I'm so happy Sket Dance is in the top50. I wanted it higher, of course, but seeing that it's a beloved work in Japan is great.
Sp was it the talk show that brought about this sudden boost in popularity, or did the anime have a larger impact on this popularity surge? It's pretty cool to see it starting to really take off after so longSo it looks like Dr. Stone is getting popular enough to get video game collaborations now.
I'm a regular player of Last Cloudia, so I'm pretty excited for this news.
This was probably in the works before the talk show boost. Still, yeah, it's a good sign.
Wow, that's a large sample. Anyway it's interesting to see series that the west dislikes/criticizes such as FT/Reborn but they're adored by the Japanese fanbase.
Jump stronk. Hoshin Engi is still fondly remembered even after the catastrophic anime remake you love to see it. I’m surprised Yu-Gi-Oh, Nisekoi or To-Love Ru didn’t make it.
I find amazing that KnY is in top 15. Despite being relatively new and its anime aired a year ago. It really hit Japanese ppl very hard.
Where did you get that it's second lowest first week for OP since Oricon started tracking manga sales? I took a random look at the 2008 manga sales and volume 52 did lower than OP 96 in a longer time frame (6 days) in it's first week.
I really like the character design of LM1 Ufotable did. I wasn't so sure how the mouth from hand thing would look but thankfully they made it very creepy and weird. Zenitsu sleeping on the cover is a very nice touch
"Lowest 3-day first week sales" I was very specific.Where did you get that it's second lowest first week for OP since Oricon started tracking manga sales? I took a random look at the 2008 manga sales and volume 52 did lower than OP 96 in a longer time frame (6 days) in it's first week.
Japanese Comic Ranking, December 3-9
One Piece 52, Bleach 36, D. Gray-man 17, Gintama 26, Kimi ni Todoke 8 debut on topwww.animenewsnetwork.com
I dunno if Reborn is that disliked in the West, tbh. I thought it was, but then again, I don’t hear much about it. The ending certainly did quite a number on its reputation, though.
I honestly thought Kimetsu would rank higher - like Top 10. Im also a little surprised but happy that HeroAca’s in the Top 20 despite the series beginning in 2014.
The Shangai Arc wasn't animated.
I wouldn't expect it to be in the Top 10 now as I feel that with these rankings nostalgia and long-term impact are more important factors - given that it's only been the past year where it blew up, I wouldn't be surprised if a newer series isn't part of what 'defines' a person as that is a rather big statement to make, and you can definitely see that with the Top 20 excluding MHA and KNY. With those two series being practically the defining 2 mainstream shonen of the past decade though, I could see them being higher if this poll was done a few years later as its impact settles into the history of anime/manga culture, if that makes any sense.
Tbf most of the criticisms I hear from Reborn is from it's ending and not the whole so idk.
Damn, I read this as "Didn't Samurai 8 get a full anime adaptation" and I was like "oh you got jokes"
Samurai 8 should have gotten an anime adaptation and it would have blown up like kny but sadly, wsj hating kishimoto and his writing being too deep, philosophical and subservise for wsj childish audience, it got axed. Such injustice.
