why do only some anime get immense popularity when other anime doesn't get any recognition even if they are good?
is it because of the promotion for that anime like trailers, posters?
 
Not everyone anime can get popularity and it needs more than a good plot, animation to gain popularity from it. Anime needs more than hype to become successful.
 
I think its due to lack of time, tons of anime come out each season and people just stick to the ones they have time for.
 
Unique, captivating things get attention obviously.. although nothing can be 100% unique.. least it has to be  different from other shows... Also a good story line.... Well, if a story posses that, then people will talk about it, good rumours spread and it's checked out by other people, their friends etc


Thus ..... Becoming..... Popular.
 
Well, it's very hard to gain popularity.
There are many anime out there, and an anime need to be very special to get special recognition.
 
that's true lol
but how far can people go to get that unique feel and i am sure it's just to get that recognition.
 
Everyone needs that to get the name to the mangaka and for the studio.
So, they do everything to make sure that it gains popularity.
 
lol true that
but they need to give more importance to actual cool stories of anime as well. wouldn't you agree?
 
It's based on the story, studio and the advertising as well.
If everything works out well, only then it could get more and more popularity
 
Like in the rest of the entertainment industry, a lot of it is marketing and timing. To a lesser extent is the quality or uniqueness of it.

You take 10 shows in the same genre, you’ll see that the most popular one would be the one that had the biggest marketing budget. It’s got a bigger studio making it, and the manga was in a more popular magazine.

With the timing, some of it has to be showing up at the right place and time. Also a lot of the more popular shows tend to be one of the earlier ones to come out. Being one of the first ones on the block will have you stick out from the rest of the pack, and a big lead, as opposed to coming out a few years when the genre is popular, and you’re not doing anything to stick out.
