Seriously, what makes something like Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho or Inuyasha popular, but series like Kishin Douji Zenki, Ninkuu or Honoo no Rekka obscure?

living in burgerland, zenki is really popular in latin america also the fact that the creator based zenki on GT''s goku was a huge popularity and sales boost also the opening was awesome.

accessibility and entertainment value is what makes something popular
although these days you can force it with marketing a la industry plants
Zenki author died and the story will always be unfinished
Ninku characters are ugly
Rekka is Sunday YYH ripoff similar to Yaiba and DBZ
