JJK. It is exactly what a shounen battle series should be: a lame premise that's just an excuse for a bunch of really cool fights. Plot is completely secondary and if you want good plots, you read/watch seinen.
>>
>>290821051
Save JJK for last.
>>
>>290821051
Make sure to read JJK. Do not watch the anime.
I'd say the same for Demon Slayer but the fights are less important there so the additions aren't as damaging. Actually, you should definitely read DS too. The Zenitsu whining is unbearable when you not only have to hear it but wait through the full time for it to end. You can just flip the page in the manga.

How come KnY never developed insufferable fans like virtually every other big battle/adventure shonen popular with normalfags?

>>290824449
Because it ended by the time it blew up (thanks to the anime and not the mediocre manga btw), so it never had the time to actually accumulate a fanbase. It's a one-and-done disposable battle shounen. Fans actually spent years reading JJK

Like the other guy said, toxic fandom behavior, power-scaling arguments, agenda pushing, ship wars, and creator harassment are all fueled by the uncertainty of an ongoing story.
When a manga like the Big 3, MHA and JJK runs for 6-10 years alongside its peak popularity, fans spend every week analyzing leaks, predicting power-ups, debating who beats whom, and arguing over character fates. That weekly wait creates a high-pressure cooker where fans build parasocial investments in specific outcomes

Demon Slayer manga wrapped up in May 2020 just barely a year after episode 19 aired and just as the series was becoming a huge hit. By the time 90% of the audience jumped on board, the story was already finished. You cannot have fierce debates about who will survive or how a villain will be defeated when the answer has been sitting on Wikipedia for years

>>
>>290824814
This is 100% spot on, it’s why I believe anime onlys didn’t shit on SnK like readers did and why I don’t think they’ll lose their minds over how shit CSM part 2 is. They’re not invested the same way manga readers are who are breaking down the series on a weekly/monthly basis and engaging with the community online
>>
>>290821051
Demon slayer if you want story and memorable moments.
Jjk if you want fights and cool characters but the rest is garbage.
I would choose demon slayer.

Not him but im literally pacing both the manga and the anime of demon slayer at the same time. Im on vol 4 and there is already three of them that i cant forget. Two of them are tragic
>>
>>290821051
Jujitsu Kaisen was cancelled for poor sales for what it's worth, go for Demon slayer instead.
>>

And people still remember Gojo more than tragic backstory #325

JJK is more iconic, however. I can't remember a single standout moment or a single character from Demon Slayer except maybe the little sister. Demon Slayer doesn't even have memorable quotes. It's like the Avatar of shounen.

I remember JJK more, though. And I think Gojo is bigger than his own series. He's like Goku, Luffy and Naruto. They all transcend anime

Hes not even the main character how does he do it.

>>290829581
Jjk is unreadable the anime is more tought.
>>
>>290821051
Demon Slayer have a more Dragon Ball/One Piece approach to shonen writing, JJK goes for a HxH/Jojo direction, though not as good IMO.

Barely escaped the lockdowns, so we didn't had years of twitter users and redditors having shipping wars or making unfunny memes.

Jojo maybe but hunterxhunter spawned naruto and they are similar to emotional writing.

JJK tries to do the hxh thing in the beginning, but basically goes full jojo by the shibuya arc if not earlier. I wouldn’t say hxh or jo are particularly similar at all except for some of the character designs

Im not the biggest demo slayer fan but didnt the infinity castle movie make the most money for an anime? Thats enough impact

DS recognizable things are the infinity castle entrance that exploded with the movie, nezuko, tanjiro's coat, ig inosuke moving his organs, and in the spanish-speaking anime curi fandom DS curis being made with ai.

Its some /tv/ meme about Avatar that spawned when Way of the Water released and then proceeded to obliterate the box office with people saying that it had no memes and therefore no cultural impact (which ironically enough became a meme).
>>
>>290830717
>>290829581
I don't get the hate on DS and JJK, I'm not a big fan of either (And I read the manga as it was releasing and I never bothered finishing JJK), but the anime projects are really good and have helped elevate their ok stories into pure spectacle.
Demon Slayer not having cultural relevancy is silly when I've seen people walk around at the mall with shirts and earrings and you can find merch at target and walmart.
Hell, I have seen kids with the japanese overshirts I forgot the name of. And if a movie makes #1 at the american box office, excuse me, that's relevancy. Not even Dragon Ball made that money,
JJK is pretty much a hotpot of a lot of different ideas, remixed. It's probably the closest to Bleach in that it's just kind of cool shit happens and looks good doing it.

Those people you see walk in the mall with Demon Slayer shirts and earrings were very likely already anime fans though just like how that movie made #1 at American box office for a little while. It was entirely a presold audience who bought tickets weeks ahead

You will see more normalfags do a Domain Expansion, wear a JJK shirt or pull a meme straight out from the manga than you will see a normalfag wear a Demon Slayer shirt. I don't think I've ever seen a normalfag say shit like "total concentration breathing" or "set your heart ablaze"

You don't have to be an anime fan to like JJK but Demon Slayer you really have to be a weeb to like it and be able to stand the cringey anime tropes

>>
>>290832786
It left a cultural footprint on your seething asshole for the past six years.
>>
Im a retard with shit taste that enjoys the less popular Chainsaw Man and that's how it is I guess. I can't care much about cultural relevancy because I'll lose to JJK. I can't care much about sales because I lost to KnY.
>>
>>290832353
To me I see Demon Slayer in the same way I see the Avatar movies. They are enginereed to be the most "crowd pleasing" works ever, they make a bunch of money, but they have almost zero impact because of how toothless and basic they are
>>290832786
On another note, it feels like it's easier to distribute JJK on the internet than it is for Demon Slayer of which Aniplex are so fiercely protective of so it makes sense JJK had the greater reach to westerners. I even remember how they tried to trademark the ichimatsu moyo (those kimono patterns) but they got shut down because they can't copyright something that existed Ib the 18th century

You both remember wrong. It was actually Shueisha who tried to copyright it, but they got rejected by Japan Patent Office because the designs lacked unique distinctiveness and has been used as a background design for centuries since the Edo period. Still, if it means Shueisha loses, I'm happy. I hate Shueisha.

KnY is a third rate manga that got a top tier anime. I'm a day 1 reader and it wasn't really popular until the anime popped off. Weekly chapter discussions on Reddit like r/manga had about 15-30 comments pre-anime release and even on /a/ threads were very quiet. Since the anime release, it grew to over 300 comments per weekly chapter within a few weeks of the spider fight
The storytelling didn't really get better as the manga went on. It only got worse and suffered cast bloating in the final arc
>>290832953
I'd actually even argue that CSM has a greater influence and cultural relevancy than KnY because even though the series is not as popular as it, CSM inspired a whole new generation of manga artists inspired by Fuji. So much so that Jump tried to put a stop to that phenomenon in a contest. And CSM is technically KnY's junior

Less brown fans than the others. The more insufferable a fanbase is the more browns there are. Same deal as FMA and Mob Psycho.
>>
>>290833529
Yeah every single chapter/episode is entertaining thanks to its episodic nature. It's like Japanese Regular Show most of the time but every now and then there are multi-episode serious arcs that BTFO every other series.

>So much so that Jump tried to put a stop to that phenomenon in a contest

>>290838593
DS's fanbase ARE brown, though. Arguably moreso than others. Southeast Asians and especially Indians can't shut up about it and that movie that released a year ago had a large hispanic/latino audience of 37%. The fans are also mentally ill like in vid or they fight and piss in the theaters

https://youtu.be/CKqMt9KqcEo?si=e-m-VUd_lkyqR_cw

CSM actually has the most white fanbase. Only 29 percent of hispanics/latinos watched Reze while everyone else were white. CSM also has the most well adjusted fanbase. They're horny but harmless most of the time

In late 2022, Yusei Matsui (who made Assassination Classroom and The Elusive Samurai) served as a judge for Shueisha's Jump New World Manga Award contest for up and coming artists.

Neither. Both aren't very good and they feel lkke a bastardized rendition of Naruto without the creative vision or soul that Naruto possessed, even when the story became retarded as it neared its end. Demon Slayer is the most painfully mediocre manga that I had the displeasure of reading. The art was terrible, the dialogue was amateurish at best to cringey at worst whenever the author tried to speak sagely manner to sound profound, the characters are severely underdeveloped and the emotional beats expects you to look past a plot that falls apart under the slightest scrutiny. The fact that the author left out everything about one of his important villain's backstory and treated it as an extra info at the end of the tankoubon is hack writing. This series is carried entirely by the visual spectacle and production value of Ufotable. If I were to make a comparison, this series is like the Super Mario movies. Jingling keys to stimulate the attention deficit audience.

Jujutsu Kaisen similarly is like the Bleach of the 2020s. It's a series that prioritizes style over substance above all else with a paper-thin plot that falls apart under the slightest scrutiny. It never took the time to breathe and let the characters just hang out and get to know each other beyond the very first arc. It is a non-stop plot that just keeps rolling where characters get shuffled in and out without ever really getting time to do more than their one designated fight in whatever arc they're in based on the whims of the author.

Having said that, I'll recommend Jujutsu Kaisen because Jujutsu Kaisen actually succeeds where Demon Slayer completely fails: the fights are actually fun to watch. And despite the characters lacking depth, they actually carry themselves with a sense of coolness to them. Gojo and Todo are two of the most entertaining/charismatic characters. So much so that the author had to write them out of the story. Demon Slayer fights are a chore and just exposition dumps.
