/a/ is a HxH board, HxH will alwyas be the only accepted Jump manga here because it's kino, nothing more, nothing less, while Berserk moves to irrelevancy in just the span of a week until the next chapter comes out because it's forgettable shonenshit like those series in your pic, HxH is always there at the catalog without releasing anything.

let me iterate. just because i like rubbing it in anons faces:
>bleach
the punching bag of /a/ for years and years makes the biggest comeback in anime history with an anime that literally made pierrot restructure their anime production, with record viewership, huge unanimous acclaim, restores the manga, and oh yeah cancelled boruto.
>aot
dune tier of mainstream adoration, considered one of the best works of fiction in decades, meanwhile /a/ is obsessed with character shipping after no one shared your sentiment about how the ending supposedly sucked.
>mha
im going to be honest i don't even bother with mha threads anymore since they are crawling with aging db fans lamenting their youth or something, oh yeah flooded with shipping nonsense i don't follow as well.
>csm
dude it flooped. and it didn't.
>jjk
/a/ swears up and down NO ONE CARES ANYMORE. 10 million views in 24 hours. that must have hurt.

>bleach
The laughing stock of the Big 3, it's so ass that not only did the manga get cancelled but so did the anime and got replaced by Rock Lee and His Jobber Pals that got higher ratings than Bleach
>aot
Only became popular because it came out in the middle of the zombie apocalypse fad. Tomino saw right through Isayama from day 1 when he said AoT was nothing more but "a work some good-for-nothing bullied kid wrote to vent his anger." See how it got already almost completely erased from the NPCs minds even though the movie came out like... a year ago? Two years ago? And they shilled it for so long.
>mha
Only became popular because it came out shortly after Naruto ended and Jump was desperately looking for a Naruto replacement. Porn will be its legacy.
>csm
Lost 60% of its readers and manga sales continue to sink to an all-time low. A cautionary tale of what happens when your series is run by shock value.
>jjk
60% of the fanbase fucked off after the manga ended. The whole series is driven by hype, shock value, “aura farming”, cool one-liners, and fights beefed up by the anime keeping this slop on life-support.
>kimetsu
Recency bias. Single-handedly carried by the anime that's fueled by mass hysteria and FOMO. Will just be another one of those forgotten bestsellers 5 years down the line. When the anime ends, the franchise dies. Won't even have 10% of Naruto, Dragon Ball or Death Note's staying power.

Case in point. Slops like JJK come and goes, nobody will remember any of those 30 years from now. Is this slop gonna reach the worldwide heights of DB or Naruto? Never. Does it even have Death Note's incredible staying power? No.

it's shounen. it's no accident /a/ mainly focuses on romance shipping which is like 0.1% of the actual stories because they can't connect to shounen themes. shounen is supposed to excite you and make you work out or be active and do things.

Just about all of them start very strong and then either meander off into mediocrity or completely shit the bed on the ending.

Asking if something will be remembered in 10/20/30 years is peak cowardice. Address the point directly rather than asking stupid time travel questions.

Honestly, KnY is way better as a manga. The anime’s pacing is awful and it goes way overboard with forced tear-jerker stuff, totally killing what made the manga great.
Ufotable is only good at animation and music but their writing and directing are awful.

>being the inciting event so the strengths of the manga would be introduced to everyone
The anime and manga are two completely different products. Demon Slayer is as wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle. The story is nothing out of the ordinary, it's just another generic demon hunting story that's a dime among dozen. Even a child child could come up with a premise as simple as that, because it's literally "Kill the Demon King" and that's what the characters do. It's a series with an empty world, paper-thin characters, no plot twists, zero intrigue. It has nothing that makes it stand out compared to the Big 3, DB, Death Note, YYH/HxH, JoJo or Kenshin. Even compared to other manga of its time like JJK, MHA and CSM, Demon Slayer is an utterly unremarkable manga with no special or interesting qualities.

The only reason why people put it next to any of those works is because of how much it sold and not its artistic merits, all in large part thanks to Ufotable's god-tier presentation. There's a reason why the trash manga underperformed for 3 full years until Ufotable saved its ass. The manga is littered with bad art, horrible paneling and amateurish composition that makes the manga hard to follow and that's without going into details about the poor writing and how things conveniently happen in a specific moment in a specific time so the author can get the desired outcome. It would be nothing without Yuichi Terao's signature compositing and Nozomu Abe's sakuga mesmerizing normalfags who just got into anime during COVID lockdowns. Anytime people complain about the show, it's the author's bad writing and boring characters.

So when people say, "I like Demon Slayer", they don't mean they like Demon Slayer by Koyoharu Gotouge who really had not much to do with its success. They mean they like Demon Slayer by Ufotable, who turned an otherwise unremarkable manga into a completely different product.
>highest per-volume sales in history btw

>>281964652
>bait-and-switch
Not gonna work. And Infinity Flashback is currently at $294M (FX fixes!).

Btw, Dragon Ball dwarfs Demon Slayer in actual historical sales. Shueisha lowballs DB because it makes everyone look pathetic that people still prefer a manga that ended 30 years ago over whatever new slop Jump churns out like the slop machine it is. DB is eternal, Demon Slayer is a moment. And as history proves time and again, slops comes and goes. It's just a part of life.

Miyazaki doesn't care about Japanese capeshit.
>Q: "Do you watch Kimetsu no Yaiba?"
>Miyazaki: "I don’t watch it. I don’t watch much of anything else either. I don’t watch TV, I don’t watch movies. I’m just a retired old man picking up trash."

>Q: "And when they mention Spirited Away no longer being Japan’s #1 box office film?"
>Miyazaki: "I couldn't care less. The world is always inflating nonsense. (More importantly), I have to pick up trash."
He also won two Oscars. Something Kimetsu never will. Didn't even get nominated when Aniplex tried to submit Migen Train. They want Hollywood so bad when Hollywood doesn't even want them.
>>
>>281967400
>No one gives a shit
You can cope as much as you want, Aniplex trying to sneak their slop into the Oscars says another story lmao. Kimetsu CLEARLY cares about the Oscars and they DESPERATELY want validation from Hollywood when Hollywood don't care about them.

Watching The Boy and the Heron win Best Animated Feature in 2024 without a single trailer, no promo, and zero pandering, while Kimetsu throws every dollar and CGI explosion it can at voters and still gets snubbed? Man oh man, that's gotta sting. Can't wait to see them get snubbed the second time, kek.
>>281967402
FX fixes, learn it~

That $300M figure nerds celebrated early actually went down to $294M on The Numbers lol.
>>
>>281967748
Didn't say that. I said exchange rates are fluctuating and the longer Japan runs this movie (which they will, they're THAT shameless lol) the more it's susceptible to FX fixes and its final numbers might look lower since Japan are carrying it.

Still no Oscar nomination by the way. Won't even make it to the shortlist. Man oh man, Miyazaki must have really hit a nerve on Kimetsu that it could win with no marketing and no shilling from Sony Music. Mamoru Hosoda might cuck it too kek.

Case in point. Kimetsu will never have Death Note's god-tier staying power or be anywhere near DB, Naruto or One Piece's legacy and influence. Anime made it famous and when the anime dies, the series will die
>>
>>281968887
Naruto is dead and laughed at by anyone who isn't gay, retarded and black. When JJK is fully animated it will be more watched than Bleach or Naruto. It's way shorter, better animated and not as cringe. Demon Slayer will also be bigger than Bleach or Naruto. Only OP and DB are bigger.
>>
>>281969046
>Naruto is dead
Most watched anime on Netflix. Anime ended 10 years ago, so did the manga and it still outperforms everything that's out today. JJK isn't even on the list and Kimetsu got beat by Sakamoto Days

They're bigger than Bleach but who cares about Bleach lol

Not those specific examples but yes, absolutely. There was a period of several months about 2 years ago where /lit/ became borderline unusable when it came to anything that was remotely associated with Christianity, which is a pretty big chunk of literature as you can imagine, due to a handful of shitposters who just absolutely had to inform all the "christcucks" of their hostile opinions.
