>millennial shounen manga ends>it's still part of the popular culture and zeitgeist>zoomer shounen manga ends>literally noone cares about it anymore and they just move onto the next big thing
>>288800589It do be like that
>>288800589zoomer shounen is drawn by millennialsmillennial shounen was drawn by boomers
>>288800589Blame the slop-ification of anime/manga and invasion of tourists after Covid. I think the seasonal format is also to blame in a way.
>>288800589just by looking at the catalog I can tell you that JJK is the only one that fits the billMHA has had some schizo really riled up lately which is ironically drawing discussion of what people liked about it and there's still a CSM general even after Part 2's ending regardless of what anyone thought of it
>>288800979its crazy how hard jjk fell off
>>288800979>and there's still a CSM general even after Part 2's ending regardless of what anyone thought of itThat's basically a zombie general.
>>288800929The "2nd gen creator" problem. Gen 1 comes up with original ideas, Gen 2 comes up with ideas based on Gen 1's work
>>288801032Be that as it is, discussion will pick up if there's more anime coming for it
>>288800589it was Gen X
>>288800589The Shit 4 with KnY.
>>288800589It's a lot like that for most media, tragically. Movies from the 80s and 90s became beloved classics for decades, the MCU movies come out, should be touchestones, and nobody cares. I don't know it's because it is the zoomers entirely or if media just comes out too fast now or if it's both but it's a real shame.
>>288801046original ideas don't exist
>>288800589JJK created the concept of aura btw, something that none of those other shonen ever managed and is now an established of the real culture zeitgeist
>>288802934kek
>>288800589There is no next big thing. Nothing has really replaced any of those 3 series yet.
>>288800589CSM still have most of the manga to be adapted.
>>288803060the OP of this thread is convinced that Black Clover is bigger and that Kagurabachi will be too
>>288800589are you saying manga that have been around longer are more popular than manga that have been around for a fraction of that time?what a novel concept
>>288801001jjk suffered the same fate as snk aka the author hating the popular characters and shilling his boring favorite ones so people left
>>288800589>FuckDenji>MarryYuji>KillDeku
>>288800589Age old problem of old people existing>>288802664Mcu movies shouldnt be touchstonesAfter iron man there wasnt a single entertaining one untill avengers and even then that was a really low bar to jumpFar too formulaic since first movie,you seen one of them youve seen all of themIron Man was carried hard for me cause Im a big ac dc mark
>>288800589I like MHA and Jujutsu Kaisen a lot.
>>288801046>nart and bleach are original ideasone ripped off yu yu hakusho and the other saint seiya
>>288803549Ehi, at least SnK was a more interesting and complex story to handle due to the whole genocide thing and it really become bad only in the last 20 chapters.Gege fucked up way harder than isayama ever did by just having a far simpler and easy to write story, ruining it after Shibuya , ruining the flew developed characters and than nuking the whole setting with an awful sequel.
>>288802934Noboby has used that word in 2 years gramps
>>288802934Bait used to be believable.
>>288804669Bleed out in your bathtub.
>>288800589Makima will keep CSM's corpse relevant. The other two series will be totally forgotten about
>>288805012>My goon preference is more popular than yours, I swear!
>>288804692Battle shonen only have 3 stories to tell1. Kid in a big world adventuring2. Teenagers fight monsters3. The professional does jobs
>>288802934You're right, /a/ is just too far up it's own ass to admit it.
>>288805101don't forget the token delinquents series until the early 2000s
>>288800589Zoomers are entering their 30s next year. The current shonen audience is Gen A.
>>288805012>*Yoru will keep CSM's corpse relevant.*ftfy
>>288800929Millenials can't create
>>288800589MHA is the only one of these I've actually consumed. I've never seen a greater differential in art and writing quality. JJK I've only seen in clips of the anime on social media because it's very popular meme material and CSM doesn't appeal to me at all.
>>288800589What millennial shonen is still popular? No one talks about Bleach and the only talk i hear of Naruto is people reposting chunin exam clips, which was like 25 years ago.desu most shonen implode in the end. I can't think of many that have good endings and a bad ending really seems to harm your place in the overculture; mha would've been fine it dodged the spiritually cucked ending
>>288801046deep
>>288800589>being this delusionalI am fully ready to admit that JJK is slop but come the fuck on, it got way too big to just be forgotten about. People will recognize Gojo years down the line, and don’t even get me started on what Megumi’s done to character discussion as a whole
>>288806902>No one talks about Bleach
>>288805442And those ones can't read or watch. They see Tiktok videos
late 90s/2000s shounen is Gen X shounen.nu-shounen like JJK, CSM, KnY is actually millennial. JJK and KnY movies grossed hundreds of millions at the box office. Do you retards really think it was a bunch of zoomers? If you actually went outside and went for yourself you would have seen it was a bunch of redditors in their 30s and middle aged japanese women who are the target audience for those movies.
>>288804886when was the last time this trope was used in /a/nime
>>288807959Box office has absolutely nothing to do with impact. Box office returns measure marketing hype, timing, and brand power rather than a series' quality or long-term legacy.In the case of Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer, their relevancy lives and dies by their anime. When their anime is on air, the usual discussion is less about Jujutsu Kaisen/Demon Slayer itself and more about the work of Mappa/Ufotable: "the animation looks nice," "the fights are peak," "I cried when that character died." Once their anime is off the air, the novelty around them (the animation) wears off because then the work itself has to stand on its own and beyond the sakuga, you'd find an empty hollow work that doesn't have much going. Dragon Ball fans spent decades theory-crafting and powerscaling, Naruto fans thrives on fanfiction and One Piece has extensive discussions surrounding its politics. Even if Attack on Titan fumbled and the ending sucks, the ending is still something worth discussing over how much Isayama screwed up compared to the nothingburger endings of Jujutsu Kaisen/Demon Slayer.
>>288808644I agree with you that their popularity is superficial. My point was more so that their audience is much older than people think it is.
>>288800589It happens to almost every piece of media nowadays. There's so much easily accesible content that one can simply jump onto the next one immediately.
>>288801046Shonen is just very derivative in general
>>288805508>16ruShe can't even keep her own corpse relevant.
>>288800979>>288801001Talking about 4chan meta is retarded. But getting it so wrong is shockingly even more retarded. How many simultaneous daily threads do you need before you'll stop seething?
>>288807381I feel like Gojo craze went down when he lost.
>>288808707That's actually true. If my memory serves right, Jujutsu Kaisen's audience skewed heavily into a young adult audience, with some fans hitting their 30s. Demon Slayer's audience is even older than that, with the fans being 30-40 something year olds, some hitting past their 50s.It really feels like younger people don't watch much anime by comparison.
>>288808799Rigged poll
I love watching 4chan shut ins act like they know who watches what and what's popular amongst which group of people when you can tell they dont go outside.
>>288800929*Millennial shounen was drawn by Gen X BVLLS
>Anime ends>Continues to go on delving into side stories and what ifs to great success>Source material is so good that almost every person introduced to the anime becomes a long-standing fan of the franchise as a wholeAny other examples?
>>288806902>What millennial shonen is still popular?ippo is still popular with the kids, right?
>>288809494Are you implying Zoomers go outside and actually socialize?
>>288809494That's 4channers for you. The lowest denominators in society, even lower than actual trannies, and somehow they believe their word is law.
>>288809753Kek much more than you.
>>288809780NTA but they don'tThey're more shut in and chronically online than any other generationhttps://nypost.com/2025/09/16/lifestyle/gen-z-spends-less-time-outside-than-gen-x-new-survey-shows/
>>288809858Keep believing those Jewish posts like the good little goyim you are.
>>288800589Thank god, you faggots can't move on from 2008.
>>288809858Meanwhile I walk the streets, visited several different states, events, movie theaters, conventions, you know, actually go outside and see for myself what people are into and who the demographic is for myself and can say with confidence, most of you know jack shit about what you are talking about.
>>288800589The reason is because zoomers have fucked attention spans. They can't comprehend keeping series still alive after they end like nips have been doing for decades. Once it's no longer trending, they move onto the next slop because anime is more about posting and being in a fandom to them. That's why you have so many people admitting they only get into shows through tiktok clips.
>>288808644The problem is thinking impact has only one meaning when it's definition encompasses many different forms, but you knew that already because Ive seen this exact type of post a hundred times.
>>288810981Still seeing people outside doesn't mean it represents the whole generation. But they are more online only because everyone takes the internet with them now, unlike previous generations that had a separation from online and real life due to accessing the internet mostly from their pcs.
>>288811155The only impact jjk had was inspired every fandom to attempt their own slander memes and failing miserably
>>288811188And this is why you have posts saying shit like this >>288808875. Only someone that hasnt left their front door in years could confidently say something like this. Anime is huge amongst younger people, demon slayer especially is crazy big with children. Children arent chatting about anime online the way zoomers are. What I rarely see is younger people giving a fuck about Dragonball or Bleach or Naruto to the same degree. Those are still largely millennials and older zoomers.
>>288811250Having impact doesnt mean its good and not having impact doesnt mean its bad. Twilight had cultural impact.
>>288811484>DragonballHas a Minecraft collab, is one of the most on-demand skins on Fortnite, one of the only two anime series featured on Macy's Parade along with One Piece and FIFA used a poster of Goku facing Sun Wukong to promote the Asian qualifiers for FIFA World Cup. Will also soon get its own amusement park in Saudi Arabia>BleachHas a Fortnite collab. Less relevant than Dragon Ball, Naruto and One Piece, and is more of a classic anime beloved by anime fans rather than a ubiquitous household name in the mainstream.>NarutoHas a Fortnite collab, also collaborated with world-class footballers, has an amusement park in France.Dragon Ball, One Piece and Naruto all occupy this unique spot where they all successfully crossed over out of their anime bubble and became ubiquitous mainstream phenomenon and a part of everyday life globally. Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer never left their anime bubble and theie fanbases remains highly concentrated.If you're an anime fan, chances are you're also a Jujutsu Kaisen/Demon Slayer fan. If you're not an anime fan, you have no reason to actually care about them. Dragon Ball, Naruto and One Piece can be enjoyed by anyone, even people who don't give a shit about anime.
