@@simonerz8248 Ending a manga doesn't mean that the mangaka run out of ideas (at least not every time). In case of Kimetsu no Yaiba, Promised neverland or Ansatsu no Kyoshitsu, the mangaka had a clear ending in mind and just told everything they wanted to. One piece focuses more on the adventure, and as such it can tell a much longer story. All the others had a very clear objective - be it Killing Muzan, killing kori-sensei or freeing humanity from demons. Finding the one piece is more vague, so it can expand with sagas to reach that objective that is not that clear how to do so.

Chainsaw Man is literally the only shonen I've ever read or watched that actually feels like it was planned from the get-go. Fujimoto said what he wanted to say, then dipped out. So, so many stories, particularly in a medium that highly encourages long-running stories, feel excruciatingly drawn out. Chainsaw Man feels like it was meticulously thought-out, so Fujimoto's only job during its actual run was to draw it.

[@andrecostafranca]

Yeah, people say that it was rushed, but I think it had exactly the time fujimoto needed to show WHAT is Chainsaw Man. Some people even think part 2 was just a jump push and Fujimoto wasn't intending to do it, but I think the mand knows what he's doing considering since the end of the series he said it would have 3 parts in total.

Honestly the power vacuum that will happen once One Piece ends will be unreal. Jump may well just collapse in on itself.

[@YourPrivateNightmare]

implying One Piece will ever end. Oda will literally introduce Interstellar travel before he ever decides to wrap up the story....probably because at this point he knows that there will never be a satisfying payoff to the whole thing so he has to delay the inevitable as long as he can.

[@jakewurtz1157]

I’m sad to hear about Dr.stone. I personally really liked the anime, and yes, there was a lot lacking in the animation, but I found the strength was in the really exciting technological progression. I hope there’s another season.

[@riffz6065]

Season 2 has already been confirmed. The sales probably dropped because of the anime tbh but I think Dr stone will stay popular/relevant for quite some time:)

[@tricksterhuaun]

@@riffz6065 You're talking nonsense. I get you don't like the anime but at least try to remain coherent please.

[@riffz6065]

@@tricksterhuaun That's not even close to what I said. When an anime comes out, Naturally the sales in the manga will drop due to people preferring the convenience of watching the show rather than reading. I love dr stone and thought I made that clear in my previous comment. So idk what the hell you're going on about.

[@0Clewi0]

The thing is that too many animes just adapt the manga without making the real work of making it fit as an anime first of all. As much as I dislike the anime of Black Clover at least it's trying to be it's own thing by imitating the long runners of old (and one piece) and even if I think that the low pace breaks the charm that it keeps with it's troupe heavy use it makes it a work of it's own and a good gateway for younger audiences.

[@jakewurtz1157]

0Clewi0 I’m a bit ashamed to admit, but I haven’t read the manga, so I don’t exactly know what visual/audio flourishes would have improved it, but I do agree you. The Junji Ito collection is proof, although it’s a particularly egregious example. I never thought such riveting artwork could be made so boring to watch.

[@SunsetSullivan]

I feel like Chainsawman has been great so far because it fixes a lot of the problems that Fire Punch had around pacing and plotting. It feels much more straightforward, way less meandering, and has a clear and concise goal for its main characters both externally and developmentally. I think as a result it's much stronger since, in my opinion, Fire Punch was way too nihilistic to be enjoyable. Chainsawman tempers its cynicism with genuine empathy and care for its characters along with more humor to make the story a lot more palatable. It's been a great improvement on Fire Punch so far especially in the pacing department.

[@EEEdoman]

Fire Punch wasn't trying to be a shounen series at all though, its entire point was its nihilism. I still consider it one of my favorite manga of all time largely because of its highly subversive nature, trying its hardest at pretty much all times to drag away from the main story to become commentary on media and emotions, completely evading traditional story structure at seemingly all costs. Its definitely rough around the edges and its inherent subversive nature makes it really hard to digest, but I found it to be very powerful and wouldn't have it any other way.

Completed fire punch manga a month back, that shit gave me depression

[@TitoSilvey]

@@EEEdoman Dude, chapter 45 ("become the fire punch for me") is probably the hardest I've ever been hit by a chapter. Series went from balls to the wall horrific, to just plain horrific. Fujimoto is an under-rated master.

[@SunsetSullivan]

@@EEEdoman I acknowledge the experimental qualities of Fire Punch as very interesting stuff to discuss, but I'm not sure if the rejection of common storytelling stuff actually served the story in any meaningful way. I also dont think it's a shonen at all, it's very clearly a seinen, but I'm more focused on the meta plot of the story (as you said the media stuff) and how it kind of overtook the story itself. It certainly made it different, but at the cost of hurting a really interesting premise. Especially when it started to become really meandering around the end.

[@larsnyman2455]

I can’t wait for state of Shonen Jump 2021, so much has happened this year: the ends of Demon Slayer, Promised Neverland, and Haikyu, and Chainsaw Man part 1, the cancellation of Samurai 8 and Zipman, Time Paradox Ghostwriter quickly fizzling out, not to mention Act-Age getting banished to the Shadowrealms. On top of that we’ve seen the rise of Mashle and Undead Unluck, promising series Hardboiled Cop and Dolphin and Build King, and the insanity in the current arcs of One Piece, My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, and a bunch of the nonweekly series I can’t wait for next year’s video going over all of it
