Yes, which is why a good adaption isn't all you need for a big boost, look at 5toubun and Fire Force for example, 5toubun adaption was way below average compared to Fire Force yet FF's boost pales in comparison
Yeah thats my point it's adaptation was far from great but it still increased sales beyond anyone's expectations. Whereas Haikyuu had the best adaptation of a Jump manga and it's sales never reached this height.
Isn’t MHA’s anniversary in July, though? I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I’m guessing that Hori’s gonna draw a cover to promote both the current arc and the anime.
He usually takes a break before or after finishing a color page for an issue. We'll see if MHA gets one when it returns.
oops, you're right, it's in July
The point is an anime doesn't need to have an incredible quality to increase manga sales.
I mean, the notion of quality is subjective, so, what we can agree SnK's anime was... is that it exploded. It was even more of a huge deal than Kimetsu, everyone went nuts for it. So, in that sense, it was a great adaptation, and it being extremely popular helped the manga a lot. I'm not saying "oh, Kimetsu only got there because it got a good anime", but I think you are underestimating Shingeki's a little bit.
You guys love to do these adaptations comparisons, but this will never take away the fact Yaiba wouldn't probably achieve half of what is doing if it wasn't for Ufotable fantastic adaptation and that episode 19 that was the big turning point in sales and popularity, we can be here talking all day about how a anime doesnt need to have an "incredible quality" but the truth is that Yaiba was only able to achieve and reach this level of audience and popularity be on Japan or western because the amazing anime done by Ufotable, it would never do this with a average anime by Toei or Pierrot.
You wanna do predictions of sales for mangas that will take at least 2 months to release a volume and 3 of them with not even 5 chapters? you should had learned something with Yozakura...
Tbf you can say this for almost every series, the crew at Ufotable/Aniplex deserve alot of credit for putting together a talented seiyuu cast and a group of talented animators, but I think alot of people arent giving Gotouge enough credit for the source material, the anime ended several months ago yet the manga sales aren't slowing down
I love that flat coloring style used on the first page, it has a unique flavor to it.
No. DS's boost happened because of the anime. End of
Are you going to finish that thought, lol. Anyway, the anime was a big help, but all it did was propel the series into the mainstream. The anime alone can't explain the freakish growth and longevity it's going through now. If a series' success was exclusively based off a flashy, well-produced anime, we would have a lot more million sellers!
It's just trending in Japan
It’s not so much that people deny that Ufotable played a huge role in Demon Slayer’s success.
Hit the nail on the head! If it was only the anime adaptation people cared about they’d buy the dvds and wait for a second season
