Realistically, which anime character could appear next in the Thanksgiving parade in the future?
>>284070802whoever pays them for it
>>284070802No, seriously, how the fuck did this series that was the most bullied and looked down upon among The Big 3 in the west become this popular?
>>284070802Maybe characters from pokemon.
>>284072225Pikachu and Eevee have been in it for years.
>>284070802Gundam? Maybe, if Bamco ever got their thumbs out of their assEvery other popular IP just doesn't work>Demon Slayer, JJK, DandadanToo violent and horny for burger tastes>Naruto, BleachToo realistic to clash with the other balloons>Precure, Doraemon, Shin ChanToo niche in the west>Sailor MoonNeeds a proper revival Not, saying none of these couldn't happen, I never thought One Piece or Dragon Ball would ever get balloons, but I don't think it'll happen anytime soon.
>>284070802Anya?
>>284070802kagurabachi
>>284070802Him
>>284072370There's been chibi Naruto and Ichigo float if I'm not mistaken maybe not in thanksgiving but elsewhere
>>284072477See >>284072264
Hamtaro back in its glory days, maybe.
>>2840719412010's toei anime got better in animation and OP got a boost, plus good dub and sub so no relying on 4kids tier translation.Plus the manga in general got more interesting for many post timeskip, that's where the worldbuilding meme originates really from.
>>284072499I suppose a chibi Naruto could work, might take some tweaking, but it could be done
>>284072507Charizard is pretty much the third mascot of Pokemon, gotta complete that trio
>>284072615Pokemon is already plenty represented. They don't need another balloon
>>284072542Does the live action factor in?
>>284072642Yes. They even shilled the Netflix show today.
>>284072638>>284072477Technically, that's a video game franchise, not anime.
>>284072657Repulsive
>>284071941Naruto and Bleach fizzled out, more people picked up One Piece and realized it wasn't half bad.
>>284070802Goku was there this year.
>>284072778He looked sad, too.
>>284071941Because it's the only remaining one and all modern battle shonen is even worse
>>284070802
>>284072778Goku's been there since 2018
>>284073234>Based and redpilledAll burgers belong in >>>/pol/
>>284070802FRIEREN
>>284072659Speaking of which Mario and Pac-Man got balloons
>>284073066Probably the best answer
>>284071941Bleach and Naruto ended. People started reading Juan Piss because there wasn't anything else.
>>284071941What the others said, plus Couff left people with a LOT of time on their hands. Enough to say, watch/read a series that had a daunting episode countPlus Zoomers weren't tainted by 4Kids One Piece like Late Gen Z/Early Millennials
>>284071941same reason dbz got so popular. Brown people and 3rd worlders
>>284074203Brown people and 3rd worlders HATED One Piece because it doesn't look like Naruto and Bleach. I would know, I lived in a country chock full of them.
>>284070802It's a holiday celebrating one of the largest genocides in history, so it should be Frieren.
>>284071941>The Big 3 in the west become this popular?>the westthat's the answer
>>284072370>Sailor Moon and Precure>Not Cardcaptor Sakura, the superior Mahou ShoujoFuck off Toei shill!
>>284075645We're talking about anime that could potentially be advertised to the west anon. CCS is better, but it's not more well known than either
>>284070802Is this the first time Luffy's gomu gomu no fuusen has appeared at the Macy's parade?
>>284076047Nah, he's been here for two years now
>>284076047If you mean the one in OP’s pic, this it’s third year in the parade.
I never see kids on the street playing one piece. they either play batman, spider-man or goku.one piece's popularity is so fake
>>284075687>CCS is better, but it's not more well known than eitherYes it is, it’s the most famous and well-regarded Magical Girl series in all of Asia.
>>284070802>Labubu got a float before any other anime other than the shonen big 3 and PokémonDid the chinks win?
>>284071941>most bullied and looked down upon among the Big 3Only in the US was one piece not acknowledged as a masterpiece in the beginning. The rest of the world always recognized that it was above the rest of the three. In countries with a big comic book culture and market, such as Italy and France, one piece was always extremely popular and it stayed so to this days.Please stop thinking that the experience you had in your corner of the world corresponds to that of everybody else.
>>284070802Anya and Bond or Frieren. It's gotta be one of the huge, family-friendly new gens.
>>284076728>Asia >parade in the USSee the problem here
>>284078428CCS is also the most popular and well-regarded Magical Girl property in the West as well.
>>284078428>SpyxFamily>”Family Friendly”It has typical creepy otaku weeb tropes with Yuri being a brocon and the lolicon pandering Becky.
>>284078494>Yuri being a brocon*siscon I meant
>>284071941>most bullied and looked down upon among The Big 3when
>>284073943This is all there is to it but people will come up with all kinds of nonsense theories.
>>284071941>Naruto and Ichigo are chosen ones and Luffy is just a regular strong guy>Naruto and Bleach are beloved in the west while One Piece is seen as a joke>Luffy is revealed to be Pirate Jesus and therefore the most special big 3 protagonist>suddenly, One Piece picks up steam in the westCoincidence? I think not!
>>284078455>CCS is popular in the westAnon...
I could see demon slayer showing up >>284072370It really isn’t that violent front to back like 8 named human beings die
>>2840719414kids dub gimped its popularity and reputation in the anglosphere early on.Even when it started getting good translations, the length made it too intimidating for most people to start.Then corona happened and people had nothing but time and realized that it's actually pretty good.
>>284070802Chiikawa, Usagi, Hachiware and the big chimera.
>>284079454>CCS isn’t popular in the WestIt was part of the Millenial anime boom of the 90’s and early 00’s and aired on Kids WB alongside Pokémon and Yugioh zoom-zoom.
>>284070802Horze pussy
>>2840786742000-2015It was picked up then canceled twice on american tv due to shit ratings
>>284080829yet bleach was canceled for 10 years in japan while it one piece kept going
>>284070802Anything Rumic, though Lum probably makes the most sense for an iconic float.
>>284073254Kekarro
>Pac-Man finally gets in the parade>Pac-Man World 2 music playing on national television>Broadcaster calls Pac-Man World 2 "one of the most popular games of all time"God it feels so good to be a Pac-Man fan right now.
>>284070802K-Pop Demon Hunters
>>284082306Technically they had that this year.
>>284074203I hate how spics have co-opted Dragon Ball. White people love Dragon Ball too we just can't talk about it online anymore because all of its threads have been completely unusable for a decade.
>>284083423Hood weebs co-opted shonen in general, it’s now seen as the normie anime genre because of them.
>>284082220I love they're just ignoring that edgy spin-off they tried to make thng now
>>284080628It's known, but it's nowhere near as popular in the west as it is Japan. And the kind of thing to make it parade worthy, make me think it wouldn't be worth it
>>284083475I mean, it always was to be fair, at least relatively speaking
>>284079552Still too violent for burger standards, every movie has gotten an R rating despite being no different from the series
>>284073066decvck would never make it lmao
>>284083475Shonen is definitely the normalfag anime genre but sometimes it's still good
>>284083536And good riddance. Although it was stupid, not edgy.
>>284083475>Hood we-Niggers. You mean to say niggers, anon
>>284071941It was always going to happen eventually when your the biggest manga in Japan that is still going strong way past its peers. Eventually the west is going to catch on and move past days of looking at it as "goofy shit".
>>284070802One Piece is the last big manga ever.Back in the day, unless you were a hardcore anime fan, you'd hear about a manga once it became big enough to have an anime or something.For example, a game like D.O.N Battle Stadium (Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece), was only released in Japan (2006).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLBqDx7gREwNowadays, a manga comes out, everyone knows about it since day 1 around the world.And said mangas don't last long, despite the popularity meme of some surpassing the biggest manga for a year or something like that.JJK, Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, they barely lasted.And the internet is not going to go away, so that era of long lasting, cultural landmark mangas that last decades (Dragon Ball, One Piece) seems over.The Ghost of One Piece and Dragon Ball, will last longer than any manga that comes after them.
>>284072370I get Ichigo being too realistic, but If Goku can appear I don't think Naruto is all that far fetched.
>>284083780It can be both. Frankly, I have no idea why they thought it was a good idea in the first place. If they wanted their own Metroid, they could've just made a new Baraduke
>>284083963Naruto leans more the realistic side with Ichigo, but as another anon said, a chibi Naruto might work.
>>284083969Ohhhhhh, that one. I thought you meant that shitty Ghostly Adventures CG cartoon.
>>284084039Pretty sure that's been properly buried never to be touched again. Still funny how that attempt blew up in their face too. This seems to happen a lot with Pac-Man, trying to reinvent him because they don't know what to do with him, they got it right with Pac-Man World, it shouldn't have taken them this long to realize that's the version people like
>>284070802Gundam, it's finally starting to breakthrough in the west and it's the most popular it's been in years.
>>284084181It has? I mean there's G-Witch, but what the fuck else did they do get the west's attention?
>>284082220>one of the most popular games of all timeI laughed at that B.S.
>>284084205Netflix is making a live action movie. Eventually. Probably.
>>284073066Everyone would rather have All Might.
>>284084205Qgucks also seemed to grab the attention of westerners and like other anon said there's a movie that's been in production for a while now. Wing also had a huge celebration recently which was very popular with americans.
>>284072460kagurabachi shillers have the most willpower and faith of all the jews i've ever seen, holy fuck
>>284070802Ranma, a non gen 1 Pokemon (most likely Lucario), or Deku (MHA is polarizing but its still a world shaping shonen).
give him a balloon NOW
soon
>>284085135But he is a balloon.
>>284085663yes, but he deserves to be given a balloon
>>284084205SEED
>>284072370>GundamLol, Gundam is the most mismanaged anime IP in America. Half of the series are not on streaming and the blu rays are all over $100 now.
>>284070802Surprised no one has said the obvious with Ghibli, specifically a Totoro float. In fact, I’m even more surprised it hasn’t been done yet.
>>284070802Saber
>>284084225Listening to it again it seems like they actually said "their"Dunno if they're referring to just the Pac-Man franchise or Bandai Namco in general, but the former definitely seems more believable.
>>284083536I fully believe Shadow Labyrinth was a flop so they're going all-in on marketing Re-Pac 2 to get eyes away from that embarrassment and to get back the money they lost on SL's marketing campaign
>>284080926Hence why the original post said "in the west".
>>284084225OG Pac-Man is still one of the most normiecore arcade games. Even people who never played videogames in their life assume know Pac-Man.
>>284071941Shitflix
>>284080628Only in its butchered dub form. And even then it was never as heavily promoted as Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh were. Whatever popularity it had in the west, and unlike One Piece it never had a proper redub for normalfags to latch onto during covid.
>>284086568I will only accept the Riyo version.
>>284087650>And even then it was never as heavily promoted as Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh were.Sure, it’s still the most famous and well-renowned Magical Girl series though.
>>284070802If I were a balloonist designing and picking these things, I'd go for Oguri Cap and stake my career on it, because Uma Musume is innocent, cute, and bringa together anime fans and sportsfags alike, it could work.Too bad you'll never catch me sticking my head in the cesspit of NYC nowadays.
>>284070802Boomer relic. Nothing good in NYC
>>284088355Just not in Burgerland, which is what this thread is about.
>>284088785>Just not in BurgerlandYes it is, name a Magical Girl anime more famous than CCS in America.
>>284089122Sailor MoonMadoka Magica
>>284070802Conan on the skateboard
>>284070802how come Naruto or Clorox never had a balloon, i thought it was more popular in the west.
>>284089463Toei money
>>284089122Sailor Moon by far due to the 90s dub and the later Toonami run it had, with Madoka coming in second because it was what broke Burgerland's idea that magical girl shows were all Sailor Moon clones. So now most of Burgerland either funnels magical girl shows into being clones of each.
>>284070802No idea but probably the thing thats most popular and profitable enoughI want a baloon of getter robo 1 so he can detonate and blow up new yorkBased Musashi wills it
>>284089856so big 2 Naruto and Clorox don't make enough money huh?
>>284090339More like Pierrot isn't as MEGA HUGE a company as Toei.
>>284070802Rapeman from the hit anime Rapeman.
>>284088572Anime is definitely too niche, but if we take into account the gacha is popular even among normalfags and older dudes who aren't even into anime, it doesn't sound that crazy.I'd go with the cute chibi version though. It already even looks like a small baloon.
>>284071941It's not popular, it's just pushed.
>>284091250Sell me on your anime, anon.
>>284070802Cattleya from Queen's Blade. Just imagine
>>284086520Miyazaki would rather burn everything to the ground himself than let any one of his creations be used for something like this
>>284086520the last time normalfags cared about Ghibli was two decades ago, granpda
>>284091303It's a real anime OVA series involving a guy who dresses as a superhero going around and raping female villains in the most public and humiliating way possible.
>>284077865
>>284091299Hasn't it actually been losing popularity the past few years? Manga volume sales were falling off in some charts that got posted here
