What I'm saying is that things are only popular because people like them.

That still doesn't make sense. Only because people like said anime is the only reason it's popular?

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is.

demographic, marketing/exposure, and etc.
That only works if people like what they see.

Marketing doesn't guarantee popularity. If it doesn't look appealing, it will not become popular.

Popularity =/= quality.
Popularity = quality for a vast number of people.

And really, that's all that matters.

The song friday is popular. Nobody really thinks it's good. Dumbass.
Shut the fuck up.

We're talking about "fanboys" and "hype" in this thread.

No shit I mean popular in a good way.

Well, I certainly think SnK has been hyped to kingdom come but I think it's much better than SAO so I don't mind so much.

Also, the reasons behind why the two of them are popular are different, the reason why SAO was popular (self insert otaku wish fulfillment) is so much worse than why SnK is so popular.

That was a really shitty example though... That bitch got a lot of money out of all the hate anyway.

EDIT: WHY DID I MISS ALL THE FUN? WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?! WHERE DID THE HATE GO? WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

We're talking about sales, not viewers.

SAO sold, SnK sells.

SAO sold a shitload, SnK still sells a shitload.

Or at least that's what I mean by success, nobody buys something that "sucks".


There's still a ton more reasons for something to be popular over another.

Anime A has commercials and advertisements for it airing everywhere and airs on a popular network.
Anime B has one commercial at odd hours of the night and airs on some obscure channel.
Obviously A is going to become more popular then B assuming they are of the same quality due to exposure.

Casual watchers who just catch say, Toonami, on Sundays or whenever it airs are only going to be exposed to what it's airing.

I mention demographic to because what someone liked at age14-16 will probably change by the time they're an adult.

There's a whole host of other influences to, I'll just end on the most important one.

They're not superior human beings such as myself.

Yeah, you're missing the point, good job on that.

And the last part was unneeded as it's not true in the slightest, oh yeah, edit your picture.

From the onset of page 1, this thread was clearly steering into a territory familiar of insults, derails, and the common symptoms toward a bad direction.
Officially, this is just like any other vs. threads. As there isn't enough already in their separate forums (overrated topics, hate topics, etc.), this thread just invites all sort of insults waiting to happen.
