Wasn't it said that Kimetsu is in its final arc? And the latest chapter was literally called "The Final Battle Begins!". Now, Kimetsu is still on my backlog list for stuff past the first volume, so I dunno about the current narrative standpoint, but couldn't the series currently steer towards its natural conclusion and just end around Spring? Not axed, but simply be finished.

I thought it was a mistranslation.

It seems Crunchyroll has Dr. Stone. They pinned this news article to the top of the news section for no real reason (https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-n...s-to-life-in-tv-anime-teaser-promo-and-visual) and apparently that was a sponsored post on Facebook as well but I don't use FB so I can't confirm.

Well with Samurai 8's introduction on the horizon, it looks like that'll be one less slot that will be available for several years at least. I'm already seeing a bit of Chainsaw-man fanart on Twitter, so even though I'm not really a fan, it'd be hard for me to say that it isn't the most likely one of the "dark trio" to stick around for a bit. I think it'll be a bit more challenging for ne0 and Higuma to find their footing, even though I prefer both of them over Chainsaw-man.

I thought it was a mistranslation.

Viz translated it as such. The title can always be a ''final'' in sense of an arc and primary plot point, whereas they could try to introduce new things after. Guess we will see soon enough.

''challenging for ne0 and Higuma to find their footing''
Agreed. Both seem to be ''buzzless'' in general, but so was Jujutsu Kaisen with people predicting it would be an easy cancel and it took off.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I'm seeing Chainsaw surviving easily and ne0 dying easily. Higuma is the big mistery for me.

About Kimetsu:
While it indeed may the final arc started, it will take quite a while to finish (unless rushed). There are likely 4 major fights left: against main enemy and top 3 strong demons. There is also a new "4th" demon. So far we had 2 arcs that dealt with the 4th and 6th demon and both were like ~30 chapters long. While the 2nd, 3rd and 4th moon can be done a bit shorter, the main enemy and the 1st moon should be longer, as they should add other revelations. So I can't really see it ending in less than 50 chapters (which is 1 more year from now).
And of course, it can always continue after that. For me it should end in the next 50-100 chapters. 200-300 chapters overall are ideal for a series to tell a decent story, anything more than that usually starts to get shitty.

they should have called kishimoto brother to draw the new series now that mad chimera world is ending.

Eeeh, not a fan of his Brother’s art.
Remember enjoying 666 Satan back in the day though

Aye, as a Bleach fan myself, these whiny fans who keep whining about lack of anime needs smack on the head.

Kishi's art wasn't that impressive IMO. I hated Naruto's art especially during the 4th shinobi war saga, not sure if it was always that bad.

Aside from how stale the art felt towards the end, it was pretty fucking great.
IMO, his style was very unique and made his manga stand out from the rest of the field. Having distinguishable art is to manga like having a distinguishable sound/voice is to music. Naruto as a series always had a unique art and creative style which was part of the whole universe it was in.
Not to forget the great CPs he did.

I can see Jujutsu selling more than Black Clover before the anime starts

 

[SharkBait]

Would they really have BLeach, BLack Clover, and Boruto anime running at the same time?

I doubt. He doesn't seem a natural success like Neverland

 

[FengarGB]

kishimoto was great at drawing big scenes , only losing to oda in that regard in the magazine. Jujutsu is a natural sucess in my eyes, the magazine only took notice and started the promotion on it way around vol 2 i think, and in a more restrained way. I don't know if being a natural or no matters too much for it to sell big time, but the fans were the most important thing for jujutsu to sell what it does today in my opinion. Has any manga "pushed" by the magazine and labeled as a fabricated sucess able to achieve a expresive number of sales?

 

[LuckyJim]

Neverland was pretty heavily pushed, and that was a huge success, sales wise.

 

[xAsum0x]

I dont see how you can look at its sales and say its not a natural success, hell are you talking about lol.

 

[Mammo]

do we know what's the formula of Naruto novel anime adaptation will be like
will it run in Boruto anime or will it be it's own separate thing?

studio pierrot best anime will be Dark Continent anime

>trailer when?

 

[savethecat]

How much you guys want to bet the anime for Samurai 8 is already in production?

 

[Mammo]

of course it doesn't have an anime in production
what do you think this is? Jimoto ga Japan?

This is just going to be the biggest meme in Jump history, and I am totally ok with that.

Like the other naruto novels were done in shippuden (sasuke shinden for example). Will just be regular episodes run in boruto
