Kimetsu is looking amazing. Which adaptation of a jump manga is the best visually speaking?

Probably Haikyuu overall. YuYu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter are other favorites of mine. Kimetsu is looking great.

Haikyuu is probably the best in recent years and arguably is in the top 5 of all Jump adaptations. Kimetsu might get up there. My only concern is how they'll incorporate digital effects into the series as I'm not a big fan of that part of their work. I mean they look good but sometimes it gets a bit much.

I'd say My Hero Academia, Cobra, and Prince of Tennis.

 

[SharkBait]

KnY looks awesome, while MHA looks the exact opposite.

I agree with the sentiments some denizens of anime communities hold that HeroAca always looks like animators just showed up for the paycheck. Rarely is there anything where it appears that they were motivated to really do the work on the anime leaving many moments lifeless.

surprised to see nobody saying kuroko no basket and happy with the yu yu hakusho answers, is up there for me with hunter and Haikyuu. The quality in kimetsu and the new city hunter movie is impressive so far, hope they live up to it.

For me it's JJBA. Yes, even better than Haikyuu!!. While Haikyuu is a lot more animated, JJBA has the that style that puts it above Haikyuu for me. If you go back to season 1 (part 1 & 2), there was barely animation but it had a lot flair to it to make it visually pleasing. I really think JJBA will hold up visually many years later with the flair it has.

Especially adaptation wise, I put JJBA above the rest. Part 5's adaptation has been the best so far with the staff rearranging content to make the story better and even adding anime original content. The directing is top notch too as always. Best WSJ anime of 2018 for sure.

Other adaptations that I think are some of the best from Jump are
Haikyuu!!
One Piece (pre-TS)
YYH
HxH 2011/1999

As for KnY I'm expecting it to be one of the best visually WSJ anime titles. As someone pointed out, Ufotable's digital effects can be too much as times. I hope adaptation wise it holds up. I feel like this anime will end with the spider arc for season 1.

Early Bleach and Naruto were great. They nailed the art styles and animations were solid for their time.

Agree with everything you said, i just think part 1 won't hold up for many years, i think it does not hold up even now. Maybe is even a block as a entrance point for new fans. Part 5 is awesome and will probably replace part 2 as my favorite.

Any guesses on the studio for Dr.Stone?

 

[SharkBait]

Hell Warden Higuma chp2 was pretty awesome, really phenomenal set of chapters that really gives me confidence its a winner.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I've liked ne0lation chapter 3. Has been an educative chapter regarding how dangerous could augmented-reality games become, and the plot is to avoid a ''Blue Whale'' game.

I absolutely love the art and MC/ne0, but 3 chapters in and ne0lation reeks of a missed potential. Just like Iron Knight and many more in Weekly Shonen Jump. Not sure how it will survive for longer than 18 chapters (unless the axe strikes even before that). The educational part is nice, but the pace is non existant and so far very boring, which is an absolutely terrible thing to do when you are trying to break through in freaking WSJ and ruthless rankings.

Probably the first of the new trio to be axed.

Kuroko no Basket and Haikyuu

For me it looks like Production I.G/WIT.

 

[Jovan]

Wow, Kimetsu no Yaiba anime looks fantastic, hoping animation will look good too.
