can't think of anything WORSE for the health of the anime industry. -.-
