He is a VETERAN. Neuro was also a very successfull series.
For people who are new to the anime
Because the first cour is going to be the festival arc, the Stain Arc isn't even fully confirmed yet tbh.
The PVs only show content from the first few episodes, which would be the Sports Festival. They did the same with S1. It doesn't mean we aren't getting to Stain, which we are. There would be no point showcasing any finished animation they have, if any, of the Stain stuff this early. Hell, they didn't even reveal Shigaraki's voice actor until the week before he appeared.

The premise and that's pretty much it. Though to be fair readers genuinely liked it because of its depiction of Japanese Highschool life that was pretty much the most down to earth aspect of the manga and the most fully realized setting in a school manga from Jump that doesn't glorify highschool life as for everything else I'm perplexed by it too since the manga is really just a whole ball of nothing through all of its run; the art sucks, the characterization is really weak and the story goes off the rails entirely once the true antagonist appears and it turns out the actual premise of the manga is one giant lie. In the hands of a good writer AssClass could have been really good and own up to its popularity but as of now its pretty much will be remember as just a fad ala Bleach.
Yet none of the are remotely memorable characters, its easy to say "these characters are human" (which is a laugh by the way since Karma isn't close to being realistic neither is Nagisa's and Kaede over the top backstories) its a whole other story for the manga to actually show it. You know how people in this thread stated that Rurouni Kenshin doesn't really deserve all the hype it gets yet despite that they love Kenshin's character arc and think his romance with Kaoru is the best romance in Jump history? What aspects of AssClass stands out in comparison to the rest of Jump? I like Koro-sensei but I feel he became less interestig the more you learn about him, is it particularly hilarious as a comedy? Not really. Matsui has already admitted that he's not a good artist so the art doesn't stand out and the emotional clutch that Matsui tries to pull at the end is lost because you don't care about these characters as individuals just as the notion that everything the series had been predictably leading up to should be this tearjerker to end all tearjerker but it doesn't come. I would honestly say that Neuro was better because despite the rushed as shit ending Matsui felt less restrained and his trademark twisted humor was better represented.
I disagree entirely especially since Jump's current lineup has a slew of interesting titles (barring Black Clover) now compared to the last decade. I can very much see The Promised Neverland being praised to high heavens once it gets more exposure even if it doesn't get as high sales as AssClass.
As I said, they're not the most developed or solid characters individually, but when you look them as a group they actually work, because they have quirks (some of them are an overexageration of a single trait, I know), fears, dreams, and characteristics that go well with the theme of the series. It's about growing, enjoying childhood, making memories, learning about life, all in the spawn of a school year.
Haven't read Neverland but time will tell.
Not 100% sure about this but to me this sounds the most logical, it's either because it's a lot easier to catch up with the story by getting the volumes(as well as filling out a manga collection) or because of the new season airing next week and people love merchandise when it comes to a series they like so yeah there's that.
And that's what I think Matsui was going for, obviously a story is not going to develop every single character in the cast so I can't fault him for that but to me I just couldn't care about them as individuals (well except for Ryouma since I'm a sucker for those type of archetypes and I like his development throughout the series and I thought him becoming a bro to Itona was pretty endearing), conceptually AssClass is sound and unique hence its appeal but I thought it wasted its potential.
I agree, once again AssClass does a good job of depicting how being a teenager in highschool sucks and isn't the rose colored experience many series make it out to be its just that every thing could have been done better.
I think it'll appeal to the same audience that liked Death Note and considered it an untouchable masterpiece despite the CLEAR drop in quality in the second half. Anything that's not a traditional shounen appeals that sort of crowd but you're right time will tell.
Its a combination of a reprint of volumes 1~12, plus the new volume coming out on April 4 plus the 2 volumes of Smash, however much they were but its likely not over 100k and the 2 novels and Vigilante vol 1 also coming out on the same day as volume 13. Do note that all the spinoffs and novels print numbers aren't going to break 100k each so maximum its around 400k there. Even if as an example, if they reprinted 100k of each of volume 1~12, that already added 1.2 million copies. They usually reprint more than that each time looking at the new numbers announced each time but They are also probably expecting a decent boost from the TV series starting this week.
I'm curious, which to you (in your opinion) are good writers?
Don't you know? Things here are based on taste. There is no technically right way to do anything, this is bullshit. It is all about taste.
I'm not sure about other old members, but this pretty much defines you haha.Don't you know? Things here are based on taste. There is no technically right way to do anything, this is bullshit. It is all about taste.
Everybody here has your own standard, talk about technicality here is even offensive.
You shouldn't judge me by my favorite series because of course you are talking about Nisekoi, that's what defines me in this forum anyway. hahaha
