The same thing happened with Kaiju No. 8.

In three months, when Dandadan finishes and the Sakamoto Days anime is released, everyone will move on to Sakamoto Days, and Dandadan will be forgotten, just like Kaiju No. 8, Hell's Paradise, or any other new shounen these days.

This isn't a shounen thing. It's just a result of the seasonal cycle. The conversation moves on. Especially when the shows haven't made it very far into their stories.

It's the amount of shows and casual viewers. Watching anime has become a trend, and tiktok kids love moving from one trend to the other constantly.

This happens with all anime, not just shounens. While the anime is being released, the more people comment, the more hyped the anime becomes. After it ends, another one will appear, so we will turn our attention to the next one, and so on. It's not that they have been forgotten, it's just that there are always new things to be talked about and consumed.

Not true...

since Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen and MHA are some of the most popular/hyped Shows ever....despite beeing out for ages and having multiple seasons


Stick to bashing Frieren and hyping Re:Zero.
At least you're funny then

I didn’t want to watch Kaiju No. 8 and I don’t care about Sakamoto.


But I was interested in this anime.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Yeah and this goes far beyond just shounen. Videogames have the same stuff happen. Everyone moves on and wants next game barely after a month.

This is the exact reason why fans want weekly releases instead of binges like with Netflix and jojos

weekly series makes it be talked about for much longer

It's the sad fate of shows that don't quite reach the JJK or SpyxFam level of popularity, they become popular only while they are airing, then people move on to the next thing...

anime airing = stuff to talk about
anime finished airing = no stuff to talk about
is that really that hard to understand for people?

people shift their attention to other shows that become relevant, doesnt say anything about the quality

im no expert but I think its more about what's trending and what media promotes seasonally. anime, as we know, has new batches of shows being released every season, so it would be weird if a fresh set if shows is coming out and media sources keep promoting last season goods. they've got to keep with the changes in order to let people know "Yes now its Dandadan and now it's winter and now it's Sakamoto Days or Solo Leveling" that's hiw media works, marketing works.

for personal preferences, people will remember a show like Dandadan even when the hype goes out after the autumn season ends cause they genuinely liked it. I still am fanning over Frieren even though the hype as of now isn't as much as it was when it was releasing. Dandadan is basically one of those animes that will be remembered and people will mention it from time to time.

the difference is in the episodes. shows like jjk and demon slayer got a 25 episode first season and they were popular so they stuck around in people's minds longer and had time to get deeper into the story and show some good stuff off while stuff like chainsaw man only had 12 episodes so they didn't have as much time to get more into the story and stick in people's minds

That's true, but you'd also be lying to yourself if you thought those collabs come from something other than the franchise's combination of high popularity when it came out and extremely marketable character designs.

@Menternor Exactly, those come from the series popularity that still stands to this day, which means that the person I quoted was wrong, I'm not lying to myself about anything here.

@Dubl72 so mid yet you rate it 8/10? pretty sure mid would be at 5/10 considering mid means middle/average. Pretty funny when you rate Wistoria at 9/10 when its a pretty mid rip off of black clover but hey, go off I guess lol

Because people just base their interest while an animated series get released. People who read the series just read series till it finish, since the schedule, in this case, is weekly

...Are you asking why hype only lasts as long as the show is airing?
Because after the show's finished airing, there's no more of the show to watch, so people talk about it less?

Is this a real question?

@stevejawbs @Okeanix's ass is getting handed to him on twitter/x and getting ratio'd lol. He's coming back to MAL to puke out more low effort troll posts. Expect to see more slop out of him in other popular anime forums with equally low effort generalist posts without a good discussion point.

not specific to genre, it happens all the time. what do you want people to do, keep rewatching something they already watched? it's normal for people to move on, then when season 2 gets released they will hype over that until it's over, and the cycle will continue.

It’s the same with anything else, just trendy, doesn’t mean it’s bad or anything but stuff only lasting for a few months ain’t just an anime thing. There are few anime that are absolutely timeless and are always popular.

The animes you mentioned in your comment are popular animes but with very questionable productions. Hell's Paradise had a very noticeable drop in animation when it was being released. Kaiju 8 was the one with the most potential but it got a not very inspired Staff. It wasn't a bad adaptation but many fans expected more.

Sakamoto Days from the trailers It looks like it will have a very average adaptation.

shounen is focus life span

its made for shounen and if we know anything about them they like stuff like TikTok 2 min video so a series of like 9-15 weekly episode is too much for them to hype and if it's not hyped for no reason to put money on it so the series itself becomes weak and people stop talking about it outside the fandom

Not all shounen. Kny and Jjk are still going strong. Bleach Tybw arc is hyped. Black Clover return might be big as well.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Actually, a month is a little bit more than 4 weeks (excluding February), so with those 2 or 3 extra days per month, 3 months ends up amounting to 13 weeks. That's why some 1 cour shows have 13 episodes, although it's usually 12 most of the time.

Of course! That's why I made the correction: 3 months is "almost equal" (often exactly) to 13 weeks, and 13 weeks is not "almost equal" to 12 weeks. 😅
