Not saying the MHA will rise even more. But I remember a bunch of people saying “I can’t see MHA’s getting any higher” during season 2 and season 1

 

[Nemesis]

So, do we have an idea when we'll receive the top 50?

 

[savethecat]

So is it time for a new thread now that we’re started Issue 1 next week?

Asking the real question here. But didn't they say something like only top30 will be release instead of top50 from this year?

I would say that MHA sales will start to level out next year... but I feel like I've been saying that for almost 2 years and they're still slowly growing.

I think S4, will be a bit better received than S3. Sure, the Overhaul arc has issues, but I think the content in the latter half of the season is better than S3's. S3 felt very top-heavy in the quality of the story. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if another anime movie has, or will be, green lit soon.

I do feel some uncertainty with MHA's anime whenever it comes to post-S4. Chapters are becoming a lot shorter. I wonder how long Bones will be able to keep their current schedule sustainable after next year.

Don’t really think it’ll be an issue for at least another two to three years considering we already have roughly half of what would be season 5s content based on how they’ve been adapting the series so far. They’ve barely gained on the manga since they started adapting it all those years ago - at least in regards to chapter count, since the anime started when the manga was at chapter 84 (We already had the content for the first half of season 3 before the anime even began), and as of now, we’re pretty much at 84 chapters ahead of where season 3 ended. If Horikoshi could produce the 48 or whatever full length chapters every year, then they’d theoretically never catch up at their pace. Even if his production has dropped significantly, there’s still a massive buffer because of that. That said, they could all but resolve this issue by doing new seasons every 15-18 months instead of 12 when the time comes to it.

Inject this DOOM shit into my fucking veins.

 

[SharkBait]

Chainsaw Maw might be too brutal and gorey. Dont see it catching on if it is really taking the shock factor approach.

Yeah, a lot were skeptical. It was quite obvious that MHA would keep growing because All Might vs AFO was the biggest fight in the story, and still is so far. It's why I personally feel MHA won't grow anymore now. The arc that followed was good but nowhere near the level of intensity that one fight had.

Then again, if the studio can turn that around and make it better (which is what anime usually do), you never know. But there will be a stopping point for MHA's momentum and it'll come sooner than what some think, just like all other series.
Whether or not MHA stays consistent after that with same level of sales is up to its story and how it keeps readers and viewers interested.
There's a reason why One Piece hasn't been able to keep the additional 1.2 million readers from it's peak. The arcs so far aside from maybe the last 30 chapters or so were below par (even though they were entertaining in their own way) and just hasn't been able to keep everyone in it.

People will keep saying this until they're eventually right, and then act like they knew all along, as if a series doesn't eventually decline anyway. "See, I told you guys this time!"
A broken clock is right twice a day, etcetera etcetera.

Animation is a whole different medium than manga.

Fans of MHA will get just as hype for the Overhaul Arc fights as long as they have incredible animation(which they probably will). It's an action packed arc.

TBH i think S4 will have a stronger reception than 3 based on it being a long action filled arc, and won't lose it's momentum from a less received arc like the Provisional license arc

It'll lose its momentum from School Festival but I actually liked that arc unlike the License Exam so we'll see. There's always the chance that it'll end at the Pro Hero arc which would be a great arc to end the season on and leave Deku's dream as a kicker to watch the next season.

How long would the Overhaul Arc take? i'd image it'll definitely be longer than 1 Cour. 16/17ish episodes.
Personally I liked the School Festival arc. Loved Gentle Criminal and La Brava, and thought the end arc fight was really fun. Idk how anime only's would react to it though

 

[Obitooooo]

 

[shoyoboyo]

I don't know about 16/17 chapters since the anime has pretty strictly followed about 2 chapters per episode rule ever since the USJ invasion arc. The only exception was Hideout Raid, which was about 3 chapters per episode.

Then again, it is an action heavy arc, but it does have a lot a dialogue so it's difficult to tell.

MHA and Jujutsu color page next week?

 

[Tanzo]

CPs next week are for Chainsaw Man, a oneshot, and Jujutsu.
Special chapter of Saotome Shimai wa Manga no Tame nara!? (ugh) from Jump+ next issue.

To the guys happy for Black Clover not in top 10: don't worry Black Clover is surely 11/12.
And i bet you would sell your mom even to be in the top 100, you can all suck Tabata's dick guys.

 

[Franz]

Wow no BC, I'm sure with the digital sales it would be second.

Ahahahahhaha.....

Way, it's a joke ?


In any case, what kind of increase could Kimetsu have from the anime?

That is, not like My Hero or Neverland that sells so much even without the support of the animated series, it makes sales in the media. Certainly there will be an increase, but I do not think so drastic.

I hope there's a new Haikyuu anime at some point, there's clearly still a large fanbase for it.

Always said, if there will be, it will be for the Tokyo Olympics or at least close to the event.

And what's the problem with the shorter chapters? So much can do as with the License Exam and stretch it all out with some fillers. The problem in my opinion lies in the content.

Assuming that the fourth season covers the arch of Overhaul to that of the Festival, the fifth should start with the arc of Endeavor (in which the protagonists are not involved) and continue with that of the exercise of the B (which could bore some spectator) certainly always if after Hori he does not place an arc involving an arc where maybe they fight against a villain
