| Nah probably not. No Game No Life and Tokyo Ghoul were the most popular of last year, it has a chance to surpass those but I dont think it will ever come close to SOA or AoT popularity. Plus it will definitely need more than 12 episodes, which wont happen anytime soon. |
Zazie122 said: That`s because the anime is still on-going, i give 1 to 2 months and everybody will know what OPM isLoooool no. People who don't even regularly watch anime have most likely seen SnK and SAO, or at the very least heard of them. Ask those same people about OPM? Nah, they won't have heard of it. It's not even close. |
 |
| Probably not, the audience for One punch man is a lot more speciffic than the other two, because it mostly appeals to fans of superhero and shounen comics, a lot of which probably wont watch it. |

MilkQueen said: ah I hope it does! I want merch !!! and I want to see more cosplays !! I only saw /one/ Saitama at AX this year ;c; I've never seen SAO, what's the appeal? Is it the moe boy? Genos can be p meo so idk. I have seen AoT and it was alright but I thought the hype around died down? All these animes are very different so it's hard to say if the popularity of OPM will rise or fall buut here's to hoping it does ok!! I really want a second season.. also smh at people who say it doesn't have waifu material, Genos is the cyborg waifu none of you deserve. How does snk hype dying down has anything to do with what the thread is asking? hype doesn't last forever, every entertainment medium that has been hype, has eventually died down, its only natural. Not to mention the fact that there hasn't been any new content for two+ years. Only new contents is from the ovas and manga which is a monthly. So really it shouldn't be that hard to understand. When snk season 2 comes out the hype will be back and when it ends it will die down again. Rinse and repeat. Just like mainstream series like game of thrones. Basically what op is asking if opm will be as hype/popular as snk or sao in their prime. Which was 2012/2013 respectfully. |

| If I remember correctly, AoT manga sold 52 million copies which I think ranked 4th in terms of sales only preceded by One Piece, DBZ and Naruto and even beating Death Note. How much is the increase in manga sales of OPM? |

Tekraz said: Klad said: How can you be so sure First off the source material won't be that far ahead once the anime ends. If a sequel does comes it'll take atleast 4 years or more at the rate the OPM chapters are released. A lot of successful series have sequels released in quick succession. Monogatari, SAO, code geass, fate/zero etc. Now there are exceptions ofc, so it's not always the case. Other popular anime with no season 2s like FMA and Death Note are usually completed with no need for sequels. Really like the way you think & argue. Yes, OPM's manga not only great at the plot, but extraordinarily overwhelming in the art (compared to most of shonen manga). As the result, the publishing is significantly slower than the others. This fact ultimately affect the number of material available to be used for the future anime adaptation. |

Risara said: JumpinJC said: No, but it'll probably surpass Hunter x Hunter (2011) in popularity. hahahahaha. Out of the long runners, Hunter x Hunter is probably one of the least popular so OPM becoming bigger wouldn't really be a shocker. I guess the recently announced dub for HxH could change that, though. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
gabrielrroiz said: actually I would like more if opm did not have a second season making more episodes under such a simple premise will only be trying to get more money of the fans since the anime does not have much to show The one shotting is only the joke 4 times throughout the series so far, It's dropped after the sea king arc. The series is currently in the middle of it's third multi-chapter fight with Saitama. Also, what would that have to do with Mob Psycho 100. Kreion said: Are you kidding - OPM only gets worse as it goes on. The more serious it becomes the less interesting it is as it constantly drifts towards generic shounen with occasional comedy, honestly I find the current arc boring as fuck. Saitama is barely in it and the manga is kinda flat beyond him...it's supposed to be a comedy. Don't get me wrong it has some great little arcs, the water guy one and another one which I can't really describe are fun...but that's it. Saitama has been the sole focus of the current arc unless you're talking about the redraw version. Anyways, Saitama has no idea what's going on,so it wouldn't make sense for him to be involved and his absence even ties into the next arc. Anyways, if you find the current stuff boring(which I don't get, but I digress) or don't like the rest of the cast(which I also don't get), then the only thing I could recommended skipping to towards the end of the arc at chapter 84 in the original when Saitama becomes the focus again. |

| It's already 1/2 of the show and no big boom in media like AoT. I am just happy that it is highly rated everywhere. |

| Well, it's better than both. |

It still need a ton(147.5 Million sales) to get to the 4th position. |

Illyricus said: Luxun17 said: it doesn't have waifu materials so no. Have to prove you wrong:  |
| Yeah, man ofc it will totally surpass it all |
| It will and it is more lackluster than SAO |
| doesn't have enough edge or action to |
  |
| In terms of popularity in the west: only if it gets on Netflix. Maybe. Eventually. People who don't watch anime on the reg helped bring up the hype on sao and snk bc of the easy access from there. Heck, even in this thread, op uses aot instead of snk. I think it's something to consider. It might surpass sao but titans..? Kinda doubt it. Tumblr's really been bringing up the hype on opm tho like,,, wow |
Praland said: If it reaches that status it will be as hated as those too, so mind that. There's a shitload of really popular shows that aren't hated. My bet is, SAO, SNK and TG get a lot of hate because they're shitty shows. |
 |
| No it won't. SAO is popular because it's a good mix of pretty much everything. Harem, action, romance and even set in a game world. It's also easy to identify with the protagonist. AOT is popular because it's setting is very unique and serious. The story is also very well done and no character is safe from death. OPM is "just" another super hero action comedy show. No matter how well it's done, it's just too generic to enter the top 3 (talking about MAL here). |

This is such a lame and generic description that it applies to 95% stories in the world. Wich includes AoT and SAO. SAO and AOT have way more than that to offer though. What does One Punch Man have except the action and comedy? Just to be clear I don't hate on OPM, but I can't see it getting nearly as popular as SAO or AOT. Personally I'll probably rate it higher than SAO once it finished. |

You said you haven't watch attack on titan in another thread. But yet you claim its a shitty series. So you've already made up your mind that you won't like the series cool. |

It's a matter of taste, the full CGI + frantic Bayesque camera doesn't work at all for me. I know many people think the opening is beautiful, I think it's ugly. The over-the-top drama... C'mon man, we all saw those moments on a review somewhere, it's just too much. |

Choosing one show over another is preference, not an informed opinion. Also opening =/= show. Going by your logic Madoka is as pure as a kids magical girl series and Shadow star is a morning cartoon, how someone can use opening as an example of judging a show is beyond me and another LOL as using review as example since you can find dozens of them praising AoT as well. |

You don't need an informed opinion to bet. "my bet is, blablabla are shitty shows", but it's still an opinion. And you can totally read or watch a review praising a show, and decide that it isn't for you, and vice-versa. Wich is actually what I did with SNK on the first place. I have no affinity with the people recommending it, and their arguments fall flat for me. Are you going to tell me you never had that "this is going to be shit" feeling when hearing about an anime/watching some footage? Because it's exactly the feeling SNK gives me, it's exactly what I said in my post, and I fail to understand why you're picking on me instead of trying to convince me to watch it. |
|
| dunno, seems hard the biggest democraphic is shounen, sao and Aot are shounen Opm is almost a seinen for contents also both sao and Aot got their popularity when they managed to get viral on other social networks (if, we're talking about MAL popularity, sales popularity is an other thing) in terms of score Opm will surely remain above those two, but popularity is a matter of how much a show gets recommended or talked about in unrelated discussions (remember that time when every existing show got related/compared to sao or Aot ? this thread is one example of that), it's not directly related to the quality of the show |

Also as you already made up your mind about SnK being a shitty show no amount of reasoning would be enough to convince you. |
| ^ ok, think about it in terms of "target audience" do you honestly think sao, Aot and Opm are the same? (assuming you've read the Opm manga, and have seen the other two, to be able to make that comparison) i don't think they start from the same basis |
