I doubt ufotable is even investing in the anime in the first place. If anything it's Aniplex, which well, we already know it is by the announcement. We just need to know the other companies with them in the release in 2019.
Is not it a bit exaggerated?
i dont know if I would use fanarts as a base to predict success, using [pixiv] [illustrations only]
It has fujo potential is my point, more so than any of the series you listed with the exception of HQ ofc. Not just pixiv but also twitter, admittedly Ive seen more fujo art on pixiv than on twitter I think. I think the fujo art was more around Rengoku so depending on when they adapt that arc is where we will see it. If it doesn't happen till then it more than likely wont get a fujo push. I wasnt saying more fanart = more success. Its the type of art that I see quite often was fujo, which gives it potential.

Please anime for its 40th anniversary

I really like the covers of the series. They're the best cover of romcom out there to me. It's not just the girls and MC in the cover but the cover has always something going on as if we're seeing part of their life that we don't see in the manga.Kimi wo Shinryaku Seyo! #3 (END)

Not really, it was the same situation with ZIGA in that pixiv artists/2ch were obsessed with a design of a particular character and had nothing really to do with the series gaining a cult following. Kimetsu didn't start getting notable attention until the 24th chapter when Zenitsu appeared and everything just followed suit.
How is that not a cult following? And it had a fair few doujins. You can’t just pick and choose what counts dude
Zestiria was hated in Japan and is widely considered to be the worst entry in the franchise by the time the anime came about nobody cared because all the controversy had been lifted and people were waiting/playing Berseria and despite it being a production disaster the God Eater anime did help generate revenue for God Eater Resurrection.
Yeah man...its not like they were responsible for revitalizing interest in an decrypt company that made nothing but eroge for years
Yeah man look at complete flops like Prince Of Tennis, Kuroko's Basketball and Haikyuu. You do realize that kind of thinking is the reason why Toriko, Beelzebub, and Black Clover failed to meet expectations right? Mainstream/general audience are the hardest audience to appeal to because 9 times out of 10 they won't even read the manga and just watch the anime even series like Detective Conan, Doraemon and Shin-chan despite its mainstream appeal gets outsold by Tokyo Ghoul and Kingdom? Who do you think are buying new HxH volumes? Surely not casuals.
That isnt what I said and that isnt my point since you didnt seem to read the rest of what you quoted? I explicitly said multiple times that youre only getting big numbers IF you are selling to more than Fujos. If youre selling 750K to 1200K volumes, then youre definitely not ONLY appealing to Fujos .Do you think Fujos are the only people buying HxH, HeroAca, and Haikyuu? or even Shingeki for that matter?
Calling it a cult following is stretching it because in this day and age any series can garnered a circle of friends to draw the same shit but nothing can go beyond that other than pure obession over aesthetics than anything in regards to the series itself. Killco-san is a pretty bad example to use because not only did it get canned after 3 volumes and completely forgotten it never went beyond fanart and even that Lady monster from ZIGA got a doujin that does not mean that manga has a cult following at all since nobody started talking about it until she showed up. A better example of a cult following is Chinyūki which despite being canned after 5 volumes due to content left enough of an impression to make a sequel, an flash anime and a live action series.

And that is wrong. You literally have no basis for thinking this way other than saying that the all those manga sell to the same groups of people, not everyone who reads One Piece is an advent manga reader to begin with, not everyone who reads Shingeki also reads OP, that's such a vapid statement to make in regards to manga buyers. A manga call sell over 700k per volume and people can still be a niche amongst general audience or people might not have even heard of it. Also nobody here even said Kimetsu would sell within that range after the anime but then again anything is possible with the boost Tokyo Ghoul and Attack on Titan had this decade.
The original POT was selling the exact range you're saying couldn't possible be selling only to fujos and that's a series who's fanbase are predominately female .
