with a live action and a stageplay next year, along with the most popular arc getting animated, why would it decline?

 

[Newkerzy]

Are you talking about Hideout raid or the Overhaul arc?

 

[SharkBait]

The highest and most noteworthy moment in HeroAca has already been animated though, I highly doubt people will have overhaul fight as more significant, meaningful, and visually stunning than AFO v OFA.

I dont even recall any new major player in that overhaul arc even ranking highly in the most recent charapoll anyway.

Aren't they the same thing?

Re release dragon ball remaster and it might dethrone the king next year.


Slightly unrelated question, what’s Jojo anime target audience? It clealy not being made to increase the manga sale (it did for part 1/2 and that’s it).

did the recent color version not move units?

Jojolion/SBR sales are separate from JJBA (part 1-6) on Oricon iirc.

Im not 100% sure but I think DiU got backlog sales from the anime. Either way, the anime survives from the merch sales Id assume. Part 5 sales in terms of merch & BD's may be higher than usual since it looks like fujos are definitely on board. Fujo fanbase is stronger in part 5 than any other part too.

Considering the rankings, the Yakuza arc is the least popular part of HeroAca...

 

[Nemesis]

I think next year Hero Academia will sell slightly less and Promised Neverland will sell way more (potentially threatening Shingeki).

Black Clover is the big question for 2019. I don't see Slam Dunk repeating year. I also don't see Slime or Tokyo Ghoul:Re in 2019, so that's 3 slots open. But Black Clover big chance was this year. Maybe Elfed Arc will rise sales, but dunno. Also, Eden Zero will be already on the rise.

Also, Kimetsu and Dr.Stone will be interesting to see too.

I disagree. With how it's selling and with the anime boost, Slime is going to be there as well.

It was ranked 2# for the year....
Also good job ignoring the sales for that arc.

ToC arent rankings and it had some of its highest selling volumes that arc

Slam Dunk is powerful.

MHA's Yakuza arc benifitted highly from the huge anime boost of s2.

 

[Serinox]

I dont even recall any new major player in that overhaul arc even ranking highly in the most recent charapoll anyway.

Because the polls were taken just before and long after the arc, in the manga; and the influence of the anime is big too.

Pretty sure the most popular arc has been animated. I expect the sales to be consistent if not decline a bit. I really don't see it growing anymore.

Eh, I'd say the reason the volumes sold so high was the general popularity and momentum the series had going for it. I love MHA but it will start to stagnate and decline soon. Unless the fights being animated next season surpasses the quality of the 3rd season. That's my opinion.

 

[DyanSon]

You guys probably forgetting that next year MHA will release 5 volume i think the sale will hold out.

 

[TyVip]

Chainsaw hype(?)

It's probably will after all there's no movie now.

Honestly, I don't care about total sales/year. I care about individual volume numbers because that's what gives you the actual story. Total sales can be awfully deceiving.

 

[CuriousReborn]

Wow no BC, I'm sure with the digital sales it would be second.
