Implying Mereoleona won't save Black Clover anime

 

[ChocoBar9]

At this point Toriko-Reborn treatment is more and more probable: they will continue to do episodes until the anime loses popularity. At that point the end of the anime, two more years of publication and goodbye.

The Reborn anime actually sold well though and Toriko never did badly just never met the high expectations set up for it. Everything shown from Black Clover is that it's doing fairly meh, the BD/DVD bombed, the boost wasn't impressive, the ratings aren't exceptional and the PS4 game has had pitiful preorders even lower than Shinobi Strikers which has already flopped. This is is either just to fill in the slot or to keep up exposure so manga sales don't drop any further.

The Reborn anime actually sold well though and Toriko never did badly just never met the high expectations set up for it.

Yet they have had the same duration and a very similar treatment.

Anime series from more than a hundred episodes, so much merchandising, manga finished two years after the end of the anime.

Ah, have they are already out?

the boost wasn't impressive

From the fourteenth best-selling series to seventh is not impressive?

Based Tabata wishing Momiji author to come back soon.

This is is either just to fill in the slot or to keep up exposure so manga sales don't drop any further.

Or simply want to exploit the fame of the manga as long as they can.

Implying Mereoleona won't save Black Clover anime

Let's talk about it in two years when Black Clover starts to be sidelined in favor of the next promising series of Jump (probably Jujutsu).

was hoping that a long running Magmel anime would take BC timeslot

It´s a big news for the fans of Black Clover.

The Reborn anime actually sold well though and Toriko never did badly just never met the high expectations set up for it.

To be fair tho, Toriko's BD/DVD sales were non-existent as well. Ratings were there though. But those ratings really never transferred onto anything else aside from good merchandise sales.

Yet they have had the same duration and a very similar treatment.

Anime series from more than a hundred episodes, so much merchandising, manga finished two years after the end of the anime.

Manga finishing within two years after anime ends is the trend for most series in WSJ.
The only exceptions are Bleach and maybe Prince of Tennis because those 2 had monster sales and were strongly above most decent sellers even with the anime gone.

From the fourteenth best-selling series to seventh is not impressive?

No. No, it isn't.

The next person to make a personal attack on another member is getting recommended to admins for a warning and/or ban. Knock it off.

Can I please be able to just go get a burger without this shit going on while I'm out because that is literally what just happened here, this is why I have to pretend the entire manga community just doesn't exist when I'm on twitter
i can think of a few things i've done to deserve it though tbh

 

[SharkBait]

Apparently Crunchyroll confirmed Black Clover is continuing on in October so it's longer than a year

I am getting so much vindication today. Like yeah. More apologies and due diligence from y'all are needed right now!

 

[Halloween]

Toriko had massively high toy sales, higher than the DVD and volume sales, IIRC.

Do we have any data on BC's toy sales? Could explain a lot.

 

[Caiops]

Yeah, going by Comgnet pre order numbers, Black Clover game will not sell well.

3k-5k first week.

Even Xbox One games sell better than that(Halo, Gears)

 

[Tarot]

We won't know until Bandai and TV Tokyo's financial report.

A continuation strongly suggests and highly implies that BLack Clover physical merchandise is the best selling.

 

[shoyoboyo]

Petition to ban that phrase when

Yeah, here in Brazil every kid loves Asta, everyone have Asta Beyblade

 

[tirakai]

Can we please not do the 'venerate veterans' thing again with another phrase? That whole sequence of events didn't result in anything good.

Anyways back to actual WSJ discussion, the Neverland comment this week has me wondering, do we know about how far in advance cover pages and such are done? Is it a thing the artists do as they're making that week's chapter or is it something planned weeks to months in advanced?

I can maybe picture someone like Oda who knows they'll get lots of covers just having a bunch of premade ones ready whenever but you get enough specific news tie-in covers (like this week's burger one) that they couldn't all be generics made in their free time.

 

[SharkBait]

Yeah, here in Brazil every kid loves Asta, everyone have Asta Beyblade

there is even a dub for your country too, further proof of the worldwide success of BLack Clover.
