Even the prime minister of Japan back then referenced demon slayer lol.
I guess you only need ufotable to adapt anything and it will be memorable forever.

Almost everything, ignoring Demon slayer and Fate the last few anime ufotable made where
an adaptation of Tales of Zestiria, which flopped
a anime for Touken Ranbu which is only niche among a handful of fujos and I think stayed that way
And an adaptation for god eater, which also flopped

That also reminds me of an old rumor that Nasu was the reason why ufotable got the series because he recommended the series on his blog awhile before the anime was announced and if you look at the studios catalog over half is Fate and Kara no Kyoukai, so some people think he has some influence over the studio.
It's more then likely bullshit (10 bucks it was a schizo poster on /a/ mad the it was taking over japan), but it would be a little funny if the mushroom man's mid taste in manga caused all of this.

I'm not at all familiar with with shoujo (mainly just getting secondhand info from people who are) but I feel like most shoujo tend to be adapted more into live action stuff if they don't have any heavy fantasy/magic elements attached (Black bird I think got a stage play)
I think the last big shoujo adaptation (minus the fruits basket remake) was Honey Lemon Soda though I only think so because I saw a decent amount of people saying it should of come out when the move did because it lost a lot of momentum
Said people are also talking about a new one called Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku which I have seen ranked pretty high on oricon and I know is getting an anime next season, so depending on how well its adapted might be one of the more popular series of said next season

Coyote Ragtime Show was the only thing I ever saw by them before they did Fate Zero. Also I'm still sad that they did a Toriko OVA and then later Toei got the license and proceeded to completely butcher the manga.

Way too boomer choice now and even not as well-known. For general shoujo currently, some villainess (akuyaku reijo) or saintess (seijo) light novel/manga will get adapted instead. Normal modern day adaptation would be manga has been around 5 - 10 years at most. Of course, more recent ones the "better". Some low-fantasy now and then if not relying on villainess and saintess premise.

Couple years back, Nikkei entertainment did a survey on 50 000 people about their hobby.
Anime/manga is still very male oriented. Meanwhile, women still prefer live drama more and they specify a show title for manga/anime more.
I find it's so amusing that Gintama is in women dominant near Harry Potter, Animal Crossing and Disney. Then Golden Kamuy in 40s age range, above Apothecary Diaries.
For whatever the reasons, Touhou project is in 20s age range.
Nikkei survey.webp

It's more of a "sad" state for English fandom on internet. For girlies, they are more active and into shipping "gay" characters from anything popular rather than participate in actual shoujo and josei show. Apothecary diaries and My happy marriage are naturally popular and have "not-an-incel self-insert" male protagonist. I remember someone on twitter was having a tantrum at weekly-popular-anime poll on male characters because Rudeus was higher place than Kiyoka from My happy marriage.

Apparently there's an Anne of Green Gables anime airing right now of all things, and I learned there's also one from 1979. I'm on episode 37 of that one, and it's actually quite good. The character designs are a little old school I suppose, but it immidiately made me think of Ghibli, and the backgrounds of Howl's Moving Castle. The painted cels are really second to none, they're amazing. And the dub is a similar case to Emma, as it's theater actors contracted for the job and they perform wonderfully.

Its pacing is thoughtful and every scene is given plenty of time to breathe so you can appreciate the visuals. If you can acknowledge the merits of an old masterpiece theater show for its authenticity, you'll probably enjoy this. It's a well made and heartwarming period piece, and a touch more learned and culturally sound than say, Isekai power fantasy #298 or Jew-sponsored nog wank #953.​

The remake, Anne Shirley, just doesn't carry as much of the original. It's good on its own, but you get bored after a while. I never got this from the original, even as a casual watcher.
 
I tried the new Ranma, but only one episode. It looks way worse than I remember the trailer looking. It looks cheap as hell and the colors are way off and weird. Acting is good (watched in English).

It wasn't as censored as I expected, it did seem to remove Ranma's nipples but I was more worried if they'd include modern gender ideology bullshit or something. I think I remember some complaints of that nature but at least it wasn't present in the first episode.

I also finished Psycho Mob 100. It's overrated, best thing I can say is it has some decent characters and a few good fights, but it's pretty mid tbh.

One Punch Man and Mob Psycho are both overrated. One hit wonders who are really just about OP characters giving a monkey dance on screen. Gives you that dopamine fix watching an asshole get perforated with a slap.

OPM is actually pretty good. It's not one of the best anime or anything but solidly good imo. MP100 has no sense of power scaling or storytelling, it's just random shit happening and it repeats the same storybeats repeatedly without going anywhere with them.

And how many times is Mob gonna whine like Gohan? At least when Gohan snaps it's on until the opponent is dead, Mob literally pulled himself out of it and others did too. Let the man kill bro.
 
mob psycho and one punch man are really not overrated

go to hianime.net and look at the estimated schedule for this season. Click around. Go ahead. Look at every anime airing this season

they're not being compared to Hemingway, they're being compared to garbage

what I liked about Mob Psycho wasn't the action or the conflict, it was the character motivation and preferences. Like, the things they cared about. Mob didn't value psychic powers at all, he didn't think of himself as powerful or special. He didn't value the things people did that came easy to them, he valued the things that people worked for and obtained despite themselves. And he didn't start out this way, he was taught it over the course of the series

in Dragonball Z, when a character does something incredibly awesome like when Gohan wigs out and beats the stuffing out of Frieza after seeing Krillin die, you get this excited feeling deep in the pit of your stomach. Like "Oh yeah, it's popping off now!"

when that feeling hits in Mob Psycho 100 it's not when a character is powering up, or punching someone, or yelling at the top of his lungs
it's when Dimple hesitates. He's been doing the right thing for the wrong reason all series, waiting to backstab Mob. But not this time. He does the right thing for the right reason. He changes

After Mob's 20th mental breakdown mid fight, that's when I lost interest. It was only episode 3.

mob psycho 100 episode 3 is the introduction of Dimple (the most important character in the show with the longest character arc) and his cult.

Dimple attacks Mob, who does not realize he is being attacked, and does no damage.

Dimple tells Mob he will be "forever alone"

and then Mob unilaterally beats the everliving shit out of Dimple (to be continued)

Which is unbelievable. There's not a soul on Earth who wouldn't value them if they had them, maybe not as much as other stuff, but the fag acted like they were a burden or useless at best.

Gohan's were used sparingly, which is partly why it worked. It was also hinting at something inside him, so it had story relevance. With Mob it's just a random thing that happens and it never built up to anything. It was a hindrance right to the end (or rather, it wasn't but Mob treated it as such).
