>Yeah. The anime made those designs sellable
Those moves have to come from a source, anon. If making them sellable by pure animation was all you needed. God Eater by Ufotable should also be a pillar of the industry, and it isn't.
>Gotouge can't even draw fucking ears or eyes in perspective.
Isayama can't draw for shit either, and that didn't stop SNK from being popular. You also have ONE over there.
>What actual arcs of struggle, conflict, or evolving dynamics do they share?
They have a lot of them, like when Gyuutaro and his sister served as mirror relationships, but you are gonna say that doesn't count and it is shit. So yeah...
>The nicest cardboard cutout of a protagonist.
On his first encounter with Genya, he breaks his arm. Anon, have you watched the show without SEETHING googles? I think that's the problem.
>and the timing was off.
This sounds like a simple and cheap excuse at this point. Toriko had DB and One Piece by its side, colossal titles. OP at that point had shit animation, the same with DB Super first arcs, and that didn't stop them from being giant.
>And Chainsaw Man still sold gangbusters without the anime
And how are the sales nowadays? Ok.
>you need the perfect storm.
And nothing that Gotouge made prior had a say on it? Storywriting? Character design and power system? Hmmm?
>It just didn’t have Ufotable's Unlimited Budget Works
Talking about UBW, why didn't the anime gain that DS traction? Same studio and battle composition? Come on anon, give Gotouge the merit.
>KnY is the OPN S1 of its time
Styill dind't reach DS levels of popularity
>you're defending a product launch not a legacy because it has no real legacy.
Since you can see the future, give me the lottery numbers anon, pretty please.
