All right, then, I'm an anime nerd and this is your real Phil Knight,
but let's pause here if you're new here.
My name is Barry
and this is my wife shall review of Phil Knight isn't getting a season two.
We'll talk all about what goes on behind your favorite enemies.

Now, the
first minute of this anime always confuses me.
So after he's done his morning jogging routine,
he goes back to his room where Stella, our main girl protagonist, is changing.
And of course, the cliche begins with her being very shocked
and embarrassed that this new guy has seen her in her apartment.
So in response, he tells her weight and gets naked to call it even one.
How does she not notice that she's in someone else's room?
For anyone who's been into a dormitory or an apartment,
or just a new house in general,
you'll know if someone has been living there,
even if it's not a messy apartment or messy place.
You know, two instead of him being like, You're my room.
He strips.
I don't need to really explain that one, right?
three. Everything the director says.
The director simply just leaves and doesn't really say anything
about the situation.
Her response in the end is like, Well, hey, if you don't like it, you can leave.
Which, of course,
Stella has a problem with Nicky's just like, Yeah, I'm fine with this.
Which leads to the duel with the winner wearing the pants
in the house and deciding how things will go.
Looking at this now, I can only think like,
what if this guy was like a scumbag or a hinted protagonist?
How would
this it this directed it fucking sucks, which in the end,
she's apparently the best director in the history of the school, essentially,
which just means how bad of directors they have.
It's just insane, Stella, being the hothead character that she's known to
be. Seems to just up the stakes, with the loser becoming the winner
servant for life.
Cut to some feat picks and weave.
The battle starts and EGI wins Chuck.
And now that I get to see it again, I have another problem with it.
Their rank is basically based on the manner they possess,
you know, rather than their actual combatting ability.
But whenever there is an actual competition,
it's like a one on one do or has to do with combating ability.
And the director says there's no way we can actually track his skills.
Yes, there is.
I hate it when enemies do this bullshit because I can name a number of enemies
that actually follow this very closely of, Oh,
we can't properly track our main guys skills.
So we had to put him in the lowest category.
Example one is how he did in dual Masters series.
You know, you go.
They would
make the freshmen battle instructors to get an idea of where to place them.
And even though the main protagonist is seen as weak because of his red colored
jacket by the end of the first term, everyone knows
who's the best duelist despite, you know, the color of his jacket.
They can just say, Yeah, it's Jaden James.
The best doors there, Zane.
And then there's Jaden, and then that's it.
Everyone else is just fodder at this point.
But instead of fixing, you know, the problem of actually
giving him classes and helping him along in the scene, they do not.
So fast forward, Silla finds herself thirsting for icky.
This line told me all I needed to know.
She's really down bad.
It's been six years since the release of this anime
and the show, and I still remember this scene.
Stella is busting a big nut and is just grinding on him at this point.
So what have we learned so far?
So one wants to be given the chance to fail and be a normal kid,
the other wants to be given a chance to literally exist.
Episode two
Then we get to the big, tragic backstory of his family,
who really just don't like him.
For what reason you might be asking?
Oh, no, not really. Him just being alive.
Would be nagi.
Who is the gem of the show?
Truly, truly a dream.
If I want to see the two, I want to know how his story line plays out.
He was cool with the episode ending with this literal thirst demon.
She wants it bad.
I don't know what it is, but by the end, I'm just finding out
the Eagles power is literally him becoming a masochist
and just taking all the pain that he's been given
and learning to just overcome his obstacles.
But he has to first get hit a lot.
In all honesty, I can't tell you how many times I was
pleasantly surprised with how good these episodes are.
I'm sure they're not going to be
like the violet ever garden or the fruit basket or whatever
mainstream action romance title you're subscribed to currently right now.
But I wasn't supposed to like this anime as much as I did.
Like how the main two leads have this awkward interactions with each other,
every episode and getting interrupted when they are making progress?
It becomes really endearing.
With this being the first like real relationship with the opposite sex,
so they're trying to figure out how dating works.
And I got to say it's kind of one point for a couple of these episodes
or how when they added, I say I know another girl added to the Harum.
But instead of giving her this boring arc, you know that most girls in her position
that we be given, she's given the most epic part of the show
, like her arc, was literally the best part of the anime.
We get to Corado and his asshole gang of friends breaking a glass over
the main leads head the first time we see them and how he beat her
father in a duel, putting him in the hospital on his actual deathbed.
Took his
dojo and then left her daughter basically homeless for a while.
The show literally made her homeless and didn't even talk about it is there's
no one else like asking the question of how did she survive for so long?
Anyways, the duel begins with Iggy and this asshole Corrado
was like the best part of the show.
But before we even got to that part of the show, we're
learn about Isaiah's ability, which is fucking busted.
She can plant literal blades and flashes before the fight
even freaking begins, even although it's against the rules.
But she reminds me of that character from Black Clover with the red hair.
I don't know his name, but you know, hometown hero
who could set up traps before the fight even begins.
Then, mind you, her sewer technique got improved before the fighting begins.
So literally, she should win this in every regard.
Like I should be on. She should win. She should've won.
But she did whatever cool main protagonist, Coca-Cola,
whatever, but likes it. That's the pre-game.
The main course is is Corrado, who literally
he should not lose at all, either his ability is busted.
If you haven't seen the enemy, go watch it.
You'll understand he's busted as well.
And that was the best fight of the anime.
Because if we skip to the final episodes where he wins
the tournament for his school or whatever,
there is actually nothing hype that happens.
The battle with the student council lasted like one minute, and the battle was
stellar was predictable.
The finale just felt very off-putting compared to like the middle.
I was epic.
There is no chance he should have won, but he wins it
because he's a main protagonist.
But the characters were freaking crazy, you know,
if anything, the last couple of episodes makes you want to cry a little bit,
but it wasn't hype.
It just made you sad.
Now let's talk about something that no NBA fan likes to talk about
that being the Blu ray sales.
Generally, the Blu-Ray sales make or break your average seasonal enemies and decide
whether it gets a season two or gets cut off.
As far as the revenue, this anime made a total of ¥121,500,000.
And let's put that in U.S.
dollars and we get a 1,108,450 hundred and $0.21.
That's not enough by itself.
But to be fair to this anime,
that is more than a lot of other enemies can generally say.
I would even say that's enough to consider making another season.
This is still a rare thing to say because animated so less
the second season, and they also sell less during rereleases.
Chivalry of a failed and I made it 2963 copies
and then did a rerelease in Seoul 678.
So in total, it sold 3641, which in comparison to direct competition.
That being the ASRock War, a show that I love, by the way,
it did similar numbers and I would say better numbers,
considering that Asterisk War had a season one and season two in the franchise.
Keeping this in mind, though, the people at NBC News that work basically
call showreel Phil Knight a copy of Asterisk War.
I don't know which one came up before.
It doesn't matter to me.
Oh, I'm going to say
is that if the copy, you know, beats the original quote unquote,
then that makes it now the original in my head or just makes it better.
So let's talk about some merchandizing issues.
So for this anime, they could not use the manga sales to help the anime sales
show through a field.
Night's manga is published by Square Enix and in the United States.
Typically, it depends on the agreement
made by the publisher and the author that decide who owns the actual work.
For example, my sister wanted to sell her book,
so she decided to become the publisher so she would own her own work in Japan.
Though from what I see, it's
usually the publisher who owns the work and not the author here.
Usually, the author of the creative work is the owner of the copyright.
But in the publishing industry, the owner of the copyright may be the
publishing company due to the agreement between the author and the publisher.
Sometimes, even though a book is published by a major publisher,
the author's still owns the copyright, so innocence.
This is the case.
The enemy is based on my novel with light novels.
Publisher is KBE creative, and if we look at the production company, a.k.a.
the people that pay to make the anime, a.k.a.
the owners KBE Creative is on the board, but they're at the bottom of the listing,
meaning that they own the least amount of the anime.
And this is where I'd say
they should have used the income from my novel to make a second season.
But in this case, they already did that because that's their income.
But I'm assuming that the rest of the people on the board
didn't feel the need to make a season two, so that means no season to is happening.
To be honest, I agree ECB isn't too known for dipping their toes
into anime production, and this was their first really
try at it with anime that they published, you know,
and in a way, Phil Night didn't really fail.
I mean, sure, 3000 copies isn't, you know, the most impressive numbers.
But they just wanted to do a test run and they did pretty well
and sold a pretty good amount.
But after the animators kind of stopped producing enemies, it's only
until 2019 did they really try again and again and.
Again and again and again.
And one more time, the Mashi has been their golden child
for the past half a decade, and that's when it hit me.
The other half of this catalog.
Still, there aren't any winners here, except for Don Matchy
Goblin Slayer, which is Journey and Phil Knight from going off
Adobe much success to indicate whether felt nice to get a season two.
The answer is no.
If I'm saying, well, couldn't they do as well,
they get second season, will they be able to equal treatment?
You know, because I'm actually sold 10,000 and I don't see Phil Knight
season two selling 7000 copies.
It's not going to happen.
The probably going to be roughly around 3000 to the 1000 range,
which wouldn't really advocate make a second season.
Other goods sold.
So we're going to talk about the other revenue sources
besides just the blu rays, because there are other revenue sources.
Of course, we all know about streaming,
which they're currently on Hulu and Amazon Prime.
So as far as streaming, they've been monetizing for at least six years.
But as far as other goods, what else do they sell?
Well, they sold CDs, of course.
Gaming, mouse pads, body pillows, wallpapers, enemy figures, buttons,
T-shirts, outro, cover images, more high definition covers, live events
where you would, you know, buy food and get prizes for keychains, bags, et cetera.
And to top it all off, all this was house under one site being the main site.
This was huge at the time, and still to this day is pretty huge.
The point I'm getting at is at the time, anime merchandizing was the best.
The best I've seen over the course of making and covering a lot of the enemies
is like you having about three or four of those things on one site.
So I know that them housing all this on one side is not the norm in the market.
It should it, it should be now.
But at the time, it definitely wasn't.
So this was definitely groundbreaking what they did.
The only mistakes I have is not having light novels sold here.
That doesn't make sense to me because, you know, the light novel
company is a part of the board that, you know, produces anime.
So you would think that they would want to say, Hey,
you can also buy the light novel here that we make in house
, you know, but I assume there's a reason for that.
So now we're going to complain about it here.
My final thoughts on the anime.
So what now was the chance of a season two?
I would say the show has a 20% chance of coming back.
The first season cover the first three volumes of light novel,
and in 2020 it finished with 18 volumes of material to use.
Now that it's fully finished, you're saying, well,
it could get another season and it's still early on the side of no.
It's been more than half a decade since the last project, and
usually I see sales go down after the releases of an anime
or, you know, a revamping or second season of an anime.
I will say that regular high school waited six years before
making a comeback and made a season two and a spinoff.
But the people that own it don't really seem to be willing to make another one.
But I will say if they do want to make another season, they have too soon.
I only say that because the story just finished,
and they don't really have much time before people completely forget about them
and go on to the next big anime or average seasonal, animated
and stuff like that, and just literally forget about them.
Overall, the anime was a 2.3 out of five.
two main characters have amazing chemistry.
The problem with the anime
has to do with one having a great antagonist at the ending.
They don't have that to having poor road building.
The first with the antagonist is simple.
Prato was like the only good antagonist the show had, but he was taken out
in episode eight and then teased that he would be in later projects.
And sure, you could count Iggy's father
and that fat guy that tried to put him in jail.
And yeah, the scene with Iggy's father in episode eleven was enough to
make any grown man cry, but he couldn't punch them.
So yeah, it's not really doing it for me as a fan.
To most, school enemies have this problem of world building,
so once they go out to a new setting, with that being the next season,
the same school elements that worked in
the first season would just would not work in the second season and another other
harum animated all other school enemies in general have this problem.
So it's not just this anime is the general problems with a lot of school enemies.
They can't translate into other genres outside of school now.
