Speaking of Yu-Gi-Oh, I feel like it's so successful I feel like most people often forget that it was originally a Shonen Jump series. The 2000 anime and Konami's card game surely helped to form a different image of the series in most people's minds.
I mean, you see that here on this forum as well. People don't outright say overrated but they like to put all the credit for the success onto the anime adaptation which is just a polite way of phrasing it.
"Kimetsu Kids" is a thing in Japan so yes.
If you're unaware of how big and influential Black Jack was, then please google before making it seem like something having the status of Black Jack means any less than something like DBZ.
Well, not that hard to have some influence in your own assistant series, and while MHA isn't also reinventing anything, it bring the "traditional superheroes" theme to the top of manga industry for modern readers, which is already something different than "world with demons killing humans and being hunted by organization", also being a big hit from the start and going for over 6 years so far without losing any of that popularity helps, of course like some said, being a short series doesn't mean will not have a impact, but being a highly succesful followed by young people for pratically a decade, helps a lot when it comes to molding influence.
Hmm.
Yeah... was.
No no no.
So let me get this straight.
Now listen here my misinformed friend. Bleach was different from everything in the magazine at the time because Bleach is, was, and always will be sick. Always sick. Bleach = Sick.
8Kaiju also has some of that influence as well.
I knew that Black Jack often criticized the medical establishment in Japan, and there are often other medical mangas that came after it bringing up the same themes and topics over and over again, but I never realized that it was that influential to the point that there have been reforms made since then and it’s a common political issue in Japan.
