:(
Hopefully Ashihara gets well soon and it isn't anything serious.
4kids really hurt the ip for a lot of people in the early 00's in the USA. The fact it's managed to come this far is a testament to the series unstoppable popularity and quality.
I think its also really important to remember that the culture around manga in the west was veerrrrrryyyyy different when One Piece started versus MHA. One Piece was very daunting to get into when MHA started getting big with an anime.
Also.... super heroes are somewhat popular in the West :P
MHA came at the right time. Superheroes were bigger than ever, and along comes this manga that's not only a loving tribute to them, but its own superhero story. Then the anime came out and propelled it into the stratosphere.
If against all odds it's actually good and popular. Absolutely.
That is a huge if though.
I guess
Do people actually refer to it as similar to Harry Potter?
Aside from the people who refer to EVERYTHING as Harry Potter of course
Really the cast didn't look that bad.
And rule of statics say even if the chance is almost zero, as long as it's not zero if you repeat the same experiment (in this case adapting an manga/anime into a live action western show) it will eventually work :P
Come back in 1.5-2 years when the mashle anime starts and replace violent with comedic.
I mean, you can keep violent in addition to comedic. Like 95% of the series is just Mash punching wizards, after all
Yeah but the action still has more of a comedic tone, like you're not worried someone will die or be seriously hurt in a Mashle fight.
Before seeing what you were replying to, I assumed it was about Mashle haha. Definitely major Harry Potter homage/satire in that one.
Only in the US
Anime has been popular in places like latin america and France for a long time
In fact OP is very big in france
I didn't think it would end with the power of friendship
I believe it was raws one but i urgently to avoid them if you're a non-reader and want to hold it off for next year's final season part 2.
The leak was big enough to be remarked on
Yonkou forgot to put Magu-chan after Undead Unluck in that list.
This is Nine Dragon's first ranking. Not a good look so far, but we'll see.
Also, here's Phantom Seer's replacement.

IMO the story has only gotten better as it's gone. The last two chapters with the dog shooting competition were really compelling and really sold me on the lead.
It was for sure a risk, shame the series ended up in Jump and not on like Manga+ or another magazine. Jump is probably too cutthroat for a "lets build the team over 20-30 chapters".
I'm not convinced this is a huge problem when it took over 20 chapters for Slam Dunk to have anything resembling an actual basketball game and even then it didn't focus on basketball or even finish recruiting the core team until like chapter 50 after a several chapter long delinquent fight that's only connection to the sport was it took place in the gym with basketball club members
If you want a more modern comparison Haikyuu was also still in team building mode at this point in it's run, with the first real practice match against another team starting in chapter 11. I actually think rushing into matches without establishing the cast tends to be something you see more in failed sports series.
Jump's online services already have sports manga from my understanding and WSJ has none, so this is the smarter move on their. Here the writer and/or editor messed up.
Also, the writer is introducing the most popular positions first(pitcher, catcher, cleanup hitter, and shortstop), but I'm not sure the characters are interesting enough to carry the series. I don't see it lasting unfortunately.
Yeah, I've been liking it from the start, but it's really starting to pick up with these past few chapters. I've been enjoying the use of all those anachronisms thanks to the priests ability, it makes the tone more fun.
Been thinking this as well. We're looking at least one, could be two or more mini-arcs before actually getting to a ball game, that's probably gonna be too long for Jump.
I was reading some Eyeshield 21 recently and was reminded of how it skirted around this issue by using some randos as team filler so the series could jump into some games before introducing the rest of the team as it went along. I did like that approach.
Both Slam Dunk and Haikyuu have all time great level characters that were being developed to help at the beginning. Also, this is different from what something like Haikyuu did.
I think hinomaru was also building up a team this early too.
Team buildings a great way at introducing characters.
Prebuilt teams may give writers trouble, too many characters to juggle with this early, difficulty making them more than talking heads, making readers care for them
(think of the 2nd years in early haikyuu, ennoshita, kinoshita, and narita were there but no one paid attention to them)

It did, but Hinomaru still had complete matches from the beginning and even a tournament before the full team was put together. Sumo is a better sport for that kind of thing.

Seem to know a lot more about good ones to recommend but I'm really enjoying Beware the Villainess and Death is the only Ending for the Villainess so far. They're manwha on Tapas.

Agreed with these two. My favourite is Beware the Villainess by far as Melissa is such a badass character.
I have been reading Anyone can become a Villainess and the Villainess Lives Twice. Both of these are about women who were "sacrificed" by their families and decide to go "screw this" and change their life. The first one is a reincarnation story with a lady who is an archer and is more of an adventure story. The main character who is called Niviea is pretty cool and interesting. She is very witty and smart, not over powered but not fearless. Her story is trying to get away from her family and survive.
Right now it is more of a road trip type of story which could change later on. The second is more of a planning and deceiving type of story. Tia was manipulated by her mother and brother (who were cold to her) to do awful things to feel "loved" then she is sentenced to die then she decides to find a way to redo her life. From there she goes the opposite direction. She is still very cold and her experience from the prior life hardened her heart. The story is about how she uses her prior life to prevent her destruction and stop her brother. This delivers really well on the "villainess" aspect.
I also started reading Your Throne after someone recommended it to me. Still early on but it seems to be good. It is about a villainess and a heroine so you see both sides. It is well written so far.
I'm only just learning the breadth of this villainess subgenre, but I can't say I'm not interested.
Seems like the name for this one on Tapas is Villains are Destined to Die(?)
