I'm just impressed it dethroned One Piece in popularity for a little while.

That shouldn't even be possible.

One Piece is as big as it gets inside Japan, though.

There are several bigger countries than Japan, though.

I will always hype up Jujutsu Kaisen though lets see how Season two does (currently airing).
Hope that s*** gets better. 1st season was disappointing as hell. The hype really let me down.

Why did you delete your post where you said wikipedia was a valid source even though their numbers are out of date and they are missing franchises?

Even if you go off One Piece volume sales ONLY, it has sold over 515 million, which would put its revenue at at least 3 billion, which would make it eligible for that list

Then you have ignored the part that says it only goes on volume sales while dismissing the estimated value of the franchise that puts it well above Demon Slayer

Have you considered that this tweet is over a year old and that it has sold a non-zero number since then? Like maybe I dunno... a few more volumes have released since then?

No, it couldn't be.

Whattt

I'm interested in what you think is good because that was hype as hell.

The show really ticked all the boxes for me. Lovable protagonists, villains you love to hate, interesting overarching plot as well as episode to episode. Beautiful animation, bombastic and interesting fights, all choreographed really well. It has a compelling power system. The overall tone had an atmosphere that was dripping with dark, spooky vibes.

I don't know what more you could ask for in a show. The only thing I didn't like was the movie.

Idk if this is neither here nor there but demon slayer has also become the most normie anime to watch. I frequently see people wearing DS stuff or have DS stickers on their cars and shit

Remember that time a journalist ran up to Hayao Miyazaki to interview him while he was picking up garbage to ask about Demon Slayer, and the entire interview was just him going "I don't know what that is, I'm just trying to pick up trash."

It's funny cuz everyone ITT said demon slayer was carried by it's animation, but I found Kaisen to be the exact same. The fights were cool, but I honestly only liked the first one. Outside of that, the show was Shonen of week #347b, as if the artist behind Bleach decided to make Naruto. The villains were the only kinda interesting part. Hated the second half of the 1st season. Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed the movie, and was really interested to see more of that character rather than Naruto and Sasuke. Fortunately, Chainsaw Man and Eminence in Shadow helped pull me out of the despair.

@ImAMarvel
Don't people still talk about how good that one is? I've still got to watch Brotherhood in full at some point.
Definitely recommend FMA: Brotherhood (2009?)

I don't recommend FMA. (2003)

The FMAB is canon. FMA (2003) started off canon, and steered off into IMO weird shit.

True, the end of FMA isn't canon, but the first half of it is. I'd say least recommend the beginning, since Brotherhood kind of speeds through a lot of the material that was already covered by FMA.

I like the original FMA tbh. FMA Brotherhood goes more into the "humor" side and I liked it better when the homunculus had more of a relationship with the cast than just being nobodies.

But the first half of FMA 2003 is also loaded with filler, changes characterization, and alters the material in questionable ways (scar not killing Nina-Alexander is an example that immediately comes to mind)

Honestly disagree.
I said it started off as canon, but it also introduced a lot of non canon material too in the middle of the canon material that frankly dragged things. Then somewhere midway mostly canon went to straight 100% filler.

I'd also argue you really dont miss anything of value that FMAB speeds through. You can literally skip the 2003 version and not be confused about anything. The closest somewhat important guy they breeze through is Yoki I think his name was, and honestly not much was missed. Brotherhood did a decent job breezing by his dragged out storyline in FMA (2003).

I enjoyed the manga and enjoyed reading through it... The story was simple and most of the characters were one note but it was a fun read...

The anime has some fantastic fight scenes that turn some pretty short fights in the manga into a spectacle... Looking forward to see them do some of the future fights...

Both fair points. Maybe it just didn't bother me because I actually enjoyed the original FMA. So Brotherhood speeding through the early arcs actually bothered me lol. Don't get me wrong though, I still think Brotherhood is the better of the two, but I enjoyed the 2003 series as well.

it did

i think they got it mixed up. in 2003 Scar doesn't kill Tucker while in brotherhood/the manga he does

i also prefer the 2003 handling of Nina's death, both how the Elrics come across her remains and the aftermath scene are particularly great
