>spawns the two highest-grossing films in Japanese history>entire franchise, despite just having turned only 10 years old, has made over 10 billion dollars>nobody on /a/ ever talks about itWhy is this exactly? Is it because /a/ is contrarian or there is a real reason?
>>291175389/a/ already read the manga.
>>291175389Because it has too much cultural impact.
>>291175473but the anime is better
>>291175389The manga was over years ago. Do you want a shitty dbz general or what?
>>291175389The manga ended and wrapped everything up in a way that doesn't really invite too many questions. Unlike the big three of old KnY was never constructed as a gigantic playground to tell an infinite amount of stories. It stuck to exactly what was necessary to convey its authors message in an entertaining way. Now all that's left to do is watch as Ufotable adapts the already excellent manga to near-perfection.
Demon slayer was one of the most boring shonens I've ever watched. The characters were insufferable and the fights had nothing going for them besides the animation. I bounced after season 1. Don't understand how this shit is so popular with normalfags considering it's also heavily Japanese with its tropes and setting
>>291176598>it's also heavily Japanese with its tropes and settingThat's part of what makes it good. Instead of some generic isekaishit fantasy world its set in an actual historical period of actual Japan.
>>291175389/a/ talks about the followingShipping warsTrainwrecksCuckoldingKimetsu had none of those
>>291176075well no but I did just start getting into this franchise recently and it would be enjoyable to have some anons to talk about it with>>291176637>Trainwrecks>Kimetsu had none of thosetechnically it did though
>>291176743It did not have anything like AOT's ending or that scene from Erased
>>291176075mushoku tensei ended years ago and still have threads tho
>>291176772i mean enmu turns into a train and literally wrecks
>>291176823
>>291175389The manga isn't that great—it's just that ufotable's adaptation was excellent.
>>291176904>The manga isn't that great>sells 220 million copies
>>291176977If sales is indicative of quality then Naruto must be better than 99% of all media.
>>291176904I enjoyed the manga and became interested in it because I like yokai and old Japan settings.
>>291175695More like it has 0 impact which is why despite making tons of money, it left no cultural footprint compared to the Big 3, Dragon Ball or even Jujutsu Kaisen. And in terms of influence, no one comes out and says Demon Slayer is their source of inspiration or the most important manga they read, they all cite Chainsaw Man or Attack on Titan. Want to know why? Because despite the messiness of their endings, they were ambitious and experimental. Demon Slayer has nothing to offer that you can't already just copy off from other shounen. I'd even say Attack and Chainsaw Man ending the way they did is a good thing too because oeople are still going to talk about them years down the line.Demon Slayer is pretty much the Avatar of anime. It's one of the emptiest successful series, carried entirely by the visual spectacle much like Avatar. You never see anyone quote anything from Avatar like they do with Star Wars, Toy Story, Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. And no one remembers any character from Avatar either, besides Jake Sully who's solely remembered as a sellout who wanted to clap some blue cat-elf butt cheeks. Who's the most memorable character in Demon Slayer? The little sister who has a muzzle to keep her mouth shut which is incredibly telling.
>>291177004Kimetsu's biggest fan has arrived!
>>291175389This series is the Avatar of anime.
>>291177004>schizoid breathing, first form: copypasta
>>291175389
>>291175389sakugaslop franchise
>>291177083I don't give a shit about your porn collection.
>>291177083Is there a version for the boys? KnY has a few cute ones (including Tanjiro).
>>291177126Yes you do
>>291177083Green wife anon?
>>291177140Which boys do you like?
>>291176598You just answered your own question: this franchise lives and dies by its animation, which is why it has no staying power because once the dust is settled, you need more than just nice animation to stand out. If I were to make a comparison, I'd say Demon Slayer is like watching the Super Mario Galaxy Movie where 90% of its runtime is jingling keys. Over animated fighting sequences to keep the ADHD crowd hooked, even if the underlying plot is paper-thin and the characters are nothing extraordinary. I even feel slightly offended at characters having to spell out what they do, what they see, what they think, what they feel and the entire theme like the author assumes his fans are idiots (can't blame him, they are kind of idiots).>>291177166No, I don't.
>>291176598Normalfags were starving for sword fights
>>291175389It ended rather nicely compared to other modern shonenshit so we want to at least spare it from shitposters (Though it probably failed since it made a lot of money)
>>291175389It’s too Japanese and emotional, jeets and amerimutts can’t self insert
>>291175389>Another J bait thread
>>291177270And yet you keep coming back. Curious.
>>291175389Where is the fucking second movie announcement Aniplex!?
>>291175389>no kimetsuKEK
>>291177380Oda is still SEETHING
>>291177380Kny is bigger than WSJ at this pointAlso they're probably doing this to placate Oda as he'll get a heart attack if he sees tanjirothere's already a rumor he imposes a house arrest when the kny movie came out for few months
>>291177217Tanjiro and Zenitsu mainly (I want both to fuck me at the same time and then we would all cuddle afterwards), but also Enmu, Muichiro, Rui and Kotetsu.
>>291177380They have the most prestigious anime studios doing an anime for one of their most popular manga but theh prefer having Ichi which is declining before reaching 100kThis is how you know they lost the rights and wont see a single dime from it
>>291177416It's to protect Oda's ego
>>291177342And I believe the world would be a better place with one less badly written, badly drawn shounen manga the Japanese unironically meme'd into thinking is high art. If I didn't know better, I'd say their shilling of Demon Slayer is one elaborate shitpost to make something go viral, anything really. Kind of like that time they tried to make Mashle go viral with Bling-Bang-Bang-Born.I also believe the world would be better if bad movies just up and vanished. But they're also necessary so I can tell actual good movies with bad movies. Still, the battle against slop is a never-ending journey.
>>291175389Black Clover Won
>>291177490Nobody cares about black clover
>>291177403Remember how One Piece had a sudden break when kny movie numbers appeared kekOda became what he mocked
>>291177380Damn, Jump really is pretending Kimetsu doesnt exist
>>291177380its funny becaue kimetsu literally mogs all of that shit there but they'd rather put kaiju 8 ichi etc over kny that's how you know they're seething kek
>>291177475Your obsessive shitposting on a Mongolian throat singing board will surely pay off one of these days and KnY will finally be defeated once and for all.
>>291177599Oda knows he is fucked with Toei. And his movies will likely coincide with Gojo vs Sukuna episodes/movies
Why is the kgbfag copy pasting posts
>>291177475Why do you keep acting as if the movie is obnoxiously shilled like crazy? It's fairly shilled like everyone else and most Japs are just happy that it was somehow succesful>INB4 xitterEveryone is retarded on xitter, even the fanbase of every series that you are championing against Shitmetsu
>>291177613They lost 30K sales so she is seething here KEK
>>291177409Rui is excellent taste. Personally I like Hantengu’s shota form, Rui, Muichiro, and Senjuro.
>>291177613So he can talk about it in /wsj/
Before 2025 this one shitposter wasn't this crazy when SV, Hashira training or entertainment district was airing, what happened
Dude Kimetsu hasnt even announced its second film and you're already losing your gourd? Are you going to go nuclear when they announce a single date again?
>>291177613Allybegging KNYchads, probably.
>>291177217I keep using Tanjiro when writing a Mid 2000's mega crossover fanfic
>>291177648Oh he was. He spammed the board with O MY SHIFTING ORGANS and Uzui cuck posts while Tengen vs Gyutaro was breaking the internet.
Kimetsu is the Ah My Goddess of modern era. It mindbroke one single person but it's as bad as AMG mindbreaking a bunch of people

>>291177630Zohakuten is pretty hot, I agree. Though unfortunately he's technically just the BDA of a really ugly old man and he only comes out during a desperate battle.Forgot about Senjuro.Another boy I like is Yushiro.
Tanjiro and Nezuko are what came to my mind when i think of "Oboro and Gennosuke's children". Yes, even more than their actual children from Ouka Ninpo Cho
>>291177380>>291177490>>291177739>>291177927>using the same exact files you spam in the /wsj/ threads heremental illness
>>291178028>>291178046It was sophia falseflagging.
I can respect it decided to quit while it was ahead instead of become something like Shart Poo or modern Wan Piss. Mangaka chose glory over money.
This place is purgatory.It's the exact same threads, with the exact same replies.
>>291178028Kimetsufags are not going to give a shit about black clover dude, go bump your dead threadBtw isn't it interesting how this J guy always stops during kgb dump thread?
>>291177962Man how could I forget Yushiro? Really looking forward to more of him in the upcoming films. Watching his interactions with Murata was cute.
>>291178209What did the russian cia do to you?
>>291175389/a/ already talked about it, same reason there's no Naruto threads
>>291177613>kgbfagJust call him by his real name, Jerry...
>>291178234I want to marry Tanjiro
>>291175389And this is why there is no KnY general
>>291178542>a single schizo stops the allegedly biggest manga ever from having discussionKNY? Lost.
>>291178215i wish i could have a cute boy who loved me as much as yushiro loves tamayo
>>291175389KnY is trash.
>>291178761>admits to being a schizo
>>291179272Not at all, just nooooticing how you guys seem in feae of this boogeyman that you stopped making threads because you are so afraid the schizo might be there.Not different from kgbfags dropping their general after bragging how many here were because of a single guy, or so they cooe
>>291179432Kny is good though. Kgb is shit for zoomies
>>291176598It honestly feels like Japan is watching a completely different anime compared to the rest of the world with how much stuff gets lost in translation, like the supposed way Wani writes.
>>291179560Don't pretend to be a knyfag now, sophia
>>291179615>SofiaWho? Kny is good and kgb is shit
>she kneeled to knyKWAB
>>291179432Anything that has threads outside of any new content constantly aka generals becomes a breeding ground for psyche patients like yourself. The manga has been over for 6 years and the movie came out a year ago. We discussed it and are now waiting for news about the next movie.
>>291179723KGB is still running retard, the current volume lost 30k sales even.
>>291175389I am actually pacing the manga and anime at the same exact time.Nothing that there are things the manga does right that the anime doesn’t and vice versa. I do like the Mc over yuji and deku but the story is all just mid tier to this point except it does one thing that mha and jjk did not do that dragon ball , naruto(part1), Hunter x Hunter one piece and I guess the early segments of bleach did. And that is that it uses emotions and sentimental moments in a proper manner with out overdoing it to the max.
>>291179723How will you cope when the next movie won't make as much money as Infinity Castle huh?
>>291179432There are threads every once in a whileits just a manga that ended with 23 volumes 6 years ago what the fuck do you want a general for? no manga that ended that long ago gets a generalfor similar comparison AOT also no longer have a general here and it ended a year later
>>291179891What the fuck even is that?
>>291175389It's not interesting, even if it is good. That being it's goodness is debatable and irrelevant, as it simply doesn't catch interest.
>>291179944I honestly dont care. I just want to watch Godjima tear up Kokushibo in 4k.
>>291179979>sophia making shit up again

>>291180064Afraid it wont make more money than...itself?
>it was true
>>291175389It's japanese Avengers or Avatar (the alien smurfs one). Normie garbage with zero cultural relevance that the cattle obsessed over because of FOMO and their inherent need to conform. Japs lost the plot. Just compare the top 30 grossing movies from 90-00s to to their top grossing movies of the last ten years. It's all just the most low IQ slop. Massive downgrade. I lost all respect for Japan. No future for these guys with their next generations being this retarded and tasteless.
>>291180623Ok tranny
>>291176808By spamming the same shitty baits ad-nauseum on everythiread? Woooow.... So you just want a shitposting generalFuck off retard.
>>291180623what did u end up naming ur self insert female mha oc
>>291176598I liked at the beginning when Tanjiro was training and talked with the fox masked kids and then it was reveled that the kids were ghosts and they helped in Tanjiro's training.I thought that the story would be like that: Tanjiro seeing ghosts, ghosts helping Tanjiro and FEELS about ghost's backstories once in a while.In the end it was only sword fights and ass-pull after ass-pull.
>>291177380Pedoda hates KnY and banned Shueisha from advertising it.
>>291180808Just look what he turned /wsj/ into. Just him talking to himself, recycling the same 3-4 conversations and badly edited memes and getting mad at any on topic post that isn't coomshit or playing along with his shitposting.
>>291176808It has an ongoing season, Kimetsu also spawns threads when the movies are out.
>We don't have daily Akira threads talking about the manga so I guess Otomo must be irrelevant
>>291181862Akira is still talked about, though. Animators hold it to a gold standard and revere it because it reshaped how people view animation and invented a new language same way Spider-Verse invented one and so did Studio Ghibli. Demon Slayer didn't invent anything because its animation isn't revolutionary, it's just polished. Animators revere Akira where they don't with Demon Slayer and just sees it as a polished commercial product.Also, Otomo still inspires artists to this today. Kishimoto got into drawing because of Akira, Horikoshi is a huge Akira fan and repeatedly makes Akira references in MHA (Bakugo is inspired by Tetsuo) and even Gotouge referenced it with Muzan's giant baby form being straight up traced from Akira. Otome actually inspires unlike Gotouge who didn't inspire anything or anyone of note 6 years after Demon Slayer ended.
>>291175389It gets threads when a season/movie happens.It's kinda meh as a manga, very clean and straightforward for the most part.Characters train to gitgud, for the most part the humans/good guys have no magic, they're just 'peakhuman' monsters doing str/dex feats to kill the actual monsters who do have some magic.The anime has played up the flashy elements of series. No anime and this would just be a pretty basic battle shounen that managed to do its entire planned run (assuming it didn't get selected for 'you cannot end').
>>291182346> Animators revere Akira where they don't with Demon Slayer and just sees it as a polished commercial product.You don't know animators, since KnY is talked as a revolutionary way to seamlessly incorporate computer effects with 2D animation .The influence of KnY is still hard to measure yet, but it sure left an entire generation dreaming on BEING the next Kimetsu. And again, we ARE talking about the effects of KnY right now, discussing how it changed the Japanese market, and we'll talk about again once the next movie comes out, like we do every time.
>>291182512No one mentions Vagabond as an influence so I guess its shit now.
>>291175473fpbpnot only read, but actually scanlated it when nobody else wouldthose were the days when four and a half of us could discuss kny together in peace
>>291182804>You don't know animators, since KnY is talked as a revolutionary way to seamlessly incorporate computer effects with 2D animation .Actually, I do. I regularly attend film festivals like the Annecy, so I have my connections. Akira achieved an unprecedented fluidity using 24 frames per second (on 1s) almost entirely. It pioneered complex fluid dynamics for explosions, pre-scored dialogue matching, and a massive 327 color palette developed specifically to capture dystopian neon nightlife. It inspired global sci-fi movies like The Matrix and changed how filmmakers worldwide (including James Cameron, Steven Spielberg and Rian Johnson) viewed visual storytelling. Spider-Verse invented a new visual language that blended 3D computer graphics with hand-drawn comic book techniques, line work, halftone dots, and variable frame rates to mimic stop-motion. Ghibli mastered and standardized the slice of life realism in fantasy. They revolutionized environmental storytelling and negative space (ma), forcing Western audiences to see animation as a medium for quiet, profound human emotion rather than just rapidfire gags. Demon Slayer didn't invent a new visual language; it's a triumph of production value and execution. It takes a bog standard shounen manga and applies an unlimited budget and flawless digital synergy to it. It changes how good a TV anime can look, but it doesn't change what animation can be.>The influence of KnY is still hard to measure yet, but it sure left an entire generation dreaming on BEING the next Kimetsu.I have heard this for so long. Where do I hear it from? Ah, yes. One Piece fans say the exact same thing when people point out its lack of influence. "It just needs more time! It is sure to leave an influence on the next generation once they grow up!" Influence doesn't have a time clock. If people were really moved by said work to the point, they would replicate its success almost immediately while it's still hot and smashing.
>>291182919I mean, Vagabond is just an inferior adaptation to a much better, much more expanded book. Vagabond is praised for Inoue's art first and foremost. Vagabond will also never end while Musashi saw its conclusion. Eiji Yoshikawa's novel that Vagabond took from is highly influential.
>>291175389The manga was better
>>291175389Sukuna reference? Goutoge confirmed for bro.
>>291175389dogshit writing, S3 and S4 were so bad I never bothered to watch the movie. I might have watched the movie it didn't take 2 years to come outside of theaters. Maybe I'll watch the movies in 10 years time when they've finished the story.
