I wonder if the MachiAsobi announcement is 2 shows and not one. And the VAs are Emma and Nezuko.

 

[MangAniMY]

Jump twitter account is playing with my heart.

 

[Tanzo]

Kimetsu.com sounds dumb, but then again Yuuna's page is just yuragisou.com so it's plausible.
Also

 

[nonowa]

Yonko knows something about the Neverland anime so I think he might be right this time...

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

For the moment it can be any thing. Still, from here to one year, I'm sure we're getting anime announcement (and Dr.Stone and BokuBen in 2019-2020. RxL. I'll guess too)

No reason we can’t get all three this year honestly, though it’s unlikely. I reckon we’ll probably get at least one announcement for the three this year, possibly even before Kimetsu.

 

[Nemesis]

Yeah, I don't know if we're getting them this year but at least next year those three are getting an anime since they're the most established manga that don't have an anime besides Kimetsu

 

[cody]

Double anime announcement for Neverland and Kimetsu? My heart...

 

[Ninjaz]

I mean realistically, what would someone need a domain called "Kimetsu" for. Not exactly the most common naming for anything.

 

[SharkBait]

Whats next after kimetsu, RxL? We never learn. I think were almost out of running wsj series.

And Dr.Stronk

Do you guys think RxL will survive long enough for an anime?
I get that some think because KnB got the same treatment, RxL would too. But if I ain't mistaken KnB sold a lot more pre-anime than RxL did.
Also, basketball is a sport that a lot of youngsters can relate to. Golf? Not so much, unless I'm missing some big information that Golf is a major sport among youngsters in Japan.

It'll have to or else there would have been no point in the 200k print run it was given or its existence if not for "this is going to be a hit with fujos when the anime hits".

Well there's no real reason to get rid of it when there's not even the slightest hint of any new series endangering it after 13 months of rocky performance... I feel like they'd be stupid not to animate it since you can assure it'll get at least a decent boost.

I doubt Sumo is very popular among children either, yet Hinomaru Zumou is getting an anime.

High schoolers play golf though. If they didnt think people would be interested in golf they would have not run it in the magazine.

I saw a tweet recently that wondered where anime fans would rank which shitshow was worse in recent memory, Ichigo ep14 or Sakura's "confession" during the Five Kage Summit. Idek which I'd choose, which is sad in of itself. The user justanotherone highlighted a point to me awhile ago, how the creators add to the mess with their storyboard execution so that no matter what, the audience will create dialogue on it, toxic or not.

Not really. According to Statista in 2016, only 2.4% of the 10-14 demographic play golf, and only 2% of the 15-19 demographic play golf, in Japan. The sport is in decline in Japan and from what I've read, it has an even bigger image problem of being a sport for old, rich business people than the sport has in the west.

Again, if they didnt think there'd be no interest in golf, then they wouldnt have run it in the magazine.
