General & Others Why is Gen Alpha so Obsessed with JJK?

Entertainment in and of itself is a quality. A quality that Demon Slayer is missing imo, relative to how popular it got atleast. Naruto, Bleach, DB, One Piece, JJK, all have a draw to them.

When I watch Demon Slayer it feels like chatgpt created it.
Entertainment=quality
Tell that Marvel fans

I've never heard someone irl or even here ever say Demon Slayer is a great show or their favourite show. It's too cookie cutter/forgettable. Maybe it's different over there in Japan.
well the success is there
It is in top ten Most sold mangas

I mean if its global popularity it could make sense

i know couple anime franchises that ecclipse one piece or naruto in popularity in japan but no fucker even knows them in the west ( which not even true from Demon slayer, people atleat now that exist)
Demon Slayer was shitting on One Piece in sales. That's the thing, but I think all of it comes from Japan. It was so overwhelming that it was impossible to ignore even for the West. Not because it was entertaining but simply because it was like "this manga is apparently lapping every other series in sales" But no one really fucks with Demon Slayer like that over here because it's simply too mid to care for.

Yeah like i said if its because of japan that makes sense, there are series that are generational there no one here cares
Like for example at the top of my head, the most profitable franchise toei has is not dragonball or one piece but pretty sure its pretty cure :Toriyamatroll:

I still think Demon Slayer has to be an industry plant, botted to popularity series. There's just no way something that mid could blow up to that extent.
Demon slayer is like the avatar of animes
Breaks every sale record but i've never seen anyone say they are a fan of it or it's great or never felt any cultural impact.
Death note, AOT, OPM etc.. took the planet by storm and you can understand why and even they couldn't touch OP in sales, yet the mother of mid shonen slop was doing 5x or 6x yearly OP sales after it had already ended :willight:.
Who tf are these 50+ million people buying KnY manga volumes year after year?
Does the mangaka have a rich mom or something?

Demon slayer sales happened during covid when everybody was ready to go out again

On top of that it had a PHENOMENAL anime and movie back to back

Rengoku was also pretty goated

Also it was in its final arc so many ppl were jumping on the ending hype train, happened to JJK too

Demon slayer sales is a phenomenon that can never be replicated ever again. It was just the right place and time
