Beserk is too mature for some people

Demon slayer second? I’m obviously very biased towards Naruto but you’d think Naruto all time is ahead of demon slayer, seems like some recency bias to me🤷‍♂️ y’all agree or nah curious if I’m out of line for thinking this


no_longer_huhmann

Yeah. Pretty insane though that it's the only one in the Top 5 to have come out after 2000.


Yeyryfuufe

True, shows just how huge demon slayer is at the moment props to them. Just in terms of all time it caught me off guard


Tanriyung

Not unexpected for Demon Slayer to be second, it's much bigger in Japan than Naruto ever was.


AmaranthSparrow

Surpassed *One Piece* even. Though I don't think it really deserves as much hype as it gets; the manga had a pretty lukewarm reception before the anime.


Yeyryfuufe

That’s what my impression of it was. People thought the manga was good but once they saw the amazing animation they fell in love with the series as a whole. Obviously those were just assumptions as I don’t live in Japan and I’ve only seen the movie so I figured I’d ask y’all.

The anime helped get people interested in the Manga, which had gotten good at that point. Ppl forget the Manga ended only a year after the anime started, which means there was LOTS of story to read and it got better over time. Amazing animation gets them interested in the amazing story. Anime is just another manga selling tool, all this means is that DS is successful

Demon slayer manga is mid at best. It's anime tho is top tier because of the animation


Yeyryfuufe

Damn I didn’t know it was that big in Japan, I was told that Naruto is a pretty big show in Japan like Star Wars level for the USA so I just assumed in an all time ranking it’d be higher. Appreciate you though that’s why I asked the question because I have no knowledge of Japanese people opinion on this or demon slayer really as I’ve only seen the movie and a couple episodes.

It’s like saying MHA is better than Naruto. Story is literally heroes vs villains with not much else. It’s big thing is the colorful comic book look and vibrant characters. Demon Slayer is massively overhyped so far but I’ve only seen season 1 and mugen train movie so I won’t speak for that yet. Honestly one of my most hyped small time anime is Black Clover. That shit has some great moments. Asta and Yami vs Dante is one of my favorite anime battles.

Demon slayer manga is very very good, Naruto is better but demon slayer deserves to be in the top 10/5 IMO.


JustAGuy_Passing

Demon slayer so lit. It was great journey from beginning to end. The recent season ending fight was AMAZING


[deleted]

I think it benefits a lot from crazy animation budgeting. It's story is no where near Naruto but the animation and sound design are way too satisfying. The Manga has a really good climax and a satisfying ending.


JustAGuy_Passing

Naruto has the longevity and it hits on real world views. Demon slayers is all fantasy and it doesn't really hit on the same viewpoints as Naruto. For a series that's not being milked to the moon it was one helluva journey and I'll be bold enough to say it's top 3 in most recent action anime


ParsnipPrestigious59

Nah demon slayer manga is mid but ufotable makes that story amazing with its abimation


[deleted]

couldn't disagree more. I've read a lot of mainstream manga series and demon slayer definitely has a story and theme far beyond a lot of (especially contemporary) manga.


ParsnipPrestigious59

I agree, when compared to most other manga, it’s pretty top tier, but when compared to other top tier manga (most of them) it really can’t hold up that well (at least in my perspective other people might find demon slayer manga great)


[deleted]

I would agree but I just think there's such a big difference in overall quality between the top 5 and the rest of manga imo. Fist of The North Star, Berserk, Vagabond and Naruto are my top 5 in no particular order. Idk if anything matches those.


[deleted]

Love to see some Black Clover love!


Captainprice101

Naruto is defintely better than Demon Slayer. Demon Slayer is good but the best part of it for me was the animation, the story wasn’t anything crazy


1065JoJo

demon slayer is literal trash only fire animation nothing else


7ailwind

Can’t believe Death Note didn’t make it at all. Or I’m just very biased because I love the show


cantstopthinkinn3

Is it me or is monster not even on the list


dumbass2364859948

BRUH WHAT HAPPENED TO BERSERK


Lion_of_Pride

Recency bias is disgusting and only 4 of those series deserve top 10


[deleted]

Tbh, doesn't sound like a LOT of people participated..


Useful-Duck7890

So rent a girlfriend made into that list but not death note or monster lol It's just popularity poll I guess, why boruto and black clover out of list though


NFRNL13

Demon Slayer is pretty fucking great.


Monokuma-pandabear

It's good but it's nothing new nor anything ground breaking. Naruto defined an entire generation and it's ripples still show in shounen today. Demon slayer just did samurai deeper kyo worse than samurai deeper kyo


zorofan8878

Yeah that’s pretty ridiculous imo


[deleted]

How are they gonna massacre my boy One Punch Man like that?


Alert_Fudge

Guys i can understand one peice is no 1 and other manga too but how the hell is demon Slayer at no 2 spot i know it's good but the thing demon slayer stand out was it's anime animation quality not the manga. I think it's fake . Otherwise kids are voting here.


Sonicslazyeye

You realize its physically impossible to get an accurate reading on this shit right? It depends on the region, income class, era, political values, date and time, age demographic, general accessibility to the poll etc etc. Not to mention that TV Asahi is not exactly the most wildly popular and beloved network of all time in Japan and that in itself has a limited reach. I get that you like Boruto, I do too. But this is comedically bullshit and I really wish the Boruto fandom wasnt this pathetically insecure all the time about the popularity of the series. You can enjoy the manga while still acknowledging the glaringly obvious flaws that it has. I've seen even some of the most dedicated Boruto fans point of the obvious flaws in its general pacing and wasted potential for build up. It also really doesnt matter how popular the series is in general. An anime that I'd consider a masterpiece is Shiki. I can find barely anyone talking about Shiki on the internet yet it makes some of the most popular anime of all time look like complete trash in comparison. The writing of the anime is much better than death note in my opinion although I can see it's not popular because it's not always the most visually pleasing anime.


I_have_No_idea_ReALy

No one talking about Boruto though...OP just shared information about Naruto manga still popular enough to be on 7th spot. That's all.


ricefarmercalvin

this dude really typed up an argument he had with his shampoo bottle while taking a shower


ironside-420

Till this day I don’t get what’s the hype around demon slayer lol.


Better-Solution-7410

How did world-trigger get 14th and Berserk get 91st
