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

[BoaHancocksHusband]

Except for the ending. I don't see why JJK is different from that.

But I do have high hopes for Infinity Castle. Way more than any Marvel/DC shit

Big time agreed as a guy who never read the manga it’s hype so far.

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.

It has better animation and a simple enough story.

I read the manga. Is nothing spectacular and the ending feels a bit disappointing. But the anime is doing a far better job.

Because it is by far the only good new generation Anime & Manga battle shonen.

In all honesty Demon Slayer is far closer in quality to My Hero Academia of all things than it is to Jujutsu Kaisen.

Cool Style ,jokes,serious Moments

Not really. Mha is horrid.

I know, and so is Demon Slayer, although not as bad.

Media doesn't have to be good to be popular. It only has to be entertaining.

When you've got a well animated adaptation, your writing doesn't need to be stellar.

Also JJK had a lot of memes

One of which being a massive spoiler that was unavoidable

The difference between JJK and KNY is that I never watched JJK but still got plenty of memes from it on my YouTube feed (e.g. "Nah, I'd win", Lobotomy Kaisen, Opp Stoppa Raga, "Stand Proud", "I alone am the Honoured One", "Imaginary Technique: Purple" etc.).

I have yet to see a single KNY meme appear on my feed. Which is strange because KNY was supposedly one of the most successful manga/anime series ever but it just doesn't seem to have garnered much of a lasting legacy.

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.

 

[soupongo]

Gen alpha are like 11 year olds. I understand that kids media can still be viewed critically, but I don´t think shitting on little kids for liking an anime is the best idea

Thats it
It is so Basic that it can appeal to Anime Nerds and new ones

oh trust me the tumblr girls thirst over Giyu Tomioka

oh yeah there was this weird song that sorta blew up on Tiktok

"You think a demon till I G you(Giyu) like I'm Tomioka"

Nah, AOT, Death Note, One Punch Man all transcended anime, but they are one in a million from the medium, much better than your average anime and can easily be consumed by the masses as well. Demon Slayer simply doesn't make sense, it doesn't stand out at all, I still think it's not organic.

JJK memes are generational
Only the "the one piece is real" and "lend me some haki oden" meme breached one piece containment i think
My favorite is lobotmy kaisen, we need op version of that to describe alot of things here

lmao i remember that

I wasn't saying it as a criticism. Lol. If you can't be good then you should at least aim to be entertaining. Entertainment value comes above all else.

I'd much rather watch entertaining cheese than something that is noticeably better but boring.

KNY does seem rather suspicious. All that supposed popularity and hardly a lick of cultural relevance.

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.
