just because it's selling well in america doesn't mean jackshit now, it was not popular in japan and it won't get an anime adaption for a long time if ever now, sadly

I would REWRITE the whole story if I adapt it, oh, also get a new cast at it too

Ah this.

Uh... I think the reason why people didn't like it in America is due to it's artwork, and, Naruto is sterotyped Ninja -> Japanese culture

Sooooooooooo, what exactly are you referring to?

I guess that means you've met every single American and had long conversations with them about their taste in manga.
Also, this is the 2 Year Time Skip volume. I'm pretty sure that was able to spark everyone's interest in the series again.

actually in NYC barely anyone likes or even reads/watches OP. If anyone has ever tried anime/manga, its always bleach and naruto- pirates sound "lame". All my friends who are actually avid readers/watchers HATE OP, and LOVE bleach and/or naruto. I mean, some of them do like One Piece- but no one loves it and more usual then not, people here usually hate it or dont give it a chance. Yes im from NYC- and seeing OP on a top 10 list in Japan is every day life and nothing to be surprised about, but seeing it on a NY top 10 list? miracle. i honestly do wish OP would become more popular here, in my current school, i only know like 2 people other then myself who like/read/watch OP :( and atm my school has 600+ students. In middle school out of maybe 300/400 students in that grade, maybe 5 other then myself liked/read/watched the series. there were tens of people that read/watched/liked naruto and bleach- you know, the most popular amongst all series in middle school was Death Note actually... even people who didnt usually read/watch manga/anime liked Death Note... and lots of girls also liked fruit basket... honestly, in NYC very few notable manga's and anime are known- its so sad :(
