Why are Pokemon and Digimon happier anime than Hunter x Hunter? I didn't like how misery and talky Hunter x Hunter is. I prefer the happy vibes of Pokemon and Digimon. Digimon got dark at times, especially Tamers, but even when it was dark, it wasn't as dark as HxH is. All three are shonen action series.
>>288554786Misery and Darkness can be do well, it's just so happens that HxH is garbage for kids
>>288554786Do young people even like digimon, I can't find anyone under 30 that is interested
>>288554786>He hasn't seen the most recent digimon series.
>>288555796Why would you subject yourself to the whims of children?
>>288555898Because I'm twenty and wanna talk about the show with people my age and not 30 year olds while I catch up on all the old content
>>288555884Good, it's shit now
>>288555694Pokemon was made to promote the games That said, Pokemon actually traumatized Japanese children with the Porygon episode
>>288554786HaSpeak for yourselfVamdemon killing Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon terrified me and gave me nightmares as a child
>>288555852Pokémon already had the goldmine before the first anime episode even aired, thoughever. That one title Game Freak has been remaking since the 90s together with the Nintendo brand has always been the driver behind the franchise's success. It's not like Digimon didn't try all that sellout shit you mentioned, but come on now anon. That kind of popularity was never in the cards almost no matter what they did. If you compare Digimon to other big franchises that branched out from anime/manga like, say, Yu-Gi-Oh! or Gundam, you'll realize that they actually did quite well for themselves, all things considered.

>>288557028Gundam? Really man?Gundam is the 2nd biggest Japanese property after Dragon BallDigimon anime at least was massive back then The LCD games were actually extremely popular in Japan when they came out, but not so much overseasThe guy is rightFrontier anime bombed in JapanThey didn't like the kids becoming the digimon gimmickThen after that they did weird shit like Savers
>>288554786misery=deep to hxhfags
>>288554786Because they are made for children.
>>288557719Ah, you're right. Turns out I was looking at some dubious revenue stats. In my defense, I'm way too sleep deprived to check sources. We're agreed at least that success in the same ballpark as Pokémon was never feasible without a smash hit video game (series) or some other freak outlier way beyond what a TCG, merch, or less experimentation with the anime can do, yes? Cheers
>>288554786>why is anime made for selling toys to children more light hearted than sophisticated philosophical literature for adults
>>288558466HxH is for kids too isn't it?
