Imagine being the biggest thing from the 80s only for it to get this as the remake.

I wouldn't want to wish onto anyone.

I don't know how Mashima keeps on getting more work. All his characters are starting to look the same. to the point of literal reuse of designs. Both Male and Female and his stories are painfully mediocre too

>>280491996
3D animation is a medium of art and isn't inherently bad

>>280490844
I can't imagine who is the target audience for this? The boomers who grew up with old traditional 2D will hate this. The zoomers who prefer their characters to look pretty and hot will stay away from this too

>>280495513
Whoever was the target audience for Berserk 2016

Masochists, probably

Nothing but faggot and women reading the magazine, please understand

>>280496370
for a while i thought fujimoto was the new go nagai but he's being retarded with part 2

what's the reason for lack of new mangka innovators? people like go nagai, toriyama, togashi (rivals trope) etc who create entire new genre and staples.

we only had people who make hit manga or flop since the 80's.

>>280496721
Nothing to do with the internet. There's been lack of new things since the 80's

Literally been the case for a decade at least. Mashimafags used to brag about how he could do so many projects at once and have freetime to play entire RPGs on release week. If you told them it's because his stories and arc are extremely generic so the output is high, they'd tear you a new asshole for it. The absolute catharsis when Edens Zero flopped hard and Mashima's relevancy fell off.

What "hits" has it lost though? K8 is the only decent hit going away and the other series ending where never too big that they can't be replaced, ron and magi lumiere got mogged hard by girls meet rock so replacing them is possible

>>280500187

Losing K8 isn't worse than losing JJK and MHA at the same time btw

>>280500261
Himaten just has one cuck paying for leaks. It's kinda surprising for KDG because coomers are normally loaded with disposable income for fanbox/onlyfans.

You could have mentioned how mato seihei is near its ending as well as youchien wars but you decided to only mention a bunch of series that ended long ago and have been replaced

>>280496470
Go Nagai practically invented all of the shonen tropes on his own. And it's not an exaggeration, it's all on him. Toriyama was one of those dudes who saw what Moebius was doing and tried to one up the quality of manga in Japan. Ironically, he suffered the same sorta fate Moebius had where everyone thinks they're sci fi/fighting manga creators respectively, when the core of their stuff is just comedy. Togashi is a hack, his works are mediocre at best, and kids only like him because deep inside they know their generation's mangaka are crap. It's like people who weren't there when One Piece started and yet claim it's the best manga. They don't want to claim Ruri Dragon or some shit like that.

>>280501162
>mato seihei is near its ending as well
Not a chance

>>280501162
Mato is far from ending. What are you talking about?

>>280501206
Imagine calling Togashi's work mediocre yet propping up one piece
just lol

>>280501254
They are setting up the final confrontacion with the enemy faction retard, it's not too long before it ends

>>280501321
>setting up the final confrontation.
You are stupid. You really think they're gonna set up an all out war where all 5 of the remaining gods dies in the same arc? It's a harem manga dumbass. They are just gonna knock them out one by one or 2 after every single arc. And once thats done, there's clearly something brooding inside Yuki after all the gods die and go inside him.

>see that Sakamoto becomes viral due to tunnel effect
>puts this right before the stupid bakugo tier revival
comedymoto is back

>>280501276
See, this is why Togashi fans are mentally deficient. Nowhere in that comment One Piece is defended. Admit Togashi is a shit mangaka who is only capable of creating shit. There's nothing more to it than that.

>>280499002
3.3 million views vs 1 million really hurt huh

>>280498966
Something like JJK and KNY proved they can still have hits though

>>280502128
They already ended years ago bro
Jump has not had any new hits since 2019

>>280501520
Why do you think that's impossible? Demon Slayer was focusing on one or two demon moon per arc then decided to kill off the rest of them in a sudden final boss raid

>>280497992
Nishi is never allowing this succubus to appear half naked in a color spread, champion has a bigger demographic of shonen readers and although it is not as full of coomers as magazine they do a lot of fanservice with their heroines and even there Iruma barely ever gets fanservice which is probably holding back how popular the manga could be because the bitches in Iruma are top tier, although I wouldn't like to see Clara in a bikini she is too pure for that, but the rest? yes, same thing happens with Shy, Teru barely has any fanservice color spreads in the same magazine with a manga about a boy that gets superpowers everytime he fucks a woman and makes her cum

>>280502094
100 millions vs 19 millions really hurt huh?

modern weekly shonen jump manga wouldn't survive in weekly shonen sunday, they are all very average manga, the magazine is still relevant because of one piece but after one piece nothing will be left, Ichi the Witch and Kagurabachi are an 8 at best

One Piece= 10/10
Kagurabachi= 8/10
Ichi the Witch= 8/10
Sakamoto Days= 7/10
Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi= 7/10
Nue's Exorcist= 7/10
Shinobigoto= 6.5/10
Akane Banashi= 7/10
Me and Roboco= 6/10
The Elusive Samurai= 7/10
Witch Watch= 7.5/10

I mean do not get me wrong, other magazines are full of average manga that aren't anything groundbreaking but their flagship manga are of a higher quality than that of Jump currently, Sunday got full of really good manga recently that are at least a 7/10, magazine has Gachiakuta and Blue Lock, and champion has a lot of really good manga as well like you are a four leaf clover or Iruma which are solid 9/10 manga, even their not so great manga are better than that of jump, Jump has worse romcoms than Magazine, worse serious manga without fanservice than Sunday, and lastly worse cringe kino shonen manga than Champion there is no fun in modern jump only fujobait and uninspired stories

>>280502648

I recently read Kagurabachi and fell in love with it. I didn’t expect it to be this good since its release was surrounded by memes mocking yet another shonen manga with a sword-wielding guy. After reading it, I get where the memes came from. The protagonist Chihiro starts off stoic and hard to connect with. But he expands the trend of darker protagonists in recent Shonen Jump, like Yuji Itadori in Jujutsu Kaisen’s Shibuya Incident arc or Denji in Chainsaw Man, both beaten down by their stories. Unlike Yuji and Denji, who have charisma or humor, Chihiro lacks that. He fights for what’s right but is a murderer, slashing through people in the first chapter. Even if they’re bad guys, they’re human, yet he cuts down anyone in his way. He sees himself as a monster headed for hell, not enjoying the violence. His goal is to protect innocents by reclaiming and destroying enchanted blades, with killing as a byproduct. The third arc deepens his dark motivations. Each arc improves, with the first delivering a climactic battle that feels like a 10-volume payoff in just two. The second arc brings emotional storytelling and complex battles. Now in the third arc, a favorite character emerges, and the battles are among the best in modern shonen. The art style is my favorite in modern manga, with page turns so stunning I have to stand up and rave about how awesome Kagurabachi is.

Shueisha needs more mangaka like ONE is less mangaka like Nishi, even tho I consider Iruma to be a masterpiece Ichi the Witch is nowhere near as good and that's because Nishi has a very western style of writting that is perfect for Iruma because Iruma was created to be that way but Ichi the Witch is just not so entertaining because it is is too slow and the characters are too prude

ONE is irreverent, revolutionary, his characters feel human and if they don't then ONE makes fun of them in his works, he has an amazing imagination and an amazing way of telling stories because he is not a prude but he is also a man with morals, which make his manga really fun to read but also endearing through their message, this is what manga should be, also Iruma has more comedy than Ichi the Witch, the characters of Iruma are more irreverent, the characters of Ichi the Witch are super prude and edgy

>>280498141
I'd buy such a plush, or dildo.

>>280505892
you either go full edgy like Kagurabachi and Gachiakuta or go full irreverent like One Piece, Dragon Ball, One Punch Man

I guess there can be an in between but the story and ideas need to be unique, like Naruto with its ninja world, or Hunter x Hunter with its unique world and power system, or Saint Seiya with its unique greek and mythological world and power system, there is nothing like Saint Seiya out there, you need that, you need something that is unique, no more medieval fantasy, no more exorcists, no more edo japan, something unique

>>280503248

Thanks fren

>>280507058
I can read it just fine, Kagurabachi's not hard to understand, it's just that different people notice different things to yap about. Like the stuff about Chihiro and his dad vs Iori and her dad are in-your-face but people can have slightly different takes about what it all means and what parts of it are important.

>>280496470
The things you are attributing to Toriyama and Togashi were already done before by Kinnikuman and Ring ni Kakero

>>280506208
Seconding this question, curious to see what drove him insane.

Why is WSJ a fujo magazine now? Most of the series are clearly meant for kids with no romance or have standard fanservice. Himaten, Witch Watch, Blue Box, Kill Blue, One Piece, Nue, Kaedegami, Otr, Shinobi, Kiyoshi, even Sakamoto Days all have nice girls to look at. The gayness of Kagurabachi is just memes and jokes since the women aren't on screen much. The only kinda gay series are the new ones like Ekiden and the baseball one, because sports are always a little gay if they want to succeed. It's still a magazine for boys who like girls.

>>280506056
>full irreverent like One Piece

>>280507884
Naruto is still influential enough, 10 years is nothing, we are still seeing DBZ influence

>>280507421
Ichi the witch feel like it was make for girl reader, I couldn't bring myself to read it cauae it too damn fujo for my taste.

Ichi as girl would make it better imo.

>>280508213
Ichi feels like a rehash of Iruma, which makes sense given who the author is. All about the platonic family vibes. Iruma's got romance going on though so maybe Ichi will meet a girl he likes, once he learns how to act better in human society.

>>280508213
Ichi is a world full of girls and it's still fujo
Women writers find a way somehow

>>280508309
Well, that explain everything!

>>280508025
Isn't it though? Sojo's "I truly love" thing with Kunishige was for laughs, same with Uruha's fanboying. Hakuri and Chihiro are brotherly or else why would Shiba call them twins? Chihiro just needs to spend more time with Iori or Hiyuki and the allegations will clear right up. If the girls were on screen more often it would be a non-issue.

>>280506056
>full irrelevant like One Piece, Dragon Ball
Did you get dropped on your head as a kid or what?

>>280508422
Nta, but the only male characters I'd actually consider being legit fags are Uruha and Soya. If you told me Hokazono confirmed they're both gay in an interview I'd believe you.

>>280508444
Irreverent, retard. He means shonen that are less serious. OP has a bunch of fake out deaths and Dragon Ball has resurrection as a casual thing.

>>280507884
The 10-15yo girls that got into yaoi through narusasu 10 years ago are now working in today's manga industry.

>>280508915
Oh wow, social media comment trends, as if that has anything to do with sales or quality.

Kiyoshi does well on less traditional platforms like LINE manga, which aren't tracked as much as stuff like Shoseki. It's safe and going on for the forseeable future so cope harder.

>>280508999

>Kiyoshi comfortably sitting in the middle of the rankings while even nepo series like Kill Blue and Elusive Samurai sometimes end up in the bottom three

Face it, Kiyoshi's going to survive and become an "it exists" series like UU and Yozakura Family were. A nice, comfy, wholesome traditional shounen to read every week.

>>280509185
>WSJ showing no signs of axing it especially with new bait like Nice Prison and Ekiden BLOWS hanging around*

Who loses this Sunday?

>>280509264
Not our WINNERS, that's for sure.

>>280509264
Ping Pong

I have no idea what the author was trying to do but he didn't succeed anyway.

>>280509252
Ekiden might be gay enough that fujoshi latch on to it, just have to wait and see. If a girl's introduced and relevant to the plot then it's ogre and Harukaze Mound wins.

>>280509252
Ekiden is surviving for at least one more round

>>280509318
Pin pong reminds me of matsumoto, fukumoto like plot that doesn't focus on the aspect that could make the plot interesting

>>280508903
What went so horribly wrong?

>>280509410
Runaway matsumoto*

>>280509352
Ekiden is doing worse than Ping Pong, the reception of the series has been awful its almost at the level of Nice Prison and even Nice Prison had higher views in jump+

Hang on, who is this again?

THE ONLY ANIMES TO EVER HAVE A SPOT IN "HALL H" AT SAN DIEGO COMIC CON ARE:
• Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (2022)
• Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle 1– Akaza Returns (2025)

Kimetsu no Yaiba got itself a spot in "HALL H" at SDCC alongside MARVEL/DC/STAR WARS — in just 5y

HNNNNNNNNNNNG!

>>280492599

Theaters: 354
Screenings: 1802
Seats: 433405
>Kokuhou
Theaters: 363

So just to recap: Superman opens in a foreign market with fewer cultural ties, grabs nearly the same revenue as a 5-week domestic film with less runtime, more seats, and IMAX support, and your big W is that it came in second by $500K on a weekday, in Day 2. That’s your flex? Go back to cooking pre-order ticket cope and praying Jurassic World doesn’t steal Infinity Castle's lunch money, boy.

>>280509692
>grabs nearly the same revenue as a 5-week domestic film with less runtime

Superman is supposed to dominate its first weekend

>>280509530
Dang, sucks for the author. The series has a wholesome vibe that I like but it's definitely lacking something to keep reader interest. MC doesn't stand out in any way, nor do his bros. He's already in college so we skipped a whole arc of his life. Even the rival he almost had in Ch.1 was resolved. There's room for it to set up new things and turn perceptions around but it'll be hard as fuck.

>>280509053

They're not working at WSJ though. They're sticking to their own magazines and doujin circles.

WSJ might be done with doing pinup type stuff but they're not actually going to have anything gay any time soon. There's no way any series will end with a lesbian or gay couple with an MC in this magazine.

>>280509998
KaguraGOLF was real...

>>280509264
That running manga for being ugly as shit a Nice Prison for the universe being an unjust place

How come not a single kino series has been serialized after Kagurabachi?

>>280510165
Imagine creating a deuteragonist and announcing to the world that you intentionally made him "cute" to draw out some of the protagonist's personality.

Then had said deuteragonist essentially almost propose to the MC when they meet with him saying shit like "That day, I met a samurai who lit my helpless existence on fire" and "I need a samurai in my life! I need YOU!"

Then set up a running joke of said deuteragonist being dog-like in how he responds to the protagonist calling his name, getting talked about like a mad guard dog by the rival character, and even SMELLING IDENTICAL to the protagonist for no clear reason.

Then soulmate coded them with A and Un imagery.

Then have neither of them be close to any girls their age (that are still alive).

AND go so far as to make it clear that the deuteragonist sees the MC in the same way he saw the girl who set him on the right path.

And even though the MC rarely thinks about other characters, we just HAD to know that he wanted to become stronger for his deuteragonist's sake by becoming the "samurai" the guy said he needed.

And again, never interact with any girls in anywhere close to the same way.

They're in a fucking glass closet.

>>280497106
this is so old and it's still after demon slayer was out of the magazine

Nue is so irrelevant here you'd think it got axed. Guess all the fans got driven out. What's going on in Nue right now anyways?

>>280510294
Woman Punch isn't kino, author drove himself into a corner and perma hiatus'd the series.

>>280510294
I've heard some good stuff surrounding Ichi, yet to actually check it out though.

>>280503621
being comfy doesn't really sell manga. Nobody could possibly care about the plot or characters enough to be impatient for more

>>280510425
Just good art with boring characters besides the mc

>>280510425
Fantastic art, the arc that just wrapped up ended on an amazing note but the beginning's a bit rough. Desscaras absolutely carries everything until Gokuraku shows up.

>>280509734
You keep yelling 'it's Week 5' like that's some magical shield, but that's exactly the point, retard. Kokuhou is on Week 5 and it still had 60,000 fewer seats and 500 fewer screenings than Superman... and only pulled ahead by $500K on its best day. That's not a flex, that's Superman matching a domestic beast on its home turf with none of the local appeal. You said Superman would 'flop,' but guess what?
>$1.9M+ in two days
>#2 in the market
>Steady weekday-to-weekend hold
>Still has Sunday and beyond
>All while being a Western cape flick in a market that doesn't even care about superheroes
And you think this is some kind of L? You're bragging about Superman not demolishing an ultra-local cultural drama that's been milking press buzz for a month in its home country. That's like saying a Japanese art film 'mopped' Avatar 2 in the US because it beat it in Tokyo on a Thursday.
>look at the totals little bro
I am. Superman already locked $1.9M in two days and made $40M internationally in just two days post-Covid (for reference, Mugen Train made $49M with the Covid boost). You sure you want to compare totals when this thing has 10x the global reach (Superman is pacing $210M+ million opening weekend) and your temple cosplay rollout has to share screens with Jurassic World next month? Lol.

For how long has this retard been comparing Anime movies to American capeshit?

>>280510589
He's been at this for a worrying amount of time.

>>280510628

You can tell he's also the one doing every other consolewar shitting since it's stopped.

>>280510709
I think he's just mentally ill or something.

>>280510609
Nice to see he's not as heavy on the black ink anymore

>>280510589
>"w-why are you comparing anime to capeshit?"
Because your anime is trying to compete with capeshit, you dumbass. Demon Slayer isn't staying in its lane like a traditional anime IP. It's:
>getting IMAX rollouts
>launching in 150+ countries
>releasing in Q3/Q4 alongside Hollywood tentpoles
>tried to submit Mugen Train to the Academy Awards, trying to get the same prestige as Pixar and Warner Bros
>and doing red carpet premieres like it' a Marvel film
You don't get to cosplay as a blockbuster and then cry foul when you get judged like one.

If you want Demon Slayer to be treated like a niche fanservice movie, stop pretending it's a global box office juggernaut. But if you want to flex about its international rollout, IMAX strategy, and wide-screen dominance, then congrats. You've stepped into the same arena as Superman, Jurassic World, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool. And now it has to survive there.

I still won't forget the tme forget Mugen Train got embarrassed at the Oscars and laughed out the building when Aniplex tried to play that game. And now Infinity Castle is chasing the same validation, desperate for awards, desperate for box office dominance, and praying to the anime gods that Jurassic World doesn't eat its screens alive and a big blockbuster doesn't drop on September (aka dump month).

Demon Slayer wants to be global. But global comes with global competition. And when it gets beat by filler, by superheroes, or by a CGI dinosaur, it's not "unfair." It's reality.

Welcome to the big leagues, faggot. Now stop crying when the scoreboard isn't in your favor.

MISAKA IS A WOMAN?

This has always been about Japan and only Japan. Quit revising the narrative.

I search エキデンブロス on YouTube and everyone seem to talk shit on this series. I feel really sorry for author.

I love Hakuri Sazanami.

If there's no one able to defend him, I will give my life to make sure he's safe. If he cries, I will give him my shoulder. If he's lonely, he has my heart. If he's hurt, I will comfort him and kill his tormentors. If he's cold, I will give him my own clothes. If he's sleepy, I will tuck him in with a blanket and a sweet good night kiss.

I love Hakuri Sazanami so much that if his hands were broken I'd ride his dick instead of letting him suffer with blue balls. I'd give him a hand job, lick his cock up and down, gargle his balls, kiss his thighs, anything and everything he wanted to get those sweet little moans out of his mouth. I want him to know he's loved. He doesn't have to do a thing and I will give him the whole world if he wants it.

I will run my hands up and down his body and teach him pleasure like he's never known. All his scars will be kissed and caressed, every single inch of his skin will be tenderly licked, every hair on his head will be gently ruffled. He will know what it's like to be cherished for who he is. He will know true love at last.

I truly love... Hakuri Sazanami.

No. Are you? I mean, you're the one reading unironically badly written slops like Kagurabachi. I noticed a lot of ESLs love Kagurabachi, lol.
>>280511057
Lolno. It desperately wants to be a blockbuster, but that doesn't mean it is one. You’re confusing ambition with achievement. Mugen Train was lightning in a bottle during Covid when there was literally nothing else in theaters. It's been declining ever since:
>Swordsmith: soft numbers
>Hashira Training: outperformed in multiple regions by filler from a 'dead' franchise
>Infinity Castle: hiding behind IMAX and temple cosplay while avoiding the blockbuster bloodbath
Now they're spending more money on rollouts, premieres, screen counts, global launches and getting less ROI every time. Meanwhile, MHA didn't need to cosplay as a global juggernaut. No red carpet. No IMAX inflation. No temple LARPing. It just casually pulled $8.6M outside Japan, slapped Demon Slayer in the face with filler, and walked out.
>>280511102
You mean the 'caliber' that's afraid of releasing a new arc without shoving it into theaters first, while MHA is getting a full-blown Hollywood live-action movie with Legendary Pictures, directed by a guy and produced by a woman with actual global reach?

Yeah bro, great 'caliber' you got there. Demon Slayer's whole 'legacy' is on a 3-year countdown timer because once the anime ends, it vanishes like Attack on Titan hype. MHA still has new adaptations lined up after its anime ends, just like what happened with One Piece/Netflix, Naruto/Lionsgate and Dragon Ball/20th Century Fox. The Demon Slayer IP is in its final saga. MHA's just warming up.

So yeah, Demon Slayer got compared to blockbusters and now it's stuck in the same race and it's running out of gas fast.

>>280511454
Takeru's surprisingly not half bad at writing romance (yes I know the romance in Farewell Cherry Boy was fake, but still).

>Iori hijacking the story and becoming the new MC

>>280511545
Wonder how it'll happen in Kagurabachi. Chihiro doesn't seem interested in anyone right now and it's getting a bit late to introduce that kind of subplot.

>>280511607
She doesn't have much presence this arc, what are you talking about? This is still very much The Chihiro Show. At best she was a way to see Samura's backstory and empathize with him.

When THE FUCK are they gonna ban the faggot bringing up how the new superman movie performed in a /wsj/ thread?

>>280511813
He's been banned multiple times already, but he'll just switch IPs

>>280509185
This. We need filler manga like Kiyoshi. An easy, non pretentious, fun read. A comic, one might say.

>>280510944
>Why would anyone care about some shitty shonenslop movie for 10 year olds?
They don't. Aniplex did try to submit Mugen Train for Best Animated Feature at the 2021 Academy Awards though and it got laughed out of the room. Didn't make the shortlist. Didn't make the longlist. Didn't even get a sympathy nod like the French arthouse garbage that wins a jury award in Croatia.

And the copium that followed was hilarious.
>"It was too anime for the Oscars."
When that same year, the Academy gave the award to Soul, and even Wolfwalkers (an Irish indie film) got nominated. Why? Because those films had actual narrative craft, emotional maturity, and weren't just loud CGI tantrums built around breathing forms and crying siblings. It's like trying to enter a Hot Wheels car in a Formula 1 race and complaining when it doesn’t get a podium.

Demon Slayer is:
>paper-thin characters
>recycled plots
>screaming as dialogue
>flashbacks during fights that stall for runtime
>a 2.5-hour TV episode now getting shoved into cinemas
It's not cinema. It's franchise milking with sakuga glitter on top. Nothing wrong with that, just don't pretend it belongs in the same room as Miyazaki or Pixar. And absolutely don't cry when the Oscars treat it like what it is: shounen filler with an overinflated ego.

Nope. They never submitted Pokemon The First Movie and that film still had more emotional impact in 75 minutes than Mugen Train did in 117 flashbacks (Mewtwo is better written than 99.9% Jumpshit characters).

Am I the only one thats not happy about IF being 3 movies? If I want to rewatch it I have to pay for another movie ticket entirely, nevermind if there is a scene I enjoyed. Have to also wait an extra 2 months to see it as well behind nips.

>>280511707
>She doesn't have much presence this arc
She's had a good amount of attention after her introduction.
>At best she was a way to see Samura's backstory and empathize with him
Her relationship with Samura has obviously been her big thing this arc, but she's definitely sticking around. Even after he dies at the end of this arc.

Uruha is fujo bait, you can't deny that. The Kunishige simping, his bodyguard, his looks, the onsen. Hell, Hokazono even began baiting on xitter with his oddly suggestive Shiba doodles. Face it. Kagurabachi is for fujos.

>>280512671
Why is fujobait more common in WSJ than yuribait

>>280512697
You need to read Ichi, Kiyoshi, and Akane-banashi then.

You say there's no heroine spread but there's barely even a protagonist spread. There's no protagonists. Half the series are dying, already dead or stillborn.

>>280512484
She was completely sidelined after she showed Chihiro how to use IWPS and Samura ignoring her on purpose. She's there ONLY for her dad's story. If she sticks around, she'll be there for scouting with Tobimune and not much else most likely. Even Hakuri, Shiba, and Hiyuki get sidelined offscreen for months despite being marketed almost as much as Chihiro... there's no MC except Goldfish Batman himself.

Why is the retard obsessed with sales always, and I mean fucking always, a fucking my hero faggot?

Mugen Train outsold the entire BnHA movie franchise

>>280513446
>>280513326
wasn't Mugen train the most successful movie of 2020? Like globally? I'm pretty sure it dethroned Spirited Away even

Why is Kiyoshi so inferior to Nue as an exorcist manga according to Japan?

>>280513485
Yes. It beat Wonder Woman, Mulan, Sonic, and every other movie that year.

>>280510709
you know when fanboys attach their identity to a product and act as if every slight against said product is a personal attack? mix that with autism, schizophrenia and profound mental retardation. then make the product in question MY HERO ACADEMIA.
he has to defend it against everything that threatenes it. in this case kimetsu selling gangbusters, he can't have that, so he copes it secretly did worse and whatever achievement it got "didn't count".
then his schizophrenia makes him imagine everyone calling him is a retard is actually a seething kimetsu fan.
he is behind like 30% of the board's posts, the guy is profoundly mentally ill

>>280513275
>w-why are MHA fans obsessed with box office?
First off, you're genuinely retarded. Second, you're a third worlder. Third, I bring up box office because you Demon Slayer faggots made it the measuring stick first. Y'all were the ones posting "Mugen Train ichiban worldwide 2020!!" like it was the Second Coming. But now that the IP's limping with recap movie numbers and losing international screens to filler, suddenly you want to pivot the convo to !b-but manga sales!! or !muh culture!!

Box office is the arena you brought this fight to, faggot. You can't cry foul just because your guy's getting dunked on now.
>Mugen Train outsold the entire BnHA movie franchise
During the most dead theater year in modern history, when all Hollywood blockbusters were delayed, and Japan was one of the few countries where cinemas were open, Mugen Train got a freak uncontested victory lap. It was literally competing with Tom & Jerry and Tenet reruns internationally.

That's like winning a race because you were the only one who showed up, then bragging about your speed. And that 'success' was followed by:
>a steep drop-off with Swordsmith Village,
>a recap movie (Hashira Training) needing IMAX and still losing half the world to MHA filler
>and now a 3-part finale that's releasing across Q3 and Q4 just to duck competition.
If your franchise peaked during a pandemic, that's not domination, that's a fluke.
>Did you miss it outselling the entire comic book industry and setting the record for fastest selling volumes in one year?

>>280513446
>Did you miss it outselling the entire comic book industry and setting the record for fastest selling volumes in one year?
Oh yes, please compare a thriving 20-volume manga series to an American comic market that's been flatlining since the 1980s. Most comics are sold in boutique shops in dying malls. Marvel and DC barely even care about comics anymore, they're just IP incubators for the movies and TV shows: the real money makers.

Speaking of which: Across the Spider-Verse made $690M worldwide with a $100M budget. That's more than Japan's entire yearly box office. One animated black Spidey movie out-earned every movie in Japan combined for 2023. So shut the hell up about 'comics vs manga.' You’re comparing a broken faucet to the Niagara Falls of Hollywood profit margins, rofl.
>>280513326
>so you admit kny is in the big leagues now?
Yes. And that's your problem.

You got your IMAX. You got your global rollout. You begged for awards. You chased MCU-level premieres. You got your Hollywood-level screen counts. Guess what? Now you get judged by blockbuster rules.

And when you flop outside Japan? You don't get to retreat into the 'b-but it’s anime' bubble anymore. MHA didn't ask for this, Demon Slayer did. Your series picked a fight with the biggest boys in the sandbox, and now it's out of breath while movies like Superman and Jurassic World are showing up to eat.

You wanted to be in the race. Now run, faggot.
>>280513485
>I'm pretty sure it dethroned Spirited Away even
For one year. On paper. In a vacuum. Where half the global box office was literally shut down. Spirited Away had:
>no IMAX.
>no global event release
>no Covid boost.
>no filler-milking rollout plan.
It earned that spot over decades of prestige and legacy (Spirited Away won an Oscar, something MT wanted). Meanwhile, Mugen Train is already irrelevant outside Japan and Demon Slayer's brand is already showing steep decay in international markets. YouTube trailer views won't fix that.

>>280513851
Might do alright to boost volume sales if it gets a low budget adaptation, which is possible since it's Rakugo. As long as the direction's on point they can get away with limited animation.

>>280513954

>>280514065
It was foreshadowed forever ago since the scars were a metaphor for Samura's mental blocks/blindness due to fear and anxiety. They were always going to be healed because of course Chihiro wouldn't fail in dispensing HOPE.

>>280514065
*this shit is so kino

>>280514095
>Gets his HOPE back, wants to LIVE again, and is reunited with Iori only to die a few hours later

>>280514186
It must happen, Samura's too OP to keep as an ally. We only need to question how it will happen.

RIP DILFs they're not allowed to live for long in this series.

Enough time has passed.

>>280514222
>We only need to question how it will happen
I'm leaning towards him dying saving everyone after El Hermano escapes containment and gets his hands on Magatsumi, he's probably gonna be flower food.

I still think that pinky promise is what's gonna get Samura

>>280514330
Very possible, let him have a heroic last stand to save the kids and Uruha or something. I think the pinky promise pact with Yura will come into play somehow too, or else it was completely useless to show it off in chapter 59.

>>280513557
First off, you're a retard. Second, Yes, Mugen Train was #1 in 2020. But you know what else happened in 2020?
>James Bond got delayed
>Top Gun got delayed
>Fast and Furious got delayed
>Dune got delayed
>Batman got delayed
>every Marvel movie got pulled
>China locked down theaters
>the US domestic box office was a corpse.
Demon Slayer "beat" Wonder Woman 1984, Mulan, and Sonic in 2020 but so did literally *staying home*. That's not dominance, that's surviving a ghost town. This is like bragging you won a 100m dash because everyone else had Covid. Mugen Train didn't win a race, it ran alone. There's a reason why they're avoiding competition now.

Third, Mugen Train was an anomaly, not a trend. Look at the follow-up trajectory:
>Swordsmith Village Arc: domestic only win, struggled globally
>Hashira Training: IMAX gimmick + recap = got slapped by MHA filler internationally.
And then there's Infinity Castle:
>hiding behind temple LARP premieres and IMAX saturation to manufacture buzz
>it's skipping summer blockbusters and praying for open Q3 real estate
>it drops in September that's widely regarded as a dump month because Oct-Dec is a meat grinder and Zootopia 2/Avatar 3 will absolutely eat it alive
That's not confidence, that's strategic fear. If your franchise peaked during global lockdown and everything after that is progressively smaller, that's called decline.

>>280514387
>>280514454
Were we ever told specifically what will happen if he breaks the pinky promise? If not it's possible it won't kill him directly but fuck him over in a way that'll get him killed while he's fighting El Hermano.

>>280514529
We don't know what it does other than enforce the pact that was made somehow, and that it's "unbreakable". So pretty much anything could happen.

>>280514095
ok but the art is fucking shit

>>280514632
I'm sorry you can't appreciate healthy older men with meat on their bones, Anon.

>>280514581
>So pretty much anything could happen.
>He gets turned into a crow and sticks around as a talking bird for the rest of the series

>>280513972
Fourth, Infinity Castle isn't breaking any records.
>Jurassic World Rebirth drops in August
That’s a guaranteed screen killer, and it already made $409M in just 10 days and it's still growing. Jurassic World is one of the few Western IPs that consistently performs well in Japan. Infinity Castle will not survive that IMAX turf war. Period.

Then there's the Fantastic Four: First Steps that will also get IMAX priority (Toho aren't playing favorites) and it has a perfect runtime of 1h55m which is something theaters prefer over a bloated runtime of 2h35m (cinemas dislike long movies) because a longer movie means fewer showings per day means equals lesser revenue potential. This "Infinity Castle will obliterate records” claim is pure copium. The only thing it'll obliterate is Aniplex's marketing budget when they realize nostalgia and IMAX can't carry recycled content anymore.

Fifth, you still don't get that the game has changed. Mugen Train winning 2020 is like Blockbuster Video topping VHS rentals in 1999. Cool stat, bro. It’s meaningless now. Meanwhile:
>MHA just smacked Demon Slayer in multiple international territories with a smaller screen count and zero fanfare
>Superman is pulling $200M+ globally its opening weekend
>Jurassic World Rebirth has box office legs lined up across China, US, Latin America, and Europe.
And then there's Demon Slayer who has to fight for relevance outside Japan while slowly exhausting its content pipeline.

Sixth, CSM is still garbage (Part 2 is REALLY ass). It barely has the structure for a global box office run, let alone the audience, lmao.
>it's not family-friendly
>it's vulgar, pornographic, niche, unpolished, and aggressive in tone
>it's R-rated with vomit kisses, that turns general audiences off
Look Back made $12M and had critical buzz in Japan. CSM might have a loud fandom, but not a broad one. Realistic box office for CSM? $30M-50M total. Maybe $10-20M domestic (Japan), $20-30M international if it goes wide.

>>280514750

Desscaras and her rival/friend Togeice have a long history with each other, even call each other by cute nicknames they've only used with each other. One of those "I respect your skill even though we're complete opposites that annoy each other" type of relationships. And they do genuinely care for each other underneath the irritation.

Kiyoshi's really standard onsen fanservice with Mako groping Akari's boobs then the two of them singing karaoke together.

>>280516855

By the time KGB is over he'll have so much cash he'd be able to retire but he won't and instead will continue to deliver kino.

>>280517198
>If its tied to the anime it'll def only go up to the rakuzaichi
I imagine it's this, even when limited to Vs. Sojo, Rakuzaichi, and the first half of SBAA they've still got plenty of options.

>>280517225
They literally had practice with Hikaru. And KGB is bigger

Suzuki is just too used to the humiliation already

>>280517274
Its not just characters, there'll be cards for locations, abilities and items

>>280517300

Magatsumi card too OP, plz nerf.

How many episodes do we expect from KGB season 1?

>>280517335
The standard 2 cour, what else would it be? It literally has enough chapters for 25 episodes

Make a /kgb/ general, you fucking trash

>>280517335
Assuming they don't go full retard like with CSM

Should be 25/26 episodes.They could split it up if they feel like it since that's the new trend for some reason

>>280517225
Sakamoto's Vaundy opening is weirdly his only mediocre anime song
It's so weird

>>280517335
2 cour, vs. Sojo and Rakuzaichi arcs

They can pad for time if needed by extending the action scenes or including some downtime that wasn't shown in the manga.

>>280517377

At the time of Chihiro's arrest and Uruha's escape(SBA Arc begins). Similar to JJK formula.

>>280517456
Such as? The only one coming close is Silent Witch's

>>280517470
No one cares

>>280517427
Leaving off on Chihiro and Hakuri setting out to meet Uruha would probably be good, then the Samurabachi arc can be a season by itself.

>>280517470
That's barely episode 18 even if you insert SoL Char filler scenes

>>280513823
There are no men in the modern age

>>280517487
You are kidding right? There's ALOT better. You could just pick one random show and it's more than likely better than the hikaru op

Reposting this again to compare what JJK got

>Sojo: 18 chapters
>Kyora: 25 chapter
>Sword Bearer: Incoming 40 chapters soon and still counting

Gonna compare this to JJK just because....

>Fearsome Womb: 18 chapters
>Mahito: 13 chapters
>Kyoto Goodwill: 23 chapters
>Death Painting: 10 chapters
This is what S1 covered

>>280517509
Shut the fuck up

>>280517538
Kagurabachi chapters are way more dense than JJK chapters

>>280517470
>>280517509
Yeah, but ending it on Samura's betrayal, Uruha's death, and Chihiro's death would make for one hell of a cliffhanger.

>>280517537

>In the same vein, tries to keep things grounded but also have characters with supernatural abilities like ESP and luck manipulation
>The current arc of Sakamoto "dying" except for Shin's intervention is fake drama

It feels like the author still has ideas for action scenes but has no idea where he wants to take the story. So we get a bunch of random shit happening and it looks cool but who cares about the plot any more?

>>280517732
Yofukashi's 1st OP was experimental. 2nd OP is clearly "I can't top the 1st so let's make something nonsensical so our fans slurp it up and excuse us from making something worse". It's fucking horrendous and doesn't fit the series.
Ruri's Rocks is a whimsical SoL anime about rocks that gets a generic OP that you'd hear in a fantasy isekai how is that soulful lmao

>>280517668
I would also doubt too though
>Goes for the reborn effect but the serious aspect of the gag side doesn't correlate well. Say what you want about reborn but it took its sweet time setting up the characters and plot
