I don't. Usually when people hate all mainstream anime it's because they never saw them or they want to seem superior and unique.

I don't know why someone would dislike a work just because of the fanbase.
A show doesn't have control over what kind of fanbase it has and it not like everyone in the a fanbase has the same personality.


I don't do this, but mainly because the fanbase is annoying. They connect it the people behind the fanbase.

This is partly why people like Justin Bieber and One Direction are so massively hated, due to their increasingly annoying fanbases.

No I see what hes coming from ,like for instance with Fate Stay Night UBW which probably has the most obnoxious fan base atm.
Even if you genuinely like the series for what it is,if you try to have a normal conversation and you're not at that level of absolute worship towards it or have some minor gripes with it you get instantly slandered and attacked from all sides.
Naruto's fanbase was also for a very long time the exact same way,where if you would say anything remotely negative about it you would get the exact same reaction.It didn't help that the majority of said fanbase was comprised of very young male viewers

It is pretty frustrating that the director of UBW is shit. Most people who read the VN had a great experience and it is frustrating when people don't get it due to the adaptation. I still really enjoyed UBW anime but that is probably because of my Vn knowledge.

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

I think they don't really hate mainstream anime, I think they only want to express different opinion from others, thus being against mainstream. But everyone knows, that they are mainstream and so popular for a reason, that is being great anime. I'd say those who hate on them, have really original taste, which I can't say is good or bad. Or they simply want to express different opinion to spice things up.

Nobody hates mainstream anime because they are mainstream. More likely a massive audience has established huge hype around a series as the best thing ever. When a person watches it he realizes it is average or downright terrible. He isnt being a hipster, hater or elitist. You just want to believe this because they said your favorite show is shit. And the reason mainstream anime gets more hate is because everyone watches it. There are plenty of shit anime who just didn't become mainstream and faded into obscurity.

The fanbase might be annoying, but they have no control over what their fans do. You should be hating them for their music and attitude and not their fans.

It says SHUEISHA inc. If this was a promotion for it, inside France, it will have the name of the French publisher, not the Japanese publisher. Naruto's publisher in France is ''Kana'' for example.

That exactly prove it's not popular, let alone mainstream. Sales are the most accurate representation of popularity. You brought zero evidence of good sales, or anything that even remotely hints at it popularity, be it in France, or the US.

Toriko is not popular outside of Japan, that's a factual statement.

I took it from the France website of course Shueisha still wants their name on it.
It was a dual volume sale, GG no re.

And all you have for evidence is some rankings with small ass numbers.
Toriko has proven in it's Japanese sales and anime dub that it does sell well in the beginning and overtime sells even better which translate into international sales as well, unlike other series sales that fall like a rock.

No, if it's a sale inside France, Shueisha, has no claim on it. I'm guessing this is just an ad, like the ones in site like nyaa, and such. Those are merch, not manga volumes, so I don't know what you mean by 'dual volume' sale. You also didn't even give the link to the french website, not that it would change much.

above 30k in manga sales is not a small number outside of Japan, which is what the popular manga sell per volume. Those ranking represents the popularity of the country, how else would I measure the popularity of something in France and US? based on online forums?

I'm talking about the west here, it's very baffling, that after all this time of me repeating myself, you still try and shoehorn the Japanese sales, even though they are completely irrelevant, to the argument of Toriko's popularity outside of it.

Irrelevant, to sales in France, and outside of Japan. And correction it has ''popular sales'' in Japan, not mainstream. Toriko is not popular outside of Japan, that's a factual statement. You can continue pretending it's popular, but I will keep repeating the factual sources indicating otherwise.

No, I'm not even comparing to one piece and Naruto and AoT. I'm comparing to the lowest ranked manga each month, and it still doesn't make the cut. If it doesn't make the cut, then it's not popular, which is my original statement, I didn't claim it had zero sales, just low sales, that proves that it's not popular, let alone mainstream outside of Japan, that's the most basic of common sense.

No, actually I have with me every sales from 2003 to 2014, ranking over 200 manga volumes, and the cut off is 2600 unit sales (for 2013 for example), and Toriko is not one the list in 2013 or 2014. That means it sales are so low, it doesn't even reach they yearly sales. I think I've seen it once or twice in the weekly list, and it wasn't even in the top 5.

When hype and expectations don't match the content, the only person to blame is the one who bought into it. Too many people don't like the concept of something they dislike being praised or well received by the majority. This leads to a spiteful attitude that is really just blown out of proportion and aimed at those people rather than the anime itself.

I don't think elitist actually HATE the mainstream anime, they most likely just hate the fanbase. I watch anime and read anime often enough to be considered "elitist" at least among my peers and on the internet if you judge by drama/romance but one of my favorite series is still SAO. I also don't think Naruto and Bleach are utter crap, I do hate One Piece though.

That point is not going anywhere, one ad doesn't prove anything, and it has rights when it's in Japan, if those were sold inside France, their copyright wouldn't be there. And unlike Toriko, Nisekoi actually appears on France and US sales.

Most likely. Those yearly sales, are from the archives of BookScan, not NY times Weekly.

Yes they work with the french to sell their series.

Bookscan is highly flawed as well with their sales info, as is everything manga/anime related in the west.
They probably don't care enough to go look at it's online sales.
This is a case of ignorance by the executives since they can't see the demand for toriko or they're marketing it wrong.

Because Toriko is more in the online business, people are scared and embarrassed by Toriko, this age of skinny girly looking beta men is ruining it.
Tell them to go put Toriko in their selection, pm me if they need a review for the series.

No they don't. French publishers exist, like I gave with my example with Naruto's French publisher Kana. It's like saying Shushiea is the one who sells Naruto and Bleach on the US, when that's Viz Media.

Proof they are highly flawed? proof they don't track online sales? proof that Toriko even had 3000 unit sales on Amazon? and actually now that I remember Akame ga kill vol.1 was ranked first on Amazon, and it was ranked first on NY times.

So what's next? you are gonna tell me you personally bought 3000 copies, but they didn't appear in the ranking because you got them from the black market lol?

Toriko is factually not even remotely popular in the west.

Why do people hate anything that's popular? It's the human nature. Gotta feel somehow superior.

Shueisha (along with Shogakukan) owns them obviously and even if they don't they still need permission since it's their series and won't allow illegal sales.

Google "bookscan is flawed", they do but not for toriko because they think it's a small series, the first several volume definitely did but people must have moved to other sites, NY sucks.

That's...a brilliant idea :O
F*ck it when I get a good job I'll do it, in 2 years time just remember this day ;)

It is but the economy and the manga market being complete trash in the west is preventing it from entering the rankings.

The simple answer is that some people aren't satisfied with having an opinion and want everyone else to have it too. Everyone has different tastes, there are times when I've really enjoyed watching something that feels absolutely awful looking back at it, but did that make me enjoy it any less when I did? No.

People have different tastes from one another and heck even with themselves at different points of time. You like what you like and don't what you don't. There's nothing wrong with expressing what you like and dislike it just becomes stupid when you say that what you like is definitely better and what you dislike is garbage.

I don't hate it. It's just that 15 yo brats who think they know how the World works, which they obviously do NOT, come up with high as fuck ratings for mainstream shows. I hate this so much. I would gladly sacrifice ALL them mainstream shows along with those 5 yo tasteless plebs to satan. I don't give a fuck about how much of a pleb others are BUT I do when their ratings affects the overall score of a show. When people go like "Oh my god. Fairy tail is my life, the best show ever made. Thank you Jesus, you saved anime", I don't care but when they log in to MAL, make multiple accounts to up-rank a mainstream show I blow up.
