Why has nobody heard of Ushio to Tora?
>>
>>287632158
>>
it was discussed a bit on /a/ back when it aired
>>
the mangaka is well known here

Megumi Hayashibara's best role. Actually menacing

Wait this is just Naruto isn't it

I watched this 6 years ago and remember absolutely nothing except for that scene where the guy forges himself into a spear or something like that.

It was pretty damn boring

>>287632158
Is it as good as Souboutei?
>>
>>287632158
The main character is cute but only when his hair is long. He looks boring with short hair.
>>
>>287632158
It came out before anime/manga was mainstream.
>>
>>287636363
2016?
>>
>>287637140
1990 to 1996? Are you retarded?
An anime series 2 decades after it ended isn't enough to pull it out of obscurity
>>
So where are those Silver Mountain chapters?
>>
I read the manga years ago. That's how i got hooked on Fujita's works
>>
>>287632158
Only real men watch real manga like this.
/a/ is on its f/a/g Era.
>>
>>287632158
It's in the unfortunate circumstance where the anime is too old for the seasonal crowd, but not old enough to be posted in retro threads.

I think it's as >>287636363 and >>287638210 say.
It exists in an awkward time where it's overshadowed both by what came before it and what came after it.

Also imo the anime adaptation isn't very good. They make Ushio look like some weird hairy caveman, whereas in the manga he's very attractive

I really like the fashion of this era of anime.
Main characters felt much more masculine while still clearly being boys. Without needing to be literally Kenshiro.
Not really sure what it is exactly, but anime protagonists today are so unmasculine.
>>
>>287638946
Well, at the very least Fujita is still making manga.
>>
>>287632158
i loved it
>>
Why did Silver Mountain scanlations die out? Is it because it was isekai?
>>
>>287632158
The 1st opening lives rent free in my head
I randomly listen to it
>>
This anime kicked fucking ass.

>>287632158
Somehow I see more discussion of Souboutei Must Be Destroyed than of Ushio and Tora when the latter is supposed to be the author's big hit. Not that I mind Souboutei discussion that series was perfect. Ushio and Tora is good but not perfect like Souboutei. I might have to give that Karakuri series a chance.
>>287642331
The OP sold me on it.

Particularly the part with the freaky green flying yokai.

Wish more Fujita works would get anime adaptions. How we got Ushio and TOra and Karakuri Circus adaptions so many years later is beyond me.
What I wouldn't give for a Black Museum anime.

Seems like it's a victim of being picked up by a group that ignores half of the projects they pick up after a few chapters and some random guy that got bored after a while.
>>
The remake weekly threads were nice. Also, read the manga, it's great.

Which one? There was like 5 of them. Series was raining tomboys halfway in.

I did
Hakumen no mono left a big mark in the medium
Just because the remake anime aired in a bad time and was like jojos, in the regard that the story is old and well known

It's right next to Parasyte when it comes to duo protags shōnen manga, when it was airing the newer episodes it had threads but like most anime it is forgotten with the seasons without a western release or airtime.

jerk off before posting and you might realize how ridiculous you sound

I like how Daemons is basically "Ushio with 2 Toras".

>>287636363
It came out before the 70s? That's impressive.
>>
>>287632158
I was there when it was airing. Both seasons. Was it two seasons? Or was it two cours? Hakumen was pretty badass. Felt kind of sad for it though.
>>
I liked it
>>
That one episode where everyone Ushio knows forgets him and he's despairing, but then finds out Tora still knows who he is and he fist pumps with such enthusiasm, still creeps into the satisfying corners of my mind and lives rent free there at my leisure.
>>
>>287638729
>whereas in the manga he's very attractive
yeah he is "crazy kawai" in a sense. kinda like sadako
